This place exceeded my expectations. So much so, that I was only in Toronto for 24 hours and I ate there twice. The vibe is right, the food is amazing, the cocktails are delicious. Overall highly recommend. read more

Amazing food! So delish! I went for brunch and they were super busy, however the service was still on point! The fried chicken and waffles were amazing, so were the chicken wings. I also tasted the eggs benny's. Well done! read more

Visited a 2nd time before I left town & it was just as delicious as the first time! I wish they sold their habanero hot sauce because it's a perfect milder hot sauce for when you just want to add just a little bit of heat read more

Food was okay. Service slow. Prices exorbitant. $28 for a very small piece of red snapper that was just okay tasting. Nothing to write home about and the wait was 2 hours. read more

Came in for my birthday dinner and had amazing cocktails and fabulous food. The likkle patties with the mango hot sauce are great and for dinner we had the jerk chicken and curried goat which were delicious. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was excited to try this place after all the amazing reviews it got so I ordered the Jerk Chicken with coleslaw via Ritual. The coleslaw had some good flavours but not true Jamaican style coleslaw, I was willing to let it go because everyone has their way of making it and the flavours complimented each other. What was truly disappointing was the jerk chicken, it was moist but the flavours were just not there if I did a blind taste test there was no way I would have guessed that I was eating jerk chicken. I haven't tried the other items so I can't give my feedback on the rest of the menu. read more

I went here for my 19th birthday and let me just say, this was definitely a birthday bash! The fun island atmosphere and amazing authentic cuisine took me to the sunny island of Jamaica without physically being there! The mojitos tasted like candy. The fried plantains were to die for. The jerk chicken was perfectly spicy (I enjoy spicy food so this may vary for others). If you're in Toronto and definitely if it's your birthday, stop by Chubby's to celebrate like a queen or king! read more

Loved the decor, delicious food and cocktails too. Awesome music. There was a 30 minute wait for our table but we were happy to have drinks and apps at the bar while we waited. Friendly service. Loved the diversity of the staff. Great experience! read more

Jerk chicken, plantains, pepper shrimp and kale/papaya salad were awesome!!! Definitely would come here again. Nice patio in the back as well read more

I love the decor of this place! Amazing with great ambience. Would recommend in ordering the chicken wings and kale salad. Their drinks are really good as well. I wish their patties were bigger vs smaller test sizes. Would recommend to come back again read more

I came to Chubby's with my husband on a Thursday for lunch. Chubby's is my first time take on Jamaican food so I will not be hard on the food but I am told Jamaican food (esp. Jerk chicken) is supposed to blow ones mind. Well I was a bit underwhelmed at Chubby's 1) Restaurant Setting is awesome 2) wait staff are friendly 3) Food: 3 items on the menu turned out to be not offered that day when we started ordering (we weren't told in advance) I kept jumping from one item to the next to which I got an OOPS we don't have that dish today. My husband ordered half a jerk chicken and I ordered fish with coconut shavings and salted fish fritters for appetizers. The fritters were ok but not as good as their price claims to be. The quantities were on the small side. The jerk chicken in my opinion was not properly marinated, I cook a lot and sometimes fall short on marinating my food and I always can tell when I did it properly and when I didn't. The fish was great and very unique in flavor but also the price doesn't justify the portions served. I give it 3/5! read more

Great service, super cute space, the food (especially the jerk) was very well-done. Absolutely worth the visit.

I love this place!! Good food, good vibes. I feel like I'm on vacation every time I come here

Went one week after opening. Yes to good-to-very good food. No to service. Big no. Reasons: 8 people, we ordered a ton of food, and were hoping it would be paced. Within 20 minutes, every single dish was piled on the table with no logic sense or timing, even better the drinks did not come to the table until 20 minutes after the food arrived. The food was outstanding, but they did not have the mechanisms and timing between kitchen and bar down. Hopefully, by fixing that, they can compete with much more consistent environments like Patois. Good job, not great job. Will return and hopefully will add a star. read more

Hidden gem. Don't let the outside appearance fool you. Amazing interior decoration. Staff are very friendly. Pattie is a must. Jerk wing, chicken and pork are to die for. Ox tail stew is so tender. Most of all, drink are fabulous and not short off alchohol. Definitely on my favour dining list. read more

This place was great. The service was spectacular, and the food was incredible. Whenever I'm back in the city I'll be sure to visit

Loved their jerk chicken! Also to die for were the wings and patties. Liked the veggie patties best. Full of flavor and had great crisp.

Love this place! Jerk shrimp is really good and do NOT leave without trying the Jamaican patties!

Amazing place! The menu has a great selection, the environment is warm and welcoming, the music is great and the service was awesome. The restaurant itself is a little small and they have small tables to accommodate that, but just keep what you need at your table and it works well. The Jamaican patties were fantastic - an order comes with two veggie patties and two turkey patties. Both flavours were very good, I would definitely order them again. I also ordered the goat curry while I was there. The meat was so soft and perfect! Great flavour as well :) Chubbys is a must visit! (Make a reservation!) read more

Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen - Jamaican patties :) two veggie and two turkey patties - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The food here was amazing! We were a group of 4 so we each ordered small plates to share. There was nothing we didn't like. The ox tail was the best I have ever had. The ackee was soooo good. The whole dining experience was amazing and the restaurant is so beautiful. Anytime I'm in Toronto, I will make sure I'm back!!! read more

A fabulous experience..for apps..if you like spicy try the pepper shrimps.. comes with in house baked hardo bread..so good. The oxtail is a must, the deserts..so hard to choose..all delicious, I love the rum and raisin bread pudding. The Cocktails are creative, you cannot go wrong with the rum punch. Service is friendly and fun. read more

Beware when ordering through uber eats. Ordered a watercress and papaya salad and added a jerk chicken breast to it with a side of slaw. Not cheap. Came up to $38 (mind you all the delivery fees). However, I didn't get my chicken! So I paid $38 for a salad and slaw. Was really looking forward to trying this place out but am very disappointed read more

Very friendly service. Great-tasting food. Ambiance is nice (They could get rid of a few tables so people are not packed in, however.).

This place is AMAZING. Ambience legit and food is even better. I had the jerk wings and immediately wanted to know who was back there cooking. Then had the curried goat and sampled other entrees and I didn't taste anything that I wouldn't rate 5 stars. I will definitely be back read more

I love the vibe here! The décor is so cute (very Insta worthy) We sat upstairs at the bar and drank Hibiscus Mojitos which were unreal. The jerk wings were great, but the pepper shrimp and the burger were just okay. I'll be back though! read more

Love the vibe of this place. Server was great, drinks were awesome and food was tasty! The okra was amazing and I would highly recommend! The rum raisin bread is great too. Will definitely be back. read more

The food was so good. We ordered apps, mains and dessert and everything was amazing. The ambiance is really cool and well though out as well. The service was really disappointing. Our server seemed very uninterested in us. Didn't really ask if it was our first time (it was, so it would've been nice to get some sort of intro to the menu), or why we were there (we were celebrating a birthday which I noted in the reservation, even though nothing came of it), so it was a little disappointing. No check-ins during the meal, just came back to ask if we wanted anything or "were ready to leave." I included the note about the birthday because I overheard someone who I assume to be a manager, telling a server about a birthday table and telling her how to prepare for surprising the guest. We definitely did not get the same service or anything close to it. Would go back for the food; definitely not for the service. read more

Had the spicy jerk chips, Caribbean veggie stew, and jerk chicken. They were all so delicious! Loved Chubby's atmosphere and how attentive and down-to-earth the staff were as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Love their jerk chicken. Staff were friendly, ambience was great. Music was excellent. We would definitely be back. :)

Food was great. Atmosphere was real chill and laid back. Definitely worth coming for a casual meet up or hot date.

we have a group activity and it so happen that we choose this restaurant. it is very pleasant when we enter the restaurant because it has a tropical vibrant and it is more satisfying when we try their delectable dishes. Good job for their excellent service. Thumps up read more

I had an interview today and, what a place. I was focused on what I saw-amazing people who enjoy their jobs, polite, and, professional mannered. I am hoping to be a future chef with the best Andrea and, his team of fine empressarios or as I would term them "creative artists in fine dining." read more

Good cocktails, good vibes, good food, good service. Just remember it's a King Street West Restaurant, so don't expect Ritz (et al) sized portions and prices. Food is well presented and is delicious but the pepper levels have been toned down just enough for those of us who can't handle full blown Jamaican Jerk but still want some of the burn. If you've never been to Jamaica, this place is a pretty decent replica of some of the goodness of Jamaican cuisine. The Kingston 10 cocktail and all the appetizers tapas styled is a good start. Will definitely go back. read more

We had a really nice meal at Chubby's. The okra was great and highly recommend ordering it. The wings and warm watermelon salad were also tasty. Service was friendly and the restaurant has the kind of vibe that makes you feel warm and welcome. read more

Chubby's was great the atmosphere the people who work there. The gave us a great dining experience so if you're ever in Toronto you must stop there and eat. read more

Food was good, won't say great. We ordered and food was presented in a flash, which means it's all pre prepared. Jerk was super dry! The downtown location is trendy and hip. Nice decor, great island vibe. That's what you're paying for, for sure! Portions are small, prices are not which I guess is the norm for downtown spots. As other reviewers have said music is super loud which makes conversation a bit tricky and also means it caters to the younger crowd. Great for an evening out, but if you have a more discerning palate and are going to be WOWED by the food, you may be disappointed. read more

Jerk Chicken was amazing order it with rice and beans. The Oxtail Stew was very good authentic. There was a long wait but we sat at the bar where the bartender who served us could not have been nicer. Would highly recommend worth the wait if you have too. read more

Absolutely a waste of money. There must have been just 3 ounces of meat but the entree was $20. It was bland and cold.

Delicious food all around. I came with a group of five and enjoyed several things from their menu. The wings in particular were amazing. Love the vibrant, colorful decor. Service was friendly but a tad slow, not sure if they were short-staffed. Would come back again and try their drinks this time. read more

Service was poor but the food was tasty. It felt like you had to order everything at once or else you would never see them again, and when you did they didn't pay attention to our table. I have never posted a review but this was very upsetting. read more
