Mr Jerk - Large jerk chicken combo - Caribbean Near Me - North York, Ontario

I've been to the community for quite some time, and I've eaten at many eateries in the area. Mr. Jerk must have changed. They're management because food nowadays it's not good at all. Service is bad. Food is horrible and I don't know why they don't see it in themselves to make positive change. read more

Just a really awesome Jamaican shop in this neighbourhood. Naturally there was a physically distanced lineup for people to get their orders. For a quick lunch stop, we ordered a jerk chicken and jerk pork sandwich and couldn't wait to tuck in once we sat in the car. The place offers a lot of great Caribbean cuisine staples and the smell when you enter the store whets the appetite instantly. Both the sandwiches were magically delicious! The chicken and pork were so tender and full of flavour with the spices. The slightly acidic coleslaw provided some much needed crunch and brightness to the juicy goodness of the protein. Needless to say, the sandwiches were gone in a hot minute and we wished we had ordered more for lunch! read more

Probably closer to 3 or 3.5 for me in my experience but didn't wanna be too harsh. Had the curry chicken roti Yay: - Big portions, great flavours - Some decent options Nay: - Not as cheap as I thought it would be - The Roti was just microwaved so mehhhh - Small place, no seating and decor is super plain but you won't be coming here for the atmosphere :) Come for the taste and good food. read more

Hole in the wall is putting it lightly but don't be judging! The food is why I go! The chicken roti is just how I like it, thick, rich, and heavy. The roti shell itself was soft and with just enough chew and thickness to hold all its innards in place. There was an order the owner was doing of 9 jerk chicken dinners so apparently jerk chicken is a hit! Also I tried a side of rice and beans and it was really surprisingly good for something so simple. Pass on the dumplings-it was like a huge fried tim bit and it wasn't salty or sweet. Maybe I was supposed to dip it into something? It's service with a smile and to top it off the owner is uber nice. For the busy lunch hour, I suggest maybe call ahead and place your order for pick up otherwise you could be waiting in line for awhile. read more

I worked nearby this past summer and almost every meal I had during my break was from here. The owner is super nice and likes to chat when it isn't busy, which is rare - there's usually a line up in there. The jerk chicken dinner is amazing, but if you're not too hungry then the jerk chicken sandwich is also amazing! I've never had jerk anything before but after trying this place, I'm hooked. The patties and dumplings with gravy - oh man, don't even get me started on the gravy, it's great on everything - were my favourites of mine as well. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars for the one item I tried. Jerk Pork Sandwich ($4.99). Awesome. Tender, flavourful jerk seasoning. The Slaw and sauce they put in it just brings it to another level. I haven't tried their other dishes but they would use the same pork or chicken in the sandwich as they would for their dishes. So I can ascertain that the same quality and skill in their cooking would apply to their other dishes. I highly recommend ordering from them or making the effort to go out of your way to check them out. I know I will. The place does seem a little sketchy at first based on its location, and inside, like more Carribean take out places are very basic (not updated) Note, they do not take credit or debit. read more

Lunch special is small dinner with canned pop or a bottle of water is my go to. Super friendly family run business. Can be quite busy at times. Jerk pork is juicy and flavourful. read more

Love the Jerk Pork here , goes great with the Rice & Peas , Oxtail Gravy and House made fries dumpling . Could eat this everyday :) read more

This place is hands down the best jerk spot in Toronto. I like the Malton location best but was never disappointed with any of their several locations scattered across the city. The jerk has this amazing smokey punch you in the face flavour. I fiend for this place. The oxtail gravy on my rice n peas is something I tell my family and friends about. Keeps me coming for more, more, more!! I recently had the curry chicken dinner and let me tell you, so on point. I've been under the impression that the Trinidadians and Guyanese (shout out Alima's roti in Brampton... still my favorite roti spot) made the best curry but the Jamaicans can hold their own. This place made me a believer. Anything you get on the menu is a hit. You will not be left disappointed. It will scratch any itch you have. read more

THE BEST JERK In TORONTO! No, not the owners, but the food. It's just awesome. I've been going there for years but I think it's time to give some love back to this place that has helped me put on some pounds. Ricky and his family emigrated to Toronto and has made this place into an institution. As Angela H., the previous reviewer put it, "it's a hole in the wall", but the taste of all the food here is just incredible. The Jerk is as authentic as you can get from Jamaica. We love everything here so I cannot say what is my favourite. They have specials of the day so ask before you order because you can save even more money. We always try to get the soup because it's SOOO good. The only problem is that they sell out of it so fast, so you should always get it. One large order is enough for two people because they give you so much food. They renovated recently so the place is a bit larger in the front but the food is still the same as before. I paid $10.12 for a large jerk pork with rice/peas and vegies. This is only place that I go to for the Jerk meats and if you go there at lunch time, there's always a huge line up, so try to go there either just before noon or after 2pm. Their new location is just a few doors down from the new LCBO that they are building on in this plaza. read more

My new favourite jerk spot in the area. Got the jerk pork dinner and it was fantastic. I was very impressed with the generous portions of meat included in the dinner. I also had a beef patty and it was also great. Don't forget to bring cash since they don't accept debit and credit for now. Next time I'll take pictures. read more

Most Excellent restaurant. They gave me a student special. $5.99 for Jerk Chicken, a large portion of rice and beans, and steamed vegetables which is cabbage and carrots stewed. The jerk chicken was extremely good, but watch out for the bones! It's my first time trying jamaican food, and this restaurant gave me a great opinion of it. 5 Stars. They don't take debit and credit cards, only cash, but there is an BMO ATM in the Sobey's nearby, CIBC across the street, TD branch in the plaza, and a RBC ATM further down Lawrence Street. A Scotiabank is on the opposite side of the street on Keele,I think. read more

Big food !!!!!I use to eat here with my dad it's not even Jamaican food anymore since the lady that cooks everything is Chinese ... not real Jamaican food . The place is very unsanitary I got jerk chicken from them lasT week and I got sick after seeing a bug in my food !! read more

Such a find, as the food is awesome, prepared properly, with TLC, and the service is great. If you want to taste the ultimate in Jerk Pork, you came to the right place. read more

Was in the neighborhood and feeling hungry so figured I'd see what yelp had to offer. Don't eat much jerk, as although I like spicy food, jerk is often too spicy. Decided to have the jerk pork sandwich and asked if I could get it only mildly spicy. The lady said it's already made, so I decided to take a chance. Turns out it was the perfect spice for me and extremely tasty. Jerk pork coleslaw and gravy on the 's sandwich for $5.99. Will definitely come back next time I'm in this area for more tasty food. read more

I have been to this spot 3 times now with a year. I have to say that today's experience was not up to their regular standards. We were there around 2:45pm. The place looked clean and the service was okay. My first two times the jerk chicken was spicy and juicy. The beef Pattie was thicker mix inside. The roti was more bone than anything. We are disappointed. Today well my husband said it best, the cook must be on vacation. We might go back in the future but for the time being, we are going to look for a new spot. Hope they come back cause the staff are friendly and efficient. read more

Best jerk pork in the city. The people who work here are so friendly and love to chat. I usually get the small jerk pork dinner with steamed vegetables. The oxtail gravy is great! They're very generous on their servings. The patties have a fluffier crust but still taste great. Can't complain about pricing either. For two patties, a small dinner, and dumpling (extra gravy), came to less than $15. Can't beat that deal for that much food. Will continue going back when I'm in the area. read more

After visiting my dad in the nursing home, my son and I went to MrJerk. Had the oxtail and the jerk pork. Very good food and decently priced. read more

Great Chicken, great gravy. Jerk pork is one of the best I've had. Pattys are great from what I understand they get them from allens bakery which is a plus. Owners are extremely friendly as well which is a big plus. read more

To.die.for.patties! The pastry crust was just amazing as it was fresh,flaky, with a slight sweetness but still savoury. The filling was flavourful and a little spicy. Can't wait to get it next time! read more

Good jerk chicken at a very reasonable price. This location is near the LCBO at the south east corner of Keele and Lawrence. You can eat in but you can't sit down. Mostly take out with a good daily lunch special. Friendly staff and fresh food due to it being very popular. read more

We were intending to go someplace else for lunch but the kids feel asleep in the car so takeout it was! I decided it was time to try Mr. jerk since we were only in town another day. They were closed when we got there even though the sign said they were supposed to be open. When we turned to go back, we saw that they had opened and a long line was already forming! Got several lunch specials (1/4 chicken, coleslaw, rice with peas and gravy) and the Jamaican patty. The chicken was absolutely delicious, nice and spicy and the rice and peas were great with the gravy. Coleslaw was meh but then again, I wasn't there for that! Jamaican patty was also very tasty. I can't vouch for the authenticity of this place but the taste was excellent and there seemed to be a lot of Caribbean folks in line so that speaks volumes. Oh, we also tried fried plantains and those were pretty standard, nice and soft and sweet. read more
