    Store front

    Freshly made patties from this small store front. Expect to wait. Beef or chicken patty $2.99/ each. See other price on photo. Beef patty very saucy and tasty can be very hot inside so be careful! They also have other offerings curry goat and oxtail, coco bread, drinks. *Cash ONLY! Parking wise, outsidethe store front is a small strip mall, this is usually a very full lot.

    The place does get quite busy so there will be some wait ordering and receiving the food but the beef patty was fantastic. I've tried patties from less than 10 places so I may not be an expert, but this has been the best patty I have ever had. The ratio was perfect and the flavor was amazing. Would love to come back here again.

    One of my greatest regrets during my recent trip home was walking past Patty Time and not going in. I believe they offer vegetable patties, something I would've loved, and yet somehow I didn't stop. Big mistake. Huge. Patty Time is one of those staple spots that's been around forever, and for good reason. It's stood the test of time in a city that's always changing, and places like that deserve respect. I didn't eat here on this trip, but if I had gotten a patty anywhere, it would've been from Patty Time. I'd have wandered in got my patty and taken it to go because it was never a place I would dine-in at, but a place I would stop off at on my way home from school or on the way to the park with friends. If I remember correctly, it might have a table or two but not really a sit down and eat spot? I'm giving it four stars on nostalgia alone. I just hope it stays open long enough for me to make things right next time I'm back. Patty Time, don't go anywhere. I've got a patty to eat.

    I've been meaning to come here for a long time. Right when I come there is a lineup, and also this place only takes cash, so make sure you bring cash. We got a beef patty and a chicken patty, the beef patty was the saving grace, the chicken patty had too much curry powder. Their beef patty was dynamite, their chicken patty was too overpowering with curry powder. I can't believe I've never been here before, and you can see in the kitchen they are making the patties fresh. I see people are ordering other dishes here like oxtail I gotta try that next time. The crust was super flaky and buttery, I think I know how they make the filling but if you like beef patties this is the place to go.

    Cash only!! Come prepared. The single patties were $2.85 plus tax, whether beef or chicken. Went here for lunch and there was a lineup that wrapped to the door. But for singles, they work quick. I stood in line 10 minutes, but upon ordering, got my singles in 2 min. The ones i got were quite flat, not quite as filled as I've had with other patties. Considering they close a little early and are slightly more expensive, I think I'd prefer Patty King to these patties. But they are a close second.

    Look at the filling!

    Patty Time is at Brimley Rd & Lawrence Ave E-ish. A minimalistic takeout (don't expect decor or ambience!) joint nestled in a small plaza, parking can be a bit tight during peak meal times. When they're extra busy, they cap you at 6 patties - though usually, they only sell in singles or dozens! I'd love to do a mix of 6 beef and 6 chicken... Service is minimal. Order fast and please leave vibes. Little pricier than other places, but I'd say it is totally worth it. The patties are awesome though! Golden, flaky exterior gives way to a hearty filling, generously packed with meat and sauce, with a slight kick of spice. I buy frozen ones. Toss them in the airfryer, 350F, chubby side down for 15 minutes, then flip for a final 5. Worth a detour if you're in the mood for stocking up on patties.

    How come nobody told me about this place and I lived in Scarborough all my life? Omg, it's a jump, skip, and hop, and I am atvtheir door steps. Let's talk about location. It's in a small plaza east of Brimley on Lawrence. Normally, there is a lineup, but if you go early. It's a shorter line. The first time, I waited 20-25 minutes. Second time, only 5 minutes. I can see they make it fresh daily. I ordered 2 boxes of hot ones, not room temperature. The hot (as in temperature) is very hot. I waited 2 minutes and there was a party in my mouth. These are the best patties I have ever tasted. (This is my opinion). It's fresh, juicy, and tasty. I ate one, and I couldn't stop myself, so I ended up eating 4. Lol. I highly recommend this place. Delicious!

    Hands down one of if not THE BEST Jamaican beef patties I've ever had! There WILL be a line, and you WILL wait in it. It was worth the wait. There will always be a line. The crust is flaky, and the filling is perfect. Nicely seasoned, a little bit of heat, and not skimpy on the filling. The ground beef isn't that mushy paste you get with some patties. You can see the grounds of meat. It's a nice mom and pop kind of shop, and it's cash only. The parking is limited, and the hours are short. Closed Sunday and Monday. I wish they had a more refined ordering system or a bigger operation, but I think going through the hassle kind of adds to the charm. When you finally get your order and you take the first bite, it all kind of feels worth it.

    If you're looking for legit Jamaican beef patties, this is the place to go! I waited for approx 15 minutes (in line and food prep) for my dozen of patties. They came out sooo fresh, it was steaming hot!!! I love when my food is hot, so I really enjoyed it. The crust was thin, so you'll need at least two patties to get full. Highly recommend if you're craving for patties!

    Super busy spot! There was a line out the door when we stopped by on a weekend, but it went pretty quick. Maybe a 10-15minute wait to order? 100% worth the wait. Got a couple of piping hot beef and chicken patties to eat in the car, along with a dozen frozen beef patties. The chicken wasn't dry at all, with a nice curry flavour. I'd definitely get it again. But their beef patties were amazing. Super generous with their filling, and the dough was perfectly flakey, not too thick or doughy. Has become our go to spot for patties. Delicious! Cash only. Will try their oxtail next time, heard it was delicious!

    $25.99 for a dozen as of 12/2023. Or each Patty is $2.75.

    Hands down best beef patty I've tried. It isn't a myth but a fact how juicy and flaky. Everything was spot on to make a perfect Patty. Service was quick and fast. I've only had their beef but will definitely try their sold out chicken. Only thing I wish was they don't close so early but other than that 5/5! Note: Patty by the dozen $25.99 Per Patty $2.75 They offer chicken and beef

If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

Jerk Chicken is cooked nice, fall of the bone, good flavour and hit of hot peppers. I'd come back!

All of the oxtail shredded meat, the cheese, the slaw, and the patty all perfectly come together into a very hearty meal. For its price, it is very filling and extremely tasty. The other thing we had was the Large Jerk Chicken meal. The Jerk Chicken was how I personally would want it. Not too hot, not too salty, not burnt, and spiced just right. The rice & beans proportion to the protein was just a little more than what I would prefer, but it is not a big issue. There was also a piece of bread that we had along with the meal which I enjoyed having. It was tasy and soft bread that perfectly acts to refresh the palate so we can go for another bite out of the Jerk Chicken or the Oxtail patty. What was a little letdown was that the place was a little small and not really primarily setup to accommodate a lot of indoor dining. There was no washroom or at least a place to wash hands. Service was also just alright. It was not bad, but just not among the best service standards that I know. You would need to come in with a lot of patience in waiting to order and waiting for the food to be ready to serve. Between taking orders, the person over the counter would also be occasionally be on the phone answering call inquiries.

    Although not the traditional way to eat jerk chicken and roti chicken because it comes with random…read more fix-ins such as cheese, tomatoes, corn and others, I really enjoy Scotty Bons' menu! Large portions and flavourful add ons. I love to add the chutney, scotty pickle and creamy sauces. Only downside is I would prefer if they used bone in chicken for the jerk items. I've also tried the chicken roti. The filling, sauce, chickpeas and potatoes are delish but the roti bread itself could be lighter and softer. A few times I've ordered the roti felt more like a thin pita instead of a roti. Parking at the Markham location can be difficult as it is off the main road (Hwy 7) which is busy at all hours of the day so there's no avoiding that and there are only so many spaces.

    Reviewing this for takeout specifically as I was visiting from out of town:…read more The food was jam packed into the pie tray with plenty of rice, veggies, and meat. Each item seemed to complement each other and had you wanting to take one bite after the other. The chicken was very soft and flavorful, the rice had a nice texture and you could tell it was made in flavorful spices, and the veggies were nice and creamy. The tropical hot sauce was the icing on the cake, or in this case, the bowl. I wish I ordered a spicier sauce because the medium felt more like a step up from mild but not quite medium. My one complaint regarding this is that because they are served in pie trays with plastic covers, there's no real way of hearing this back up unless you have plates. So be aware of this if you're ordering this for delivery at a hotel and be sure to ask your hotel for plates. All in all a great experience and would eat it again if I come back to Toronto.

    I learned recently that Grace Foods makes jerk chicken patties. I had to figure out where I could…read moregrab some. Aunt Elsie's Caribbean Kitchen had them in stock. I decided to drop by on Saturday, just after noon. It's in a fairly dumpy strip mall on Eglinton Avenue East, just west of Brimley Road, in Scarborough. There is plenty of parking. I parked fairly close to the entrance. A car was illegally parked in front of the business next to Aunt Elsie's. I don't get why folks need to do that when there are so many parking spots. Aunt Elsie's looks like a tiny convenience store from the outside, but looks are deceiving. It's also a small Jamaican grocery store that doubles as a takeout eatery. I was not expecting such an amazing place. I simply wanted patties! I found the Grace jerk chicken patties. They came in mild and hot flavours. I always go with mild when I'm not familiar with how spicy items can be. There are also Allan's and Michidean patties. You know that you are at a decent place. Although I felt like Ms Pac-Man as I moved around a small space with a bunch of folks while trying to physically distance, I looked at all the condiments and spices. This place uses space wisely. The wall of condiments and spices is impressive. I also looked longingly at the chilli peppers. They looked pretty and deadly! The hot foods counter blew me away. You can't help but gawk at all the yummy food options, from various fried fish, to jerk chicken and curry goat while you are in line to pay for your items. I took one look at the salt fish fritters and knew that I needed to try them. I got two. Note to self: Get the oxtail dinner next time. Get more hot items after that. I had a lovely, sweet woman behind the counter get my fritters and cash me out. I paid using my debit card. She also bagged my goodies. I thanked her and wished her a lovely day. The customers at this store are friendly. I loved the vibe. They were courteous and nice, which I'm not necessarily used to in my neck of the woods! I was still full from breakfast. However, I made room to consume a salt fish fritter in my car before I continued running errands. OMG! It was so flavourful. The fish was salted, but not to the point where you feel like you need to down a litre of your favourite beverage afterwards. It was seasoned perfectly. I think that there was garlic, onion, and red pepper, at least. So good! I have such a weakness for fritters and I'm glad that I caved here. I heated up a jerk chicken patty for breakfast (hey, why not?) this morning. It does have a spice kick that is more than what you'd typically expect from an item that is labelled mild. Highly yummy. The filling is flavourful and the dough part was perfect. Each patty is individually wrapped to preserve freshness. A box is $5.90. I love them! Aunt Elsie's was such a terrific find. If you want to order hot food in advance, this eatery is on Uber Eats. Otherwise, you can call ahead. (396)

Oxtail is always my go-to and this one didn't disappoint. We enjoyed everything. I wanted to give the full 5 stars but I have to say, I was missing the heat. That might've been on us for not asking for pepper sauce.
