I never write Yelp reviews, but my belly is so full and happy, my fingers just need to get to typing. Uber eats doesn't have much of a selection of places that'll deliver me jerk chicken or oxtail when I got a craving, but being hungover, lazy, and starved, I decided why not give Raps a go (I didn't have a choice). The oxtail was so good the only thing keeping me from just inhaling it, was the bones - that I then cleaned off, leaving no trace behind. The rice and peas - perfect. And the coleslaw - I coulda eaten a whole bucket. It was sweet n vinegary blended just right and had a kick to it. I'd order from here everyday if my take away food budget was as big as my appetite - maybe one day! For now I'll just look forward to trying all the other things on the menu whenever the big cravings hit. read more

Awesome jerk spot. In a whole in the wall of Toronto. Best jerk chicken my girlfriend and I have ever eaten, and she's a chef. We were going to check out the annual jerk fest but got there and it was 15 per person to enter when it used to be free, So we went on the hunt for authentic jerk. We found raps on Yelp and were on our way 25 min drive. When we arrived we ordered a chicken dinner small and a side of chicken. We got the rice and coleslaw and had to wait for the meat as it was being made fresh in front of the store on a bbq. After 10 minutes we both received generous portions of chicken. We were both stuffed and loved the flavour and the overall experience. Definitely coming back here. Friendly service and fresh food. read more

This place may not be known for cleanliness but for the price and the amount of food you get you definitely can't go wrong. One of the best places out there hands down. Best part is their open until really late too. read more

Not sure why people are making a big deal here!! Vistied the joint after I read the reviews and in short; I will never go there again. Far away from the real Jamaican food especially Jerk chicken. read more

Good place to pick up quick take out dinner. I visited here 4 times so far and it's a decent place. They have freshly grilled jerk chicken and tender ox tail. However I think this place is little over hyped. I been to many other Caribbean places in TO and they are better than this place. If you happen to be near by, try it out but don't make a separate trip to visit here. There are plenty of other good Caribbean places in TO. read more

Worse food quality . I ordered through uber eats app oxtail and guess what they saved me with 3 piece of tiny oxtail meat with 1 plantin slice read more

See all

I was not expecting much based on the location but I was very surprised. After some somewhat sketchy service, the cook came out with some of the best jerk chicken I've ever had on a plate of rice that was more than most could finish (Incidentally, I could). I will certainly be back. read more

best jerk chicken in the 416 hands down better than the real jerk or rasta pasta - could up their game on their spicy sauce for the rice and peas a la The Jerk King read more

Lots of reviews on this place and we were really excited to eat here. We got the oxtail, jerk chicken and chicken soup. Oxtail - soft and succulent but we only got a small portion with a ton of rice. Jerk chick - disappointed. It looked and smelled amazing but was dry. Soup - not bad but I've had better. I think for the price you pay, there should be a larger portion of protein. Really friendly staff though and I wish I had a better review to give. read more

This is probably the best jerk chicken ive ever had!! The chicken unlike the place beside it (hot pot) and many other places leaves this smokey flavour in the chicken. The chicken is fall off the bone and good to the very last bite. Normally i get the med jerk chicken with rice which is $10 including tax. If you like spicy ask them for the pepper sauce(hot sauce) they put on it! I used to go to jerk king on bloor as my go to place but now its all about raps! The only downside its the wait time is a bit longer than other jerk chicken places and is in a sketchy area but it is still worth the wait and the hassle of interacting with the homeless people and crackheads outside asking for spare change. read more

The best and most authentic jerk chicken in town. I often stop after clubbing to get some jerk chicken. Actually, I go out of my way. I have Jamaican friends who wouldn't eat jerk chicken from anywhere else but Raps. read more

The jerk chicken is amazing, fall off the bone. it's not very spicy though, but hot sauce is available at the front of the store. The oxtail is amazing and flavourful too. read more

Took a weekend trip to Toronto with my boyfriend and friend and we got hungry around 1am and nothing was open except a few places, this one included. we went and all got our separate meals and I really recommend this place to anyone around the area. you can tell a lot of effort and authenticity went into this food at a very reasonable price. I would definitely return. read more

The chicken is moist and full of flavour. The skin is perfectly crisp and there's a nice smoke flavour in that little Styrofoam container. It's also reassuring to actually see the man on the oil drum BBQ outside on the sidewalk. The place definitely lacks the refinement of more gentrified neighborhoods, but the authenticity of this place is something you definitely can't call into question. The rice and peas could be a little tastier, but the jerk is on point. If you're in the area and you're looking for a late-night nibble, definitely skip the drive-thru at have some jerk. read more

Friendly smile right when we walked in! We had the oxtail and jerk chicken, servings were packed in and delicious! Priced fairly. We will be back for sure. read more

Best spot to get jerk chicken in the city! Open very late on the weekends. My only complaint is that the wait can take a while if a new batch of chicken is being made but it's so worth the wait! read more

Damn. This place is very good to your tastebuds. First of all, it's amazing to wait by a drum barbecue while they cook the jerk chicken and you get covered in amazing barbecue smell. Then, you watch this guy chop it up while your mouth waters all while you are standing on Eglinton West (and in my case it's 1AM and a lot of interesting people are walking by....sometimes stumbling lol). Once I got home and ate it, I was happy as a peach. Sometimes rice and beans can just be starch blah, but this rice and beans mixing with the jerk chicken and beautiful hot sauce makes magic. I WILL BE BACK [in arnold voice]! read more

Awesome jerk chicken..plus they're open super late! Best late night food in the area!

The only place I go to for authentic jerk chicken outside Jamaica. Great portions, well priced and open late!

This is my go to place for Jerk chicken now. My only regret is that I didn't get enough hot sauce. Myself and 2 other guys ordered 1 large Jerk chicken meal, 1 large Oxtail meal and 1 family sized chicken!! Next time, more hot sauce on the side. Peace and love! read more

Probably top 3 jerk chicken in Toronto... maybe the best! Now that they are delivery with ubereats I haven't been able to get enough!

Can I say... AMAZING?? For $10, (they ran out of rice and peas at the time so I had to run next door to get some), I had a large rectangular take out box FULL of jerk chicken goodness. The guy manning the outside BBQ was a super sweetie, drenching our take out boxes in the home made gravy. Can't wait to go back again!! :) read more

Didn't love the food. Just ordered from here through UberEats and found a piece of plastic wrapper in my rice. I feel like it could have potential if you get the food fresh, but knowing it was prepared in a careless manner has dampered the overall experience for me. I posted a picture of the plastic in the tips section. read more

Came in to try the Jerk chicken. Wasn't able to as I was told I had to wait, as a large order was being prepared. Why would I wait for you to complete a catering order when you could easily prepare 1 meal, have me pay, then I leave? What if the place was packed? What would you guys do? You'd be screwed. Then you tell me 5 minutes later you might be out of Jerk chicken after this order. Wtf? The customer service is always sub par in Carribean restaurants across the GTA. Do better. read more

Excellent food; excellent service. It's worth the drive to the west end, even if you live in Scarborough, like me. Yes, the food is that good. read more

So we always go to Raps to get our jerk chicken when we are craving it. We went tonight and saw that the drum pan was not lit up and figured they jerked and had it all inside. When we wine inside the main server wasn't there and won't be back till March so they have substitutes. We realized that these substitutes do not know how to cook or jerk chicken. The jerk chicken was sitting in a tray over hot water to keep warm. I had a feeling it wouldn't be good but I hoped I was wrong. I was right we bought a large jerk chicken with rice and oxtail gravy. The jerk chicken had no smokey flavor it was cold and wasn't cooked fully. The gravy on the oxtail tasted bad ad was salty. Needless to say we did not eat much of it and now we are sitting wondering where to go given that it is Christmas Eve and nothing is open. My advice to anyone who wants to go here is to wait until April to go when the main guy is back because that seems to be the only way to get good jerk chicken unless you want to try the other restaurants because Raps that do jerk also. Waste of my money and time. read more

Very good Jerk Chicken. If you're craving for a well seasoned jerk recipe or want a late night meal (these guys are open till 4 am), this is the perfect place to be. read more

Went out at 2:00 AM to this place, ended up getting some great chicken and at a reasonable price. Chicken was charcoal grilled and crispy while retaining enough moisture on the grill to remain juicy also doused in a very tasty sauce. Also tried the jamaican patty, which was also very good, was much more moist and properly seasoned allowing for the actual taste of the beef to come through. Main gripe is the neighbourhood surrounding the restaurant not being the most cozy, but that could have to do with going at 2 AM. read more

My boyfriend orders raps with uber eats to his workplace all the time, and they always deliver it fresh and hot with lots of oxtail gravy. The jerk chicken is delicious and the rice is good too. One of the best jerk places in Toronto!!! read more

I would have given it three stars up until my last visit, but I can't endorse a business that appears to have random incoherent people working the room. I've gone to the place on at least half a dozen occasions over the last few months, and have always ordered their smallest jerk chicken meal, which usually amounts to $7.50 plus taxes. Tonight the usual pleasant staff were nowhere to be seen, instead, a random dude who looked like he walked in off the street appeared out of the kitchen speaking nearly illegibly, with absolutely zero business acumen, wanting $4 more for the same small meal. Perhaps this is what they think is a clever business gimmick, as they suspicously don't write the prices of their smaller meals on their chalkboards, but it amounts nothing less than a sketchy business practice in the real world. Even on its good days the meal consists of almost nothing one would consider true "jerk chicken" in its seasoning and flavour, however the oxtail gravy and rice and peas are a bit better than those found at their multiple competitors in either direction along Eglinton. read more
