Tried this place on a whim, just had a craving for jerk chicken and didn't want to drive for it, this was the first thing that popped up, and I remember seeing this from driving by it "all the time" The first time I had this ordered to my place, the food's scent absolutely permeated once we got the items out of the bag, the flavors were even better. this food brought me back to my childhood and all of the summer bbq's growing up with friends from multiple islands. One time I came in here in person, to grab some food, and the service was top notch, but ordering in person had a bit more options which lead to me looking like an idiot ordering the same thing I did through skip. The hot sauce is absolutely perfect as well, please bottle this and sell it Seperately. There's next to no sitting area here, and with this tight plaza of 11 business' you would be best to grab the food and go. I have no photos, even though I say the phone eats first, once the smell hits my nose, it's game over. no photos, no witness'(lol) Absolutely one of my favorite spots now for food, slowly climbing into my personal top 10 in Toronto, please don't change anything with the food, everything is perfect.

Located just north of Shepard Ave. E on Brimley Rd, there is only one entry point to this place. It…read moreis just across the street from St. Bartholomew Church, Sir Alexander Mackenzie Sr. Public School, and Agincourt Collegiate Institute, so this would be a great lunch spots for church service, students, and locals. I was introduced to this place by one of my now ex-coworkers, who would often praised about the food here and I now know that I have been seriously missing out on some really good Caribbean food! Best stewed fish I have ever had for takeout! For only $16.99 you get an entire fish with head and tail, fully seasoned with rice, peas, and a medley of vegetables on the side. You must order at least 2 hours in advance by phone or online, but the wait was definitely worth it! The food here is sizeable, tasty, and super filling! It took me 2 sittings in order to completely finish everything, properly. It was incredibly satisfying and now it is my new local spot for stewed fish! It was a bit spicy, but I rather eat something that has a full body flavour than something milder but dry and bland. The sauce that the fish was stewed in made it so tender, aromatic and moist!! Highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to go back and order takeout for my beau as well!!

A fellow foodie recommended Jerkup Central and I had never heard of it before so I had to…read moreinvestigate. They are located in a small industrial plaza on Brimley, north of Sheppard. They have seating for less than 20 diners, with most of their business being takeout and catering. Looking past the service counter reveals a huge kitchen plus another area where they smoke the foods. The back of house space looks to be easily four to five times large than the front of house. What makes this place different from most Jamaican/Caribbean restaurants is their claim to offer healthier choices. To support this claim, they make all their own seasonings, with a lower salt content and all natural ingredients. Their marinades are bottled and available for purchase at the counter. They use chickens that are grain fed and locally grown. Their daily menu offers Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, BBQ Chicken, Stew Chicken, Curry Chicken, and Fish. The fish has to be ordered two hours in advance. Weekly specials include a different soup every day, Curry Goat on Wednesdays, Cow Foot on Thursdays, and Oxtail on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only. My companion and I ordered small plates of Jerk Pork, Oxtail, and Stew Chicken in order to sample a few dishes. They were all served with Rice & Peas and a Veggie Medley (steamed). Our plates arrived with generous portions of rice & peas and veggies and a decent amount of proteins (for small orders). The jerk pork looked good, with a nice smoke ring around the edges. It tasted okay but it was dry and the seasoning hadn't penetrated the meat as much as the smoke. They probably used a leaner, "healthier" cut of meat instead of a more marbled (fattier) cut. Some gravy would have probably improved this dish (for me). The stew chicken, with an ample amount of gravy, was also okay and appeared to be all skinless dark meat. The oxtail was our favourite dish. It was the most flavourful of the three and tender enough to come off the bone easily. Overall, I admire their efforts to offer healthier cooking but I would have to describe the taste as average. I've had better and I've had worse but I don't know if I've had healthier (from a Caribbean restaurant). The service was friendly.

There is undoubtedly something for everyone among the countless alternatives. I choose to eat the chicken curry over rice with mango chutney, pickled peppers, and cold slaw on the side. Not to mention the sparkling grapefruit ting! The chicken was so flavorful and spicy that it was sliding off the bone. Other selections were barbecue chicken, jerk chicken, oxtail, and more! The beef patty I had when I returned a second time during my stay was excellent; it was flavorful and flakey. For the price, the portions are decent, and I had a ton of leftovers!

It sounded the most interesting and I…read morewas expecting to be blown away or for it to look like some of the cheeseburger photos posted online. It looked nothing like the cheeseburger from Burger Factory that's posted online. The patty was not even thick at all! I received a thin patty which contained cheese but I had to get to the center of the burger to get a bit of cheese oozing out. The rest of the patty was essentially a Mc D caliber patty. If you look at the pic I posted, the meat to bun ratio was also totally off. The bun was bigger than the meat so I had bites where I was literally just eating thick bread and veggies. The cheeseburger photos show big chunky meat patties so I'm wondering if I got an employee who didn't really know what he was doing? I opted for a combo and got mac n' cheese bites as my side. These were exceptionally disappointing. I'm no mac expert but I'd be willing to bet a dollar that they use Kraft dinner in these mac n' cheese bites. Overly salty, overly processed. No dipping sauce, just came with two ketchup packets on the side. For a meal that hit me for over $20 I truly felt ripped off. This combo was NOT worth $20+. I had a double Shack burger from Shake Shack literally a week prior to eating here and that burger was MILES better and way more "gourmet" tasting than this one.

Asked the…read moreguy at the register what people usually get and they said a lot of people try the Juicy Lucy as it's very cheesy and melts in your mouth. Seemed a little too adventurous for me so I went with their promo at the time which was 2 cheeseburgers and fries for (i think $15). Burgers were 5oz each so you can imagine how full I was. Very nicely cooked, they use a really good quality sesame bun which I think makes a big difference when you bite into the burger. Good toppings and the fries were nice and lite. Not too oily and salty as other places are. A great deal that is probably not around anymore haha. Shoutout to Matthew there for hooking us up with some free ice cream too as they were just about to close.

This was my first time stepping into a Dave's Hot Chicken. I originally came in specifically to try…read moretheir viral cheese sticks, but unfortunately, they were out for the day. While I was super disappointed at first and almost walked out, I figured since I was already there, I'd finally give their chicken a shot. I ordered the #1 combo: two tenders, fries, sliced bread, Dave's sauce, pickles, and a drink. At roughly $25 to $27, the price felt pretty steep for a takeout tender combo. I know Drake is backed as an investor here, so maybe that plays into the pricing, but it definitely felt expensive. That said, the portions are solid. The tenders were large, super juicy, and well cooked. The Medium heat level was spot on for what I wanted and it gave a nice light kick without being overly spicy. Honestly, the fries were my absolute favorite part of the meal! They were crispy, super tasty, and perfectly seasoned. The Dave's sauce was good, though a pretty familiar flavor profile if you've had similar chicken joints. The pickles added a nice crunch. My only critique on the side is the bread... getting plain white bread slices feels like a missed opportunity. If they toasted it into Texas toast, it would take the meal to another level. The fountain drink size included in the combo felt surprisingly small, especially for a takeout order. The Leslieville location itself is fantastic. The exterior design really catches your eye from the street, and the inside is spacious with two levels. I especially loved the neighborhood-specific touches, like the custom "Leslieville" graffiti art on the wall... it gives the space a great local personality. Service was friendly. Is it a bit too pricey to become a regular spot? Yeah, probably. But the quality and juiciness of the chicken are definitely there. I'll be back down the road but only to finally get my hands on those cheese sticks (and maybe a milkshake next time!).

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and I can see why there's so much hype…read more We came for a very late lunch, but the restaurant was still quite busy. We ordered Dave's #1 (2 tenders) and weren't sure how spicy to go, so we got one Medium and one Mild just to be safe. After trying them, I think we could definitely handle a hotter spice level next time. The chicken tenders were big and came served on a slice of bread, which made the meal surprisingly filling. The chicken itself was flavourful, incredibly crispy without being greasy or heavy, and still juicy inside. The fries were also really good, and the Dave's Sauce was delicious. We ended up using every last bit of it on both the chicken and the fries. The restaurant was bright and clean, and I noticed an employee regularly wiping down tables, which I appreciated. My only complaint is the price. The two-tender meal with fries is $18.99, and drinks are an additional $2.99. It looks like a combo, but it doesn't actually include a drink, so the total adds up. Overall, a solid quick meal!
