    Ordered pickup for dinner from this spot which I have been craving for quite a while. Got the jerk chicken bowl and oxtail bowl, both with Scotty Rice and all the toppings. The pickup experience was super smooth, as my order was just packed when I came in! The inside has some tables for dine in though I took it to go. The bowls were hefty and delicious. For the chicken, we got the half jerk half BBQ option, and I liked the jerk chicken which had a kick of spice. As it has been said, this spot is along Highway 7 so it might be a little more difficult during peak hours to get in and out.

    Oxtail Bowl

    Drove past this place many times and it always caught my eye because it looks so new/clean and brightly lit! Finally got around to trying it and it did not disappoint. The inside is very clean & spacious. I liked the colourful mural with neon lights. The menu isn't too big but that's a good thing for someone indecisive like me. It is displayed on screens behind the counter but the screens do change a little fast. Staff were friendly and since it wasn't busy when we went, it was very quick. The portions are generous and the value meals are well priced. The food is very flavourful though I wasn't a fan of the rice. The oxtail was decent but a little on the sweet side. My jerk chicken was soft. Not juicy but not dry as stated in other reviews. I would definitely give it another try. The parking situation isn't the best as there are only a handful of spots and it's directly on Hwy 7.

    I want to really like this place. It's got a gorgeous dining environment and friendly staff. Ordered jerk chicken sandwich. The toppings and ingredients were excellent and flavourful but I admit I was slightly disappointed when you see their online photos it looks like a panini sandwich in a very large size but really it's a white hamburger bun and the sandwich is pressed flat on a panini grill. I'd rather have it on coco bread. Nothing fancy at all. Kind of like what you do when you're a kid. The jerk chicken was dry with no moisture. Spices were good. 3-stars is my vote. I'm going to give this place another try.

    came here for lunch and got the jerk chicken bowl ($14.45). Overall, found it a great deal. The food was pretty good with a large selection of toppings and the portion sizes are huge! Probably enough for two people even. Enjoyed it and wouldn't mind coming back.

    I'm always down to try new Caribbean food, and this place did not disappoint! It's a pretty small menu so you're not overwhelmed with options. What makes this different than typical takeout Caribbean shops is the bowl option. You pick your protein and rice, and then have many other toppings to add. I opted for no toppings because I wanted to focus on the curry goat and rice flavours. The curry was the perfect spice level, and the goat was nice and tender, but the rice was the true star of the show for me. I highly recommend getting both rice flavours (no extra cost) because they complement each other so well. The portion sizes are massive as well, perfect to carry over to a second meal or share with a friend! The decor and layout is so beautiful too, and there's some seating to enjoy your meal there after you order it at the counter. Parking is minimal and hard to access with the busy Hwy 7 right there, but Scotty Bons is worth the effort to get there!

    Clean and bright location that opens late. Quite nice decor on the inside, but only a couple of tables means its mainly a takeout joint. Jerk Chicken Sandwich - Pretty cheap for a good sized sando. Your choice of toppings, 4 pieces of boneless chicken and then toasted on a panini grill. Boneless was a good choice on a sando, the bread was a bit lackluster and felt a bit dry. Ox tail roti - Pretty big portions, but a bit hard to eat a roti with proteins with bones. Luckily, its not wrapped =). Oxtail was pretty good, but felt a bit cold, maybe because it was near end of day.

    First visit to Scotty Bons did not disappoint! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share amongst a group of 7, family style - sandwiches, jerk chicken wings, jerk chicken, BBQ chicken, coleslaw, and rice & beans. The sandwiches were juicy & so satisfying, but I have to say, the jerk chicken wings and thighs really stood out for me. Incredibly well seasoned, moist, and it paired so well with the coleslaw, rice & beans, and mango chutney. The only thing is that they can sell out by end of day, so you might want to order in a bit in advance for larger orders. The parking situation at this location also isn't the greatest, but I think it's still worth the visit (just avoid rush hour when Hwy 7 is jam packed).

    2.5 STARS Noticed Scotty bons is finally open, after weeks of waiting. Got two orders to go; jerk chicken and bbq chicken. It came with a side of cabbage coleslaw, skinless chicken thigh jerk/bbq chicken, rice and peas and a bit of sautéed bell peppers. First bite of the jerk, super dry chicken thighs. I never knew you can over cook chicken thighs to that point, and where's the skin? The jerk marinade was light and a bit spicy at the end, could use bit more jerk seasoning for the chicken to absorb more flavour. Rice and peas were a tad bit mushy, but flavour was good, I can really taste the coconut milk. Best thing on the dish was the coleslaw; had the right amount of creaminess, sweetness and salt. . Same thing goes for the bbq chicken. It was sadly very dry. I'm pretty sure whoever is cooking in the back is not Jamaican, cause they would never overcook chicken (thighs) like this. I'm a little appalled actually. I think Scotty bons is not an authentic Caribbean joint for those seeking for flavour, punch and authenticity. I will not be back, even though it's super close to me, I'd rather drive out 15 more minutes to get the real deal.

    Jerk Chicken Bowl

    I saw people posting about a BOGO via DoorDash so I took advantage of it as It was my first time having Scotty Bons. I got the jerk chicken bowl and even though I got mild, it had a nice kick to it. My chicken wasn't as dry as the other reviewers have mentioned but my rice was a tad mushy. Not sure if that was my fault though cause I did ask for a few of their sauces. Portion size is decent. I like the variety of options like the corn, cold slaw, etc making it very customizable. One bowl had 3 pieces of chicken while the other had only 2...not sure what's up with that lol

    Jerk chicken with rice! You could get it with rice or roti. good portion size. The chicken was boneless, a bit dry and needed some more sauce. Not too into there spices , don't got that jer feeling Sides are good and the spiciness has a good kick! They do have other options as well curry goat, jerk shrimp, oxtail etc Space pretty spacious. more of takeout. Staff are ok.

    Really enjoyed the jerk chicken bowl and jerk chicken sandwich. The curry chicken bowl was also good but not as impressive as their jerk items. I ordered through ubereats so cannot comment on their service.

    Love the vibe . Caribean cousine to the max

    Friendly service and simple delicious sandwiches make this place a go to…read more Ted makes really fresh, quality sandwiches. The kaiser bun is so soft, the meat is freshly sliced then stacked high, options of mustard, cheeses, lettuce and tomato. It is quite the exercise for old jaw to unhinge to its max to make way for enjoyment of his meat combos. His famous Roast Beef is cooked to a rare-medium, not well done like at the supermarket. I would have preferred a horseradish Mayo instead of the mustard, maybe you can ask if that's an option on your next visit. The Fight Club is an assortment of meats, and for $8.50 it's a great deal. Now these are not Foodie sandwiches, nothing extra unique to be discovered, it's just fresh, quality and made with a smile for you. They also sell frozen meals and soups to go. I have a heavy tray of Eggplant Parm in the freezer, will comment on that after it's gets baked. I'm ordering a sandwich platter for a potluck, he makes the traditional sliced bread, deli meat triangles or sliders from his wall menu(these are $3.50 each).

Super homey feeling and the blackboard styled menu was cool. Owner seemed nice as well. For my order I got takeout on the Friday special - Hot roast beef sandwich ($8) and a chicken samosa ($2). I think I enjoyed the sandwich a decent bit. Definitely fair priced and came with lettuce, onions, and cheese. However, the sandwich was super greasy and when we ordered, he just microwaved it lol. At least subway will put it in an oven. The samosa was pretty tasty though. Overall, I think my experience lacked a bit but maybe their cold roast beef is better (but it also wasn't available when I went). 3.5/5 stars.

First off - the food in the menu photographs beautifully. The menu looks SO appetizing! I got the vegetarian grilled panini and it was huge!! It also came with a soup (two options, I got the tomato and sweet potato), so at $14 it was a great value. My colleague got a steak and smoked cheese panini which looked incredible as well, and the toppings and sandwiches were just SO fresh. They don't skimp out on the good stuff either, lots of tasty goat cheese on my sandwich...I'm drooling just remembering it! There is a seating area so you can dine in, or take your food to go. The service was friendly and efficient, you can tell they care about the food they're preparing. One thing I will mention - it's MESSY! Make sure you get napkins!

    Wowowow I'm so impressed…read more Lambo's Deli does sandwiches right. The moment I got my sandwich, I knew. From of the nostalgic paper bag. A sandwich that's packed TIGHT is packed right. No mess, no stress. That is serious business. The best part is, the ingredients taste so FRESH. As we were waiting, the friendly staff offered everyone free ice cream samples. It was 25°C sunny so it was much needed. No one refused! They're testing out flavours, so I think we will expect to see soft-serve ice cream on their menu in the near future! I got the Caprese sandwich and the fresh mozzarella was so refreshing! Geniusly, there was a layer of breadcrumbs added to my sandwich, which I found very humorous... b/c really? A bread byproduct inside of a sandwich? That was a first for me. But y'know what, the crunch element over the mozzarella was a really good pairing and it works! Also, the pesto was so fresh and good.. that I had pesto on my mind the next day and I just had to find something pesto for lunch again, the influence! Honestly, we did not have the intention of visiting Lambo's that day. We had walked past it on the way to another restaurant, but I remember this corner store with bold modern-80's decor caught my eye. After our original plans fell through, we stumbled back to this street corner which turned out to be a fantastic accident because we wound up loving Lambo's so much, we swore to come back to try the rest of their sandwiches!

This small shop located in Leslieville serves up some great sandwiches in a space that is primarily take out only (although there are a few bar/counter spots if you'd like to eat there. They are also open daily from 11am to 9pm. Menu wise, there are 9-10 kinds of sandwiches to choose from. They are all served on a sesame kaiser roll and cut in half. You're also able to add on ingredients on top of the already selected ones in the sandwiches. Each of Lambo's Deli locations also have a special sandwich, where this time when I went, it was the crispy chicken club. They also have soft serve as well (rotating flavours!). I stopped by Lambo's Deli on a Monday morning before the lunch rush and opted to grab: - Italian trio sandwich (soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, picked red onion, arugula, pesto, Calabrian chili spread) - $18 - Soft serve (flavour was hojicha) -$5 Service was friendly and I received my soft serve while waiting for my sandwich to be prepared. It took about 5 min and it was nicely packed. Staff were great and handed me a handful of napkins as well. I ate my sandwich an hour later and before opening the packaging, the sandwich was pretty heavy! Looking at a cross section of the sandwich, it was packed with ingredients! The Italian Trio sandwich was delicious. The roasted red peppers, pickled red onion, arugula, and Calabrian chili spread added freshness to the sandwich which didn't make it feel so heavy with all the deli meats inside as well as the mozzarella cheese. The sandwiches are big and I could only finish half for lunch. Overall, a delicious sandwich shop in Leslieville. Lambo's Deli definitely packs a lot of ingredients in their sandwiches which make for a tasty meal. Be warned, the sandwiches are huge! Also...don't miss out on their soft serve too!
