I don't feel like I'm exaggerating to say that the jerk chicken here is among the best chicken I've had in my life. Period. If I ask myself if I would enjoy chicken at a Michelin star restaurant more the answer is no. Get the hot sauce too. read more

First time being here. The Owner was super welcoming quick to give me a sample of his delicious chicken. And I bought was he was selling. Friendly service .. OFF THE HOOK CHICKEN. coleslaw was creamy and the rice had tons of gravy. This is my New Obession. read more

Finally stopped by for the lunch special - ordered the jerk chicken and it was amazing! Nothing was dry and perfect portions for lunch- no complaints - $6.99! read more

This little hole in the wall is located in a small plaza right beside the Howard Johnson Inn in Roncesvalles. There's limited parking out front shared with the other stores, but that shouldn't be a problem as Tdot Jerk is more of a takeout joint than anything. Inside the menu on the wall had quite a few items crossed out down to the typical jerk/pork/oxtail items, but I settled on the lunch special instead. For $6 you get a small container with some rice, jerk chicken, and a bottle of water. The rice was kind of mushy, but the chicken was tasty with just the right amount of spice. In all honesty the portion size was a little too small for my liking and I would've preferred the water to be replaced with slaw, but you get what you pay for I suppose. All in all a pretty standard Caribbean take-out place. read more

I liked the owner a lot. Great Jerk pork, I prefer a drier rice, this was more chinese style. Few parking spots in front. read more

$6 lunch specials--what's not to love? It is a simple and clean space for those wanting a quick meal. The special includes water or pop, jerk chicken on rice with a side slaw--the portion was great--not large but small The jerk chicken itself could be spicier but the tenderness was really really nice. Rice and beans was good and the portion of meat to rice was very good! The slaw was enough--not a slaw fan but I ate it B wished there was hot sauce on the side though... Otherwise I appreciated the value and the cleanliness of the place! The little shop is located in a little 'strip' city plaza with parking at the front, Ginger is a couple doors down and next it Ice Queen (a really old diner). It is located across a medical building which was convenient for those working or waiting on an appointment. It was definitely more of a takeout place as the two customers after me were picking up food. read more

Tdotjerk - Jerk chicken special on rice with side slaw, $6 - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The jerk chicken is definitely the way to go. Smokey jerk chicken. awesome. $11ish for a large takeout box portion. Enough for two meals if you're a light eater. One meal, if you're like me. Jerk pork and oxtail are not bad, but definitely the chicken over those. read more

They service was excellent. The curry chicken was pretty good but I've had better back home in Richmond Va USA. I saw other reviews that recommended the jerk but I had already ordered. Regardless the food was good and I'll be back. read more

Tdotjerk - Curry Chicken Dish - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So far I have tried the Jerk Pork (Large - $11). First note, it's clean and the guy behind the counter is very friendly. I normally go for the jerk chicken but today I went pork. When I ask about his favorite, the guy behind the counter starts getting excited (he's also the cook he says) it's all good but you'll like the pork. I did. It's got lots of flavour and very well spiced but mild on the spicy pepper. The prices are in line with other Jerk spots but the big takeaway is the big flavour. The rice (with beans) is moist and above all else the food tastes really fresh. A nice little shakeup of the west side Jerk scene. read more

Tdotjerk - Jerk pork, so good. - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fantastic jerk bbq chicken, rice & peas (beans). I've had a lot of jerk around the gta and this hangs with the best. Great smoke taste, really outstanding. Thanks again! PS get the large. The small was enough for a normal meal but now knowing how good it was, I wish I had as much as possible. read more

The jerk chicken is delicious and the owners are great, but the 1/4 chicken portions are tiny. Their chickens are closer in size to pigeons. If you're hungry be sure to double your order. read more

Hello guys, I've read a lot of the reviews here. Maybe I'm from another planet because I swear these people must be high. So I tried the food here today because it's the only restaurant of this kind in the area. First of all, the website says the place opens at 11AM, WRONG FAKE NEWS!! Nobody in sight at this time. So I figured I'd call around 1230PM. After calling 22 times someone actually picked up. I asked if they have jerk chicken, answer was YES. I asked for jerk chicken and rice & peas, the reply was rice isn't ready. So went to the store and had to wait an extra 20 minutes for the rice. On top of that the prices have been changed manually higher by $5. Which was another turn down. Nevertheless I won't be here ever again. Food was not that great either . read more

I have tried this place three different times, each time hoping it was just a one-off situation. The last time, we ordered curried goat rotis. We went to pick them up. Person behind counter didn't know about order and just said "Junior isn't here". After quite a while the order was ready but not very hot and very very greasy with no hot sauce. I was so happy to see a Carribean joint in the good but am so disappointed. Three strikes and you're out! read more

I've been to a lot of Caribean take out places in Toronto, Akeem and Junior make the best jerk chicken I've had, by far. Highly recommended. They use a smoker to make their jerk - they don't bake. That's the real way to make jerk. Ask them, they'll tell you :) read more

Best Jerk Chicken I've ever had. Awesome value. Clean and friendly place. Lots of interesting things to try on the menu. read more

This is a new mom-and-pop fixture on the Roncesvalle strip right next to Ice queen the previous low ratings caused me to stall on my visit. I was pleasantly surprised. The lady working at the counter is so nice. Both jerk chicken and curry chicken are good picks. The chicken is tender and you can ask for to be made spicy. Service is ultra fast too. While I've had some better Caribbean this is not bad at all. The only thing that's making it a four star is the fact that the best jerk I've had would have been cooked so much the tender chicken was falling off the bone and the flavor had completely penetrated the meat, whereas sometimes this place has very well flavored meat on the outside and the inside can be under-flavored. read more

Two stars for cleanliness and friendliness. I almost never give negative reviews, however... This was definitely the least flavourful, non descript, Jamaican food I've ever had. Jerk chicken had not a single ounce of flavour, I've had boiled soup chicken with more flavour. The curry goat was the same, lacked any fire, depth of flavour, tasted like goat and uncooked curry powder. Rice and peas also very bland and over cooked, almost no beans to be found... I really wanted to like the place, again, nice guy, very clean, but the food was sooooooooooooo poor! From the other reviews, this seems like an off night read more

Have ordered here and picked-up, and it has always been wonderful. Great little spot for jerk locally. Good for delivery or take-out. Food is delicious and freshly made. If you request spicy they do it very well. Flavourful spicy, not just blind heat. The more of their gravy, the better. Rice is fresh and full of flavour, and the meat falls off the bone as it should. The staff and family who work there are really nice, and it has a great mom-and-pop feel. Love supporting a new local spot. Highly recommend. Delivery is inexpensive and the minimum order price makes it easy to order from one. Welcome to Roncesvalles guys! Very glad to have you. read more

Awesome goat curry! I asked the owner if I should get the jerk chicken or the goat curry and he said definitely the goat, he's such a sweet man. It tastes homemade so if you're used to the charred black MSG-filled greasy kinds then you'd better stick with other establishments. The only miss was not enough coleslaw! It's bomb, refreshes your palette in a jiffy. Will try the oxtail next time! read more

I got the large jerk chicken. The rice was sticky and soggy? Is this sticky rice or Jamaican rice and peas ? Because they had me fooled. The coleslaw was very acidic and sour. It did not taste very good. I paid 13$ for that. Not worth the money. The chicken was Medicore nothing special. I should have gotten a refund. read more

Amazing jerk pork and chicken - the chicken is my fave in the city and I've tried them all. $6 lunch special is a steal. Curry goat is excellent as well. riceis only OKAY. read more

This place is amazing !! Delicious food for an unbeatable price. I'd have it every day if I could !!!! Love it ! read more

amazing food, amazing service! the lunch special is a great deal and the food quality is consistent!

My colleagues and I who work at St Joes love having this place around the corner. $6 lunch special is the best value in town. The jerk chicken is so tasty. You can taste the love he puts into it and it warms your heart! read more

Excellent. We had our food delivered, it was fast and arrived when promised. This is authentic Caribbean jerk - slow simmered, rich, depth of flavour jerk! (not the blow your head off, pepper hot, taste nothing because your taste buds have been scorched jerk - don't misunderstand on occasion this can be good too!) The spice is right here, all the way down to the whole pimentos, you can taste the whole day process that went into this food - honestly, I think this is the only place in the city that actually has it right! We were back in Granny's kitchen in St.Kitts last night! read more

The jerk chicken here is fantastic and the price is unbeatable for this area as is the quality. The lunch special is $6 and includes a good portion of chicken and coleslaw. The owner is a really nice guy! This has become one of my go to spots on Roncesvalles. read more

You haven't had jerk until you've had it smoked on the spot. Chicken and pork. Incredibly delicious. The sides aren't as special, otherwise I'd give it a 5. read more

Good curry goat and jerk chicken. Not special, but the only Caribbean joint on Roncy, so it is a welcome establishment.

I had the small jerk chicken- chicken was moist and flavourful, rice was addictive and the portion was big enough for dinner and lunch the next day. The owner(?) and cook was super friendly. The place isn't much for décor but the experience and food were really good! read more

great place!, very tender chicken, not over-cooked and plenty tasty. Can you get extra sauce? maybe. Clean place, sweet people run the place. Nice $6 lunch special, still on I believe. Support this local biz! read more

Delicious chicken, tender and full of flavour. Really nice people. The hot sauce is amazing. I wish there was more on offer in terms of sides but the rice and beans are delicious anways! Will definitely return again. read more

My husband and I are SOOOO happy we found a local Caribbean spot that is this good. My husband has the chicken curry and I had the jerk chicken. The restaurant is clean and bright, the owner/chef is incredibly friendly and courteous, and the total service time was perfect. We had a great experience and plan to be frequent patrons of Tdot Jerk! As we were leaving with our take out, the chef guaranteed it would be the best Caribbean food we've ever tried. That's a tough promise to make, but he was right!! We love daddy's cooking, too!! read more

A truly horrendous experience. The food was over an hour and a half late and I began feeling like I was going to die at the one hour mark. I called the restaurant and the person who answered said the driver had already left and had forgotten her phone. HOW CONVENIENT! She arrived ten minutes later looking like she wasn't almost two hours late, made no mention of her tardiness, and the bill had a gratuity built in. Are you joking? Finally, with food in house, I dug in. Abysmal. Worse than abysmal, actually. It was unequivocally the worst thing that's ever attempted to be food that I've ever paid for. In summary, I am a sadder man for having eaten this food. Let me be a martyr. read more
