Having read and heard word of mouth reviews of this place I went to check it out. First impression was that pricing is less than most stand alone shops offering Jamaican inspired food. I ordered three dishes: their jerk chicken poutine, oxtail on rice and peas, jerk chicken on rice and peas. First thoughts when trying all three was that the food is more an "American" take on Jamaican food. The sauce/gravy used in the meals is more akin to American beef gravy vs. Oxtail or stew chicken gravy used in more traditional shops in Scarborough. All dishes were a bit heavy on the gravy. I would certainly ask for half the amount they put. The rice is more of a sweet soy sauce rice with kidney beans. It doesn't have the coconut, thyme or pepper flavour of "rice and peas". The poutine that most raved about was not my favourite. It was an abundant amount, but it lacked the depth of flavour that one would expect in something labeled "jerk". I think the popular reviews of the poutine come from those that grew up eating this at lunch or after school and to them it brings a sort of nostalgia of their younger years. Its cheap and filling enough that students on a budget can buy and share. I would pass if you're looking for the best jerk chicken poutine in Scarborough. The jerk chicken meal was also missing that depth of flavour of authentic jerk. It did not come with any side; coleslaw, pickled veggies or salad that helps balance this type of meal. But like the poutine there is value for money in that it is a lot of food at a price you pay. The better of the three is the oxtail. Although it was also a bit heavy on the gravy, the rich, tender flavour of the oxtail meat makes this dish. At $13.99 for a medium which is as big as a large oxtail in most places, this is a bargain. Most places charge at least $18 for oxtail meal of this size. While it's not the best oxtail meal I've tried, it certainly hits the spot without hitting your wallet. Overall staff was very friendly. I would come back to order the oxtail if I was craving it and was on a budget. It's a place to get full on a budget. The line of students ordering from this place reinforces this thought.

Braised Oxtail

I’m writing this review because I have to share with everyone that my wife and I received food poisoning here. First impression was that the fries in the jerk chicken poutine tasted like “day old fries” like they made a whole batch overnight and were reheating starchy old fries with no crisp. Secondly the chicken that was shredded just tasted “hard” around the edges like it was made and shredded in large batch for days. I also had a jerk chicken rice platter and the texture of the chicken was that of made many days ago. The sauce does not penetrate at all. Food poisoning! I felt unsettled and had to lay down. I usually have a strong stomach and nothing knocks me down but a few hours after eating just hit me. My wife vomited on the shower and kept vomiting overnight. This is too bad because we had a good experience before but this time one time and only time will be our last. I added two stars for service because the servers are just doing their job.

I tried several poutines around Toronto and none of them were as good as this. The fries were not hard and stalky. The flavors of the gravy, cheese and jerk chicken were amazing. I got the small poutine for just $5. The Oxtails shocked me!!! The best I have ate so far and a good portion for a medium. The oxtail has the sweet flavor and falls off the bone. I live in the USA and would drive the 8 hours just to have their food again.

Jerk Chicken Poutine, Braised Oxtail

By far one of my favourite spots in the GTA that is the most consistent and most flavourful across-the-board. This place always has returning customers because of the consistency of their food. They are notorious for a well-crafted delicious poutine which comes with perfect jerk chicken. I’ve been coming to this location for more than 10 years straight, and they’ve never done me wrong. I have nothing but good things to say about this location/store. If you’re looking for a delicious jerk chicken poutine For around seven dollars this is a spot for you! You will for sure be filled up and saitisfied.

Tried this place out because it's been so highly talked about, especially for their jerk chicken poutine. Got a large spicy poutine; the flavour of the gravy is good and the fries are crispy, but everything else is lacking a bit. I will say the prices are decent but you do not get a good amount or quality of meat. As well, the cheese is not the hoped for cheese curds. Overall: 3/5

Jerk Chicken Poutine

Got the small jerk chicken poutine for $5 bucks which is a popular thing to get at this spot. They will ask if you want spicy or mild. The spicy does carry a decent kick and the poutine overall is quite filling.

Jerk Chicken Poutine

The jerk poutine isn't bad, but it isn't as amazing as I've heard about. Fries are very crispy, cheese curds were melted and gravy was hot.

Jerk Chicken Poutine

The curry chicken in GTA is the best I've ever seen at such an affordable price. The founders clearly recognize the value of food, allowing them to offer a larger quantity of chicken compared to rice. Blessings to all!
