Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen

The food was absolutely delicious but the portion size is outrageous. To me hearty food like Jamaican food is best enjoyed in bigger portions but this restaurant serves the opposite. A $20+ item will be a few bites of food. I think if money isn’t a factor the food is definitely top notch but if you want value I’d recommend elsewhere.nnFor the food I’d definitely recommend the salt fish Mac, jerk chicken wings, and best of all their rum bread pudding. The rum bread pudding was by far the highlight of my lunch.

I was excited to share this review because, even after four years, my boyfriend and I still fondly remember how wonderful this restaurant was. Reflecting on those moments inspired me to share our experience.nUpon our arrival, we were greeted with warmth by an elderly couple who had just completed their meal and were eager to share their experience with us. The host greeted us with a delightful dance, offering the warmest welcome I have ever encountered.nThe waitress was exceptionally kind and attentive, even taking a selfie with us, which added a personal touch to our visit.nThe food was outstanding; I can still savor the remarkable flavors even after four years.nThis restaurant is truly a hidden gem, and it will always be a must-visit destination whenever we return to Canada. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Had a nice time dining at Chubby's this evening. We walked in on a weeknight and were promptly seated. Our server Zach was attentive and friendly. His food recommendations did not disappoint. We shared the medium jerk chicken it came with slaw and the pan seared snapper that came on a bed of sweet potatoes and greens in a rich coconut sauce. The fried plantains are a must have on the side to sop up the lingering sauces. Would return.

I had a good time at this restaurant. My friends chose to sit outside on the patio. This wasn’t my favorite but there were heaters there so that made it better. When you go inside tho, that is where the good impressions are made. This two story homey vibe with lots of seating in the back yard is super cute. The decor, the lights, and the plants create an amazing ambience. For a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty busy with a blended scene. The staff were professional and efficient. I could see why this business is doing well here and I think they are doing a lot of things right.nnThe food in my opinion was just okay. The meals were plated like sides so that was different. However the food was tasty and I was satisfied after the meal. The food did what it needed to do. The rice and peas could use more flavor and the curry shrimp was spicy but the plantains were PERFECTION. So I think the food would be subjective depending on what you like and are used to.nnOverall I would recommend this place. Im glad we came here. You should definitely try it for yourself at least ONCE. It’s a vibe and I think it would add value to your Toronto experience.

We had a great time dining in for dinner at Chubby’s. The music, atmosphere and hospitality were incredible. Our server, Nadia, was amazing! She recommended popular dishes which was helpful and she had a very kind/energetic personality that made the dining experience fun! Looking forward to returning again in the future.
