The Jerk Spot

I stopped by this spot on a whim for a quick bite. I ordered the oxtail roti, I’ve had oxtail stew before from another establishment but it was my first time eating it in a roti. The stew itself was ok lukewarm at best, salty but lacked flavour, found some bone pieces, tender meat but the potatoes was the highlight of this dish for me. The roti was not what I expected… it was dry and hard, and powder? between layers that was unpleasant. Even though the roti was shared with another person we didn’t finish it. For $20 I wished I was more satisfied with my meal.

Absolute garbage. I wouldn't serve this to a dog. This is supposed to be fried chicken, which was clearly OLD and nasty. And the other pic is supposed to be coleslaw which is watered down. Extremely overpriced. Someone get the health inspector in here immediately!!! Should be shut down. I'm embarrassed for them.

You can't serve this to people or sign up to Too Good to Go and sell it end of day. This is a shame. No stars Had jerk chicken special. Read also several reviews posted earlier and it's exactly that. Small portions, pureed coleslaw more like soup in small container, chicken piece was dry and charred on top and definitely not made that day. I love Jamaican food and you get better quality going to little Jamaica along Eglinton. Vegetarian options: Ask the staff for availability that day Kid-friendliness: It's a take out counter. You can take children inside the store. Parking: Street Wheelchair accessibility: No. A shop front Dietary restrictions: Ask the staff

Get lunch chef special 9.50 Stew beef. The meat is so tender and portion is generous.

We live far from downtown T.O but every time we get a chance to stop by and get jerk chicken at this place my family and I do, a few times we have driven downtown just to get the jerk chicken. We get the rice and jerk chicken breast we love it, the taste the portions and yes prices have gone up but with inflation nowadays it's understandable. This is our favourite place and it's been for almost 20 years and as long as the taste doesn't change we'll keep on stopping by to eat our favourite jerk chicken breast and rice and peas.

Randomly stopped by to The Jerk Spot to grab some quick meal. Was extremely surprised, the food was delicious! We’ve got the chef’s special, a very savory beef curry with rice and beans. Definitely recommend!

10/10 so good i got jerk chicken and oxtail, so flavourful and juicy. Definitely worth it. Very nice staff as well.

The restaurant is located at the beginning of Kensington market, which is a great location. We tried three items from the menu: the ox tale, saltfish and the jerk chicken. The jerk chicken was average, the saltfish was ok, and the ox tale was good. I will go back again and try items on the menu.

Wife and I were drawn in by the very good price advertised for the daily specials. The Roti Jerk Chicken was very good, reasonably spicy with a plentiful amount of chicken inside; GREAT! The curry chicken was just OK, a bit bland flavor wise, but still decent for the money. Worth the visit.

They have one of the best Jamaican patty in Toronto. The ladies behind the counter are so friendly and welcoming. Must checkout for other Jamaican hot foods.
