Irie Foods - Edmonton, Alberta

Went there for fried chicken on Friday last week… not only was it highly overpriced… the chicken itself had no seasoning and it looked like it was fried in dirty/old oil. Dumplings were dry and oily. This place used to be good back in the day but I don’t know ... what happened. Might be time for a new chef. When people have a bad experience once, they don’t usually return a second time.

My go-to place for jamaican oxtail and jerk chicken. Been going here the past 6 years. Jerk chicken wednesdays deal is awesome too.

Response: Hello, To further answer your question as per my review. I order two large oxtails, 2 patties and 2 sodas. I understand that you may be the longest run Jamaican food store in Edmonton, just because you have a monopoly over the industry doesn’t equate to you doing a good job. ... The real question is are you and your staff passionate about the work you’re doing because the food does not reflect any passion, care or love. Jamaican cuisine is born from taking something undesirable and turning it into a delicacy. The food from this establishment tasty like a slap in the face to the entire culture. Let’s discuss the food it’s self, the patties were over baked, dry and burnt a very unusual combination. The oxtail meat was extremely tough, the favour didn’t have enough time to saturate into the meat, tough, boney and no favour another unique combination I’ve only experienced at your establishment. The rice and peas were very dry and over cooked, also something new I got to experience at your long standing restaurant. The dumpling being overly oily and dry and tough all at the same time, was just disgusting to be honest. The slap dash store bought lettuce shreds with the store bought dressing was the only thing edible on the plate. The drinks were delicious but you can’t take any credit for that. And to make matters even worse I spent a wapping $64.73 I’m from Toronto, my family is Jamaican. Don’t piss on my head and tell me it’s raining. Initial post: These people should be ashamed to call themselves Jamaican. If you enjoy throwing your money away defo come here. I will not be. The prices are insane the food is a glorified dog food.

The amount of meat in this so called patty is pathetic. Two patty cost $7 better off eating two slice of bread with cheese.

My goodness! It’s been over three years now I moved away from Alberta, Edmonton & I recently came back to visit family & to do a live performance show & I had to stop in and see if the hype was still solid & boi, yo haffi try this yourself & ... let the magic take over. Food is still amazing, staff is still always nice af & location is prime for southside but there won’t be any complains one you eating. You may forgot how far you’ve traveled to get this🚨🙏🏾 Read more
