Jerk King - Toronto, Ontario

Jerk King has the best Jamaican Patty I have ever had in my life. I have yet to try the other dishes here, but if the patty is any indication, the food is surely some of the best Jamaican food in the city. The patty is flaky, buttery, and soft. ... Its filling is flavourful, the meat is tender and juicy and brings the whole thing together with just the right amount of spice. The service is wonderful and I had a great experience talking to the woman behind the counter, she even served me the fresh batch of patties late at night alongside a fun conversation. I definitely recommend coming here, but there is limited seating as it is more of a takeout experience. Read more

Amazing jerk chicken!! Portions are really generous and food is really tasty. Love that they’re open late, and workers are really kind & efficient. (photo: medium sized jerk chicken with spicy gravy)

This is a chain restaurant and I always go to the Spadina and College location, I thought this location would have similar quality food but I was so wrong. The service was good since the kid worked there was nice, but the bean and rice were half cooked as in ... every single bite, there will be a few grains of uncooked rice; the BBQ chicken were burnt as in 90% of the skin were chard black and bitter. I never waste food but this is the first restaurant I went to that I can’t finish it due to how bad the food is and have to throw the leftover away see in the picture. I even asked the guy eating his food beside me if he feels the same way and he agreed. If you want to try Jerk King franchise, just walk to Dufferin mall 3 mins away or hop on the subway and go to the Spadina location. If you have to eat at Dufferin Station, there are tons of other restaurants near by, don’t waste your money here. Don’t know how they’ve survived this far. Read more

Both the spicy jerk chicken and stew chicken were fantastic and full of flavour. The stew chicken was fall off the bone tender. Got a small size of each and the food was packed in. The leftover rice soaked in the meat sauce tastes just as good later in the day.

Food here is good customer service is not the greatest. The girl isnt payment attention to her customers by serving people that came in after me and random customers causing a kaos in the restaurant we were waiting for 20 mins to be served due to alot if customers and ... not much of a seating area!
