Jerk Spot - Toronto, Ontario

Don’t order any of the poutine!! I ordered oxtail poutine and it was oxtail gravy served on chopped up doughy dumplings! There was barely any meat. This was very misleading to be called a poutine!!

The most under rated Jamaican spot in Toronto. The best jerk chicken and oxtail I ever had. The oxtail gravy on rice and peas is to die for. Fall off the bone meat so juicy and tender. With every meal, come a small side of coleslaw that pairs so well ... with the meat. Can't wait to come back and try more!! Read more

So damn good. First place I ever tried jerk, in 2004 at the original location on Peter street. Thick and juciy. Unique and delicious flavour. Very friendly woman at the front. I have tried probably 20 other places since. Still the best. Pats was a tie for my favourite until they closed. ... So Jerk Spot is back to the number one spot. Read more

One of the best ox tail dishes I have ever tried! I was pleasantly surprised- definitely coming back for more! I can’t wait to try the other dishes if they are as good as their oxtail. Deep flavour, sauce is slightly thick (perfect), ox tail is very very tender. I had a ... Jamaican Pattie but it’s from a box (Tastee) so I think I’m going to do the home cooked (restaurant cooked) dishes next time. The lady behind the cash was very sweet and very nice. She recommended for me to try the oxtail first (she was right) and then the jerk chicken (have to return for that!). Place is a hole in the wall kind of atmosphere but sometimes it’s these small places that do the best cooking and in this case, their oxtail was divine. In terms of atmosphere, they have a very limited space for eating, take out may be the better way especially if you go during the peak time. There’s a counter with a few bar stools looking out the window for people watching while you eat) Read more

This place was absolutely amazing. Authentic Jamacian curry, patties, and rum cake. We enjoyed the customer service, being able to people watch and the fact that the establishment is small and focused on each individual customer. It was one of the best meals we had in Toronto while visiting.
