Mr Jerk

Most amazing jerk chicken, I’ve been going here for over 20 years, the staff have been the same «Just Plain Rude, No Smiles» but the food is truly the best. They unfortunately know there food is very good, as anytime in the day there are long lineups, and they serve everyone with a grouchy smile.

Jerk Pork. I must have Jerk Pork. I check the Unilocal App and what do I find? Missa (Mr)Jerk!!! I have only eaten at the Malvern, Keele and down-​town locations, this is gonna be exciting. First I shall speak on the location of the take-​out restaurant. It is situated on the north side of Derry Rd (near 427) in large sized strip mall. Plenty of free parking. The restaurant is small, dimly lit and run down. No crazy line ups observed. It was around 8pm on a Saturday night. FYI, they are open till 10pm on Sat. Nice. My order consisted of one large Jerk Pork and and one large Jerk Chicken. (Now being a self touted expert in the ordering of all things Jerky, I requested, oxtail gravy and rice and pea on both) The only option I was given was if I wanted tomatoes with it. Taken back by this offer of tomatoes, curiosity caused a nod of agreement. I get home and open up the containers and to my surprise and delight I find a decent amount of both Pork and Chicken in both containers. Not bad. I have had better quantity levels at the other locations. The surprise was the two thick slices of tomatoes in each container. No slaw or steamed cabbage but tomatoes?! lol. Let the feast begin. lol. The Jerk Pork: nicely blackened bark, meat moist and tender. A perfect level of spice. The Jerk Chicken: Moist tender and perfectly spiced. Just add some pepper if you you like it hot. The nice lady behind the counter did not offer pepper (hot sauce) as an option, so I just amp mine up with some of my Matouks. The rice and gravy mix was delicious but i found a lot of dried up rice which caused a bit of dried up rice teeth pickin. I could tell that the cook that prepared the Rice and Pea knew what they were doing when making the dish and blame it to improper containment. Back to the Tomatoes. It was an odd yet tasty pairing to the Pork and Chicken. Would I go back? HELL YEAH!

Yes, one of my favourite places for Jamaican takeout, in the Toronto area.
They have amazing jerk pork and chicken, with rice and beans.
My favourites are the snapper and the kingfish (what can i say, I am an islander), with the home made hot sauce. YUMMY. Remember, if you can’t handle the heat, don’t ask for it.
The beef patties are also a honourable mention. Make sure they are fresh when you buy them.
There is a lot of entertainment here. Sometimes you will hear the 2 ladies at the front argue, with the heavy Patwa accent, all about nothing… quite entertaining.

really nice people running this place. Decent curry goat, a bit dried out jerk chicken. but thats probably because of the time of day we went in at.

Takeout Only — No Seating
Mr. Jerk is a small Caribbean takeout place in a strip mall on the northwest corner of Derry and Goreway, right at the edge of Mississauga.
They offer standard West Indian fare options, including jerk chicken and pork.
I had the jerk pork dinner with rice and peas and gravy. It was awesome. The pork was juicy, and its flavour was only enhanced by the gravy poured over it. Portion-​wise, this was right on. It filled a typical half-​sized takeout container, and was relatively equal on the meat/​rice ratio.
Ideally, they’d have a stool or two for customers to eat inside, as there are no tables outside. I visited via public transportation that day and had to eat standing in the parking lot.
Other than this minor drawback, Mr. Jerk is a place I’d highly recommend if you’re in the area. Good food.

I went to this place because of a friends review on it. I decided to get the curried goat roti because that is one of my dishes. Unfortunately I was disappointed, first off they microwaved the roti bread which was a little shocking to me especially because they were charging $ 10 for the roti. It came with the bone in which isn’t a huge issue but I would have preferred to have the bones out. Overall, it tasted okay, but I won’t be going back there again any time soon.

Good food for good price. Don’t expect the service tho. Probably why they don’t charge for the service. And they don’t open on Sunday.

dont get me wrong this place is great on the food but the service there sucks theres always this black lady fighing and yelling at customers i love the food there but i will never go there again to far for me and not worth the wait anymore everyone check the one in downtown core and see what im talking about maybe the sould use a debit machine like 2014 i think the sould fire them hire new people just saying

This really deserves no stars but the presentation of the food looked it. I ordered a large Oxtail dinner. What a waste of money! The Oxtail had know seasoning except for salt. It taste like salt and cooking oil. Never again will I ever order Oxtail fm Mr. Jerk. My opinion is to stick to the jerk pork/​chicken!!!

Authentic West Indies/​Jamaican food.
This place has some of the best jerk chicken in the area. It was recently listed as one of the top Jerk places in the GTA and it’s very deserving of that honour. The jerk pork here is killer!
Jerk chicken dinner with rice and peas will run you about $ 10
Don’t expect to be able to go and eat here. It is strictly take out and at lunch time this joint is lined up out the door. Try to be there for 11:45 for best results.
Also, be warned it is CASH ONLY!
Would be 5 star, but the service can be brusque and impatient at times.

First timer at Mr Jerk and it was great!
Mr Jerk is this tiny little place where, despite the freezing temperatures outside, they have the heater blasted and what felt like a humidifier. I kind of felt like I was back home in Miami inside. The place is real cramp so all you can really do is glance at the menu, make your order and pay. No place to sit so its strictly takeout. Menu isnt very large but that’s good…
I wanted to try the jerk chicken and the jerk pork and being that I couldn’t split my dinner half/​half, I just went ahead and ordered both. Combination dinner cost me roughly $ 12. The jerk chicken and jerk pork portions were huge and were served atop a steaming pile of rice and peas with some light gravy spooned onto it.
The Jerk Chicken was a single leg quarter that was chopped up and was tender, fall of the bone dark meat. The flavor the rub and the chicken itself were incredible and actually spicy. It had a nice bit of char on it as well. The same goes for the jerk pork but wow. It was pulled pork without all the sauce. Rubbed in jerk spices, the pork was dry, crusty, and crisp on the outside, but damn juicy on the inside. It looked just as good as it tasted.
I’m no expert on Carribbean food, but based on the places I’ve visited around Toronto, this was surprisingly one of the better ones I’ve had. The meal was enough for 2 people, but I devoured it all myself. The prices are fair and though the service was lacking… it’s takeout… do you really care? Get the good meat and go.

It is truly a privilege to live a 5 minute walk away from here. Jerk chicken is amazing. Oxtail is the best on the block

Very few places make jerk pork these days. If yor are into Jamaican food this place is awesome. I have had the Jerk chicken, pork, oxtail and much more. Other than the long line ups at lunch everything is amazing. Good things come to people who wait.

The place doesn’t look at appetizing, but the food is awesome. I tried the a small jerk pork around 12pm, and it was really tasty. The rice is fairly good as well. You don’t get coleslaw, which i’m used to at the other places. Overall I’ll go again for lunch.

100% authentic West Indian/​Jamaican food. The goat curry roti was dynamite good, and the jerk chicken almost always has line-​ups out the door. If you’re looking for jerk chicken and dont want to break the bank, go here. A meal with a drink will run you around $ 8. Not too shabby.

Usually not the friendliest customer service but the jerk pork is excellent and prices are very fair

Totally authentic jamacian food. Not in the best area but the food is worth the trip to the dive. Get the jerk chicken or pork.

Small place out of the way but has to be the best jerk pork around.

So Mr Jerk in Mississauga is a little known place and is pretty tucked away from it all. Even when you go into the plaza you may not see it. It probably is one of the smallest shops I’ve been into, but man does it pack a punch.
Now first fore-​warning. I’ve found that the stuff here is hit and miss, and it all depends on the time of day you go. The ideal time for deliciousness is 11:30AM. Why? Cause the ladies at Mr. Jerk just brought out all the jerk pork from the oven and are ready for the lunch rush!
You may hear me rave about the jerk pork here, and it’s because it’s the best around. Trust me… it’s amazing! I’ve had it and it was a bit dry at times, but that’s mostly because I went at around 12:45pm-1pm so I blame myself.
If you go at around lunch, you’ll most likely be waiting out past the door. Apparently word has spread about this place and the people that do go there keep coming back. The same thing is pretty much on everyone’s mind… jerk pork.
I’ve tried the jerk chicken from this place and it’s not too too great… but that’s not why you come here.
If you’re in the area and it happens to be 11am-​ish be sure to try the jerk pork dinner one of these days. You won’t be disappointed.

Great food, the jerk pork is amazing. Get the rice and peas with jerk pork and some oxtail sauce on top. You would not be disappointed. They also have great home made beef patties. If your in the area, it is worth giving it a try, you will become a fan.
