The service here is awful… the cashier is rude… there’s nowhere to sit .but the food is good especially the jerk chicken… and that’s the only reason I’d go back it’s also pretty expensive compared to sunrise

Good Food, Horrible Staff… is it worth it any longer for the calories… NO! Feb 2014 what a horrible two kids working behind the counter even though they appear old enough to have some manners, Immature… Very rude individuals. Besides the texting on the phone when i arrived and the second one sweeping the place while some people were eating one of them gave me the wrong order and not until i went to the lot and drove to two corner to eat my food after a long days work did i realize it was chicken and not jerk pork. I humbly went back in and told the one sweeping as I had already been turned off from the one that served me the food in the first place from her attitude but at the time said nothing. When the one sweeping indicated to the one with the attitude it was the wrong order it was like I had done something wrong. Wayyyyyy to much pride to admit the fault. No sorry, nothing. Telling the one sweeping«Tell em fe bring it back, bring it back she says to the girl even though I’m standing right there. I left the food in the car as I did not know if they would take it back. The rude one talks to me like a damn child and i let that go. Then i go get the food and bring it in. She stretches out her hand over the counter after finishing serving a customer without saying a word and i’m just staring at her as I have had enough. While she is «stretching out the arm» I say«You mean sorry about that sir can you hand me the food», I say it twice as she looks at me like i’m nuts. Absolutely no training. When she catches on she immediately looks to the one that was sweeping and speaks in Jamaican sucking her teeth and telling the girl in «Patios»(Jamaican slang for those who don’t know with a sour face). Are you serious? What a rude girl! Then the one sweeping starts to take her side because of course their buddies as they work together and don’t understand right from wrong. Telling me to hand her the food as im beginning to verbally deal with the rude one… and my problem is with the other girl. Saying this while giving me some serious attitude. Well u know what my second ghetto fabulous employees you now made the problem with me as well because I don’t appreciate your vibe. At the end of the day i get my money back and speak to the manager. This Asian man is very apologetic, the two girls are snarling and throwing comments as they over hear my conversation with the Manager, some heroic idiots(Two males) are ordering food and they start sticking their nose in the situation i dont know maybe trying to get an extra chicken wing or look good in front of the girls like its a damn joke. I swear sometimes you really need to check your self as you can get into legal trouble real quick if your not thinking… I believe i made the right choice however when one humbles ones self depending on the outcome u can leave feeling upset, discontented or embarrassed. Who these dudes were i dont know but it all seemed a game to them. Trust me I feel sorry for that Manager because if they are acting like that in front of him then trust me I was more than in the right to get upset because when he was not there they were even worse to me… Amanda is the name of one, thats what the manager called her when he was telling her to stop with the comments, light skinned red bone, heavy set, pug flat nose and dikey looking… scarf tied on head… second one very dark skinned, shiny skin, innocent looking but not, baseball cap on top of a curly weave that looked like it was sewn into the hat… I’m seriously pissed… and I’m not trying to be mean… I truly wish I had time and the gull to call out rude businesses/employees with others and make it a mission for others to know… picket the business if we had to… Take care y’all

This is a neighbourhood institution that has been around for ages. So why was today my first visit? Beats me! I ordered the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. They have the chicken roasted and under a hot lamp, and chop them to order. The sandwich was topped with fresh coleslaw and I added pepper sauce for a bit of heat. The flavour on the chicken was nice. Lots of five spice coming through. The coleslaw was surprisingly fresh, and had great texture. It complemented the meat well. The Scotch Bonnet based pepper sauce was on point. Nice and spicy! The only thing that was a bit of a let down was the stodgy white bun that it was served on. I don’t think it was Cocoa Bread, because I’ve that before and it’s delicious. This just didn’t taste super fresh.

I’m dying of laughter reading everyone’s take on the service. I totally agree! It is horrible but I actually find it amusing now after coming here for over ten years. I think my favourite part of the service is how they just stare at you, don’t ask what you’d like, just stare! And don’t even think about hearing a thank you. I know what to expect when I walk in and that’s dead pan stares and delicious food! Their jerk pork dinner and sandwich is too damn tasty its worth the horrible service. Their homemade pepper sauce is also delicious, not very hot but very flavourful. If you go in knowing the service sucks, you’ll actually get a kick out of it. Prices are good and food is damn tasty.

Whenever I’ve dropped by there has been a fairly large line in the store, and to be honest I can’t really figure out why. I’ve gotten oxtail and curry goat a handful of times, and the food can range from bland to amazing. The service also leaves something to be desired; I’m not expecting forced joviality, but to be acknowledged when I’ve walked in is nice. The food on offer is Chinese and Caribbean, and they also have Allan’s bread for sale. I’ve only ever had the Caribbean food and picked up a loaf or two of bread. I’d have to recommend Sunrise or Twice As Nice for food, and walking a few doors down to Charley’s West Indian Grocery for a fresher bread selection, or even better, heading to the Allan’s bakery near Markham and Steeles. The meals served at Mr. Jerk is just too hit or miss, especially for pricier items like oxtail.

Rude, rude, rude. Not sure why I shopped here for patties as often as I did, the service is horrible(the opposite of Jerk King at Morningside and Lawrence, my other patty place) I have stopped shopping here, they won’t get any more of my money, they need to treat the customers well, we are the ones paying the bills.

Pretty decent Caribbean venue on the East side of town… The place serves Caribbean and Chinese food. I’ve never tried the Chinese food but the Caribbean food is pretty good. I usually go for Curry Chicken roti, and from what I’ve heard their Curry goat is also good. Prices are around $ 8 per dish, there is a a very limited sitting area therefore I recommend a take-out…
