Reviews for The Real Jerk Restaurant (Beaches) in Toronto, ON

We had a craving for Jamaican and were driving through our old haunts in East York. The Real Jerk for lunch was so good! Jerk... chicken, Curry goat, oxtail and rice and peas! Great food and service. Ginger beer, Red Stripe and a new drink....a dark andstormy. Read more

There?s far better places in the city, for Jamaican food and definitely for service. It was a busy night with one server so I... totally understand the general slowness. Here?s my experience from last night: First, I asked the server for a gin and soda. 10mins later she comes back and tells me they have no soda water, brings me the drink menu and says order off here. I select aJamaican mule, and another 5 mins later she comes back and tells me they have no ginger beer. At this point I just give up onthe idea of having any alcohol so I just ask for the food menu. I ordered the goat roti which was subpar. I realize goat has alot of fat and bone, but there was maybe 1-2 chunks of actual meat in the whole thing. Roti texture was off too, and quite oilyso oil pooled at the bottom of the box. I ate what I could and paid my bill. This is where it gets egregious: After eating, Iwas chatting with my friends when 30 mins later server comes up to me and accuses me of not paying. The machine wasn?t printingthe receipt when she handed it to me so I couldn?t get my copy of the payment slip. Thankfully, I paid on my Apple Watch so itclearly showed a transaction of $16.82 at Real Jerk 35 minutes ago, but she kept insisting I didn?t pay and wants me to payAGAIN. Had I paid with credit card I would have had no proof and would have had to pay again. I?m furious at this point - howcan you accuse your customers of not paying when you have the receipt from the point of sale machine!? How embarrassing to getcalled out in front of everyone for ?not paying?! I had to stand there while she reconciled the receipts before she conceded Idid pay. I didn?t even get an apology from her. I would absolutely never come back here again. Read more

Went to order an ackee and salt fish for lunch. Asked for provisions, they were out, asked for fried dumpling, they were out. ... I don?t eat rice so I asked if I can substitute for vegetables because there was nothing else to substitute it with. Thepicture below is what I received. She charged me $25?!?! Such a rip off! I could get a full snapper dinner for this price. Iwas still hungry after eating such a small portion. Charged me full dinner price and full price for the side of vegetables. I?m beyond upset. I feel like I was robbed. Read more

The owner helped to provide the food for Malvern CI's cultural food day. He provided trays of jerk chicken, rice and peas and... coleslaw. Then for good measure, he threw in some curry chicken and some well seasoned up chicken wings at no charge! The foodis delicious, the customer service was outstanding and the owner even helped me bring all of the food out to my car. I woulddefinitely go back to eat and I highly recommend the food! The staff and students cleaned their plates and even came back forseconds! Thank you for providing the food for our event! It was a great success:) Read more

Excellent service Jerk pork wad perfect ... spicy but not disgustingly so, nice flavors, rice and coleslaw perfect.

I had the jerk wings & jerk pork poutine & 2 of their Dark & Stormys (they called it something else) & got a 1/2 chicken to go.... All were good and the young woman working behind the bar was very nice. Read more

I think I was the Jerk for not bringing my girlfriend here sooner. Very cheap and tasty food, and the service was very friendly... too! We got the coconut shrimp and the jerk chicken poutine, both of which were new flavours to us and we loved them both. Itwas a cozy, plain and simple environment too. Would definitely come again.

Really gross curry veg roti.. it tastes like the frozen bag of veggies that you get from the grocery store. Unseasoned.... Absolutely gross. Definitely would never buy again. Also the veggie patty was very bland and tasteless as well. Read more
