Reviews for The Real Jerk Restaurant in Toronto, ON
A cool place and good jerk food! Their cod fritters was really good, like grandma’s dishes’ taste. We went back to the... restaurant next day because of this dish. Have tired their chicken, lamb, ribs, pork and oxtail. All are tasty and rich. Ribsare a bit sweet compared to the others, but its sauce went well with rice! Oxtail was really rich. Chicken and lambs were prettygood also. Pork was a bit dry and tasteless. Overall a good place to go and chill. Have tried their beef and chicken patties aswell where they also sold over their cashier counter. Really love their beef patties! Read more
One of the best places in the GTA. Top 2 total. Best place in and around downtown Toronto for sure. Ordered the jerk and... oxtail combo with rice n peas with curried potatoes as my two sides. Only gripe is you gotta know to ask for the jerk sauce asit only seemingly comes on the side when requested. But it’s very good and perfectly spiced. Oxtail was tender, not hard.Rice n peas fluffy and properly authentic. Extra gravy is always necessary. Jerk was perfectly bbq’d and I think it’ssmoked, but I’ll have to ask next time. Raptor’s players have been seen eating here too. Highly recommended, nice decorand vibe. Read more
Photo doesn't do this food justice. It was absolutely delicious. The ambience was great. Our server, Shannon, very lovely lady.... She made sure we were okay. She took our orders quickly. Appetizers arrived well before the main course. I had pork/oxtail combowith rice and peas. It was every bit as yummy as my friend's order, roti. The pork/oxtail was so good, I ordered takeout for myhusband and he loved it as well. It was my first time at the restaurant and I wasn't disappointed. Even the few week old babywe went with felt relaxed and didn't make much fuss. All round, we had a great time. The next time I'm in Toronto, I'll try tovisit again. Read more
Authentic Jamaican food & Caribbean themed rum bar. Parking at the front. The lady server was really welcoming and friendly. We... had jerk chicken with side curry potatoes & bean and rice for lunch this afternoon. We could taste the spices in our the dishesand we felt like we are back to our vacation in Caribbean Island. Love their Real Jerk Hot sauce and their music !! Read more

It is alright. Jerk chicken and pork were tasty but rice side was so-so and fried plantains were nearly inedible. Took about 30... min to get a simple takeout order. Read more
Ordered takeout straight from the restaurant. The waitress didn’t exactly have the best customer service, she was cold and... unfriendly. It would’ve been great if she told us how long we had to wait for our order to be ready but no, we sat on the sidefor 40 minutes until she said “Your order’s ready”. It was an extremely busy Monday night, there were a gazillion takeoutsthey had to deal with and a few dine-ins. Food was alright, not the best jerk chicken wings I’ve ever tasted. I’ve hadbetter ones quite frankly. The chicken was dry and may need a little more spice to give it more of a kick. The rice and beanswere also very dry. Not sure if I’ll be back again. Read more
Went to the Real Jerk in October 2022 on a Wednesday: The Real Jerk (on Gerrard) is still going after more than 30 years and... changing locations. The chicken soup was delicious, and the rice and peas dish in the photo - tasty. The red peas soup, andackee and salt fish were delicious too. 4/5 stars because they should bring back the real outdoor jerk smoker that they had inthe beginning for that authentic jerk flavor. Jerk is not jerked without the real smoked flavor from a grill/pit. Read more
