“ This is hands down the best value for jerk chicken here in Scarborough. I’ve been going to this spot for the last 10 years and I’m happy to say nothing has changed, because it’s already perfect. The open kitchen is extremely clean and always maintained to look presentable. The food is great. I always get the jerk chicken poutine and it’s never let me down. 2 small poutines and 2 can drinks will cost you 12. Where else can you get that kind of deal? There is usually a line up during lunch rush, so get there early. But wait the line, it’s well worth it. I’ll be back here for lunch again very soon! Thank you for an amazing lunch everytime. ”
“ I’ve been coming here for over a decade and I can honestly say it never disappoints. The jerk chicken poutine is my all-time favourite and an absolute staple. I always get the small size, which is super affordable at around five dollars, and the portion is actually amazing. There’s a generous amount of cheese, gravy, and perfectly seasoned jerk chicken. Everything is really well-balanced and full of flavour. It’s rich, comforting, and honestly such a good deal. You really get a bang for your buck. Most of the time, I can make the small size last for two meals. Even when it gets busy, especially around lunchtime when all the high school students come in, the staff handle it so well. There are usually two or three people working, and they are always friendly, patient, and incredibly fast even during the rush. You can tell they work really hard to keep everything moving smoothly while still being kind and respectful to everyone. In today’s economy where prices are going up everywhere, this spot continues to offer great value without compromising on quality. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something delicious, satisfying, and affordable. Five stars, hands down. ”
“ One of the best value places in Toronto. Their jerk chicken poutine is what they are known for and it is affordable and delicious. I also enjoy getting the curry goat meals which are well portioned. This place is a Scarborough institution! ”
“ Good portion of tasty jerk chicken poutine with affordable price ”
“ By far one of my favourite spots in the GTA that is the most consistent and most flavourful across-the-board. This place always has returning customers because of the consistency of their food. They are notorious for a well-crafted delicious poutine which comes with perfect jerk chicken. I’ve been coming to this location for more than 10 years straight, and they’ve never done me wrong. I have nothing but good things to say about this location/store. If you’re looking for a delicious jerk chicken poutine For around seven dollars this is a spot for you! You will for sure be filled up and saitisfied. ”
“ I tried several poutines around Toronto and none of them were as good as this. The fries were not hard and stalky. The flavors of the gravy, cheese and jerk chicken were amazing. I got the small poutine for just 5. The Oxtails shocked me!!! The best I have ate so far and a good portion for a medium. The oxtail has the sweet flavor and falls off the bone. I live in the USA and would drive the 8 hours just to have their food again. ”
“ Located inside Woodside Square’s food court, this spot is one of the best places to enjoy a warm, flavorful jerk chicken poutine. The gravy is rich and delicious, the cheese is perfectly melted and shredded, and the fries always give a satisfying mix of crispy and soggy that come together beautifully. As for the price, a small portion costs 5, while a large is only 9. Though there was a line when I visited, it was absolutely worth the wait. Typically, there’s no line so it’s great to see that the business is booming! Overall, if you’re looking for food that’s worth both your time and money, this is the place to go. Rating: 10/10 - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ”
