  • Even though customer service is non existent to most restaurant standards, and a lot of people are put off by it, but I didn't mind it at all. I took extra effort to get along with the owner. And she showed some signs of warmth most of the time. She added character to the place and that character matched the neighbourhood. However, the inconsistency in food, is just too much. The patties, when they are available (they weren't at the beginning of lunch on my last visit), are very tasty. And out of the 20 times I have been there, 9 out of 10 times, consistent. And when at their best, one of the better ones' I tasted in Canada (and Jamaica on my several trips there). However, the other food, is a throw of the dice. I have tasted the Goat, Oxtail and Jerk chicken on several occasions. At it's best, they are delicious. Juicy, full of flavour and very tender but, it was a 50/50 chance of getting this. I find the rice, is always not that great to terrible. Either cold to room temperature and way overcooked. Sometimes you get rice and peas and sometimes you get just plain white rice, not sure why. The white rice was always mushy/overcooked. The slaw, terrible most of the time. A lot of times, it's not slaw. It's just dry, plain cabbage with nothing else. Very little of it on the jerk special. Now, at worst, you will get 3+ day old meat that's really dry, and tastes "funny" like I did a couple times including the last time I went. Which was the deal breaker for me. I understand that it's expensive to run a restaurant in Toronto, but freshness should not be sacrificed. Consistency is the key to having a long standing restaurant. She has great recipes, if only she could hire professinal help in the kitchen that would make food and service consistent, with a focus on freshness. I think her place would flourish. But as it is, unfortunately, i'm not coming back anymore. There are much better options. Tough for me to leave this review as I like the "quirkiness" of the owner and when food is fresh and not rushed, it's some of the better tasting Jamaican food in the city with extreme value.
