| - I love Caribbean food and Ritz is a great lunch time spot to check out.
Pros:
Good and Cheap lunch time specials
Food is very well done
Cons:
Expect a long line up during peak lunch hours
There are times where I just crave a jerk chicken or oxtail stew. So on a day where I was off and had an appointment in the Yonge and Eglinton area, I decided to give this place a whirl. As soon as you walk in, you get a whiff of the smell of jerk, yummy!! Then you notice the line up and you realize you will be tempted by this smell for longer than you would like, lol.
I got there at about 12:30, which was a mistake on my part. I had the day off and should of waited till it wasn't peak lunch hours. The line up was huge, I'd say about 25 people long at least. Luckily, the line moves pretty fast. If you end up eating at Ritz, the line could be a problem as it gets right up to the tables where you eat. You will literally have someone standing right beside you as you eat. For some, that may be a bit unconformable.
Most people at lunch get the awesome Jerk chicken lunch deal for $4.99. The chicken is chopped up for you as you order. The "gravy" they put on is bascially the oxtail stew, YUM!!! After finishing my lunch, I ordered some oxtail to take home for dinner. That was splendid as well. I'm always skeptical about chain places but that went out the door after my first bite.
In the end, this is a great lunch time spot. I will definitely come here again if I'm in the area for lunch.
