| - I was having one of those days where I was craving jerk chicken - you know those days, right? Luckily, I was in the area, saw the lineups, checked out the reviews, and thought we'd try it out. Plus, people in the area told us we just had to, had to go here for lunch. Overall, not sure if it's the best jerk chicken I've had, and I have reservations calling it anything more than average.
We arrived around 12:15 PM and it was very, very busy - keep in mind that there are a lot of office buildings in the area so workers flock here at lunchtime for a good, cheap lunch combo. So, beware the lines. We ordered the jerk chicken lunch special with rice which comes with a canned drink. A majority of the chicken was dark meat (which, personal preference, I don't really like). The meat was definitely tender with decent marinade, but it was also quite oily and had a strange aftertaste. I didn't take to the chicken very well, and, coupled with the oiliness, I didn't come out a big fan. The gravy, on the other hand, is quite good, and I ended up eating most of the rice with gravy, and setting aside the meat. Overall, a pretty average meal.
For two people, with tax, our total came to a little less than $12.70. Keep in mind that there is street parking in the area, along Bloor Street, but it is limited.
