Amazing food at an amazing price. The jerk chicken and jerk pork were both amazing in flavour. They include a lot of meat, and I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. I love the rice and peas, as well as the fried plantains. Highly recommend this location!

Unlike most places, the containers aren’t merely filled with rice, peas, a protein, and perhaps a tong of coleslaw. At Chris Jerk, each meal also arrives with vibrant buttery stir-fried vegetables and sweet soft fried plantains. It’s a full-sized affair where you’re bound to have leftovers. As soon as I saw the large pieces of oxtail ($16.95) I was ready to dig in - you’re lucky there’s any pictures that’s part of this post. Boy was it tasty: thick and meaty with more than enough of the lovely gravy to mix into the rice and peas. While it was tender, it wasn’t braised so long that it fell off the bone. You could still pick up each piece and get a bite of meat and jellied cartilage all together. I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about all the chickpeas accompanying the curry chicken ($12.45) but, in retrospect, the crumbly legumes with the juicy chicken were a nice combination. Despite the vibrant yellow hue of the sauce, the spices weren’t too powerful. Everyone seemed to ask for hot sauce on the side, something I’ll pick up next time to add a bit more heat to the dish. In fact, nothing is overly spicy. Even the jerk chicken leg ($3) was rather tame tasting like barbeque chicken with a jerk element, equally sweet to spicy. I’m glad we only purchased a side order as it would have been a disappointment – when one orders jerk chicken you want that hit of flavours, this was not it.

The line gave it away, 20 people deep at 11:45 for a 12 o'clock opening!! Right out of the gate, Chris's Jerk is a fine oiled machine. That kitchen runs smoothly! Pumping out quality meals. We ordered Oxtail, Curried Goat, plus a side of Jerk wings. It was all absolutely delicious 😋 worth the drive to Scarborough.

Delicious and super popular place. Come early if you want their jerk shawarma - we went at 6:30 on a Saturday and it was already sold out. Despite that, the rest of their food is still really good. Portions are big and the prices rather cheap for what you get. It's a takeout place only but they are popular so you will have to wait a while for your food. Very worth it however

This is my second review a year later for this place... cannot say enough good things. Today they opened at 11am and right on the dot the doors opened and food was freshly prepared. Normally I opt for the tender entree, but today wanted to try their shawarma. Seriously impressive, was so delicious and perfect portion size. Surprised I've never had it before. While I love/appreciate Jerk chicken, it's their BBQ sauce for me. The sauce used on the BBQ chicken and tenders is so good! I would buy this sauce in a jar if they sold it. In addition to the food, the staff are amazing. The family-like vibe is very welcoming and they move quick! You will see all walks of earth at this place :)

This place appears on many Scarborough foodie lists and it's definitely worth a visit. The unique Caribbean fusion offers a different spin and I went for the jerk chicken shawarma wrap with a side of fried chicken. I loved the wrap with which tasted fresh and had a lot of flavor but wasn't really spicy so this should be fine for most people's tastes. I didn't enjoy the fried chicken quite as much but it still tasted just as fresh as the shawarma.

What a delicious spot for Caribbean food. We ordered the curried chicken with a side of jerk chicken and both were delicious. The curry had superb flavour and the chicken was perfectly cooked. They offer complimentary hot sauce on the side and you should definitely get that with your order. It completes the meal. Awesome stuff team Chris Jerk. Will be back for more.

We visited this place for a quick lunch during a weekday and were pleasantly surprised by the inflow of people at this spot. Their food is spot on and very much worth-it for the price you spend. Portion sizes are huge and the flavours are just perfect. We ordered the jerk chicken shawarma and the shawarma poutine, both of which were very hearty meals. 10/10 experience!

The Jerk Chicken and Shawarma tastes great! I wasn't expecting much since our uncle brought me here to try it out. This is the best jerk chicken I've tried. The chicken is so flavorful and then you top it off with the creamy hot sauce and you get an excellent meal I'll definitely come back when I can

We got Beef Oxtail Meal and Jerk Chicken Meal. So glad we finally checked them out, their meals were SO worth it, it came in HUGE portions, it had Rice & Peas, Veggies, and Fried Plantains! Oxtail was fall off the bone tender, flavourful, Jerk Chicken was well seasoned, tender, juicy, and they didn’t cheap out on Gravy, the Rice & Peas soaked up all the deliciousness, GOSH it was amazing! Deducted 1 star because the lady at the cash was very rude.

It's take out only, we drive here after craving Jerk chicken and had heard about place from family/friend. They were busy, as you enter the smoky smell of the cooking and the business gets you in the mood of wanting to try. Got jerk chicken with rice and peas, comes with veggies and the fried plantain sooooo güd 😋 plantain is my favourite and depending where you get it from the sweetness is different and today it was perfect. It was about 30 min wait. We ate our first round in parking lot and decided to go back in to get 2 more to take home for later .. waited another 30 but worth it. Was good !!!! Oh don't forget to grab your sea moss apparently has its 'perks' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I heard when asked why so popular Definitely a must go and get to eat if in area You get quite a bit for $14 taxes in Take out only December 29, 2022 P.s. don't forget to ask for hot sauce, it's delicious over the jerk and rice

Made the detour on our way to Toronto from Ottawa and worth the extra travel time. Chris runs a tight kitchen and it shows in the quality and flavour of his dishes. Hearty portions for great prices; come hungry!

Beautifully presented food, great portion size! It takes quite a while but it’s because the food is well made. It is a bit sweeter than I like my oxtail to be but everyone has a different flavour profile. Will try the famous jerk next time!

This place is poppin! The fn cook was cooking! He had mans out was frying stuff. It was so nice to see people love what they do and take the time to make real food. I appreciate the effort, guys! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! This hands down best jamaican restaurant in the city.

This is the best food you will ever find. The Curry Chicken is incredible. Every bite leaves me wanting more. No bones, no gristle, just moist tender flavorful meat. The veggies are steammed to perfection, and the rice and peas are out of this world. There is a reason they are always so busy. The staff are so friendly too, and you can tell they love what they do and each other. I eat lunch out once a week, and this is the only place I go to. Prices are excellent too. Wish I could give even more stars.

Chris Jerk is absolutely incredible. This is by far the best Caribbean food I have ever eaten. The jerk chicken is fantastic. I always get the jerk chicken shawarma poutine and it will change your life. Everyone needs to check this place out, it is worth the drive.

I was intending on having a meal from another restaurant at the mall. But when I saw the line up at Chris Jerk and heard reviews from happy repeat customers, I changed my mind. I am glad I did. I got the curry goat and it was good, however I think it would taste better if they used less salt. Despite that I am still interested in coming back to try their ox tail. If you like my review's, photo's or video's give a big easy thumbs up.

Great place to grab some carribean food such as jerk chicken and fried chicken. Portions are really hearty, always wanted to try their jerk pouting but you need to go during the day as they usually don't have it in the evenings. Lots of parking, but sometimes can be line ups.

My first visit to Chris's jerk and the atmosphere was professional, the cashier was very polite, and the service was top notch. I had a VEG jerk base food and my wife had a Snapper escovich fish, which was delicious. I would recommend Chris bistro, to anyone, who likes Jamaican or Caribbean food. Go try it. RS

I ordered the jerk chicken dinner, which comes with chicken leg, rice, plantains, carrots and broccoli. It cost around $15. My favourite was the plantains. Everything else tasted just okay. The chicken was a bit salty.

Absolutely awesome. Looked up the best jerk in Toronto and after about 20 minutes of research I found that this place had to be one of the best. As soon as I got there I noticed a line of about 20 ppl which is always a good sign. After getting in and asking the staff what I should get, they gave me great recommendations and were super nice and helpful. I ordered the jerk chicken poutine, a side of oxtail and a jerk chicken combo that came with rice, beans, veggies and fried plantain. I LOVED it! There was no dining inside so we ate in the parking lot, the drink selection there was good, good parking and easily accessible for anyone in a wheelchair. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back.

Its my first time in a long time since I had their beef oxtail and curried goat so I ordered it by uber eats. My impressions is the oxtail had lots of bones and less meat but the sauce was on point and the rice was slightly saltier than usual. The goat was tasty and the meat was substantial. I would come back again whenever I want to grab some Carribean food.

Chris Jerk is one of the best jerk food restaurants in the GTA that we have tried so far. We have ordered take out in many occasions and, even dined in a couple of times, and it has always been an excellent choice: the food is consistently delicious and the portions are generous. Among other things, we have tried the Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, Curried Goat, Beef Oxtail and, Red Snapper, which are our go-to entrées. The only thing that we would wish is that they had "boneless" options as well. The place is small inside so, it is not ideal for dining in during busy times. It gets a lot of traffic so, you may also find yourself waiting a bit even for take out but, it is worth the wait. The service is good and the staff is more often than not, very friendly.

I like Jamaican food that is why I wanted to try this place while I was in the area. Jerk chicken was good but there was a lot bones inside my chicken pieces. It was little bit hard to eat. Staff were friendly and atmosphere was nice. There is no seating inside only a few places to stand.

It's a pretty happening location on a Friday night. The sides were all great: rice and peas, plantain, coleslaw, etc... and you get a surprising number of sides with your food. You get a much more balanced and filling meal for the price. Unfortunately, the jerk chicken is not the greatest. It has a lot more gravy than spice. The beef oxtail was pretty good.

Chris Jerk is a high-traffic, up tempo Caribbean food takeout that emphasizes Jerk cuisine. The eatery’s decor is immediately inviting as is the options on the menu. Food is served in one size with the option to order an extra side in a smaller container. Chris himself is on the food line making sure that meals are packaged and served to customers with ultimate attention. I ordered the Jerk BAR-B-Q Tenders with rice and peas and coleslaw. Bae and our guest ordered Jerk Chicken with salad (which is carrots and broccoli). Overall the chicken is well cooked and succulent. Chris and team used fresh ingredients and herbs which made the meat, rice and coleslaw pop. If you are a Jerk traditionalist, this may not be for you as the Jerk dishes are not prepared in a Jerk Drum. Jerk seasoning is added to the chicken; also, this location is not a Bistro (there is no space to sit indoors or outdoors as with a traditional Bistro), rather it is a takeout. Chris Jerk has a variety of beverages to compliment your meal. He has a selection of house beverages and I recommend his Seamoss beverage. The staff is knowledgeable and accurate making sure to get your order right. You will experience a longer than usual wait time so enjoy music from the Caribbean and make friends with other customers! There is ample parking available to customers in the shared plaza and signage of the eatery is very clear so you won’t miss this spot (see photos attached). Overall, I love the food presentation, beverages and staff … if they add a Jerk Drum I would love that! They are open 11am to 8pm!

Heard some good things about this place so I gave it a try today. For $15, I got the jerk chicken entree which came with rice and beans, plantains, carrots and cabbage. Overall I just found it to be average. I was hoping for a smoky flavour but there was none. The hot sauce was very good though.

Amazing Caribbean Dishes, I would go on a day to day bases for the Jerk Chicken Combo. Though my typical go to is the Jerk Chicken Shawarma Poutine. The poutine always hits the spot, a kick of the jerk Chicken mixed with great French fries and gravy.

Great not so hidden spot in Scarborough. Well worth the drive to try their shawarma poutine. Their jerk chicken is also delicious! Come early as they run out of their famous shawarma chicken in the afternoon. Ask them for jerk chicken poutine instead, it isn’t as good but at least you wont have driven for nothing.

I drove past Chris Jerk a few times in the past, I decided to give them a try. I walked in and saw a lot of customers waiting for their food, this must be a good sign. I ordered a jerk chicken entree nd their stew Beef lunch special. The portion was generous and tasted very good. The chicken was succulent but the gravy was a little salty. Overall good food

A very very busy restaurant. Very clean and organized and good customer service. Ordered the jerk chicken shawarma meal, which is plenty and very delicious. Love their fried plantains, very tasty and caramelized. I always get an extra order of it. There is always a lineup so be ready to wait, but worth the wait. My only complain is that they never pick up their phone for orders, atleast not that day. Maybe being a weekend.

Best place to get Caribbean food. Dispite the long lineup of customers waiting for their food, the food came out relatively quick. Food tasted good and the sauce was very delicious. Portions size was also reasonable. Service was okay and they only do takeout.

What a find! I had the fried chicken meal and everything was done to perfection. For the price, it was a large portion and the presentation and taste was comparable to 5 star restaurant. I will keep coming back and share with everyone. Simply outstanding food!

The food was truly amazing, it’s definitely worth every penny spent, what I will say is make sure you call ahead because of the fact that it’s really busy. Overall I truly appreciate the experience would say that my personal favourite was the jerk chicken poutine!!

Delicious food, good portion sizes, and overall great value! I’m really glad we tried this place out, and it’s definitely somewhere I’d love to come back to. The hot sauce that came with the order was also really good—worth a special mention!

I happen to be driving by this plaza and we saw this sign saying Caribbean Bistro and boy oh boy am I SO HAPPY I stumbled upon this gem. It is located in the East end of the city and I live in Brampton however I would definitely recommend anyone to make the drive. The staff was wonderful and the food was AMAZING! I had the jerk chicken Shawarma, Jerk Chicken poutine, some plantain and we bought a bottle of their special pepper sauce! Everything was full of flavour and NICE portion sizes.

It ain't pretty but it sure is delicious. The smile factor when having this was high. Best be enjoy slowing, like real slow. To sum the experience cue the music "It Was a Good Day - Ice Cube". The Jerk sauce and the crispy chicken was perfect. Fries were not too soggy and had the right amount of crisp to them. A must to have when you visit Chris jerk.
