“ Good vibes & peaceful atmosphere. Jerk chicken lunch special was so flavourful and made my day. ”
“ I have been coming to this Morningside location for over 15 years. The best oxtail in the GTA. I have tried many places but always some back here for the oxtail dinner. Rice and peas are perfect and generous amount of oxtail meat and gravy. About 23 for a large dinner which is reasonable. Service is always great, Veronica was pleasant and very friendly and efficient even with a line up ahead of me and behind me. Don’t forget to grab an Allan’s spicy beef patty from the warmer as a quick snack on the way out to your car. Also don’t forget the spicy hot sauce on the side counter, pour it yourself in the small container, 2 shot fulls of hot sauce mixed in with the rice and peas and oxtail gravy gives it the perfect spicy and tangy scotch bonnet flavour to the oxtail dinner. Their 2 meat specials are also great which includes oxtail, jerk chicken or jerk pork. My ideal and favourite comfort food and it’s worth the 30 minutes drive from the other end of town. Thanks to all the staff for continuing the great tradition of Mr. Jerk. ”
