The Real Jerk catered for a party of 12 people in our home and they were fantastic. Delivered on time, food was hot and delicious and the delivery guy was super nice and pleasant. Portions were more than enough for the number of people ordered. And great price!! Everyone loved it.

Always Solid

The Real Jerk is a consistent dining experience. Every dish I've had, I've enjoyed. The service is slow, but they are friendly enough. Mostly, we do take-out and I've never had a mixed up order. The roti for sure is a good value for the buck. The chicken roti is also awesome, but it is for sure helped by the hot sauce they sell. I've also had ribs there that were tender and flavorful. All in all, a solid bet!

Outstanding food for the soul. Fulfilling food with incredible service. Oxtail was fantastic. Chicken was full of flavor without being overpowering. (but extra hot sauce is on the table for those more adventurous than me) The beans and rice were spiced beautifully. The restaurant is clearly a haven for the Toronto Jamacian community. I think that I was the only fair skinned guy in there but I left feeling that I had been adopted into a family. My rating...better than a kiss on the lips. M.

Glad we gave this a try! Jerk chicken was very tasty, just spicy enough. Roti was an awesome sized meal for the price but could have used a tiny bit more spice. (Next time we'll ask.) Server very friendly. Nice atmosphere, music, lots of fun. Enjoyed the meal very much. We'll be back.

Best Restaurants for Valentine’s Day in Toronto

Caribbean fare is so damn sexy. And The Real Jerk does it so damn well. Tuck into a roti, jerk pork or chicken, curry goat, their famous oxtail dinner, or couby (penne with white meat chicken in a coconut sauce) and pair it with one of their over 65 rums from the Caribbean. Drake and Rihanna were here last week shooting a new video. If it’s good enough for Drizzy and Ri-Ri, it’s def good enough for you.
