What Morton Franecki doesn't like about The Real Jerk:
It is alright. Jerk chicken and pork were tasty but rice side was so-so and fried plantains were nearly inedible. Took about 30 min to get a simple takeout order. View all feedback. What EricG likes about The Real Jerk:
The food was good as always. We had not been to the new location, having eaten there last in 2008. Our server Future was very friendly, prompt, and knew the menu inside and out. We eat there each time we come to Toronto and will be back. I even took a take out order to a friend back home (Harrisburg, Pa) who could not make the trip. View all feedback.

The food is awesome and a tourist attraction for those who are Drake and Rihanna fans. This restaurant is where they taped Rihanna's Work video. Aside from that...

The Jerk chicken was tasteless...no jerk flavor whatsoever. The cod fritters were amazing as was the rum punch. Great service but come on, how does the jerk chi...

I love this spot and the food they serve. Music is too loud for me so I often get take out. Jerk chicken is famous but I like the roti.

The Real Jerk restaurant has received mixed reviews from customers. Some have complained about slow service and cold food, while others have praised the delicious dishes like curry goat, rice and peas, wings, jerk chicken, and oxtail. The restaurant has also been commended for following COVID protocols and having efficient and friendly staff. Overall, it seems to be a popular spot for those looking for authentic Caribbean cuisine in Toronto, with a lively atmosphere and great music.
