Gospel Cafe And Restaurant

If you’re looking for some quick Jamaican food, then Mr Jerk fills the need, though you can find better options out there for truly authentic food. Having said that, there’s nothing wrong with the food at Mr. Jerk. I’m just saying there’s room for improvement, but I do have to say their jerk chicken is really good. When it comes to the oxtail, I’ve had better. Overall though, I’d return for a lunch when I crave some Jamaican dishes.

This place has authentic tasting stuff most of the time. So jerk chicken or pork with rice and peas with oxtail gravy.. usually (95%) of the time great. I always check how the chicken looks..I.e. if it's too dry or not well done before. I also ask for well done pork... since I don't like the fatty pieces. Again, this is where personal preference comes in. Some people like their chicken and meats tender and juicy..some like well done and dry.. so check and order to your preference. I also like their salt fish.. again..some pieces have more meat than others.. but its a great accompaniment. Love their snapper.. but I usually take it home and reheat on small oven or bbq machine..to get the extra crispiness. The customer service at this place was falling apart a few years ago.. after the original owner passed away (it wasn't great to begin with, some of the staff were plain rude all the time).. it has improved a lot with the new management. Remember..taste differs..make sure u get the stuff that falls in your palate.. there is a lot of variability in this kind of food.. bon apetit

Simple Jerk Chicken, Rice and Peas… absolutely awful. You can tell the chicken had been sitting all day or was from the day before. Food wasn’t fresh. Not to mention the employees working were beyond rude, unprofessional and have not even the slightest amount of customer service. For those who say this is one of the best places to eat, I’m sorry but you haven’t had good food yet because this definitely is not the place. Wouldn’t even give the bones to a dog. Absolutely awful.

Been going here for 15 years. Food used to be great and fairly priced. Over the last couple of years since they have gotten new owners the the prices have gone up and the portions have shrunk. I love their food but they're pricing themselves out. Noticed the lines that used to be there diminishing as well so it must not be only me that feels this way.

I haven't eaten at this location in many many years. I was shocked to see how the service was SLOW!!! One of the staff was dragging her feet as if there weren't four people in line waiting. There was a roach crawling on counter. I ordered the Jerk Pork some and pieces were burnt and hard definitley not edible. Rice and Peas was ok could of used a bit more flavor. Not the Mr Jerk I remembered many many years ago. You're better off going to the Wellesley St or Lawrence Ave W location WAAAYYYYYY BETTER!!!!!!!
