Negril Jerk Food - Markham

I think I've been going here for at least 15yrs. It's way out of my way, but the j chicken is authentic and delicious!

This place used to be a good place to eat, new owners now the food is garbage. This place makes Trini food taste

I ordered a large 2 meat combo chicken and ox tail) and a side order of just j pork. The 2 meat combo came with a tablespoon size of coleslaw, 3 small pieces of ox tail and 3 small pieces of j chicken. For 20 dollars, that's not worth it. Taste was okay, nothing special. The j pork was 8 dollars and really dry.

Came here to get lunch because my landlord was doing renovations upstairs and the power was out so I couldn’t cook anything for my son. Saw this place a few times and wanted to try it out. Nice people, good service, food too expensive for the portion size. I couldn’t take a picture of the food as my phone died and due to the power outage that lasted 10.5 hours, I couldn’t charge it in the house so I tried to charge it in the car but it didn’t work. It takes a long time to start up again when dead. Anyways, I got the oxtail dinner size for my mother, and it was $19.50, got the island chicken (fried bbq) $14.50, a malt for my mother $3, and a patty for my son (I don’t remember how much this was). It all came to $42.50 and I remember thinking “I hope it tastes amazing!” Got home, started eating, and it tasted as if the rice and peas was missing something. I can’t quite say what it was..maybe it was coconut milk or something else but it wasn’t what I was used to. The fried chicken with bbq sauce was really good. My son enjoyed it. My mother said the oxtail was okay. I didn’t try it as the portion wasn’t big enough, in my opinion, so I didn’t want to take from her, and the patty was okay. For now, I would only return for the island chicken.

The food at this restaurant is fantastic! It is full of flavor, cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. The prices are reasonable as well.
