Gerry's Fast Foods — Restaurant in Toronto

Gerry's is phenomenal. I was first introduced earlier this year by my partner who grew up on St. Clair West. I have become a big fan of Jamaican food since moving to Toronto 5 years ago (especially loving curry roti, rice and peas and jerk chicken) and Gerry's is by far my absolute favourite spot to indulge.

They have hearty and flavourful vegetarian options (including veggie patties!) and fantastic meat dishes. The curry chicken roti is by far my favourite dish- the roti skins are fresh, light and never greasy. The curry chicken fill is substantial- you can easily get two meals out of one roti!

My partner often grabs the jerk pork dinner with rice and peas, and I always find myself grabbing a few bites, despite my not being a huge fan of pork. The pork is tender and the jerk spice is fragrant and hot but not painfully spicy.

Besides the food, the owners are wonderful. Gerry's is a generational, family-owned business that exudes love and community. You can taste the care they put into each dish- the homemade patties and ginger beer are big testaments to this. Prices are more than fair for the quality of food you are getting.

Gerry's is a staple of the neighborhood- I couldn't imagine the St. Clair West food scene...

What a great spot for Jamaican food. We walked in with no expectations and left with full bellies and hearts!

Donovan’s a great guy. He’s all smiles and very welcoming. We chatted for a while and he shared so much of his family’s history and stories, it felt like we were having lunch at an uncle’s place. The space is very welcoming, and is constantly busy. I didn’t know anything about Jamaican black cake/ christmas cake or what sorrel was and he was so kind to share his knowledge and let me have a little taste. What a treat! They were both very delicious, the christmas cake was so moist and light, I definitely have to order it for my family next time.

We had jerk chicken, rice and peas, steamed veggies and a spicy beef patty each. The price was very reasonable and the food was hearty and tasty. The patty pastry was also flaky and smelled inviting.

What we thought would be a regular lunch turned out to be a wholesome experience. I highly recommend this neighborhood spot and definitely will come back...

I have heard so much about this restaurant and was very excited to try it. We ordered on uber and had a few issues with our order. You can see from the photos that the products were not delivered as expected. While the messy delivery is an uber issue, I would expect that the restaurant choose containers appropriate for this type of travel. It’s the first time I’ve ever received West Indian food in a clamshell vs a container that can be properly sealed with a lid.

The other issue I have is I upsized this to a large which costed me $26. I expected more than 10 small pieces of goat which you can count in the photo. This is the smallest large I’ve ever seen. It was more rice than anything which ended up dry since a lot of the gravy was in the bag and could not be eaten. The goat flavour was good but overall a very poor experience.

My husband’s jerk pork tasted more like stew and was quite dry. As Caribbean people, we know what to expect from the flavours and...
