From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen delivers a vibrant culinary journey with its "amazing Jamaican food" and "authentic vibe." The lively atmosphere is perfect for casual dates or group gatherings. While the portions can be small, the flavors are "hands down" some of the best, with standout dishes like jerk chicken and curry goat. Service is generally friendly, though occasionally slow. The ambiance and drinks create an enjoyable, upbeat dining experience in Toronto.

    Our server was perfect. Great service. She even got us an extra chair because 1 extra person showed up for dinner. I don’t remember her name but she had the cutest British accent. Thank you Chubby’s for making my birthday a little more special!
