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.

Chubbys was in my top 3 restaurants in the Toronto.But now its the bottom.The food was so so bad.the chicken curry was like water and oil.We had the curry before it was yellowish brown thick curry with potatoes. We had to return the mac and cheese. And the portions of jerk chicken keeps getting smaller. Please avoid this place.they are serving food which is not edible now. I have added the photo of the rice with curry on top.the curry was just plain water with salt , you cant even see the curry.

The fish dumplings tasted better than any crab cake I’ve ever had on the east coast.
