Beef patties and other items such as oxtail are frequent favorites when available, though a few notes mention oxtail running out and one instance of excessive saltiness. Service is often praised as friendly and efficient, with the atmosphere characterized as cool, casual, and welcoming. While experiences are largely positive and many say they would return to try more items, occasional stock issues and occasional service quirks are mentioned, but overall Lloydie's is viewed as a reliable, satisfying option for hearty Caribbean meals.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Mr Patty is described as a Montréal institution with patties that are delicious and flaky in beef, chicken, and veggie varieties. Reviews praise friendly staff and good service, though a few note that customer service could use some improvement. Many say these are homemade rather than store bought, which contributes to a perception of quality and freshness. The prices are described as affordable, with some variation depending on order size and items. The menu often includes chicken roti and weekend offerings like cow foot soup and chicken soup, and there is advice to go early because items can sell out. Patty quality is repeatedly highlighted as among the best in Montreal and even described as the best Jamaican patty in town. Longstanding loyalty and consistency across years are noted, alongside comments about wishing for delivery options to fit modern schedules. Overall the reviews paint a picture of tasty, affordable, authentic Caribbean patties with a welcoming vibe, while also acknowledging occasional service and hours caveats.View restaurant profile
