Across reviews Faybee's Restaurant earns praise for bold Caribbean flavors and dishes like jerk chicken, griot, goat curry, oxtail, roti, and patties, with many noting the food is delicious and the atmosphere lively or cozy, yet several comments highlight inconsistency in portions and meat quantity, including small portions for the price and oxtail not always tender. Takeout and online ordering experiences are mixed, with occasional price discrepancies, missing extras, and busy service that can feel urgent or loud. Some visitors had off days where dishes did not meet expectations, while others call Faybee's a hidden gem and a reliable go to for flavorful meals and good drinks. Seating is limited and takeout is common, but the overall impression remains that the flavors are strong and authentic, even if consistency varies and service can be uneven.
Today I ordered two chicken foot soups but I didn't get chicken foot soup, instead I got beef soup with one chicken foot in each bowl one boul had hardly any chicken on it.
I contacted back the restaurant to let them know that I ordered two chicken foot soups Not beef soups, the owe said that it was mixed with both chicken & beef I told her there wasn't much but any chicken foot in the soups she said that she was the one who shared the food.....I know what I had & it was beef soups which I didn't ordered.
Not happy with what happened with my order...
I can't complain about the soups other than it needs more food in it for the price it was a large soup that costs $16
The soups taste is 8.5/10 I will buy the soup again if things can improve overall great restaurant because I ordered from them before Jerk chicken was very good.
Absolutely delicious. I got the jerk chicken plate while my friends went for the jerk poutine both were excellent. Can't wait to return & try their other options

I ordered a Griot plate - I received 3 burned plantains - they were extremely hard.
The griot was good, nice & hot but the rice was cold I had to warm it up 😒
Delicious jerk chicken poutine. Food was prepared with care & the banana drink (Makaya banana) was delicious & still nice & cold when it arrived. They were careful to prepare the food according to my dietary restrictions, which I appreciate alot. We look forward to eating from there again (:
So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so good. Rice is not dry but not too flavorful either, the sauce is sweet & tasty, the salad is nice. However, the jerk chicken is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Best I've ever had HANDS DOWN. Will probably be back tomorrow for more. They also give you a bit of that pepper sauce (Komla?) that you only get in the Caribbean - it's a bit spicy so watch out haha.
But seriously. Props to whoever made that recipe. It was delicious.
Today, I had a true Caribbean food experience at this hidden gem. I ordered the curry goat, & my friend chose the oxtail; both came with a side salad, rice, two plantains, a small Jamaican bread, a very spicy sauce (watch out-it's really hot!), & a drink. They have some variety of Jamaican drinks.
The goat meat was tender & moist, & it was my first time trying oxtail, which was also delicious. We sat outside since the weather was beautiful today.
The man who served us was polite & kind, taking time to explain the menu & dishes thoroughly.
I highly recommend this place.

Spotted this on SkipTheDishes, it's just across the highway from me, so I tried to order. I got a vibe it's Creole/Caribbean food, a cuisine I'm not familiar enough with. But the complete lack of pictures & descriptions prevented me from even trying. (What are'Festivals'? What are'Doubles'?) The only thing I felt confident enough ordering was Jamaican Patties, which isn't enough. & at least some options are missing, there's'Tropical Drinks' &'Island Sodas', even safe sounding'Can Soda', but no listing of what flavours there are & no possibility to pick one. The SkipTheDishes menu isn't set up enough to place orders. (Review requires a score, scoring 3 stars only based on the above, scoring midway because I don't have any actual information about the food or service)
