Lloydies is just flat out delicious. Carribean food just satisfies in the best way. The jerk poutine was amazing & the jerk chicken with rice even more so.
Oxtail is just okay little bit on the salty side but cooked well. Portions are a bit small for the price but it is what it is. Jerk chicken was delicious juicy & tender I'll be back for more jerk.
As soon as I walked one the employee greeted me & girlfriend very well, felt like we were welcome to be here. We ordered the jerk chicken plate , oxtail plate , macaroni gratiné, 2 patties, 2 lemonades & nothing disappointed us at all. Thought the place would have been a bit bigger but it's really small just in & out
I wanted to try Lloydie's since moving to the Mile End but unfortunately the hype did not meet expectations. The jam patties were overly flakey & not very well seasoned with way more pastry than meat, & my jerk chicken was not all that exciting. The rice was dry & plantaines were a bit soggy. What was more annoying was ordering online takes you through DoorDash despite there not being any indication that's where you're ordering from. Therefore all items on the menu are about 20% more expensive, which sucks as I was picking it up. If ordering to go, call instead.
The best jerk chicken, best service & the best music in town! What more can you ask for?
These guys are consistently great - something that is hard to pull off. 5stars absolutely deserved!
Loved my experience here! Friendly staff, cool atmosphere, chill vibe. Jerk chicken plate was so, so good. A great portion size, & the plantains & slaw brought so much to the tastes, textures & balance of flavour. Truly loved it, wish I had Lloydie's in my city! Took two patties to go so I could enjoy even more Lloydie's later!
Also, house made ginger beer was perfectly spicy & sweet!
Ordered via ubereats. Now I'll admit it doesn't look very appetising from the pictures here but the oxtail stew is incredible! Even with 30 minute delivery time. Jerk chicken (well seasoned & tender) & plantain (soft & sweet) are delicious as well. & I love their spicy sauce! (Not too spicy) Everything I ordered was good, it left me a good impression of Caribbean food. Would order again. Now for the downside is that it feels a bit expensive to me (I'm poor)
Can't speak about authenticity because this is my first time trying Caribbean food.
