Ordered Take out. Food was excellent!!!! Ordered the Jerk Chicken with Rice & my husband ordered the Jerk Chicken Poutine. Will definitely come back to try their oxtail next time!
Lloydie's never misses! The food is packed with flavour, the portions are generous, & the service is always warm & welcoming. Whether it's the jerk chicken, oxtail, or patties, everything tastes authentic & freshly made. One of my go-to spots for Caribbean comfort food - highly recommend!
i came here friday night for the first time & i had an oxtail plate & it was very delicious. The girl at cash had a very good service! will be coming here again!
discovered this restaurent & went to get a plate of oxtail coming all the way from england & the cashier on friday evening was so nice sweet & she gave great service! would def recommend this place
I ordered from Uber eats & they give so much less food than before. Half the plantain side I got was burnt. I got extra oxtail but the extra oxtail was 1 piece with lots of gravy & fat for 14$? Like come on. The regular oxtail plate had almost no rice when you see the amount of meat you expect more rice but that's not the case. I'm disappointed.

So...I went basic & tried a beef patty for my first visit & it was OK - lacked Jamaican flava. I tried my friend's veggie patty & that was just downright not good. What I will give five stars for is the amazing sorrel drink as it was definitely hitting! I will come back & give this place another try & select the oxtail & see if that has the Jamaican flavor I'm looking for.
I couldn't stop eating. Ordered an oxtail plate to go but decided to sit down to give it a taste. 10 mins later my food is gone. Great staff, tasty food & great portions. If you want to taste the islands check this hidden gem out!
Came here to try the oxtail poutine & it did not disappoint!! The price may seem steep for poutine but the portion is huge & they do not skimp on the oxtail. There was more meat than what a lot of places actually serve in an oxtail plate, & while the poutine could have used more curds, the flavours more than made up for it! I'd actually love to see them offer a smaller version of the plate because while delicious, I probably wouldn't order it for just myself as the portion is so big. We also decided to try a beef patty which had a perfect flakey pastry & delicious filling. They definitely seem to be doing West Indian & Jamaican food right here & I wouldn't hesitate to try more of their menu. Highly recommend!
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
Lloydies on Crescent St was the best Caribbean food I've ever had, so I was a lil disappointed when it didn't hit the same at this location. My oxtail was all bones & very little meat. Overall dish was a little too salty. Had to get a side of coleslaw to help balance it out. Best thing I had was their house-made lemonade.
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.
