I ordered the jerk chicken, with brown rice & peas, & plantain. The chicken was done well, with a little kick to it, but not too much. The plantain was cooked well & not dried out. The rice was good but missing gravy which makes a big difference. Make sure to ask for gravy! Other than that, the price was very good.
It wasn't what I expected but the Jamaican food options did hit the spot. I tried the never before heard of jerk pork patty flavor explosion link up which put a big smile on my face. The new form required eating with a knife & fork due to the amount of pork & vegetables stuffed into the patty but in true Jamaican style, I ate it like a boss with my hands & ignored the bits falling back down to the plate in the moment. I won't lie, the main jerk chicken meal did have what takes to be declared authentic Jamaican food. I will definitely go again. My only strife was the lack of a varied beverage options.

You should really try the loaded patty if you can! Didnt see it on the uber eats menu but it was amazing as a regular from here. If you prefer pork , ask if they can do it with that instead! I like the chicken but the pork is my go to.
I've been here twice & the food is full of flavour. It's a fusion of bajan & Jamaican cuisine. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere of the restaurant is vibrant & unique. If you want to satisfy your cravings, the oxtail & jerk chicken are really good. The pepper sauce is spicy & delicious!
I ordered the Jerk Chicken plate. It costs 15$ & it's very good value for money, you get a good amount of food. Chicken is fresh & tasty (could use a bit more spice). Rice is very good & plantains were great too. I also ordered side of mac & cheese which was alright (5$). Service was exceptional. The atmosphere is also really cool & retro.
I would recommend Lloydie's to anyone on the lookout for a hearty Caribbean style meal. I will definitely return soon to try the Jerk Chicken Poutine.
We had lunch on a Wednesday at aroind 2pm & it was quiet. Service was good. The food was delicious, it came really fast! They ran out of Oxtail for the day so we oredered the jerk chicken & fried chicken. They brought my husband the rest of the oxtail they had left in a little bowl! Super nice!! I guess it wasn't enough for a whole order. I also got a beef patty, it was great! It was our first time & it's definitely not our last!!
Back again today ❤? June 1 2025
Was happily greeted by two very happy employees. The jerk meal on point. The patties were good. I need a jerk chicken fix minimum once a month as my hubby can't handle anything with spices or a bit spicy. I always get the hot pepper sauce on the side to greedily dip my chicken into it. Satisfies every craving ❤?
Authentic dishes of the Islands, Oxtail is to die for, the Jerk chicken is on point. Corn bread super moist & has good bounce to it when you bite it - even a plantain poutine was a pleasant surprise. Come back a few times to try everything in the menu, I promise it won't dissapoint.
I see why there is not a lot of Tik tok reviews on this place. Order the jerk chicken & it was just bake chicken no spice at all & it tasted old like it was made the day before . & I grew up eating leftovers wasn't happy about that. Rice was good . Got Mac pic again made days again hard noodles the top was so hard I couldn't even eat it . They need to do better .
Very good however i didn't get any plantains in my order which was the jerk chicken plate & the jerk pork plate. Why no discount for the lack of plantain?

Just ordered a plate from here on Uber eats & felt compelled to write a review right away. This is hands down the best jerk chicken in the sud ouest area. Tender & juicy meat with crispy, well seasoned skin. The plantain was fresh & fried to perfection. Absolute banger & definitely going to order here again soon❤️✅
Cute little spot for Caribbean food, tried the jerk chicken & it was really good, loved the rice too. Patties are also great & prices are really affordable with big portions.
