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!!

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.
Amazing food & service. I am a regular at this place. I always get my lunch from here when I am too busy to cook.
Why I love this place:
1. tasty food
2. good portions
3. affordable meals even after tax
4. clean & fresh
5. great & friendly staff
6. amazing customer service if you have any issue with food or payment. The manager comes to listen to you directly!
Really cute authentic caribbean vibe - reminded my of my uncle's house. Food was fantastic - great portions, hot, flavourful, varied. The plantain was Perfect. The staff were friendly & helpful, & the place was super clean & comfortable.
Honestly pretty good. The jamaican patties were definitely a bit too dry in my opinion & they didn't have any oxtail on the menu which I really wanted to try but the pork jerk was good as well as the beans & rice & plantin !
I really enjoy visiting this place & the beef patties are amazing. However, the person with the blue hair is not friendly & has a very depressing attitude when customers ask simple questions I may avoid & shop only when I see other staff working. Thank you for the delicious food.
I moved outside of Montreal & find it really hard to find Lloydie's patties in grocery stores around me. So when I was recently in Montreal I went to Lloydie's & was disappointed to learn that the store does not stock frozen patties. This does not make sense. Please add a freezer to your store. I'm sure that lots of clients would appreciate it. & you will make extra $$$. Thanks, love the spicy beef !
Il y a vraiment longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé à un restaurant jamaïcain aussi délicieux que cela, Lloydie's Saint-Henri est une référence pour super service & puis son délicieux poulet jerk & porc jerk. Nous avons pris une assiette de chaque & vraiment aucun regret puisque la nourriture était succulente & savoureuse! Ils sont les spécialistes des repas réconfortants vraiment délicieux! Leur boisson fait maison sont un must à prendre en compagnie de leur mets. Félicitations Lloydie's vous méritez amplement votre 5 étoiles!
