From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen delivers a vibrant culinary journey with its "amazing Jamaican food" and "authentic vibe." The lively atmosphere is perfect for casual dates or group gatherings. While the portions can be small, the flavors are "hands down" some of the best, with standout dishes like jerk chicken and curry goat. Service is generally friendly, though occasionally slow. The ambiance and drinks create an enjoyable, upbeat dining experience in Toronto.

    Server crammed us between two other tables. Refused to accommodate us anywhere else despite open tables. Food was ok. Chicken was quite dry. The quality has unfortunately gone done since I first started coming year a few years ago…

    Cute spot that has the vibe chech - I loved the detail to the decor, furniture booths and artwork. However, I didn’t get to enjoy this as much as we were cramped into a 2 seater table that really shouldn’t have been a spot. Our chairs barely fit to be pulled out against a cramped wall and the table was wobbling like crazy. The jerk chicken was the star alongside the slaw that was refreshing and brought the zing. Oxtail w rice was served in 2 separate bowls which seemed just odd not really like full entree (very pricy for a small bowl of mostly bones), I wish there was more beans to the rice. Plantains were a hit.
