P Jay's Jamaican Take-Out

Stay away rip off. Order the large oxtail got 6 pieces the rest rice. Always skeptical of Caribbean places at this pint as they are all racist. I always see pack meat in everyone else's dish. They're done just ripping people off till they bankrupt. It's the cultre of them.

Note: Cash only. No seats available, takeout only. Food was incredible and fairly priced, 5/5. Tried the jerk chicken and oxtail, both were absolutely amazing. Oxtail was fall off the bone. Jerk chicken was juicy and deeply flavourful - the best jerk chicken I’ve tried so far. Rice had nicely soaked up the gravy, very rich and deep flavours. Visiting however is quite inconvenient. I recommend going in the middle of the day for lunch. Have tried previously visiting closer to end of day (1 hour before closing) but they had already ran out of jerk chicken. Also, payment accepted is cash and there are no ATMs nearby.

first time leaving a negative review :( bought a dozen frozen — filling was not spread out and was filled with mostly wet gelatin barely any meat. patty was super flimsy and fell apart by halfway. i heard great things about this place and was excited to try but my family and i were super disappointed and confused

CASH ONLY. I wanted to buy a box of patties but I ended up just getting 2 because that’s all the cash I had. Though the patties tasted good, I was EXTREMELY let down by the quality. See the pictures for yourself, the patties were dinky, and there was barely any filling. Before I could even put the patty in my mouth the pastry was already falling apart… certainly the quality has gone down since I last visited. I’m hoping that management would consider the other similar reviews to this one and make the adjusted necessary to serve their paying customers better. Unfortunately, this experience was a disappointing one and experiences like this is what causes business to lose loyal and new customers.

This is one of the better places to get your Jamaican beef patties in the Greater Toronto Area. Their patties remind me a lot of Randys and if what I have been told is true, that’s because the recipe is similar as the owner of PJays is related to Randys. Their crust are soft and their filling on point. I just wish there was more filling as the crust area is bigger than other patties I eaten. They also serve other Caribbean dishes like Jerk Chicken and Oxtail but I have yet to try them. The place is located in a nondescript plaza. There’s sufficient parking but be aware that there’s no signage as to where the store is located. Make sure to bring cash as they don’t take Debit or Credit Cards.

Not sure if they have new people making the patties but I have been going here for a lot of years and they are not the same. First of all, there was almost no filling and of that filling there was almost no meat, mostly gelatin. Second of all, they were not spicy. I wouldn't even call it mild. Third of all, the patties were way, way too salty. I mean box of salt flavour. Someone must have tipped the salt over by accident because nobody in their right mind would use that much salt. Two of us were driving down the road and couldn't finish them, chucking patties out the car window. It's a real shame and it was a waste of money. The pastry was excellent though and maybe you should back the salt off in that too. I felt sick after for about 1 hour. Ok, new better baker n more meat. Update 2024 : Recently I went back and they have fixed the patties. Just as good as ever. Craving patties and going back again today. Also, that is not my hand in the photo with the werewolf fingernails, that is the driver.

We came by P Jays Take-Out last week-end and we were thrilled by the variety of authentic dishes offered and we were very satisfied with our order. We had a small Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat and Cow Foot dinner, a small Peas Stew and a couple of Beef Patties. Overall, the food was flavorful and well-cooked. Perhaps, a little less spicy than other places but, that was just fine for us. Also, the small dinner portions were quite filling with a good amount of meat so, we think that the value was reasonable. The service was very friendly and it didn’t take long to get our order ready.

3.5* better than ok. Got the jerk chicken. Certainly has good flavors, but I found that the chicken was a little dry. Not just the skin, but rather the actual meat underneath. Maybe because it's the first week in January and business isn't as busy and hence the chicken was left longer. Don't know. The Cole slaw salad was fresh and good. For the price to proportions, it was a little more expensive. The beef patty was ok. Small, but the crust was flaky and thin.
