Yardies - Pickering

It’s my go to spot in Pickering, it’s close to my home. The last thing I ordered was the jerk chicken, rice and peas with oxtail gravy with a side of coleslaw. It was all very delicious! I will say that the rice and peas were a tad bit spicy, as was the coleslaw. I love spice but it has to make sense! I would most definitely go there and order it again. We also order the black cake for Christmas and it is really good, moist and delicious. It doesn’t last in our home very long!

Have been to both locations, last time I went it was the Brock st location and I ordered a Large Curry chicken. Polite and friendly staff, food was served quick, fresh and hot . All was good except the plantin, it was very dry for some reason. That minor issue would not prevent me from returning .

I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is consistently excellent any of day of the week, and the staff are so kind. I've had my fair share of j chicken over the decades and this might be the best of the best!

Who knew you could pack so much flavor into coleslaw. I learn something new every day. Plus, I found a Jamaican restaurant that actually serves yellow yam! If only I could get this at a Yardie price or at least a toonie Tuesday ?

I tried the J Chicken with Rice Peas and it was pretty good. The chicken tasted fresh and tender but I was a little disappointed with the coleslaw, which ended up just being cooked onions.I'm unsure if I'll be back here, but it was definitely worth trying!
