Why we love it

Executive chef: Dadrian Coke

2022

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.

The mango salad and oxtail stew were terrific- hands down, the best I've had in Toronto and Niagra Falls this summer. The food was afforbaly price. However, service could have been a little better but I would definitely return.

We have always loved Chubbys and are returning Customers but our last visit was very disappointing till we even asked if their was a new chef. The red pea soup was horrible, we had to return it. No flavor and very watery. The hostess told us that the chef forgot to season it when they reheated it. Not sure why they would season after it's cooked most usually season while cooking. Curry Chicken had a weird taste to it not sure what it was but we didn't finish it. The salt fish fitters had no salt fish that we could taste. No rum punch available!! The fish was great. It kind of turned us off of Chubbys for awhile and maybe try another restaurant

The ambience and food was great. Great New Orleans restaurant vibe atmosphere. However, the service was underrated. Took server s ome time to even come to our table and when he did come upstairs he took the party next to us, order first and they sat after us. Took a while getting our food to us. Half the party was served and done eating by the time the rest of our party received their food. Not sure if understaffed was the issue. One employee mentioned the kitchen was backed up. Had they mentioned that to us when we first sst down we would have been more understanding and given the opportunity to stay or leave. Outside of that it was a great vibe!
