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.

    First off music was Horrible even after asking our sever .. it’s a Caribbean restaurant and the vibe or energy just wasn’t there and the food was very poor and lack of flavour and plantain cut way to thick … but mostly the music and ambience for me was very poor and maybe get a Dj on weekends or get your playlist up to date and focus more on Caribbean music as it’s a Caribbean restaurant

    Chubby's Restaurant is a hidden gem in Toronto that never fails to impress! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The menu is diverse and packed with mouth-watering dishes. The jerk chicken is a must-try – perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. The plantain chips are the perfect appetizer, crispy and delicious. And let's not forget their rum punch – a delightful cocktail that pairs wonderfully with the vibrant Caribbean cuisine. Every visit to Chubby's is a culinary adventure, and I can't recommend it enough. Whether you're looking for a casual meal with friends or a special dinner, Chubby's delivers exceptional food and service every time.

    Chubby’s provided a beautiful experience as we came from out of town for our anniversary and wanted to find Caribbean cuisine that felt like home. The ambience and customer service were just what we needed for our midday stop from exploring. Vanessa was a delight, and the grape sorbet is a must!
