George’s Tastee Bakery & Deli

This location is terrible. Ordered 2 beef spicy patties and the patties were dry. Their other locations (Donmills and also Mccowan) makes much better patties.
Also, the old lady working there at the cashier was rude. If your unhappy with your job then you should quit.
Won’t be coming back to this location.

I was driving by through this industrial area and noticed this place was busy, so it got my attention I should stop here for lunch. Was at the tail end of the rush so no lines but the tables were mostly occupied.
There are 2 different line ups and cashiers– one was the hot food for sandwiches and jerk food and the other is for the patties and bread/​bakery. So I went to both to satisfy my stomach’s curiosity. Got 6 pack of patties beef & veg with normal spice, and the special jerk chicken with extra sauce (as other Unilocalers suggested).
Please note: The dinner comes with either choice of slaw OR rice, REALLY? This is where stars were lost, as the combo of slaw to cut the curry sauce is key with the essential rice & peas, you cannot pick just one but both need to be part of the meal. I did takeout and he did a great job filling the box until it managed to just close. Another star lost was for the filling of the patty. There’s enough so when you bite, you don’t lose any filling but lacking that your mouth is questioning this surprise. Normal was not spicy enough for me, I thought I was average spice level but I guess I should have asked for the next level up. The jerk was also a mild spice, but this extreme winter chill may be to blame for my taste buds.
I was however very pleased with the service, not sure if they were the owners (3 ppl served me) but they were very friendly and polite and because of this I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. There’s also a loyalty stamp card, but 10 dinners get one free.

My go to place for hearty jerk pork on rice and beef patties! At least once a week visit here when my work was just down the street. Portions are big and they never skimp on the gravy. Dine-​in portion is definitely better than take out as they’re limited to size of the container (although they pack in as much as they can). Friendly staff as well!

$ 7 a dozen patties is probably the cheapest in town. The bread is also very cheap. Hardo bread for $ 2.75. The patties aren’t as good as Allen’s or as filled with meat as michidean’s. However the price is a LOT cheaper.
I was dying of hunger; so I grabbed the chicken dinner as well. Generally, as hungry as I was anything tastes amazing. The portion was good, however the chicken was off. Its just not as flavourful as I would expect. The chicken was nice and moist and fall off the bone; but it didnt taste the freshest.
Thank the almighty that I asked for hot sauce (SPICY!!!) and lots of gravy. Saved my meal!

Grabbed a few goodies from here.
Got one extra spicy beef patty $ 1.35 each — I have never had a beef patty which I thought was spicy. This one was a tiny bit spicy only even though they call it extra spicy. The outer shell was not really flaky and the inside was not really juicy. A decent patty. I still got a dozen frozen patty’s which I think was $ 7.99.
Also got an oxtail rice and peas meal for about $ 10. Price is on the lower end when comparing with other places. The oxtail was not spicy and was not really fall off the bone tender. There was a lot of extra fat left on the oxtail too which made it more difficult to eat. Not that impressed with the oxtail meal.
Finally I also grabbed some kind of coconut pastry dessert. Tasted pretty good. Its the same kind of sweet coconut shavings that you find in those Chinese coconut buns. Overall, its a decent Caribbean food joint.

These guys have been around for so many years! Their patties are amazing… but their Jerk Pork dinners are an explosion of flavours! They are paired with their rice and beans a classic staple! The parking lot is always full and the staff is always friendly.
Note… if you’re on your phone while in line you won’t be served! So stay off it to keep the line moving. Alot of hungry customers are waiting don’t hold up the line

Best jerk in the area. Pork w/​Oxtail gravy is incredible. Patties are also a family fave!

Huge portions of so-​so jerk
Decent beef patty (Extra spicy isn’t very spicy)
Rice n’ Peas OR slaw with the «dinner» (not both which is the norm)
Insane parking and lineups during the lunch hour
Slow service at the 2^nd cash (which is the only one that accepts debit)
Make a point of going at 11:45 and you’ll beat the lines but you’ll have a hard time exiting with the hordes of people coming in.

Decent jerk chicken & pork.
The chicken was definetly moist but the skin tasted bland and soft no crisp at all.
The pork on the other hand… i personally think that it tastes better. Has more flavor and probably cause it was so fatty!
The rice and beans was too soft for my likings.
I can tell that this place is definetly a hit because it took me 30mins to find a spot. And not to mention people just kept going in the restaurant/​bakery anyway.
IMO the food is decent. But i definetly recommend you to try this place first!

I love their jerk chicken and jerk pork so much, especially their gravy, is very tasty.

Not sure what these Unilocalers are excited about. The food was mediocre at best. I had the Grilled Chicken sandwich. The chicken was pre cooked and only grilled to achieve the grill marks. I watched the cook grilled the buns, but some how it was still cold.
The prices were fair… I guess everyone love the sausage rolls.

Oxtail dinner is great! No msg and is full of flavour. Buns are traditional so is always good.
Family run business, owners are really friendly and the place gets rather busy around lunch and dinner times.

By far the best oxtail dinner ever! At one point I was coming in here at least 2 or 3 times a week for the oxtail… yes, its that good!
All their dinners (jerk chicken, jerk pork) are a great deal. Huge portions of juicy, tender, flavorful chicken or pork and rice & peas.
The jerk pork sandwich and subs are great too when I’m not in the mood for food overload!
I work in the area but have even brought my family down here for a Saturday lunch to let them enjoy!

I grew up eating Tastee’s delicious Jamaican beef patties throughout my whole life. It was really my first exposure to authentic Jamaican cuisine. I have always drove by this place thinking it was only the factory that produces the patties. So, when I actually walked by, I decided to finally check it out for lunch. I was amazed of how reasonably priced and how delicious the food is at this place. The jerk pork that everyone has been clamoring about has not disappointed. The meat is tender and juicy is very well complimented with the gravy. So, if you were looking for a quick lunch or snack, then swing by Tastee’s, and you will not be disappointed.

What a great little place off the beaten path! Amazing Jerk Pork Sandwich!
Tastee Bakery is this small little bakery (though not so small inside) that is camouflaged amongst all these small businesses. The bakery offers up Jamaican food like Jerk Pork and Jamaican Patties. Also offers Western staples like breakfast sandwiches (served til 3pm!) and burgers. Decent sized dining area and fresh baked bread as well.
The Jerk Pork Sandwich ($ 3.95)is what the review is based on. This sandwich earned my 4 star vote. It’s not that it was made with special ingredients or prepared delicately in front of me. Not at all. It was a very friendly cook who grabbed a warm soft roll (it was incredible), and stuffed it with forkful after forkful of jerk rubbed, moist, and tender pork shoulder.
The bread was an incredibly soft and thin warm roll with a slightly harder exterior (It’s basically like Cuban bread, but I’m not sure how many Torontonians have had Cuban bread…) The jerk pork was chunks of pork shoulder that was so tender and juicy. There were pieces of meat that had a nice chunk of fat attached to it, but the good kind of fat that adds taste and moisture to a sandwich. Flavor is incredible but not spicy. You can ask for a special «gravy» that would add a bit more kick to the sandwich. Worth it.
There was also no way I was going to leave without grabbing a Jamaican Patty. There are about 4 – 5 varying degrees of heat, but I opted with the Regular Spicy. Not really a kick at all, so if you want spicy, go for the hottest. The crust was flaky, but the filling was alright. Not bad for a buck, but no reason to go out of your way to get one.
Overall, wonderful little place for a quick lunch. Food is prepared early and is served from a hot counter. I came early which may explain the sheer moistness of the meat, but I would come at any time for another Jerk Pork Sandwich. Definitely worth a try, especially for so cheap!

If you like Jamaican or specifically meat patty or jerk chicken, this is the place for you. It is set up as fast food type place and the food itself is fairly inexpensive. The portions are generous and you can also treat it a bit like a grocery store as they have frozen items and bread for sale as well.
Overall a great place to go for lunch or dinner for some authentic Jamaican cuisine

The husband and I are always in search for a good Jamaican restaurant and I think we found our go to spot in Toronto.
Daily specials are flashed on a monitor next to the main menu. On this being our first visit, we decided to go with the oxtail, jerk chicken and beef patties. All of which became favorites.
Overall no complaints from me. We’ll definitely head back here the next time we’re in town.

Great jerk. I always get the jerk chicken dinner, $ 10 total with drink and tax. So damn good.
Also has breakfast and burger-​type options as well. Seating area isn’t great but it does the job.
Connected to a beef patty bakery /​grocery, containing all traditional Caribbean items.
CASH ONLY unless you’re spending over $ 10.

If your craving Jerk Pork, this is the place to go! I wouldn’t make a special trip out of, but if your in the area, you may want to come here for a quick bite.
They also sell frozen patties/​meals so if you want to bulk stock on patties, they are well priced here.
This place is a bakery that makes fresh Hardo Bread and Patties daily.
Not your typical place to take a date but you will leave here full!

Went to Tastee’s for lunch with a pal. First of all, I had no idea how big it was in there. Lots of tables for patrons. I just assumed it was just a huge@$$ bakery factory with no seats.
The jerk pork is quite delicious. If you order the medium it’d come w/​pilaf rice (actually i’m not sure what type of rice it was but it reminds me of pilaf lmao). It was about $ 5.99 or 6.99. My friend had to pack it for lunch the next day. I ordered a burger (approx $ 3.50) and it wasn’t bad ! Almost like Harveys aka I know i’m probably not eating an odd part of a cow (at least i hope!)…it was good :) Next time I’ll try the jerk chicken ! I found the jerk pork had a bit of fat on it… no biggie just cut it out.
Service was alright & they were all very polite. I would def. come back for lunch again as it’s semi close to my office.
Parking — lots of space in the lot but I would suggest backing in so it won’t be as difficult for you to leave afterwards.
They take debit but only if you order over $ 10.
