About Express

The Caribbean Express in Barrie offers delicious Jamaican cuisine, known for its standout curry roti and beef patty. The restaurant also features popular dishes like jerk chicken – described as the best in Barrie – with rice and peas and slaw, and doubles. The highly recommended oxtail is super tender and best enjoyed with extra gravy. This is a small, tucked-away place with a lively atmosphere. The restaurant is located by the waterfront, providing a scenic view, but indoor seating is limited, making it more of a takeout spot. The owners are friendly and down-to-earth, contributing to the welcoming ambiance. The quick service and quality of food make it worth visiting. The restaurant has recently added a delicious vegan bean and potato curry with clapped roti to the menu. Customers highly recommend checking this place out, with one reviewer stating the Roti is the best they've ever had.

The best jerk chicken I’ve ever had. Best of Barrie for sure and coming from Toronto I’d say he’s got them beat down there too. You won’t be disappointed. Been coming here for over 2 years and if anyone ever asks me restaurant recommendations this is the ONLY spot I recommend. Can’t beat the lunch special!

Stopped in for lunch and was really impressed by the vibe! the store instantly makes you feel like you've been transported to the islands, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming
​As for the food, the jerk chicken was absolutely on poin, tender, rich, and full of flavours. the only downside was that the rice and peas with gravy lacked a bit of flavour today, I’ve been told that’s not normally the case, so I’ll definitely be coming back to give it...read full review

5 stars isn't enough!!!!
The shrimp roti was absolutely delicious! The shrimp and potatoes were seasoned to perfection, and the roti shell was incredibly soft and fresh. As a Caribbean girl from Toronto, I’m very particular about authentic Caribbean food, and I’m so happy I finally found a spot that delivers those real Caribbean flavours.
Everything tasted homemade and full of flavour. I’ll definitely be ordering again—and again! Highly recommend...read full review
