Best patties hand down. And I’ve tried many to see if it could dethrone PJays. I’m still looking. And I have several friends I introduced to PJays who agrees. :) The oxtail is REALLY good too!!

Not sure if they have new people making the patties but I have been going here for a lot of years and they are not the same. First of all, there was almost no filling and of that filling there was almost no meat, mostly gelatin. Second of all, they were not spicy. I wouldn't even call it mild. Third of all, the patties were way, way too salty. I mean box of salt flavour. Someone must have tipped the salt over by accident because nobody in their right mind would use that much salt. Two of us were driving down the road and couldn't finish them, chucking patties out the car window. It's a real shame and it was a waste of money. The pastry was excellent though and maybe you should back the salt off in that too. I felt sick after for about 1 hour. Ok, new better baker n more meat. Update 2024 : Recently I went back and they have fixed the patties. Just as good as ever. Craving patties and going back again today. Also, that is not my hand in the photo with the werewolf fingernails, that is the driver.

If the only Jamaican Patty you've had is a mass produced one from a convenience store, then make sure you swing by and have a real one.

Grabbed some food from PJays today and I’ve been going here over 35 years. Since that time I’ve tried all the fancy new places that have opened up around the city including Patois, Chubby’s and Miss Likkle More’s. Hands down PJays has the best oxtail in the city! It bests even Miss Likkle More’s $70 oxtail dish. It’s consistently great. Not sure how much longer Patrick will continue to keep this place going, but I remember my Dad taking me here when I was a child and hope I can continue to bring my kids here for years to come to give them a taste of “back home”.

I had a deep appreciation for PJs, but lately, the magic is gone.Firstly, the decline in the quality of PJ's soups is undeniable, ( low or no ingredients) has left me reconsidering my loyalty to this once-beloved spot.Secondly , the staff often exude an air of inconvenience, as if your presence is seen as an extra effort rather than a welcomed paying customer.Franky, It's disheartening to see a favorite spot like PJ's fall from grace.A so it go

What Lorenzo Eats

This is one of the better places to get your Jamaican beef patties in the Greater Toronto Area. Their patties remind me a lot of Randys and if what I have been told is true, that’s because the recipe is similar as the owner of PJays is related to Randys.Their crust are soft and their filling on point. I just wish there was more filling as the crust area is bigger than other patties I eaten. They also serve other Caribbean dishes like Jerk Chicken and Oxtail but I have yet to try them.The place is located in a nondescript plaza. There’s sufficient parking but be aware that there’s no signage as to where the store is located.Make sure to bring cash as they don’t take Debit or Credit Cards.

Their patties remind me so much of Randy's and I have been told that the owner of this place and Randy's are related. Maybe that's the reason that their patties taste so good. They also sell other Caribbean dishes besides patties. Unfortunately, I have yet to try them. The place in a ubiquitous plaza, with no visible signage of where the place is. Just follow the smell and you won't be disappointed. Their patties have a thinner crust and the filling is not as packed but they taste so good. It's one of the best patty place in the GTA.

Ordered rice and peas with oxtail. Meat was very fatty and rice was mushy like baby food. Did not enjoy it at all. Their patties and soups are delicious though.

Really great Jamaican food. Ox tail was probably the best I've ever had, fall off the bone tender and flavorful, curry goat was also delicious, soup is excellent as well.

Ordered the curry goat on rice and beans. The goat was very tender and had a lot of flavor. The small size seemed very small to me but they do try to pack a lot into it. Not sure if that was coleslaw or just supposed to be plain shredded cabbage, but I would have preferred a creamy coleslaw.I also ordered some of their patties which are pretty good.Not sure if I would go out of my way to order from here but would stop by if I'm passing through and was craving some Carribean food.
