The jerk chicken bowl was incredibly tasty, a solid 5-star meal for sure.

Mainly a takeout food place with fast service. Come here hungry their dishes are all amazing and good filling food. I personally love their jerk chicken bowl I get it for lunch and don't need much for dinner that day. This place is real wholesome food!

Not a happy customer right now. For the second time at this location, I was refused a sandwich. I asked that they not give me the bread. It could easily go in their take out container as i have done this several times before. I did not ask for a discount. I was told they could not give me the sandwich and not include the bread. Not sure where the common sense has gone.i live in the neighborhood and used to love stopping by for a quick bite. Could someone please fix this unnecessary and unreasonable glitch? Thank you.

So good, there was over 30 uber eats pre orders before they were even open. You already know it was gonna be good. Had the jerk chicken and the coconut pepper shrimp, flavours were there and hit the spot.

They have gotten really stingy over the years with their portions. Ordered a large jerk chicken bowl and got a bowl with 1/3 coleslaw and barely 2 cm of rice. Abhorrent

The best. Coming back here again and again for years. But please don’t get tempted with shrinking portions. Could be a one off here and there but I’m seeing a little bit. Don’t ruin a good thing!
Scotty Bon’s Caribbean Grill — A Flavorful Escape in a Bowl
Scotty Bon’s has become one of my go-to spots in Toronto when I’m craving real Caribbean comfort food that’s both flavorful and thoughtfully presented. I especially love their signature bowls, which are a genius way to experience all the best parts of a Jamaican meal in one dish.
The portions are generous — the rice perfectly cooked, the plantains always sweet and caramelized, and the jerk chicken tender with just the right amount of heat. Each bowl feels like it’s been put together with care, balanced between spicy, savory, and sweet. The Jerk Chicken Bowl is my favorite, but the Curry Chicken and oxtail bowls are also worth trying if you want variety or a lighter option.
The flavors are authentic but modern — not too greasy, and the presentation is surprisingly clean for casual dining. My only small critique is that sometimes the service can feel a bit rushed during busy hours, but the food more than makes up for it.
If you love Caribbean food or want to try something fresh and hearty, Scotty Bon’s bowls will leave you satisfied, happy, and definitely planning your next visit.
Glad this brand opened a location downtown as I was trying to get to the Scarborough one for some time but it was out of my way, especially after leaving the province. I like the fresh format Scotty Bon's presents Caribbean cuisine in. Cocobread sandwiches aren't a common offering in Caribbean restaurants from my past experience so I had to go for the Jerk chicken sandwich and I loved it. The variety of flavourful toppings really makes each bite an island adventure. The service is quick and good. Pricing was fair too. I'm not in Toronto too many times a year these days but if I ever returned I'd love to try one of their bowls.
