Georgina has the best patties around- she'll joke that they are not jamaican patties- they are Canadian patties Jamaican style- me? They're Georgina's patties.
simply perfection. piping hot, fresh and delicious. In a couple months she's going to be moving, but within the same building, I think. Please please support the deliciousness at here and go give her a visit! -

Is the Patty spicy? I asked the women as she passed the Patty to me.
The Patty is TASTY[sic]. As I take my Patty hesitantly as she replied.
She reconfirms me that it's a Beef Patty, as I would hate to find it Veg.
Beef Patty($1.50)
The Flaky Pastry had a Skydome(now Rogers Centre) Dome shape that gives it 3-dimensions rather than the 1-dimension flatness I've grown up on. Maybe it's luck of the draw, who knows. Not really spicy and somewhat mushy Meat filling inside.Listed in: I'm the real JERK

the Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
The Caribbean Patty Queen makes some of the best authentic Caribbean dishes in the city. Try the patties once, and you'll be taking home a box of 12 ($10.99) before you know it. Try a lunch special: usually some delicious stewed meat on rice for around $5. It's the Queen that makes this place so great, and the warm and friendly smile on her face that you've seen in newspapers over the years hasn't changed.
I understand that she might be moving locations soon, but I'll leave the review up here so everyone can stop in and grab lunch or a patty before she moves on.
(I would recommend the roti, but she's a few steps away from Vena's. Tough luck!)

Awesome patties for a great price!! Best pattie i've ever tried (mind you, i've only had patties at like 3 or 4 other places before and one was a school cafeteria). Can't wait to try the rest of their menu.

Review from Vespertine B.

Quite popular in the neighbourhood! Authentic homecooking style food. This is mostly a take out place though there is a really small seating area. The goat is basically a pile of spicy meat wrapped in flat bread. The Ox tail is also a lot of tender spicy meat, with lots of rice. The chicken curry is loaded with delicious veggies. I get take out here a lot and for under $15, it usually makes two meals!

Easily the best beef patties in the city. Fresh, handmade and available in either mild or spicy (with vegetarian & chicken options available at times).
Be prepared to possibly wait for your patties - although the owner bakes a few times per day, each batch sells out quick (during busy times there can be a line waiting for each batch as they come out of the oven). -

This unassuming little shop on Bloor between Dufferin and Lansdowne sells the most delicious beef patties that I have ever tasted. The pastry is flaky but moist and the filling is seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of spice to give the patties some zip but not be overpowering. I have never once encountered any gristle in the patties and they are not greasy or oily at all. I'm a healthy eater and two patties is more than enough to fill me up for lunch for a grand total of $3. This is one of the most incredible food values I've ever experienced. What's also worth mentioning is the delightful demeanour of the woman behind the counter. A beaming smile and kind word await anyone coming in to The Caribbean Queen.

This has to be one of the best places to get beef patties in the city. The lady who runs the shop makes them fresh several times a day by the looks of things. They are excellent. The shop sells other Jamacian food as well, though I haven't had any yet. There is no place to sit down and eat, the shop is strictly for take-out. Patties are a dollar each, or you can get 12 for 9 dollars.
