When it comes to hearty meals, Allwyn's Jerk shines with their jerk dinners, featuring succulent jerk chicken or pork served atop a bed of flavorful rice and peas. The gravy complements the dish beautifully, while a selection of sides allows you to customize your plate to perfection. And let’s not forget about the oxtail stew that melts in your mouth, or the delicately spiced curry goat, tender and bursting with flavor, all served on the same comforting rice and peas base.

Drinks at Allwyn's complement the meal beautifully, with an assortment of refreshing Caribbean beverages like Ting and Coconut Water, as well as classic sodas to round out your dining experience. Each sip brings you closer to the sunny shores of Jamaica!

But don't just take our word for it; customers have been raving about their experiences! Chris Payne shares, “I love the renovation! The patties, the pork, the chicken, ugh it’s all so good. I’ve been eating here since living down the street a few years ago.” Ahmed Ragab exclaims, “The best jerk chicken hands down at this location specifically! They don’t miss!” Even Killa Kam appreciates the authentic charm, noting the cute setup and tasty oxtail, although he mentions it’s not the quintessential dine-in experience.

I love the renovation! The patties, the pork, the chicken, ugh- it’s all so so good. I’ve been eating here since living down the street a few years ago. The stuffed patty sandwich is an Etobicoke goat.

The best jerk chicken hands down at this location specifically! Both their platters and sandwiches! I always make it a destination spot whenever visit anywhere remotely close to here, even if I have to detour my route it’s always worth it! They don’t miss! Again, at this location specifically. I’ve gone to others that just tasted like a Costco chicken sandwich which was a disappointment tbh

Little Shop, cute and authentic. Not a Dine-In place though. Service was okay, as expected. Lady simply asked what would you like, and got it for you. ONLY DEBIT available ** Food was okay. The stuffed sandwich consists of patty and coco bread with chicken, plantain and cheese and gravy. Overall it tasted alright, 7/10. Oxtail with rice and peas and plantain was 8/10. Good Portion and tasted good, not outstandingly great, but good. Curry Goat with rice and peas and coleslaw was 7.5/10. It definitely could of been more flavourful. Coleslaw was bland but the portion was decent and I was left satisfied. Would probably go with another option next time. The bbq chicken looked good. Prices are a bit steep however. But may return, not anytime soon though.
