Review On The Beach Caribbean Restaurant - Pickering

Jerk chicken was a bit dry and needed sauce and more flavour. The rice was bland, i asked for sauce but it there was nothing really there. I came here based on the high reviews and was very disappointed.

What an incredible place to eat! Its small and would go totally unnoticed. The food and the service are absolutely amazing! Can't say enough about this place. We had the oxtail and curry goat, wow!! The home made Sorrel was fantastic! Definitely recommended!

Went there on a Sunday afternoon for the first time, and had roast chicken and vegetables, as well as oxtail and ackee. The oxtail could have used a little more spice, but everything else was excellent! Ackee was some of the best I've had. Nice, pleasant atmosphere in the store, and we'll definitely return.

great ambiance, good music and great food. worth the drive. Owner Dorothy is lovely lady and really has people sense. will bring more people there.

Other so called restaurant out there advertising authentic jamaican food....well mek mi tell you seh this place is next to being on the island. The place is clean and we'll kept. The service is great and the food is ......Mek mi a water at di mouth. Definitely the place to eat in or take out. Respect to the owner and staff.

Lovely and clean. People are really nice. The food is ok.

Awful I got the jerk pork and my pork was cold like it just came out of the fridge. Rice and pease were tasteless and the restaurant had an unpleasant odour

Stay away

A bit slow, but that's part of the charm as they are warm and friendly and make you feel at home.  Authentic, well done and even our extraordinarily picky child can't get enough of the fried chicken.  I'm partial to the Jerk Chicken myself.  Great spot.

The woman who runs this restaurant is very friendly and always a pleasure to see. My favourite thing from here is the oxtail combo, which comes with delicious rice, a coleslaw, and roasted potatoes. All of the food is excellent quality, and I love going there for my lunch break at work.

Clean, Bright, Tasty & Friendly. I love their rice and peas. I love the fact that the oils used are trans fat free and that the plantains (when avlbl) are not over ripe and not greasy like many others. One tip: Never serve the last of the stew out of the pot with bones that the meat have fallen off and still charge full-price for it - only happened once in all my years going here to eat but hope they now know never ever treat customers to left-overs. As far as the space, it is one of the cleanest, brightest, modern looking take-outs that are sit-down spaces that you can actual sit-in comfortably and enjoy a clean look and smell while you eat. Most places are just take-out counters or spend little time making the place look modern, and not smell like cleaning products or under-cleaned. This place has managed to stay clean, modern and fresh smelling over the years. A little more restaurant-type Caribbean decor on walls would improve the place - check out the Thai place next door for classy tips. Ambience attracts a crowd and encourages them to stay which makes others come in if they see a full eatery. My top 3 Caribbean eateries in all the GTA....support them.

A Taste of the Islands. Went there last night with my family. They let you taste their food first, if you're a first-time customer. Jerk Chicken was moist but the Oxtail Stew could have been better. I hope to see some Chinese-Caribbean dishes as well. Owner was very friendly. Will definitely go back.

Nice, pleasant atmosphere in the store, and we'll definitely return.. Went there on a Sunday afternoon for the first time, and had roast chicken and vegetables, as well as oxtail and ackee.
