Service: There was one lady who was running the whole show. She was polite and worked as fast as…read moreshe could. She suggested a few dishes I might like. Decor: It has a Jamaican feel. Lots of colors and Bob Marley-esque paintings. Food: I have never had Jerk chicken before this time so I don't have much to compare it to. Tasted like it was a home made deal. Considering I was watching her make it, I would say it is almost home made. Review: I would visit again just for the cultural experience. There were 2 guys in the restaurant that were a bit shaddy, but there isn't much you can do about the other patrons. All in all, a good experience considering you're in downtown Barrie. Reason for stars: I give it 3 stars as the food was good and it was good value. I had enough that I could not finish it all in 1 seating. The prices were reasonable as well.

Sometimes the food tastes better than at other times. The…read morebest coleslaw I've ever had. Good take-out.

I was so happy to finally see a place downtown that sells real, authentic Beef Patties, not the…read morefrozen kind that you can buy in a grocery store. I wasn't disappointed! The Patties are very good with just the right amount of heat and the pastry is super flaky. I've been known to stop in 2 -3 times a week for a Patty. If you're lucky sometimes you can get them super fresh, just made, never frozen. The Patties have been revamped - MORE filling! Sadly, some of the kick has been removed. Their Curry Goat is to die for!! The goat just melted in my mouth. So tender. The next time you're walking along Dunlop Street drop in to the Patty Hut, say Hi and enjoy an awesome Patty!! They also serve other Caribbean foods as well. You won't be disappointed; I sure wasn't!!

My review is regarding food bought from The Irie Jerk Restaurant purchased while they were selling…read moreat TD Jerkfest - at Centennial Park on Sunday August 13. I purchased a small, what was supposed to have been "jerk chicken" and plain rice. The chicken did not taste like jerk but rather stewed chicken with scotch bonnet pepper rubbed on it. The rice was between cooked and not.....with uncooked grains through out. The meal was $10 for (1 piece of chicken ie. the upper part of the leg only + plain rice). The chicken was over cooked one side hard and the other side black literally burnt. I was so upset that a supposed known business would dear to sell a meal to anyone in such a condition. I'll tell you the portion size was not worth $10. I definitely would not purchase food from this restaurant ever again, whether at a festival, nor from their restaurant. I'm attaching pictures to show the burnt chicken.....see what I'm referring to. I don't routinely write reviews but feel very strongly about sharing my experience.

I was, therefore, surprised and pleased to fin this spot on the Main Street of Penetanguishine. It got great revues from some locals of Caribbean descent so I,and two others went for lunch recently. the aroma of jerk greeted me as we entered. All the Caribbean staples were available. I had a small oxtail served on rice and peas and a jerk chicken leg because I HAD to try it. My companions had oxtail and jerk pork. The meat was outstanding, the rice and peas were lovely. I got some dumplings to go for the next days breakfast. The place has been open for a year and there was a steady stream of customers coming in as we ate . If you are a fan of Caribbean food and you are in the area I highly recommend a visit.
