I hosted a beach themed bachelorette on the weekend and ordered food from here. First of all,…read morediscussing the order with them over the phone was so easy and they were very accommodating! I ordered Rice and peas, jerk chicken, and beef patties as well as salad for 10 people. It was extremely affordable. To be honest, this type of cuisine is something that I don't order frequently so I wasn't sure what to expect. The rice and peas were cooked to perfection and the jerk chicken was probably some of the best jerk chicken I've had in a very long time. I expected it to be a bit dry but there was special sauce and on the phone they mentioned they marinate their meat for over 24 hours! It sure was nice to enjoy a beef patty where you could tell it was handmade versus the frozen ones that I've been feeding myself - haha! Highly recommend enjoying this spot!

One of the only unfortunate things about this place is that it took me so long to try it out!…read moreMoody (the owner) is as congenial as they come, with a friendly greeting and a conversation pretty much guaranteed when you come in. It's a walk-in place only, the atmosphere isn't highly developed -- this gets me excited 'cause I know that means the food is good enough to speak for itself. I can't speak for all the menu items here, but everything I've tried has been delicious! (my favourite being the goat curry roti) In addition, they're open 'til 3am on bar nights and offer "doubles", a classic caribbean snack that's basically a chickpea-pastry sandwich, for only $1.50! Its location in the center of downtown, the friendly service, and the delicious food make this place a must for anyone looking to explore what Guelph has to offer.

I tried the Jerk Pork with rice & peas and vegetables . I enjoyed it so much that I stopped in again...this time with my husband, before we headed back to New York. I ordered the same thing, but this time, I just had to also try their beef patties. My husband had the curry goat and a beef patty too. Once again, everything was delicious.

ivey's is a family-owned restaurant that's been around for 12 years. the exterior and interior are…read moredistinctly yellow, green, and black, asserting that the restaurant is wholly jamaican. there are boxes and an old fridge lying around close to the seating area, and while this may not be aesthetic, i feel like it adds so much to the homey atmosphere. their relatively small menu consists of plenty of jamaican favourites, such as curry chicken, jerk chicken, ox tail, and ackee and saltfish. i opted for the curry chicken special, which was a large serving of food (for me) at an unbeatable $6.50 price tag. the dish is simple - a heap of rice and peas topped with a hearty serving of their curry chicken. the curry was pretty simple in flavour - pieces of tender bone-in chicken with potatoes and bell peppers bathing in a yellow curry-powder-dominant gravy - but went perfectly with the rice and peas. the curry isn't spicy, but it only takes a few drops of their delicious, potent hot sauce (scotch bonnet i believe) to turn up the heat. the best (worst?) part about the hot sauce is that it has a bit of sweetness to it, which made me want more and more, even though it was quickly ripping my palate to shreds. one thing i'd like to note is that the friendly lady working here came to my table and served a placemat and silverware before bringing my food. this is something you won't see at most restaurants, but i don't think anything made me feel more at home than this. ivey's builds the case that family-owned restaurants are better than any new and hip openings. these are the places i want to eat at all the time, and i'll forever support these kinds of places
