    I've been coming to Tastee for many years, all their locations. This one, on Denison is their main production facility where they bake fresh breads and Jamaican patties and also serve up some good Jamaican food. The curry mutton and oxtail are my favourites but they also have jerk chicken, jerk pork, burgers, sandwiches, poutine, and more. They're always busy at lunch time, from the surrounding businesses and I always seem to run into people that I know. It's a meeting place. On this visit, with a couple of friends, we shared some beef patties, oxtail poutine, and a combo of curry mutton and oxtail with rice and peas. The food, as usual, was enjoyable and plentiful. I don't think the oxtail poutine is a regular menu item but beg for it if you have to. It nice!

    I was driving by through this industrial area and noticed this place was busy, so it got my attention I should stop here for lunch. Was at the tail end of the rush so no lines but the tables were mostly occupied. There are 2 different line ups and cashiers- one was the hot food for sandwiches and jerk food and the other is for the patties and bread/bakery. So I went to both to satisfy my stomach's curiosity. Got 6 pack of patties beef & veg with normal spice, and the special jerk chicken with extra sauce (as other Yelpers suggested). Please note: The dinner comes with either choice of slaw OR rice, REALLY?? This is where stars were lost, as the combo of slaw to cut the curry sauce is key with the essential rice & peas, you cannot pick just one but both need to be part of the meal. I did takeout and he did a great job filling the box until it managed to just close. Another star lost was for the filling of the patty. There's enough so when you bite, you don't lose any filling but lacking that your mouth is questioning this surprise. Normal was not spicy enough for me, I thought I was average spice level but I guess I should have asked for the next level up. The jerk was also a mild spice, but this extreme winter chill may be to blame for my taste buds. I was however very pleased with the service, not sure if they were the owners(3 ppl served me) but they were very friendly and polite and because of this I wouldn't hesitate to come back. There's also a loyalty stamp card, but 10 dinners get one free.

    Outside.  They have a restaurant section and a carry and cash area.

    Man I've been on serious Caribbean food crawl recently as half my recent reviews have been from Caribbean joints! Why? Cause it tastes so good that's why! And how can one not talk about Caribbean food in Markham without talking about George's Tastee? This place is a local landmark that has been here forever and still going strong. Not only is this the central hub where their famous Tastee's Patties are made but they also serve solid Jamaican fare such as jerk and pork chicken, curry chicken and mutton and of course oxtail! The patties come in a variety of styles and heat tolerance such as beef, chicken and vegetables. I still prefer the likes of Patty Time and Randy's but they are still solid fare. They also have a large variety of baked goods such such as hardo bread and there is even a cash and carry area where you can buy patties in bulk. Over the years they have opened up satellite stores but this is where the original has been all these years as many of the people who come here for lunch are locals who work in the area. Solid 4/5 for some classic Jamaican food!

    $1.50 per patty, $7.25 half a dozen, $12.25 for a dozen beef patties. Tastee's pretty much sells the standard beef patty, which in my experience had a more thin and crispy crust. I wish it had more beef filling, seemed a little on the light side. There is a "cash and carry" section of the restaurant / bakery and a cafeteria style section where you can order jerk chicken as well.

    Either this place has improved since my last review in 2015, or it's really grown on me. Although, it's not as authentic and doesn't quite have the pungency of some of the other places in the hood, (their jerk gravy is more akin to an American beef gravy IMO), their portions are huge, the jerk pork, my favourite, is tender and the optional hot pepper paste is dynamite!

    Regular Spicy Beef Patty
    Nancy T.

    I went to business seminar this morning and beef patties were provided as snacks. It is sooo good that I bought a box on my way home. You can buy cooked patty $7.25 for 6 or a box of frozen patty. It comes with non-spicy, regular spicy, and extra spicy

    Went to Tastee's for lunch with a pal. First of all, I had no idea how big it was in there. Lots of tables for patrons. I just assumed it was just a huge@$$ bakery factory with no seats. The jerk pork is quite delicious. If you order the medium it'd come w/ pilaf rice (actually i'm not sure what type of rice it was but it reminds me of pilaf lmao). It was about $5.99 or 6.99. My friend had to pack it for lunch the next day. I ordered a burger (approx $3.50) and it wasn't bad ! Almost like Harveys aka I know i'm probably not eating an odd part of a cow (at least i hope!)....it was good :) Next time I'll try the jerk chicken ! I found the jerk pork had a bit of fat on it...no biggie just cut it out. Service was alright & they were all very polite. I would def. come back for lunch again as it's semi close to my office. Parking - lots of space in the lot but I would suggest backing in so it won't be as difficult for you to leave afterwards. They take debit but only if you order over $10.

    Dry beef patty
    Bernard W.

    This location is terrible. Ordered 2 beef spicy patties and the patties were dry. Their other locations ( Donmills and also Mccowan) makes much better patties. Also, the old lady working there at the cashier was rude. If your unhappy with your job then you should quit. Won't be coming back to this location.

    Jerk pork dinner with extra Jerk sauce... bueno!
    Vincent S.

    These guys have been around for so many years! Their patties are amazing... but their Jerk Pork dinners are an explosion of flavours! They are paired with their rice and beans a classic staple! The parking lot is always full and the staff is always friendly. Note... if you're on your phone while in line you won't be served! So stay off it to keep the line moving. Alot of hungry customers are waiting don't hold up the line

    Tastee's patty (Mild even though there's a red dot)

    So I'm addicted to Tastee's Patties but I wanted to leave this review because I noticed that they've messed up the batches somehow and when I bought a box of mild without the red dot, they were EXTREMELY spicy! Then I bought another box of the same thing and again, extremely spicy. So I told my mom and she was like "well mine have the dot and they're not spicy at all" so I googled to see if the red dot meant spicy or not spicy and of course, it means spicy. I'm eating one right now with the red dot and it's not extremely spicy, it's delicious btw. Anyway, someone at the factory has the meats messed up lol, I don't care either way but I wanted to share. I buy about two boxes every week and a half so I've gone through about 6-7 boxes in the last couple months and have had the same experience. For now I will buy red dot because I like the spice level and my babies love it too!

    Ingredients

    I order 1 dozen of the regular spicy beef patty, after only 2 patties, it made me very thirsty. After taking a closer look, it list MSG as one of it's ingredients. They definitely added too much in it and I most likely would not be buying their patties anymore. But I am open to trying their other offerings. I'm pretty sure Patty King doesn't have MSG. Cash and debit only btw.

    Jerk chicken dinner
    Joanne C.

    I am a frequent patron of Ritz's jerk chicken and to me, this is pale in comparison. The chicken was tender however the flavour (or lack of) was just ok. The portion of rice and chicken was good. Overall, decent jerk chicken with decent gravy but at $8.95, it would have been better if it came with a side of coleslaw or salad.

    The Tastee vegetable box of patties lacked flavour and lacked filling. I had to open it and add my own ingredients. It was more like plain bread with a table spoon of frozen vegetables.

Recently, I got to try two of their 6 inch cakes. The earl grey tea chestnut cake with fresh strawberries and the black sesame mochi lava cake with fresh mangoes. Both cakes are AMAZING! I could taste the earl grey flavor and the chestnut flavor separately along with the fresh strawberries, it is a wonderful combination. The black sesame one was sooooo good also. It has black sesame mousse on the outside and the top is like a black sesame lava topped with pistachios and some kind of nutty crumble crunch. The inside has mochis layered within along with black sesame cake, more of that nutty crumble crunch and at the bottom is fresh mangoes. I honestly don't know which one I like better but I am craving either cakes again (I had both within the last 3 weeks haha). The service there is still excellent. Everyone working there is so kind & helpful. The ambiance is nice... it is spacious, bright and clean. I really love going in there and chatting with everyone while receiving top notch service.

The tray of pork floss buns hits the perfect sweet, salty, and fragrant balance. The fried chicken bun was a standout. Crispy juicy chicken with mayo inside a slightly sweet bakery bun is an unstoppable combo. The Garlic Hot Dog was pretty average since I couldn't taste any garlic at all. The curry bun could use more filling, but the pastry itself was flaky and flavorful. The cheese chicken bun was huge and super satisfying. We got it fresh so the outside was crisp and the cheese stayed gooey. We also grabbed their famous egg tarts. They kept selling out and the kitchen was scrambling to keep up, so we pre-ordered and came back thirty minutes later to pickup. Totally worth it. The crust is flaky and buttery and the filling is silky and creamy. In our opinion, these are the best egg tarts in the city.

Also, if you think you'll go there often, very worth it to sign up for their membership and put money into it to redeem points with their bakery.

Not very filling so could consider making it better by adding more cheese/ham myself or actual sandwich ingredients -[Lava MT (milk tea) Mochi]: 10/10 - very flavorful but super hard to photograph -[Matcha Red Bean Mochi]: 10/10 - red bean paste filling is creamy and tasty. Green tea mochi compliments it very well too -[Ham & Egg Bun]: 10/10 - didn't get a photo of it but the egg is so silky that it looks likr a giant rectangular prism of pudding instead of egg. Adding cheese before toasting would make it even better -[Bonito Flakes & Crab Meat Bun w/Okonomiyaki Sauce]: 10/10 - get at least two of these next time. Only wish it were a little more filling -[Ham & Italian Cheese Bun]: 10/10 - has TONS of ham in it aka worth it -[Smoked Bacon & Swiss Cheese Roll]: 10/10 extremely flavorful -[Chicken Sausage & Cheese Bun]: 9/10 - has a bit of a tangy sauce on it as well. Good flavor combination -[Long Wiener Bun]: 10/10 - tastes like a dressed hot dog -[Ham & Cheese bun]: 10/10 - lots of cheese and ham -[Egg Salad Croissant]: 10/10 - has cheese and fried onions in it as well and a heaping amount of egg salad.
