One of my greatest regrets during my recent trip home was walking past Patty Time and not going in. I believe they offer vegetable patties, something I would've loved, and yet somehow I didn't stop. Big mistake. Huge. Patty Time is one of those staple spots that's been around forever, and for good reason. It's stood the test of time in a city that's always changing, and places like that deserve respect. I didn't eat here on this trip, but if I had gotten a patty anywhere, it would've been from Patty Time. I'd have wandered in got my patty and taken it to go because it was never a place I would dine-in at, but a place I would stop off at on my way home from school or on the way to the park with friends. If I remember correctly, it might have a table or two but not really a sit down and eat spot? I'm giving it four stars on nostalgia alone. I just hope it stays open long enough for me to make things right next time I'm back. Patty Time, don't go anywhere. I've got a patty to eat.
I've been meaning to come here for a long time. Right when I come there is a lineup, and also this place only takes cash, so make sure you bring cash. We got a beef patty and a chicken patty, the beef patty was the saving grace, the chicken patty had too much curry powder. Their beef patty was dynamite, their chicken patty was too overpowering with curry powder. I can't believe I've never been here before, and you can see in the kitchen they are making the patties fresh. I see people are ordering other dishes here like oxtail I gotta try that next time. The crust was super flaky and buttery, I think I know how they make the filling but if you like beef patties this is the place to go.
Cash only!! Come prepared. The single patties were $2.85 plus tax, whether beef or chicken. Went here for lunch and there was a lineup that wrapped to the door. But for singles, they work quick. I stood in line 10 minutes, but upon ordering, got my singles in 2 min. The ones i got were quite flat, not quite as filled as I've had with other patties. Considering they close a little early and are slightly more expensive, I think I'd prefer Patty King to these patties. But they are a close second.
Patty Time is at Brimley Rd & Lawrence Ave E-ish. A minimalistic takeout (don't expect decor or ambience!) joint nestled in a small plaza, parking can be a bit tight during peak meal times. When they're extra busy, they cap you at 6 patties - though usually, they only sell in singles or dozens! I'd love to do a mix of 6 beef and 6 chicken... Service is minimal. Order fast and please leave vibes. Little pricier than other places, but I'd say it is totally worth it. The patties are awesome though! Golden, flaky exterior gives way to a hearty filling, generously packed with meat and sauce, with a slight kick of spice. I buy frozen ones. Toss them in the airfryer, 350F, chubby side down for 15 minutes, then flip for a final 5. Worth a detour if you're in the mood for stocking up on patties.
How come nobody told me about this place and I lived in Scarborough all my life? Omg, it's a jump, skip, and hop, and I am atvtheir door steps. Let's talk about location. It's in a small plaza east of Brimley on Lawrence. Normally, there is a lineup, but if you go early. It's a shorter line. The first time, I waited 20-25 minutes. Second time, only 5 minutes. I can see they make it fresh daily. I ordered 2 boxes of hot ones, not room temperature. The hot (as in temperature) is very hot. I waited 2 minutes and there was a party in my mouth. These are the best patties I have ever tasted. (This is my opinion). It's fresh, juicy, and tasty. I ate one, and I couldn't stop myself, so I ended up eating 4. Lol. I highly recommend this place. Delicious!
Hands down one of if not THE BEST Jamaican beef patties I've ever had! There WILL be a line, and you WILL wait in it. It was worth the wait. There will always be a line. The crust is flaky, and the filling is perfect. Nicely seasoned, a little bit of heat, and not skimpy on the filling. The ground beef isn't that mushy paste you get with some patties. You can see the grounds of meat. It's a nice mom and pop kind of shop, and it's cash only. The parking is limited, and the hours are short. Closed Sunday and Monday. I wish they had a more refined ordering system or a bigger operation, but I think going through the hassle kind of adds to the charm. When you finally get your order and you take the first bite, it all kind of feels worth it.
If you're looking for legit Jamaican beef patties, this is the place to go! I waited for approx 15 minutes (in line and food prep) for my dozen of patties. They came out sooo fresh, it was steaming hot!!! I love when my food is hot, so I really enjoyed it. The crust was thin, so you'll need at least two patties to get full. Highly recommend if you're craving for patties!
Super busy spot! There was a line out the door when we stopped by on a weekend, but it went pretty quick. Maybe a 10-15minute wait to order? 100% worth the wait. Got a couple of piping hot beef and chicken patties to eat in the car, along with a dozen frozen beef patties. The chicken wasn't dry at all, with a nice curry flavour. I'd definitely get it again. But their beef patties were amazing. Super generous with their filling, and the dough was perfectly flakey, not too thick or doughy. Has become our go to spot for patties. Delicious! Cash only. Will try their oxtail next time, heard it was delicious!
Hands down best beef patty I've tried. It isn't a myth but a fact how juicy and flaky. Everything was spot on to make a perfect Patty. Service was quick and fast. I've only had their beef but will definitely try their sold out chicken. Only thing I wish was they don't close so early but other than that 5/5! Note: Patty by the dozen $25.99 Per Patty $2.75 They offer chicken and beef
Freshly made patties from this small store front. Expect to wait. Beef or chicken patty $2.99/ each. See other price on photo. Beef patty very saucy and tasty can be very hot inside so be careful! They also have other offerings curry goat and oxtail, coco bread, drinks. *Cash ONLY! Parking wise, outsidethe store front is a small strip mall, this is usually a very full lot. read more

The place does get quite busy so there will be some wait ordering and receiving the food but the beef patty was fantastic. I've tried patties from less than 10 places so I may not be an expert, but this has been the best patty I have ever had. The ratio was perfect and the flavor was amazing. Would love to come back here again. read more

I've been to Patty Time twice now. It's a small takeout counter in a local plaza. There are a few tables with limited stool seating. First time was for a Beef Patty and Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas. Second time (today) was for Curry Goat and Oxtail. They only carry one kind of party and it has a saucy type beef filling (not very spicy) and the pastry is flaky and light. A very good beef Patty overall. The Jerk Chicken (no picture) was just OK for me. Decent flavour, not overcooked, but nothing special. Their rice and peas are very good imo. The oxtail was very good, nice tender pieces with very good flavour. Only request would have been more oxtail gravy. The curry goat was not very good. While the curry sauce was nice the goat pieces were tough as nails. Overall, the food here is decent but I probably won't return here again for anything other than beef patties. read more

No halal items. Milliken Meat provides halal ground beef for patties so it would be nice if they could buy from them and offer halal beef patties. Its a small, walk-in shop. I had the beef patty. Average size. $2.50 with tax for one. Cash only. They said all were spicy (no mild options) but I'd say Patty Time is pretty mild. I've found Patty King to be spicier. It was served hot. I had to give it time to cool down . The crust was thin and the beef inside was saucy compared to Fahmee or Patty King. It was flavourful. I enjoyed it. Hopefully they go halal to serve the diverse community they're in. Would be cool! They'd get more business. read more

Hmmm, why have I not written a review about Patty Time before? I've been coming here since they first opened their doors. It seems like so long ago. Their patties are one of the best in Toronto, meaty, moist, and flavourful, with a great crust! These guys know how to make a great Jamaican patty! Their cooked food is also darn good. Again, full of flavour. On this trip, I ordered the Curry Goat and it was cooked perfectly tender and full of flavour. It had just the right amount of meat (very few bones), and gravy to go with the rice, corn, and tomatoes. Other dishes worthy of mention (from past trips) include the Oxtail, and Jerk Chicken. They have a fairly small menu for food but whatever they do, they do it very well. Unfortunately, as good as the food is, not everything is perfect. The service is horrendous! On this trip, after parking (in front of the shop next door), a fellow on the curb said the patties were sold out. I didn't know who this scruffy looking person was but he came into the store after me and stepped behind the counter. Oh, he works here! Anyway, there's more to this story but this person just didn't impress me, and is responsible for the low ranking. read more
Theres a great big debate over the best patties in Toronto. And honestly, Patty Time is a top contender. Located in Scarborough, this little shop is incredibly busy all day long (they're open 10:30 until 4-5ish) and even at 2PM there was literally 10+ people lined up outside. The patties were piping hot out the oven, with a deliciously juicy and slightly runny filling. The pastry crust was flakey and the original beef filling was full of flavor. The curry chicken patties (not pictured) are actually really good too, with a subtle, light curry flavor. We also had the small portion of oxtail in addition to the patties. The oxtail is usually served with rice and peas but they ran out, so it was served with plain rice. The oxtail was delicious, with a deep, rich flavor and the right amount of kick. They also offer the frozen patties to take home as they can be easily reheated in the oven (or even air fried ). However, often the chicken curry patties and frozen patties are sold out, so definitely arrive early to get your pick of goodies! Even though the service here can be a bit spotty, the food is always A1 so I'll still be back for that alone. read more

Rating: 4.0/5.0 Absolutely loved the beef patties here. You can actually see the ground beef in the filling rather than the usual pasty filling you see at other places. Also the filling is quite substantial and flavourful. The patty itself is nice and flakey with a good amount of crisp when you bite into it. A great long time local establishment. Will definitely be coming back to satisfy my cravings. read more

Patties are good but there's no option for spicy or mild. I wish it was spicier. I had to add my own spice as I was eating it. The ox tail/goat meal is good. First time trying goat. It is good but the texture not my favourite. The cucumbers are pickled, the rice is tasty and the meat is tender. Would order again. read more

Hole in the wall store in a strip mall with bars on the windows. Interior is stark and menu is limited but don't let that dissuade you from trying their fresh, in house baked, savoury patties. You have the choice of beef or chicken (red dot), hot or warm. A dozen half beef and half chicken hot, of course, and one coco bread to go please. The coco bread was soft but had a tough exterior and was a little anemic looking. Both patties, beef and chicken, had nice flaky crusts with delicious fillings. Other patties have fillings that are over processed and look more like paste or have gelatinous fillings to add bulk but these have a nice texture and mouth feel, you can tell they're made fresh in house. So glad I've found a good Jamaican patty place closer to home. Patties make a good on the run snack; you can also bring a dozen or so to group gatherings. This will be my go to Jamaican patty place, but for more spicy patties or if I want goat patties or rum cake (regular or chocolate), I'll still head on over to Allen's on Kennedy Road. read more

A nice sunny afternoon... The sound of Reggae music in the air... A few of those muscle car in the parking lot... I feel like I am in Jamaica.... Patty Time is located in a strip mall in Scarborough... One of those I don't frequent.... Chicken, Beef or Seafood Patties?? Or should I go for a full meal of Oxtail...or just have a coco bread... The smell of baked pastries... must be from the flaky outer shell of the patties.. Beef Patty ($1.29) is as flaky as I think it should be... the filling does have some kick to it... but I don't think they have a non spicy version.... Maybe I need to wash it down with a red stripe.... oh I am not in Jamaica.. cannot drink in the parking lot................. read more

Hmmm....not sure what has changed but the patties were as thick, fat or juicy as before. I really hope that I just got a bad batch as they were one of my favourite patties in the city...still good though but didn't seem the same read more

I have been going to this place for Jamaican Patty with a combination of their coco bread. Yummy! First time to try the Curry Goat. Meat is tender, spicy, but way too oily. Smell of goat is so strong (hubby's comment)! Excellent service . Pay in cash only read more
