I came here with my friends to try the Carribean food. They allowed sampling, and i tried the jerk chicken and curry goat. I found them tasty but the meat was actually rather tough. So I decided on the Cajun fish. To my disappointment, it's just battered fish on top of rice. Oh well. read more

I really liked the Scarborough location but this place disappointed me. I got the oxtail bowl, I feel like they don't give enough oxtail and fill up your bowl more with the rice and vegetables. The service is really quick and efficient. I found the oxtail not to have much flavour even with all their sauce and garnishes, for 17.65 plus two dollars more for oxtail it is not worth it. I feel Chris jerk oxtail had so much more flavour, I don't think I will come back here, price not worth it and it lacks flavor. read more

Craving Caribbean food for lunch, I went to try out Scotty Bons in the Unionville area. It was clean and bright, also spacious with its nice decor inside. It has tables for dine in but it's mainly for takeout as it self-serve. It offers a wide variety of bowls featuring different proteins (jerk chicken, BBQ chicken, curry goat, oxtail, etc.), along with sandwiches and patties. Had the opportunity to try: 1) Curry Chicken Bowl - Very huge bowl, with the chicken seasoned well paired with their amazing toppings - coleslaw, rice (recommend the Scotty rice), tomatoes, and beans 2) Jerk Chicken Sandwich - juicy and flavourful jerk chicken wrapped with their signature sandwich at an affordable price Overall, enjoyed the Caribbean food (not many in Markham), good customer service, and big portion sizes. Parking can be challenging due to its limited spots and it being near the main road, but its worth trying and I want to come back to try the other bowls! read more

Ordered pickup for dinner from this spot which I have been craving for quite a while. Got the jerk chicken bowl and oxtail bowl, both with Scotty Rice and all the toppings. The pickup experience was super smooth, as my order was just packed when I came in! The inside has some tables for dine in though I took it to go. The bowls were hefty and delicious. For the chicken, we got the half jerk half BBQ option, and I liked the jerk chicken which had a kick of spice. As it has been said, this spot is along Highway 7 so it might be a little more difficult during peak hours to get in and out. read more

Drove past this place many times and it always caught my eye because it looks so new/clean and brightly lit! Finally got around to trying it and it did not disappoint. The inside is very clean & spacious. I liked the colourful mural with neon lights. The menu isn't too big but that's a good thing for someone indecisive like me. It is displayed on screens behind the counter but the screens do change a little fast. Staff were friendly and since it wasn't busy when we went, it was very quick. The portions are generous and the value meals are well priced. The food is very flavourful though I wasn't a fan of the rice. The oxtail was decent but a little on the sweet side. My jerk chicken was soft. Not juicy but not dry as stated in other reviews. I would definitely give it another try. The parking situation isn't the best as there are only a handful of spots and it's directly on Hwy 7. read more

I want to really like this place. It's got a gorgeous dining environment and friendly staff. Ordered jerk chicken sandwich. The toppings and ingredients were excellent and flavourful but I admit I was slightly disappointed when you see their online photos it looks like a panini sandwich in a very large size but really it's a white hamburger bun and the sandwich is pressed flat on a panini grill. I'd rather have it on coco bread. Nothing fancy at all. Kind of like what you do when you're a kid. The jerk chicken was dry with no moisture. Spices were good. 3-stars is my vote. I'm going to give this place another try. read more

I'm always down to try new Caribbean food, and this place did not disappoint! It's a pretty small menu so you're not overwhelmed with options. What makes this different than typical takeout Caribbean shops is the bowl option. You pick your protein and rice, and then have many other toppings to add. I opted for no toppings because I wanted to focus on the curry goat and rice flavours. The curry was the perfect spice level, and the goat was nice and tender, but the rice was the true star of the show for me. I highly recommend getting both rice flavours (no extra cost) because they complement each other so well. The portion sizes are massive as well, perfect to carry over to a second meal or share with a friend! The decor and layout is so beautiful too, and there's some seating to enjoy your meal there after you order it at the counter. Parking is minimal and hard to access with the busy Hwy 7 right there, but Scotty Bons is worth the effort to get there! read more

came here for lunch and got the jerk chicken bowl ($14.45). Overall, found it a great deal. The food was pretty good with a large selection of toppings and the portion sizes are huge! Probably enough for two people even. Enjoyed it and wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Clean and bright location that opens late. Quite nice decor on the inside, but only a couple of tables means its mainly a takeout joint. Jerk Chicken Sandwich - Pretty cheap for a good sized sando. Your choice of toppings, 4 pieces of boneless chicken and then toasted on a panini grill. Boneless was a good choice on a sando, the bread was a bit lackluster and felt a bit dry. Ox tail roti - Pretty big portions, but a bit hard to eat a roti with proteins with bones. Luckily, its not wrapped =). Oxtail was pretty good, but felt a bit cold, maybe because it was near end of day. read more

First visit to Scotty Bons did not disappoint! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share amongst a group of 7, family style - sandwiches, jerk chicken wings, jerk chicken, BBQ chicken, coleslaw, and rice & beans. The sandwiches were juicy & so satisfying, but I have to say, the jerk chicken wings and thighs really stood out for me. Incredibly well seasoned, moist, and it paired so well with the coleslaw, rice & beans, and mango chutney. The only thing is that they can sell out by end of day, so you might want to order in a bit in advance for larger orders. The parking situation at this location also isn't the greatest, but I think it's still worth the visit (just avoid rush hour when Hwy 7 is jam packed). read more

2.5 STARS Noticed Scotty bons is finally open, after weeks of waiting. Got two orders to go; jerk chicken and bbq chicken. It came with a side of cabbage coleslaw, skinless chicken thigh jerk/bbq chicken, rice and peas and a bit of sautéed bell peppers. First bite of the jerk, super dry chicken thighs. I never knew you can over cook chicken thighs to that point, and where's the skin? The jerk marinade was light and a bit spicy at the end, could use bit more jerk seasoning for the chicken to absorb more flavour. Rice and peas were a tad bit mushy, but flavour was good, I can really taste the coconut milk. Best thing on the dish was the coleslaw; had the right amount of creaminess, sweetness and salt. . Same thing goes for the bbq chicken. It was sadly very dry. I'm pretty sure whoever is cooking in the back is not Jamaican, cause they would never overcook chicken (thighs) like this. I'm a little appalled actually. I think Scotty bons is not an authentic Caribbean joint for those seeking for flavour, punch and authenticity. I will not be back, even though it's super close to me, I'd rather drive out 15 more minutes to get the real deal. read more

I saw people posting about a BOGO via DoorDash so I took advantage of it as It was my first time having Scotty Bons. I got the jerk chicken bowl and even though I got mild, it had a nice kick to it. My chicken wasn't as dry as the other reviewers have mentioned but my rice was a tad mushy. Not sure if that was my fault though cause I did ask for a few of their sauces. Portion size is decent. I like the variety of options like the corn, cold slaw, etc making it very customizable. One bowl had 3 pieces of chicken while the other had only 2...not sure what's up with that lol read more

Tried this place when it opened during the summer. The inside has a nice minimal design with good seating to enjoy your meal. The servers were kind helping pick out what I should get on their menu. I ended up getting the jerk chicken bowl with jerk fries. Ordering the bowl gave you a selection of rices vegetables and curry. The curry, rice, coleslaw was nice but the chicken was not so great as the style was similar to poulet rouge and was kinda dry. The jerk fries is just regular fries with some jerk seasoning on top of it which was really underwhelming. If you're looking for solid jerk chicken I'd suggest "Chris Jerk". read more
