From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

Ordered the oxtail, the snapper filet, the Mac and cheese, okra, jerk fries, plantain, jerk chips. All of them were tasty. Favourites: snapper filet, plantain. Snapper filet comes on a bed of steamed greens in a coconut sauce that reminds of a Thai red curry. Plantain is on the sweet side. Also recommend the mocktail, “Fake ID”. Attentive, friendly service. Busy, but not too loud for conversation.

Chubby’s was really beyond great. Really delicious. Really friendly. Really fun and vibrant ambiance. And you don’t pay an arm and a leg. Truly a restaurant not to be missed.
