    This place has the best food ! Oxtail is 10/10 . If you’ve ever drove to the pioneer parking lot you’ve smelled the amazing food next door at jerk it up !!! The smell is not the only good thing the taste is amazing ! His patties are also great as well as the curry and jerk chicken ! I’m sure everything is grata but that’s all I’ve tried :) Come see jerk it up if you’re looking for good authentic food. I don’t like to give bad reviews on local places that were very polite so I didn’t give a bad review of the wasaga patty place but I have tried their curry chicken and pattys and they’re just not it ….. jerk it up is 100% the place to go to get good authentic food in wasaga .

    Amazing authentic Jamaican food for a great price. Flavour is off the charts, service is friendly and welcoming. Definitely going back for more!

    Loved the meal I got here. This gentleman was set up at the recent Wasaga Beach Blues Festival. I ordered the large jerk chicken meal with medium spice and it was fabulous. There was plenty of chicken and it was very flavourful. They use actual charcoal to prepare their food and that enhances the experience. The cole slaw was nice and I also got plenty of rice... a bit too much to finish it all. The service was prompt and friendly too. Highly recommended!

    This is not a dine-in place. You arrive, order your food, it is cooked on-site, wait, talk with the owner, listen to reggae music, get your meal/drink, and leave to enjoy your hot meal elsewhere. I'm a fan of his oxtail w/rice and peas, patties, fried plantin, and wings. He also serves curry goat and of course jerk

    I had the oxtail - it was fantastic. Lots of meat, lots of gravy and rice. Pepper was at a good level. This is good, authentic Jamaican food. Price was perfect.

    As far as I could see this is the only place on the Wasaga strip serving actual real food, the rest is absolute garbage on this strip. With that said, I ordered the jerk chicken meal size small, and it was actually good. You can tell the chicken has definitely been cooked on a grill and has that nice grill taste to it. For a 'small' size, it is actually a pretty healthy size. I think the price is fair and on par with what I would usually pay for this amount. The young guy serving was very polite and I definitely recommend this place for if you're looking for real food and good at that, above anywhere else in Wasaga.

    Stopped for a quick bite on the road. So nice to have something other than a burger! The chicken was amazing. The 2 people running the place are kind and funny. The rice needed a little more flavor and there is no dine in option or even picnic table. We drove to another town on our way and stopped in a park to eat. Would go to Jerk it Up again if in the area!

    Was looking for something quick to grab for lunch, stopped in and ordered a beef and veggie samosa. Holy moly, if you're looking for authentically spiced samosas, I recommend trying this place out! I definitely would like to go back and try their jerk dishes, as the smell from the kitchen was insanely delicious smelling!

    New to the area. Got recommended this gem by clients, can’t express enough how delightful dinner was, it’s been ages since I had good Jamaican food. Longer since I’ve had great. Will definitely be back

    This food was so good. Tried it at the Soca and Sangris event at Mad Dogs. Rice was Smokey and delicious chicken was juicy Smokey and amazing.
