A friend recommended this spot to us while we were visiting from out of town, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The food was amazing! We ordered the oxtail patty and the jerk chicken poutine, and both were delicious. The poutine came with a very generous portion of meat, which we really appreciated. There was a steady stream of customers the entire time we were there, which speaks volumes about the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

This was my first time eating from this organization. Sorry I didn’t take a better picture before I started eating, but that’s because the food was that good!! I am also a Caribbean Chef, and I don’t eat out often but when I do I always pray to find a good food tasting clean restaurant. I am a pescatarian and I ordered this large fried fish with white rice. The rice was fresh and hot, the fish was well cleaned 👏 👏 hate when restaurants use hot water to clean the scales and leave on soo much scales on the fish, BUT NOT AT STACY’S !!! The fish was well marinated, cleaned well, fried well , not dry, escovitch was just perfect 👌I was so pleased I called requesting the price for side order fish only, extra!!! If you were thinking about getting the snapper fish meal from Stacy’s, I can vouch for what I had, white rice , fried fish escovitch, gravy on side, and coleslaw with a side order of plantain!! Top notch. Thank you to the chef! 👏 👏 sorry for the lengthy review, I am just honest and have so much to say!!
Update!! I was sooo Impressed with not just the amazing food but the customer service also!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 I am now there bi-weekly catering for fish Cx. If you are thinking about ordering food or having them cater for you, don’t hesitate to!!! You would not be disappointed!! Happy Happy Happy New Customer ❤️

Saw the oxtail stuffed patty on tiktok so had to check it out. The staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately for me the oxtail stuffed patty was a bit fatty, about every 3rd bite was majority fat. That is one issue but the main one is flavour. I actually didn't think the meat had a lot of flavour. I asked for hot sauce but they only had siracha. I need to be honest when I say the coleslaw in the sandwich had the most flavour of any part of it, when it should have been the meat. I still think it's a cute place but I probably wouldn't spend $15 on that sandwich again.

I have to say—I was honestly surprised by how good this restaurant is. Usually, it’s either a hit or a total miss with Jamaican spots, but Stacy definitely does NOT disappoint.

I ordered the BBQ chicken meal, chicken noodle soup, and curry goat dinner—and wow.

The BBQ chicken was sooo good, like finger-licking amazing 🤩🔥. The soup really caught me off guard too—in a good way! It wasn’t just basic broth and potatoes. It was packed with yellow yam, spinners, potatoes, carrots… real food, real flavor. Proper seasoning, nice spice—none of that bland “hot water soup” business.

And the curry goat? Proper. Super tender, full of flavor, and the portion was BIG. I could only eat half and had the rest the next day—and it was still hitting!

Honestly, just dazzling. I loved everything and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I’ve been hearing their stuffed patties are the real specialty—can’t wait fi try dem!

Big up to the restaurant—keep doing your thing. I’ll definitely be back for more 🇯🇲🔥

I highly recommend Stacy’s Island Flavor Restaurant for its delicious and authentic food, as well as generous portions, friendly customer service, warm vibe if you’re dining in, and very reasonable prices! I’ve been here many times and I will continue to return as a loyal customer. I’ve introduced a bunch of people to this restaurant, and everyone loves it. The food is consistently excellent! The viral oxtail patty definitely lives up to the hype - the meat is so tender, juicy, and packed with flavour! In addition, the large oxtail meal (huge portion - the takeout box is legit heavy!), jerk pork (really soft and perfectly seasoned!), plantain, curry goat patty, jerk chicken patty, and jerk pork patty are my go-to items and worth checking-out.

My wife and I tried Stacy’s Island Flavour Restaurant & Caterers and WOW, everything absolutely slapped. We ordered the oxtail patty sandwich and the jerk chicken poutine, and both were phenomenal.

The meat was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavour in every bite. You can really tell there’s care put into the food. The portion sizes were more than generous, we definitely left full and satisfied.

The jerk chicken had the perfect level of heat. It gives you that authentic kick without being overwhelming, so even if you’re a bit sensitive to spice, you can still enjoy it without regret.

On top of that, the service was so pleasant and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We waited an appropriate amount of time that it takes to make a fresh meal.

We’ll 100% be back, this is a spot worth craving.

We tried three different items - jersey chicken (of course), fried chicken and of course the stuffed oxtail patty.
It was AMAZING. From the coleslaw to the most tender fall off chicken and oxtail down to perfectly cooked and flavorful rice, each one was amazing. Probably the best jerk for sure. The portions were large and stuffed in thr box. Highly recommend.
We also got some extra hot sauce for the rice since we like spicy.

Highly recommend.

Stacy’s Island Flavour is a hidden gem for authentic Jamaican food. We ordered the jerk chicken and the oxtail fries, and both were absolutely delicious. The jerk chicken was flavourful with just the right amount of heat, and the oxtail fries were rich, tender, and packed with bold island flavours.

It’s a small spot, but don’t let the size fool you, the place is constantly busy with steady traffic coming through the doors, which says a lot about how good the food is. The Jamaican patties are clearly a crowd favourite and very popular, making them a must-try on your visit.

If you’re craving real Jamaican comfort food with big flavour, Stacy’s Island Flavour is definitely worth stopping by.

the prices are insanely affordable for the filling portions and fresh food !

the stuffed oxtail patty — a thick, sweet coco bun and soft, buttery pastry heaped with tender, gelatinous, tendon-y oxtail with heavy flavours and a bit of crunchy mild slaw (although there could’ve been more) — is what they’re famous for, and it was quite good, but i thought the jerk poutine was better and more flavourful. the fries were the perfect kind — slightly crispy and greasy, and seasoned PERFECTLY (kind of like costco fries). the chicken was chopped up into moist, juicy shreds and soaked with a gravy that was more watery and less thick than usual, but still had great flavour. it was a bit spicy, and there was cheese melting onto the fries from the steam.

the festivals were also outstanding ! they were super duper fresh, like they were steaming and fluffy when you pulled them apart, and the dough was slightly sweet with a barely noticeable amount of oiliness.

Went on a Monday. Got the oxtail stuffed patty and jerk chicken lunch special. They’re not kidding when they say the patty is STUFFED. Not only that it is stuffed with juicy oxtail pieces it taste good too goes well together with the patty and coco bread. Jerk chicken was also good. Nice flavour, rice and peas were nice, coleslaw was creamy. Overall I spent $26 on these two items and I am happy. Will come again for sure!

Omg super excited. Stacey's was originally in Markham and we missed her when she moved. I made my hubby take a special trip down to Scarborough when I found out she had relocated to Scarborough.

I was so pleased it was the same restaurant and Stacey was still running the restaurant.

It is a light small place. They also do catering. They offer top notch Jamacian food. They offer a wide variety of Jamaican food from jerk chicken, ox tail to ackee and salt fish.

The food tastes amazing, and there is so much variety. The portions are generous and the staff are very helpful. It was so sweet ad Stacey talks to you like you are friends. While I was there another customer was introducing Stacey to his visiting Grandmother. So sweet.

Stacey has also expanded her menu with a few new items such as her oxtail stuffed patties and her mac and cheese.

If you have not tried Stacey's I recommend you give it a try as you will definitely enjoy the food.

Markham mommies if you remember Stacey's you gotta make the trip to Scarborough.

Had their ox tail stuffed patty and it was solid, though nothing extraordinary (tastes exactly how you'd expect). Really liked their drink selections tho, the beet juice caught me by surprise cause it tasted more like a milk shake.

Pretty tight inside space wise especially when they get busy, so better do takeout.

Food
This place truly fits the definition of a hidden gem. An unexpected find with absolutely incredible food. I tried the BBQ chicken, jerk chicken, and oxtail patty. The standout was the oxtail patty, which was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. The praise this place gets is definitely well deserved.

Service
The staff were fast, friendly, and professional. I visited during the rush, and the energy was intense but well managed. They kept things moving smoothly despite the crowd.

Ambiance
Getting there was a bit of a challenge. I drove through gridlock traffic, and the location is slightly out of the way and not the easiest to reach. That said, it was worth the effort.

First I want to say awesome customer service! Quick wait time and clean establishment (gloves worn).
Stuffed oxtail patty is very good I don’t like coleslaw but this was very elite! Fried chicken on Fridays 🔥🔥 reminds me of a better KFC. Mango nectar drink was very good as well.

Went during their anniversary celebration and the vibe was amazing — DJ setup right at the front, music going, and the energy was so good! It was my first time ordering and I tried the curry goat and oxtail. Hands down, the best I’ve had so far. The meat was tender and packed with flavor — and actually more meat than bones, unlike a lot of other places. The rice was cooked perfectly, and even the coleslaw stood out — sweet, fresh, and flavorful. Can’t wait to come back!
