The Story Behind The Success
Stacy’s Island Flavor wasn't built in a boardroom—it was built in the kitchen. What started as a passion for sharing authentic Jamaican recipes has turned into a Scarborough staple.
We gained worldwide attention for our Oxtail Stuffed Patty, but our regulars stay for the love we put into every pot. We believe in generous portions, bold spices, and treating every customer like family.

WE DON'T DO "FAST FOOD." WE DO FRESH FOOD
At Stacy's, we cook with love, patience, and deep respect for Jamaican tradition. We don't use shortcuts. Our Oxtail simmers for hours, and our patties are stuffed by hand.
Yeah, sometimes there’s a line. And yes, the viral patties often sell out early. But one bite, and you’ll understand why people wait.

What our Customers say...
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.

Great local Scarborough food spot for Caribbean cuisine.
Their jerk chicken on rice and beans was delicious! Large chunks of tender chicken pieces. The rice was not dry, in fact the gravy from the chicken and beans almost gave it a nice creamy/moist texture that complimented the dish along with the slaw.
Their portions are huge and the price is very affordable for what you get. I ordered their large and couldn't finish it.
Would highly recommend this place!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a reservation, or can I walk in?
We are a casual, welcoming spot! You are always welcome to walk in for takeout. We have limited seating available for those who want to soak up the "island vibes" and eat fresh, but tables are first-come, first-served.
Is there parking available?
Yes! We know many of you make the drive from across the city to see us. We have a parking lot available so you can pull up, grab your food, and enjoy without stress.
How can I get the viral Oxtail Stuffed Patty?
Because of their viral fame, they often sell out early in-store! For catering or large orders, we highly recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance to guarantee availability for your team or event.
Is the food too spicy for a general crowd?
We cook with authentic Caribbean soul, which means bold flavor, not just heat. For catering orders, we can adjust the spice levels to be crowd-friendly while keeping that signature "Jamaican Flava" taste.
Do you cater outside of Scarborough?
Yes! We serve the entire Greater Toronto Area (GTA). From downtown offices to weddings in Mississauga and Brampton, we bring the food to you. We use professional thermal carriers to ensure your order arrives piping hot, no matter the distance.
Do you offer individual packaging for office lunches?
Absolutely. Ask about our "Executive Jerk Box." It is a sanitary, eco-friendly, and individually packaged meal containing a main, side, and salad—perfect for board meetings where sharing trays isn't ideal.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For standard corporate lunches, we request 24-48 hours' notice. For weddings, large events, or live food stations, we recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance to secure your date on our calendar.
do you offer refunds for catering orders
Unfortunately once we have confirmed your catering order and received the deposit, we cannot refund that deposit.
