Inspection summary
THE NEW CARIBBEAN QUEEN JERK DRUM has been inspected 5 times by Toronto Public Health since December 19, 2024. The most recent inspection, on February 19, 2026, found no infractions.
1 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing and Food temperature control.
The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded once on February 17, 2026. For example:
MAINTENANCE / SANITATION OF FOOD CONTACT SURFACES / UTENSILS / EQUIPMENT
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded once on February 17, 2026. For example:
FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL / FOOD PROCESSING
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2025. For example:
Proper maintenance / washing of rooms (including washrooms)
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded once on September 15, 2025. For example:
A. OPERATOR FAIL TO MEET ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS OF

Each employee we encountered was caring, professional and polite. It was definitely a breath of fresh air from the other establishments. Our food was a catering order for my daughter's gender reveal and all patrons including myself enjoyed it. Keep up the good work 10/10.

I love the gungo peas soup, with cow foot. OMG!!!. I had some yesterday and it was amazing!. The stew chicken and also the curry chicken, is also very good. Better than some other Jamaican restaurants. Their lunch special, portion, is very small though, lately. And they still had the ad up, when they were no longer, offering, the lunch special, which was not nice. The people who work there, are also professional and nice. Overall, the food is very good.

Being working in this area for a while and always saw that this place is busy so decided to try jerk chicken with rice and peas and it was delicious, the price was good to and good portions.

I wish I had words to explain the jerk chicken I just ate, absolutely phenomenal. Best jerk chicken that has surpassed through my esophagus. From the second you walk in until your first bite you already know ur getting good chicken. My food came out withing minutes of entering the establishment. After the first bite everything changed the tenderness of the chicken had me reevaluate what life is from how delicious. If I could eat something for the rest of my life it would be this carrbean queens jerk chicken. THE PRICE WAS UNHEARD OF!!!! I spent only $25 and got a large jerk chicken with a medium bbq chicken. You will definitely see me here at Caribbean queen jerk at random times of the day moving forward. From me and my tastebuds thank you

Kudos to Caribbean Queen when it comes to their food and prices! I have yet to see a West Indian food joint that not only serves delicious meals but also prices their meals under six bucks! Unheard of! I remember $4.99 lunch special price from 25 years ago! It's rare to see that now! I typically order the Jerk Chicken special, and it has yet to disappoint! The portion is decent, and the meal price cannot be beat! The staff there too are pleasant and welcoming! Check them out if you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed!
