It's been a minute since I've ordered from Tropical Jerk but yesterday I was starvin' marvin and…read morefelt too lazy to cook dinner. So I headed on over and ordered straight from the window. Leon, who is extremely enthusiastic and just down right a cool cat, greated me at the window. I was torn between jerk shrimp or jerk chicken, but went with this recommendation based on how substantial the chicken portion is. It was ready in only 15 minutes and once I got home, I quickly dug in. I knew I could probably save about half of it for lunch today, but it was just so darn delicious that I devoured the entire platter in one sitting. Haven't tried them yet? Give them a shot and tell em Jared sent ya.. they'll laugh for sure.

Ordered oxtail and red peas soup…read more The flavor of the oxtail was great but the meat was tough and chewy. A few peaces were tender but not evenly cooked. The rice and pease was good and soft. I def wished they put more veggies since I ordered half rice / half veggies. As you can tell from the pic - this was NOT half veggies The red peas soup was just okay - the flavor was a little off. This place offers the lowest price for oxtail around at $15. Taking that into consideration, I'm still not entirely sure whether or not I'd give this place another try - given there are def better options that are worth the $5 or $6 price difference

Naaaaaah man, they're not getting me again. The place always looks a little run down but today when…read moreI went there, the glass door is all cracked up like someone must have thrown something at it. The only food inside the display looked to be escovitch chicken tenders or some sort of escovitch tilapia..idk. I drove there specifically for beef patties, sign in patty display says "NO PATTIES". So I said ok, well let me get soup. I ordered a small chicken soup. Soup looked good. I kid you not, the woman came around the corner with a wooden toothpick picking her teeth to give me the container of soup. I was literally the only customer in there, was she going to get gingivitis in the 1 minute she could have waited for me to at least leave the restaurant without having seen it. Now how am I to comfortably eat this soup?...How? How I ask you?!?! The thing is with food at restaurants, you know in the back of your head some places don't do things to the highest standards but blatantly doing it in front of you like it's nothing is disgusting. I can only imagine what's done in the back.

Food is solid Jamaican fare. Oxtails are meaty and tender. With traditional rice and Peas, which could've used a likkle more love, as the rice was overcooked and not many peas. With gravy, almost mush but seasoned good tho. Appreciated the Steamed carrots. Needed more. Also, only came with 1 small broccoli stem. Plate was majority rice. Jerk Chicken is heavily browned, seasoned well but baked not grilled. If it is grilled, its a gas grill & no Pimento leaves, while also being buried in tons of sauce. Carrot cake was delicious. Light and not overly sweet. Golden raisins give a nice touch! Frosting is decadent but not cloying. Honestly, would give a 3.8 vs solid 4 but Service was exceptional and efficient. Overall, would definitely revisit. More for an intimate dining experience vs. large group.

Salmon nicely seasoned. A drizzle of Pepper sauce kicked it up a notch. Nice spot for date night; girls day, families

I took my food to go. I got home to try it out and realized there was no rice. I was a bit confused because it said it comes with plantain and rice. I let that go, luckily I had my own rice. (Although I prefer the Jamaican rice) I tried the Mac and cheese. I was let down. Way too spicy and needed more flavor for me. The chicken was good. It would have been great with the rice that was missing. I am giving it four stars because my boyfriend enjoyed the chicken.

The young woman working the counter was very helpful. I decided on jerk chicken with rice and vegetables. The chicken was nice and juicy, perfectly spiced. A little heat, a little sweet. The rice, with gravy as suggested, was delicious. The vegetables were mostly cabbage with some peas, corn and carrots. The cabbage was sweet and still had some crunch. I'll try something new next time and also remember to take some pictures.
