    Only thought halfway through of taking pics

    My boyfriend literally just picked up take out. We have been by this place so many times and are FINALLY trying it. It's so good, y'all. Mac and cheese, greens, catfish, shrimp, rice, candied yams and cornbread all are insanely flavorful and delicious. If you're local and haven't tried this place yet- DO IT!

    First let me start by saying I'm from New York & just moved to Ohio in April I haven't found any restaurant's to make me feel at home until I came here to eat , customer service is great. Food is great THE JERK CHICKEN & CABBAGE IS THE BEST I'll recommend this place to anybody especially if they want that Caribbean taste this is the place !!! I'll be back for more jerk chicken

    This small place was a delight to find after one of our fall hiking spree hikes in Summit County. We decided to be adventurous & give it a go, & we were glad we did! John's Philly Steak was tender & tasty with red peppers & onions. He said it was the best he ever had! He was kind enough to let me have a taste & I have to agree with him, "best ever." I enjoyed some extra crispy lemon pepper wings & seasoned fries. Just yummy. They cooked the wings extra crispy for me without charring them. The peach cobbler was great! Down side to this little gem is that it is so little, only 3 tables. You had to wait for your food & that was A OK because that way you are assured its fresh!

    This Jamaican/Soul food joint was a friendly surprise. There isn't much room to sit down and eat but they do have 2-3 small tables. I had jerk chicken with greens and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was delicious, flavorful and had a nice spicy kick but not too spicy. The Mac and cheese was some of the best I've ever had. Forget fake cheese sauce this stuff is the REAL deal. Delicious. The greens were delicious also. The reason for one star short of five is because the restaurant could use a little bit of cleaning. It wasn't quite up to my standards as far as cleanliness, nothing out of line gross, but could definitely use some elbow grease. I would go back but wouldn't go out of my way.

    This place is amazing and definitely a little hidden gem. I had the jerk chicken and my husband had the wings - we both loved it! Husband said they were the best wings he has had in Akron. Food is flavorful and made with love. Came within an hour through UBER eats and the food was warm and fresh. We will definitely be back!

    Fish dinner! I had to stop eating and share the joy!

    Great home cooked food! The Mac'n-cheese is soooo good! This competes with family reunion type eating! lol I'm going back!

    Very flavorful jerk portobellos over rice. #PlantbasedLife

    Had the pleasure of dining here last night and it was delicious. Although there is not much listed one the menu for a plantbased diet, I was pleased to know the owner was developing one and he personally made me some jerk portobello over rice to order that was dynamite. I will definitely be back.

    This place is AMAZING!!! We got takeout here tonight and it did not disappoint! Do you like jerk chicken?!?! I do and this was the best I have ever had!!! The wings were meaty, full of flavor and cooked to perfection! My husband got the chicken philly and after the first bite said he was in love! For sides we got Mac n cheese, candied yams and peach cobbler!!! The Mac n cheese was so good and light! The yams reminded me of my grandmas cooking.....YUM! The peach cobbler was divine and tasted like it was fresh out the oven!! All the food here is cooked to order so we waited about 15 minutes but it was well worth the wait! It's a little spot mainly meant for takeout, with 2 tables available to sit at. I noticed they deliver via Grub Hub which is awesome and I will definitely try that in the future! If you're looking for down home soul food cooking in Akron then this is the place!!! It may not look like much, but the food packs a punch!!!!!

    Overpriced. Not a lot of food at all. Not worth the money. Would never go here again.

    Food was great! Out here in Ohio on business, the name of the restaurant caught my eye. I gave it a try and I was not disappointed.

    We have visited Tropical Bay about 3x past 2 weeks or so…read more 1st time: Our waitress was Janayla. It's the first time we have ever seen her, she is new. What a great addition to the team. She was so professional, respectful and you can really see she loves working with people, all smiles, very attentive and helpful. 2nd time: We are on our way to visit family, we asked if they wanted something to eat. We sent them a link to their website menu, and they texted their order. This time we ordered front in the front. Wilson one of the owners was taking our order. That man gets dressed with patience in his sleeves... lol. He was so good to us as we were trying to get everyone's orders right. 3rd time: Today August 22, 2026 - My husband asked me what do you want for lunch as we were driving back from Ukraine Parade in Parma. I said nothing, not hungry. He said what about Tropical Bay! He knew I would change my mind. This time Joelys took care of us. She's been there ever since we started going. Wonderful young lady and I know she's been rightfully going up the ranks at the restaurant and given more responsibility. She does a great job! Already knows what I order and all the intricacies. She's always happy to see the customers. Through every visit if the owners are there, especially Diana she makes it a point to come see us and takes a few minutes to say hello. They are salt to this earth wonderful, hardworking people. My favorite: Fried Pork with Tostones - I love all their food but I'm Latina so I make all these foods, I don't make the pork bites and tostones. These are melt in your mouth. My husbands: Tri Fongo with Shrimp, Cuban Rice, Rice and Bean The food I took my guest that they loved, Beef Pastelillos/Empanadas, Dominican Chicken, Butter Chicken, Puerto Rican Rice and Beans The place looks so cute and celebratory. Music playing, the Tropical Feeling, it's so nice. You will not be disappointed. I have severe food allergies and this is the only place I trust with my life.

    My husband and I had lunch at Tropical Bay Latin Cuisine on Friday and it was fantastic! We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!
