Decided to try something new in my neighborhood. This West Indian spot nearby my house was affordably priced and the food was delicious, not disappointing like Golden Crust. I had the jerk chicken served with bbq sauce, rice and peas, and a salad with a chicken patty. When it comes to patties I say go with Golden Crust, but for a real meal this place is legit. Check it out.
This Tropical Jerk is an "ok" place. I agree that the service can be better. These businesses need to realize that customer service is EVERYTHING. But anyway let's get to the food.
My husband is obsessed with jerk chicken so he ordered that. He's American and I'm West Indian and I agree with most of the reviews, the jerk chicken is wack as hell. Soooooooo dry. Barely seasoned which is so unfortunate because it looked tasty.
I ordered the oxtail which was really
Good and well cooked. I mean this isn't the first time I ordered the oxtail.
My eyes lit up when I sad that they had pepper shrimp but there was nothing peppery about it. It was S A L T Y my gosh!
So pretty much Tropical Jerk, please re evaluate the seasoning for your jerk chicken and make sure it's not dry. And the customer service, PLEASE fix that. Thanks
I enjoy coming here as I love anything jerk. I usually order the jerk chicken or jerk pork and make a salad at home. I'll get a small order of stewed chicken with white rice for my son. The food is always hot, you get a choice of sauces and the specials are listed on the wall.
They should get a better system when calling out your order when it's ready. People are usually just standing around waiting and guessing if that's their order being bagged up. The woman/women that take orders depending on the day needs an extreme attitude adjustment. I hate going into an establishment and you make it seem as if your doing me a favor by taking my order. The money I'm spending here I could've gone to the supermarket and made my food, but I'm lazy.
The prices do seem to escalate quickly. You can easily rack up a $20 for 2 people real quick.
I like their food, I get the jerk chicken, rice and peas and the oxtail often. A couple of times I've noticed that the jerk chicken is a little dry, but when it is moist it's absolutely delcious. The rice and peas are good and you can definitely taste the coconut and seasoning. I always get the oxtail gravy on the rice and peas for extra flavor. The oxtails are consistently good, but it is expensive as they do not serve it in a small. My only hangup with this place is the customer service. The cashier can be a little dismissive and sometimes I wonder if she wants to work at all. As to the actual establishment and its dine in qualities, it isn't appealing. I haven't eaten there because the lines can be long, the tables and chairs arent inviting and I dont want to be grilled by said cashier.
Four stars for the food minus one for the service.
