★★★★★ 5.0 Mitch HolmesIII · Jan 2026

Great customer service plus they give you large portions. So be careful. A small is a medium and a medium is a large, and a large is XXL. I highly recommend the curry chicken. Flavorful beyond belief!

★★★★★ 5.0 Pierre Reviews · Jan 2025

Tropical Jerk never disappoints! I’ve been here multiple times, and every time, the food is on point. The jerk chicken has the perfect balance of spice and smokiness, and the oxtail is always tender and flavorful. You can tell they put love into their cooking. The portions are solid, and the plantains are a must-have. The staff is cool and welcoming, making the experience even better. If you’re craving real Jamaican food, this is the spot!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Annie G · Nov 2025

Many stores around; busy street - shapely young woman was cordial and delivered service with pleasantries - ambiance - fair; they were closing so I didn't get the full experience - food - delicious; stew chicken and rice and peas; natural drinks are good

Nice decor nice staff all very polite very clean aswell but I unfortunately had a chunk of hard plastic in my food and thank god I saw it before I took that bite and I paid $17 for a small jerk pork that was mostly rice $17 is usually the price of a medium nice place but I won’t be returning

★★★★★ 5.0 The Godly Smiths · Sep 2025

From the moment I walked into Tropical Jerk, I loved the atmosphere—hearing gospel music right away spoke directly to my heart. Navi, the worker who helped me, was knowledgeable, pleasant, and suggested I try the soursop with dragonfruit, which was such a great choice. I ordered the medium oxtails with rice and peas and cabbage, and everything was absolutely amazing—flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. This place truly feels blessed, and I pray they continue to allow God’s presence to fill it. I will definitely be returning!
