Tropical Jerk Roosevelt

I was absolutely blown away by the food, especially the stew pork and the Rasta pasta. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and you can truly tell it was made with love and the utmost care. Huge big up to Chef Omar he really did his thing in the kitchen. The quality alone convinced me that I will definitely be back, especially on the days he’s cooking. Highly recommend everyone check this restaurant out!

This restaurant is great for what it's good for. Get great take out food. I got the oxtail and as always it hits. I haven't tried many other items there but the oxtail is one item I know will always be great. The soup is also an item that is always going to be great especially on Fridays.

I've been to several Tropical Jerk locations (Uniondale, Baldwin), and I’d say this Roosevelt spot is the least crowded, which is a big plus. The parking lot does fill up quickly because of other places on the strip, so keep that in mind when you head over. A heads-up for breakfast lovers: many Jamaican spots, including this one, stop serving breakfast pretty early, so if you're in the mood for ackee and dumplings, make sure you get there early enough! Speaking of which, I had the ackee and fried dumpling. The ackee was tasty but a bit watery, which knocked it down a bit for me. On the flip side, the fried dumplings were great size, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and at the ideal temp. Pricing is standard for Jamaican spots in the area, so you won't find anything too out of t

Chicken is so dry you’d mistake it for poorly cooked turkey. The rice and peas were decent, I’d get crunch from hard pieces of rice here and there.
