Tropical Time caribbean cuisine

This place is a Caribbean culinary gem! Everything was beyond amazing. If you thought you've had delicious jerk chicken before, you haven't tried amazing jerk chicken until you've tried TT's! Everything here was spectacular, and the chef/owner makes everyone feel at home! Can't wait to go back!

Glad to see this place reopen in the west burbs! Food still remains delicious. I got the jerk plate with rice and beans and plantains and it hit the spot. Got a patty for nostalgic reasons and it was nice and flaky and what I remember. Prices are up but that's universally applicable. I'll be back. Ok. I went back to try brown stew chicken with coconut rice and plantains. I'm not sure if it was the chicken or the rice that didn't taste right but something was definitely off. The plantains were great. I'll stick to jerk chicken.

While stopped at the stop light, I looked to my left and spoted the Jerk Chicken sign! I flipped a U-turn and headed right in! I ordered Jerk Chicken dark meat a side of Rice n Peas, candied yams and of course had to go extra for the best plantains ever! Tried a side of the mild jerk sauce. Worth every penny for sure. Can't wait to try the oxtail next. Amazingly authentic and delicious! I'll drive from Bartlett again to grab my next meal soon. Thank you!

Went to the restaurant's new location and I will be returning! Happy to have Tropical Time back! I can definitely say that my food was made with love. Still taste delicious and the portions still very fulfilling. Entrees only including two sides instead of three like previously. I wish rice n peas were atleast included with all entrees plus the two sides that we pick. There's also new menu items like brown stew chicken, jerk pasta, & jerk wraps etc.

JERK CHICKEN is the sign outside Google maps doesnt use this as an identifier for restaurant For months i thought the place closed down or hadnt open. Well stopped in and had the jerk chicken, curry chicken, plantains, mac n’ cheese and cabbage. Curry was stellar followed by beans and rice then the jerk. Mac n cheese and cabbage were both good…nothing special but tasty none the less. I gave service five stars not because you have a waiter and people filling your goblets but because the chef/owner was a delight. Very friendly and personable. I will be going again and again as there are at least 4 more things to try. The prices are average but worth it. I do wish for people dining in they used washable ware and steel utensils. But hey, thats me… i really hate plastic and landfill.
