Tropic Island Jerk Chicken is a casual eatery serving Caribbean-inspired dishes. The menu features a variety of options, including the 1/2 white meat dinner with sides like Mac & greens and Alfredo. The restaurant is known for its flavorful jerk chicken and tender curry goat, which are often highlighted in reviews. Portions are generous, and the food is generally well-liked, with many customers enjoying the savory sauces that tie the dishes together. The plantains are noted for being caramelized and delicious, and the steamed cabbage is a good veggie side. However, service can sometimes be inconsistent, with reports of long wait times and items being out of stock, such as plantains. The atmosphere is laid-back, but customers have suggested that improvements, like better ventilation, could make the space more comfortable, especially during hot days. Despite some drawbacks, Tropic Island Jerk Chicken remains a popular spot for flavorful Caribbean dishes in the area.
