I was here a couple weeks ago and the food is always a hit the service can be hit or miss. I use to live in the area and would come here often it was good then and still good now. I just suggest they upgrade it get a form of ventilation it was 90 plus degrees the day I came and the lobby area was even hotter their was a very small fan if I blinked too fast I would have missed it. I enjoyed my food but please make the lobby more accommodating for the long wait.
The best Jamaican food. Generous portions. Tender and succulent curry goat wth so much flavor. They were nestled on top of fragrant red beans and rice. The plantains were amazingly caramelized, and the steamed cabbage was the perfect veggie side. Great jerk chicken and beef patties as well. Their sauce tied the whole meal together-i put that on errythang! So good!
Hit up Tropic Island Jerk Chicken on 79th and grabbed the D1 – ½ Jerk Mixed Chicken Dinner for $14.75. Came with rice and peas, mac & cheese, and cabbage. Chicken was smoky and tender, and the mac was creamy—real comfort food. Only downside was the wait; took about 20 minutes, and they were out of plantains. Still, the flavors hit just right.
