This was some of the best jerk food I’ve had in a long time! My container was packed full of food, hot and fresh! I order the jerk catfish and I ate off that plate for two days.
Everything was delicious. 8.5/10!

Tropic Island Jerk Chicken is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Caribbean flavors! I tried the jerk chicken plate, and it was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with that signature smoky, spicy flavor. The sides, especially the rice and beans, were cooked perfectly and complemented the chicken beautifully. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. A fantastic neighborhood spot for hearty, flavorful Caribbean food!

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.
