The location on 79th horrible
First time I ever had Jamaican food. All I have to say is “yumm”!!! Definitely will come back!!
Honestly so good.
I got the pineapple jerk chicken, yams, rice, & greens and it was all FIREEE. The chicken was moist, the yams were perfectly seasoned, & the rice was delicious. My boyfriend got the jerk salad & really enjoyed it too! Only flaw was there was a lot of bones in his chicken in the salad which is kinda meh when you order a salad, you know? But it didn't bother him too much. The wait time was 30 minutes, so not too bad by phone order. Both our meals together...read full review

Tropic Island Jerk Chicken offers a taste of authentic Jamaican cuisine. The jerk chicken is a standout, with a flavorful sauce that can be spicy for those who enjoy it. The portion sizes are generous, and the food stays hot even after a long drive home. Customers praise the consistent taste of dishes like brown stew chicken, goat, oxtails, and catfish, often requesting oxtail gravy on the rice for extra flavor. The owners have been in business for over 40 years, which shows in their experience and dedication. When busy, the staff can be very busy, and it might be easier to place an order in person and wait. The staff members are always kind and patient, making the overall experience pleasant despite some service inconsistencies. The restaurant provides good value, though some find it a bit pricier than expected. While the food quality remains high, the catering service has faced issues, with orders sometimes canceled at the last minute due to lack of ingredients. Overall, many customers enjoy their meals here and consider it a popular choice for authentic Jamaican flavors.
