I absolutely love their beef patties and coco bread! It’s a hit every time. 😋

Tropicana Eatery serves delicious Caribbean-inspired dishes with flavorful options like curry chicken, jerk chicken, oxtails, and curry goat. This family-owned restaurant has been operating for over 20 years, delivering not just tasty food but heart and heritage in every dish. The atmosphere is simple, reminiscent of Caribbean eateries, though it is counter service and carryout only. The service is friendly and has been noted as consistently on point, although some customers suggest that staff could be more polite. While portions may have decreased slightly, the flavors remain consistent and satisfying. The food is always freshly cooked, and excellent jerk chicken is available every day, with fried fish served on weekends. Many customers find the oxtails to be tender and fall-off-the-bone, and curry goat is also highly enjoyed. Guests can savor meals accompanied by sides like peas, rice, and plantains, all at an affordable price point. For those who appreciate authentic flavors, Tropicana Eatery is a great spot to grab food while driving by. While there may be a delay due to other customers or food preparation, the food is most definitely worth the wait.
