I love their jerk chicken and really appreciate one of the guys who works the register (maybe one of the owners).. I have been coming here for years. Back in July, on the day my father passed away, I went to pick up some food. This guy immediately noted I was having a bad day because I wasn't smiling like I normally do. He was so kind and empathetic, as was every customer there also waiting for their food. You cannot put a price on kindness.

Very good island food. The jerk wasn’t too spicy and the rice was light and fluffy and the cabbage was on point. The CS was very good. Thanx from a Puerto Rican island Gal. ??????

I had been hearing good things so I decided to check this place out for years.Cashier is a short/slightly rude(SNUCK IN A EXTRA CHARGE SEE AT THE END OF REVIEW)Food seemed old LIKE IT HAD BEEN SITTING. Went for lunch but took it to go didn't have enough time to sit down so ate in car. Food was not fresh. It was lunch time so seem like it would have been a little fresher....rice and peas were warm but had a flavor.... and the jerk chicken was warm(no steam)dry and had no flavor. The portions were hefty(which was good) Maybe it was an off day because I am seeing good reviews. The container they put the food in wasn't even giving off heat...and I didn't have time to go back and complain because like I said it was to go we were pressed for time. Three reasons I won't return.1) When you walk in you should be greeted with kindness and patience there was NONE (first impression are everything when I spend my money2) Food was just barely warm3) The food overflowed container wouldn't close on any of them.....I mentioned if they had bags she said yes...but then charge 50cts we didn't realize the charge until she ran the card...we spent over $40 AND YOU COULDN'T GIVE US A FREE BAGSORRY I CANNOT GIVE THEM A GOOD REVIEW AND WON'T GO BACK

The food is mediocre. The staff is friendly and respectful but they need lessons on how to share food . The presentation of the food turns me off.

They say NJ is one of the WORSE states for Jamaican food. They haven't visited Tropical Flavors.The food here is as authentic as you can get. The Cow Foot soup I've purchased every Tuesday since before Covid. The Goat Head on Fridays & Stew Peas on Saturdays *Chef's Kiss* I've purchased soup every Tues, Fri & Sat from 2019- Present... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ? I'd recommend the Soups, the BB-Fry, Oxtail, oh the Fry Chicken ?, the Curry Goat, & my ABSOLUTE Favorite dish on the menu is the Escovitch Fish that's made to order. IT'S A MUST TRY!! I have family members that drive up from Ewing & Cherry Hill just to get food from here. They leave with 5-6trays sometimes.The staff is friendly & super respectful & always greet you with a smile. The energy/ vibe at the restaurant is very inviting.I Recommend. I Recommend. 10 of of 10 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This place is horrible. The oxtails undercooked rubbish and dry curry chicken over cooked stringy burnt dry. This is my third time giving this local business a chance. Never Again and I’m putting a review to save the next person.
