“I was in the mood for a beef patty and just so happened to be in those neck of the woods. My mom had esciviche fish and a side of cabbage, and I had a medium jerk chicken with rice and peas with cabbage along with 2 mild beef patties. In addition we bought 2 drinks as well. Came to about $48 in total. Fish was well seasoned and tender. Chicken was jerking as it should be, and the beef patty was hot temperature-wise and tasted fresh. Also, the service personnel had a pleasant demeanor and gave a decent portion size.“

“Let me tell you something. Lisa and Pete will make sure you have the absolute birthday. Somehow someway they brought out moves I haven’t pulled out in years. The food! They take their time because it is mouth watering. The drinks…. Well the first time I didn’t remember… but the second and third. Let’s just say it’s a good time all the time.“

“Ok so I ordered shark and bake and 2 order of doubles. They were very unorganized and the men acted like they didn’t wanna work! But this young lady! She gave us communication, told us its gonna be a wait that she had to handmade everything! She literally handmade the bakes from scratch! Fried the shark! Handmade the doubles! I seen her cook my food as i sat watched and ate my doubles waiting for the sandwich! I appreciate that young lady. The food was so good! She’s the ONLY reason why i would ho back there!! If she’s not there whenever i go i turn right around!“

“I’m new to the area…. And If you’re looking for a meal that hits every note of flavor and comfort, the oxtail and fresh roti here are an absolute must. The oxtail is cooked to perfection—tender, fall-off-the-bone, and seasoned with rich spices that soak into every bite. The gravy is bold, hearty, and full of depth, perfect for scooping up with their freshly made roti. Speaking of the roti, it’s soft, warm, and flaky, the ideal partner to the savory oxtail. Together, it’s the kind of dish that feels like home—authentic, flavorful, and made with care. Hands down, some of the best oxtail and roti I’ve ever had!“

“I had Soumie for the first time and it was amazing ! The food tasted fresh and good, the service was good. She was very patient with and very honest. I love Hatian food and culture so this place made it even 100% knowing it's right by my home and it's fresh with good flavor. I love it definitely recommended!“

“I've been to several Tropical Jerk locations (Uniondale, Baldwin), and I’d say this Roosevelt spot is the least crowded, which is a big plus. The parking lot does fill up quickly because of other places on the strip, so keep that in mind when you head over.

A heads-up for breakfast lovers: many Jamaican spots, including this one, stop serving breakfast pretty early, so if you're in the mood for ackee and dumplings, make sure you get there early enough!

Speaking of which, I had the ackee and fried dumpling. The ackee was tasty but a bit watery, which knocked it down a bit for me. On the flip side, the fried dumplings were great size, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and at the ideal temp.

Pricing is standard for Jamaican spots in the area, so you won't find anything too out of the ordinary there. One thing to note is that they don't take over-the-phone orders, so I recommend calling ahead to check if they have what you're craving before making the trip

Overall, it's a solid spot.“

“Best tasting Caribbean Food !!!! ?“
