Tropical Jerk is a local restaurant that offers a variety of Jamaican-inspired dishes. The prices are generally decent, though they do charge a fee for card payments. The food is often flavorful, with the rice and peas, jerk pork, and jerk chicken receiving positive reviews. However, the jerk chicken is sometimes described as lacking the expected "jerk kick," and the shrimp can be soggy due to being smothered in sauce.
The curry goat has been hit-or-miss, with some customers finding the meat to be tough, though the flavor is still present. The oxtails are also available, but some customers have hesitated to try them due to concerns about the curry goat's tenderness.
The overall service at Tropical Jerk is mixed, with most staff being friendly, but one particular employee, a short, fair-skinned, and stocky female cashier, is often described as having a poor attitude and providing subpar customer service. Despite this, the fried chicken and pork dishes are highly praised by many customers.
