“My husband loves Jamaican food and this is the most authentic he has found anywhere nearby. The owners are wonderful and the food is always consistent. My personal favorite is the curried goat - my husband has tried everything and always been happy.“

“Humble and proper. The food speaks for itself.
Had the curry goat and it was amazing.
The cabbage and collard greens were both exemplary.
Highly recommend.

“Yes, I wish I had taken a picture of my breakfast—saltfish and callaloo with fried dumplings (guilt snack—saltfish fritters). But that morning, I was rushing to work remotely. Their food is one of the dishes closest to my mom's breakfast. Guess what? I'm back from Rochester. My closest friend lives in Philly—huge advantage! Heeeyyy I'm back!! I'll order some breakfast dishes (maybe dinner dishes)!“

“I don’t live in Philly, but every time I come, the food is a must have for me. I love how the owner connects with all her customers and makes everyone feel like family. The food is truly a gift from God. I feel like I become a better man every time I eat her food.“

“Pictured is a small oxtail platter with cabbage from one of the many times I've gone to Brown Sugar. They never disappoint, I'm a huge fan of their goat roti, bread pudding, & doubles. If I could give this place more stars I would!“
“Great Food and Great Vibes🎵🎵“

“Yum yum good. They pile it high with flavorful food. Pays to buy it vs trying to make it yourself. Would give 5 stars only negative is little salty but that's because I need low salt diet“

“I've been here 7 times since I first tried it, and they always nail it. The flavors are amazing, and the portions are the best in the city. It's takeout only, but their food is totally worth it. The yams, curry chicken, and red beans with rice are the best I've ever had.“

“First time ordering here I ordered the large curry chicken with white rice cabbage and two jerk rolls...Portion nice amount of meat no complaints about the platter. Nowwww the jerk rolls my fiancee swallowed his he said it's spicy I was into the second bite I said ohh no I can't do it lol leave that to the spicy eaters lol“

“I love this place. If you are ever in philly you must try this Ghanian spot! If you like spicy this is the place. If you like rice get the jollof! My favorite is light soup with fufu. The peanut litter soup is bomb! Matter fact just eat everything. Only come if you have time to enjoy. Service is not typical of most American dinner time standards. Call ahead to ensure they are open that weekend! I wish they delivered via an app. But still worth going for the experience.“

“Easily the best oxtails I’ve had & you can’t beat the price point. The food is so delicious time and time again. I consistently order on DoorDash and delivery is always fast. The food is fresh and they’ve never let me down. I want to try other options one day, but the oxtails got me hooked.“

“I came here a few days ago after not visiting for a while, you know how life gets lol. I had a taste for some Jamaican food and my daughter had a platter she said she got from Top Taste. Whole time the platter was from a place I frequent. Anyway, the young lady who took my order was so pleasant and I’m very big on great customer service. Her pleasantries alone made me want to return. The food was delicious too:)“

“Just upsets me that I’m never able to get food from here as much as I would like because the store doesn’t stay open later and they aren’t open on Saturdays. I love when the man is there he cooks everything perfect and his customer service is amazing along with everyone else who works there. Best in the city.“
“Came here on a Friday afternoon. It wasn’t crowded at all. The cashier was very nice. I got a large curry chicken with Mac & cheese & cabbage. It was soooo much food. 3 adults & a child ate from it & we were all satisfied. The food was super super good! I will definitely be back! Lowkey my new favorite spot! I’ll take this over McDonald’s any day!“

“Food was fye. I had the jerk chicken egg rolls and honey wings. It took 30 minutes for me to get the food. I went right before closing so that may have been why. The cashier helped me figure out what was good since I’m visiting from Memphis.“

“I stopped in because I found the restaurant on Phillyblackowned.com, a map for black owned businesses in Philly. I'm so happy that I found this business. The owner is very friendly, made me feel welcomed, and the food is delicious. I ordered the lamb with rice, and it was so tasty, I had to share my experience. I'll definitely be back.“

“OMG They have AWESOME Oxtail. I went to this Jamaican restaurant for lunch and I ordered macaroni and cheese and corn bread and I noticed they had oxtail on their menu and I told they lady who worked there that I never had oxtail and I was told by my family and friends that oxtail is so good so the the lady asked if I wanted to order a platter I said no because I already brought fried chicken and I just want the Mac and cheese and corn bread to eat with my chicken so she was kind enough to ask me if I wanted to sample the oxtail and I said yes she then hand me a small cup with oxtail and gravy. OMG that oxtail was tender and falling off the bone. It tasted like beef stew and the gravy was AWESOME so awesome that I was licking the gravy off my fingers. I will definitely be ordering a oxtail platter from this restaurant in the near future. 😋“

“Mr. Jerk has some of the best food I’ve had! The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy, the yams were amazing, and the rice and peas were full of flavor. On top of that, the service was top-tier—friendly, fast, and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“For a taste of the Caribbean in Philly, Tropical Choice Jamaican & American Restaurant is the place to be! This spot is beloved for its authentic Jamaican dishes like jerk chicken, curry goat, and oxtails, all bursting with flavor. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it a favorite among locals. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or a quick bite, their menu has something for everyone. Don’t miss out on their delicious sides like plantains and rice and peas. It’s a culinary adventure you won’t forget!“
“Food is really good the sweet and sour chicken and the vegetables fried rice is old school Chinatown quality. The owners are very friendly and hard working. They have a large variety of drinks to quench every thirst pallet. The area is a little Philly war zone so a bulletproof vest maybe needed hopefully not. All in all I would rate it 5 hood stars ⭐️“

“The food was definitely official my 1st time coming but the prices and how the charge extra for different sides was a little outta pocket. I got oxtail, mac n cheese, yams. I was charge for yams and Mac extra. The Mac was definitely homemade.Customer Service was horrible, the light skin lady very rude I ask 2 questions she kept saying do you want the food or not. I said yes twice. There's too many jamaican spots or food spots for that to be treated rude.“

“Excellent food for the price. There's always a long line of people, which makes it quality food if people keep going back.
Kid-friendliness: My son has milk allergy and I was able to get the Caribbean J*** rice lettuce tomato and the side dish of beans and something else and it was like under $25 and we got Mexican soda and a dessert we shared the Mexican soda but he couldn't have the dessert cuz it wasn't dairy free the whole family was able to share the largest dish so it was enough for the whole family“

“Omg. I love this place! As y'all know I'm hooked on the red snapper. So fresh seasoned to perfection the perfect sauce light sweetness flavor on point and not too spicy. I was hesitant about a stew fish at first because I like my food cooked well but was able to order it well done and it's been my go to since. If you want chicken the jerk chicken is great and this is the only place i can eat all the beans and rice and cabbage . I also ordered Mac and cheese and that was good also . I ordered last minute and Ms.Tiny came through for me and cooked my order!.RED SNAPPER OF COURSE . and I also got a tuna salad..I didn't try my salad.yet
.like who does that ??? Make your order near the closing time . She did ..
Lol...You gotta.order here PERIOD!!!“
