“Wonderful place for a nice romantic meal!Hubz and I decided to try this place for an anniversary lunch. Although you wouldn't be able to tell from outside, this is a nice, quiet little gem.We were seated immediately by our waiter. (I must say, I was surprised that the only waiter in this black establishment was white), just something I noticed. He was really nice and welcoming.Their menu can be found online by scanning a QR.It's pretty straightforward. They have a nice selection of creative dishes.We ordered some wings for appetizers.I ordered Shrimp and Chicken Rasta Pasta. Hubz ordered the fish and waffles dish. He got a ginger beer, and I got a tropical ginger juice.The meal was delicious! Everythingwas seasoned and cooked perfectly!Compliments to the chef! 5 ?After our meal, the owner (I believe) came by and told us about a Valentines Day event they were having with a live band and specials.Along with all my normal ones, we had to take a pic with our waiter as well because he was so friendly.“

“I have been a patron of Jaggie's for many years! We usually take out but my mother and I decided to eat in today. The staff is always friendly and warm, the food is prepared well and seasoned to perfection, there are many options of food to eat and we are always pleased with our choices be it breakfast ackee and saltfish, or porridge or perhaps ox tails, curry, soup, whatever! It's always to perfection! My first choice for Jamaican food in and around Philadelphia is Jaggie's! Go see for yourself! You will be happy that you did! :)“

“This is THE BEST Jamaican food in Philadelphia and has been FOR DECADES. It has always been consistent in terms of service and quality of food.Their curry and jerk dishes are my go-to. It never disappoints and is as close as u will get to authentic Jamaican food in Philly.The cooks have always been very nice.Treat this as a takeout spot. It is cash only. While they have seating, just grab ur food and go LoL.“

“I had the Jerk Chicken and it was really good. The Jerk isn’t overly spicy and tasty. Mac is good enough, and taste better than it looks. Yams really good not overly sweet, just perfect. Seafood salad isn’t sweet, more of a seasoned taste to it, different from what I’m used to but good. Great portion sizes. 1 platter and a few additional sides fed me, my wife, and 2 toddlers. I will order again, definitely want to try them turkey wings.“

“Been passing by this gem for a few weeks and finally came in. Small place but very cozy! The staff was also fantastic! The food was fantastic as well! Got a delicious oxtail and jerk chicken. It was spicy , it has been awhile since I had some, even spicy I did enjoyed the food!“

“Straight (3) 5 stars well deceit restaurant. Love the food, Mac & cheese, Yams and Jerk Chicken so delicious! Take a chance with it, a pure gem. Had to travel out to Camden NJ for my soul food, found something better, cheaper and best of all very close to home.“

“My favorite from Tropical Choice is the curry chicken or oxtails. This restaurant never lets me down. The food is always hot, ready and delicious! The quality of the food is ALWAYS A1! The owners of this restaurant are always polite and patient! LOVE IT HERE“

“Friendly owner and very yummy food. I went with a couple of my friends, we all got different things and everyone loved their food. My friend was born in Jamaica and it got her stamp of approval. It doesn't really have an ambiance, the tables are close together and it looks kind of dull in there so if you're looking to have a nicer sit down meal I wouldn't really recommend. Its pretty casual, but hey were here for the food and it was delicious. Prices were fair too.“

“I just ordered a large lamb chop platter with Mac and cheese and cabbage picky as I am with food I love jam rock food so much its always well seasoned tender and made with love ❤️ I appreciate all the ladies at jam rock who work hard to deliver the best Jamaican food I ever had I also appreciate the order taker today she's so kind and sweet and even in person I'll never stop buying your food and hope yall never leave .. if u do leave I wanna go ?“

“So I love Jamaican food, preferably Curry goat. I was craving some for lunch today my and Blue Lagoon was less than a minute from job. I seen it had pretty good reviews but wanted to try for my self. I was not disappointed. The owner was very nice and Holds his service and food to a very high standard for his customers. He has a open kitchen so you can see everything in the back and it was so clean. I got a curry coat platter with rice and peas Mac and cheese and a Tingz grapefruit soda. Everything was delicious I had so much food, it ended up being my dinner too! Will definitely be back very soon! I spent about $23 on my food and drink and left him a $3 tip.“

“Food is Okay , sometimes the curry goat is too spicy to the point you cant taste the food! the mac and cheese doesn't have flavor ! I recommend the cabbage over the greens ! Beef patty's are good! Fried chicken sometimes too soggy !“

“The food was very good. The oxtail were very tender falling of the bone. The platter had a lot of rice and peas and cabbage. I had a medium platter. The only thing I wish was different was the amount of the meat. It only had 4 oxtail in the platter.“

“Rum punch with overproof-rum hits like a freight train. food is beautifully prepared. tacos, bruschetta, wings and ribs are super delicious the location is top-choice and safe with plenty of good street parking on 40th (Market through Walnut) and Chestnut (39th to 41st) the outside seating is fun and super classy in their tucked-away, private alcove) the wait staff & bartenders are GREAT and attentive.“

“Hands down one of the best Jamaican spots around. The owner/cook reminds me of the dad from the Sean Paul-Get busy video. ?,,,I’ve had the curry chicken,the fish but my favorite is the jerk chicken. He grills that chicken to perfection every time! The mac n cheese is always good af to even they do give you the end of the pan.“

“I randomly stopped in today, after having a taste for some red snapper. First time here and hands down the best red snapper I’ve ever had. My whole platter was amazing, the cabbage, Mac and cheese, and the rice and peas. They even put some oxtail gravy on my rice. You will need a nap after a dish like the one I had today. “

“We stumbled upon Zum Zam a few months ago. The food is amazing! We ordered a smorgasbord of food and everything was absolutely delicious!We live an hour away and are back for more! We are more than satisfied with their food, service and welcoming vibe.“

“Won’t loss in this place , price and size and taste is really as their name , Too taste .$15 for large platter take out , jerk chicken with 2 side , rice and bean and cabbage mix . So tasty, juicy chicken , everything in point . I will be back !“

“I haven't had Jamaican food in a while. Not because I didn't want any but it was hard to find good food. Well I stopped by Irie today for lunch and I have found a solid spot! I ordered jerk chicken, rice and peas and plantains. Let's talk about the jerk chicken. Outside of getting jerk chicken in JA it's hard to find jerk that comes close. Irie's jerk is slightly smoky, salty, sweet with a nice kick which is a nice balance when paired with rice and peas. The bonus was the oxtail gray on the rice! Oh. MY. God. The gravy was a nice treat because there were tiny chunks of oxtail meat in it. The plantains were firm but sweet and just right. The service was great because I was told in advance that I would have to wait 10 minutes for the plantains which I could've opted out and chose something else but I wasn't in a rush. Overall I had a great experience and will be back for the escovitch. If you know you know. Also, the beef patty with a coco bread...magic.“

“After arriving back into the United States ??, it was time for a well deserved snack. The airlines don’t offer more than a few cookies and a beverage. After more than 4-hours of travel, it was time for break before heading home ?. The cinnamon pretzels were delicious and enjoyable.“
