Had the curry goat and it was amazing.

The cabbage and collard greens were both exemplary.

Highly recommend.

“the ox tails with the beans and rice. yes sir“

“My favorite Jamaican in Philly to date, and I've tried a few. Tender, saucy oxtails over herby rice and peas, curry goat that warms you all the way down, balanced jerk with just the right spice, and to make it an even easier pitch: helpings so large they could kill a man. Cash only, so make sure you've got some, and banter with the guys through the grate window while you're waiting - they're awfully funny.“

“The food is great and worth the price.“

“🤤 food, service, atmosphere, kindness...its all there and its excellent. Ive had other jerk from another spot in philly and it made me wanna get a refund. But this place RIGHT HERE IS WORTH IT! I prefer spicier jerk but that is a personal preference. But it is sooooooooo good. Thank you Father and Son!“

“Pulling up to this establishment, it seemed busy on a regular evening. The ordering space is a nicely decorated space but quite small. Good size portion sizes and everything was hot and fresh. The egg rolls were fresh and creamy;full of flavor. Comes with a side of sweet & sour. The front of the house seemed a bit overwhelmed.

In summary, this place is a hidden gem of Chester. Great flavor and everyone that was going in and out the place said nothing but good things. I will definitely go back.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love this place. I've never tasted Jerk chicken so well made. The cabbage isn't spicy (I hate spicy cabbage 🥵), the yams had the perfect amount of sweetness and the plantains were fresh. I had to order delivery to see if everything was also consistent as take out & It was- A+ 💕“

“DIAMOND in the Ruff ! !

“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. 😋“

“I eat here every week it's delicious only thing it's not open everyday Wednesday through Sunday is good days so if you like good Jamaican food stop by Aunt Annie's a very good cook“

“My husband and I live an hour away and were in the area...I wanted Jamaican food. I got the Stew chicken, rice and beans and cabbage, started eating on the road riding home and OMGOODNESS!!!! This is real Jamaican food, so flavorful and delicious! You will not be disappointed“

“I had to kill time in my commute; I was right across the street, so I stopped it. I'm so glad it is the way I remember it to be 😄! This was my go-to in 2020 & 2021. Yummy food- but, NO FESTIVAL 🥲. GREAT SERVICE from the main woman that's been in the window for many years!!! I will be back!“

“We’ve been in this neighborhood for a bit and I’m so upset we haven’t been here sooner. Wowww. We got the large jerk chicken platter which comes with 2 sides. My jaw dropped when I opened the container. They know how to give you food for the price, which is a blessing with how much it can cost to eat out now a days and how some places charge so much for so little- that’s not this place. The chicken was so juicy, flavorful and tender. Collards were seasoned well and don’t get me started on the mac and cheese.. I can easily be sat in front of a whole plate of that. I wanted to call after my meal just to say thank you to whoever is in that kitchen. Thank you angels! Everyone go get yourself a platter and a yummy juice or soda. I’ll have to report back with a pic next time. Def will be ordering again! My partner is from the south too and loved it.“

“Hmmm good“

“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!“

“I ate from here a couple of times, and I honestly enjoyed and loved the food. The rice with oxtails and the rice w goat and lamb was truly the best I ever had. I want them to reopen so badly cause people out here starving for this cuisine.... I.E. ME..... Seriously great service and atmosphere and definitely top notch food for a good price. Next time they open, I'll definitely take quality pictures of the food for the people“

“I ordered Oxtail with rice and beans, and Mac and cheese for my little one. Normally I don't eat Mac and cheese but I taste it before giving my little one and the whole platter was superb, very fresh and tasty. I would definitely order there again.“

“A friend who live in West Philly brought me a oxtail platter with rice & peas & cabbage. The oxtails were tender and flavored well. The whole platter was delicious. Wish I lived nearby.“

“Chances are when you go there's gonna be a line, but that's minor because it moves quick and it's definitely worth the wait. Been coming here for years and haven't been disappointed yet. Food always good and the serving size is a lot. You can either order your food to go, or go next door and dine in.

Bought the red snapper escovitch and it was not good at all, the fish tasted frozen and off to have spent $27 I was very disappointed.“

“The food is hot, fresh and delicious. They package everything write in front of you and it's clean. My favorites are the rice and beans, cabbage and fried chicken. Everything has a good flavor. I like the fish gravy over the rice (a must try). The staff is very nice and friendly.“

“I ordered the curry chicken which was on point with flavor. The Yams were also good. I couldn't give it a 5 star rating because the Mac & cheese needs so much work. Someone's Mom need to teach them to make the mac & cheese but I wouldn't hesitate on going back to try different things“

“This is some of the best food in Philly, not only is the food excellent, but the staff is so hospitable, you feel like family. If anyone wants to experience authentic caribbean cuisine, cooked with LOVE, you gotta check out Homestyle!!“
