Irie Reggae Grill (Formerly Tropical Flare Restaurant)

Best Rasta pasta I’ve ever had, the jerk chicken was smoky and juicy. Very authentic Jamaican food. The vibes makes you feel like you’re in Jamaica. The owners are very welcoming and friendly, great customer service. Will definitely be back!

Came from newyork with my family an stopped at this hole in the wall to get something to eat today an we got ourselves some oxtail for about 60$, the food was the most horrible,tasteless an hard oxtail to bite of the bone oxtail this was horrible will never return to this place again I was very disappointed in food.

This right here is a good ol Jamaican spot where they apparently cook fresh off the stove it feels like but the wait time is so worth it. Like I came here thinking I’m just gonna be safe grab a beef patty ended up getting jerk chicken platter twice and don’t forget that BBQ nawe

Let me tell you. This place is absolutely uh-mazing !!!! My friend and I were shopping at the outlets back in April and wanted something to eat after our shopping spree. We found this eatery from our search and were so satisfied with all their flavors! They were almost closing. But they welcomed us with no problem. I chose the curried goat and she ordered the ox tail and we ordered the rasta pasta to share. I took my first bite of that curried goat and my ice rolled back from the explosion of flavors! My friend also had the same look when she tried her dish! The whole time we were eating, we couldn’t stop raving on how delicious their food was. We both lived in NY and have tried dozens of Jamaican food. And we both agreed that Irie Raggae Grill is one of the best we’ve ever had. I’ve been craving their food and will be back soon! Omg 😍🤤😍😋❗️

This review is longggggg overdue but as I’m about to be in the area again i just remembered to add a review lol the service was amazing ! The food was authentic and flavorful . I needed food catered for my son’s birthday at kalahari and they did not disappoint. My guests loved the food ESPECIALLY the jerk chicken and the SAUCE , we will definitely be back!!!!

Parking a little rough but food 👍 👌 great

Delicious authentic Jamaican food. Friendly service. I tried their Oaxtail with rice and sweet plantain. Also the sweet coconut drop. Super good

This place is the most authentic Jamaican spot I've tried so far living in pennsylvania. The place is off the road it's small and cute but very cozy. They have indoor seating and a beautiful large grill outside. The staff is friendly and the place smells good. The food is covered and kept clean. I got the curried goat and my friend got the jerk chicken. They asked if we wanted more sauce on our rice and made sure our food was served to us. Food was hot and tasted amazing.

Was in the area for business and try the oxtail plate. So good I had to stop by to get another order before driving back to Brooklyn! Can’t wait to be back and try some more items on the menu. ??

Visited on 8/18/2024 about 6.30pm was told my food was made to order and it will take about 25 to 30 minutes no worries I’m not in a rush so we ordered one hour later our food is ready Jerk Salmon with beans & rice & salad this was OK but the beans & rice was bland and you could count the beans next was coconut curry shrimp which was very disappointing very bland with no taste of coconut or curry and the rice & beans was bland next was OXTAIL which was overcooked and dry the Rasta Pasta was ok but lacked flavor next was Jerk Chicken with beans & rice the chicken was overcooked and dry very disappointing the only thing that was ok was the Mac and cheese for the little one about 6 customers came through while we were waiting and at least 3 complained about service and quality I thought I would at least have some tasty food in the Poconos but I was disappointed

I don't know if I was being pranked but the food here was not great . I don't know if there was a different cook but the Jerk chicken was a 3/10 especially for the amount you get and the price . And my order of Oxtails peas and rice was more Rice then Oxtails. The steamed Cabbage had a faint smell to them so I tossed them in the trash. Me being a butcher and them feeding me Oxtails not to par was not exceptional. I had also asked to add fried plantains to my order and they only put One slice of fried plantain in my order like it was a war going on and we were living on ration. My order had more rice than everything else and four pieces of Oxtails but really two whole pieces and two Oxtails that were cut in half to make two sad. Plus the Oxtails were dry with no sauce. This dish 2/10 . For the distance to get to this place plus the price is definitely not worth the drive.

The food is very delectable and authentic. The food is truly Jamaican, the food brought back memories of St.Thomas jerk chicken in Jamaica. The jerk sauce is truly delicious, full of flavor and spice and the curry goat extremely tasty, full of flavor. The staff and the food left a great impression, the place is a must if you're at Great Wolf Lodge, Camel Back Mountain or just in the PA area. EXCELLENT FOOD !!!

I'm so glad I made the hour-long drive to this hidden gem! As someone from the Allentown/Easton area, I've been disappointed with the Jamaican food options locally. But this restaurant truly delivers! The customer service was top-notch (A1, as we say!) and the food was authentic and delicious. Paula was professional and answered all my questions.

Their jerk chicken is the real deal - they actually jerk the chicken in a drum pan, just like back home. And the rice and peas? Taste just like my grandmother's cooking in Jamaica! It was like a taste of home.

The drive was well worth it, and I'll definitely be back. If you're craving authentic Jamaican cuisine, don't hesitate to make the trip. Your taste buds will thank you!
