This restaurant is great for what it's good for. Get great take out food. I got the oxtail and as always it hits. I haven't tried many other items there but the oxtail is one item I know will always be great. The soup is also an item that is always going to be great especially on Fridays.
Hands down this is my favorite Jamaican restaurant in Nassau County! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and always welcoming. I had to leave a review because yesterday in particular I had the most amazing Mac n’ Cheese and for the first time I had their whiting and it was incredible! Big up to Tropical Jerk for always delivering on impeccable flavor and good vibes!
Oh, and let me not forget my server, Eva! He truly represents the brand and embodies what great customer service should feel like, attentive, personable, and full of positive energy. It’s one thing to enjoy great food, but when the experience is matched with warmth and professionalism, that’s what keeps you coming back. Can’t wait for my next visit!
I've been to several Tropical Jerk locations (Uniondale, Baldwin), and I’d say this Roosevelt spot is the least crowded, which is a big plus. The parking lot does fill up quickly because of other places on the strip, so keep that in mind when you head over.
A heads-up for breakfast lovers: many Jamaican spots, including this one, stop serving breakfast pretty early, so if you're in the mood for ackee and dumplings, make sure you get there early enough!
Speaking of which, I had the ackee and fried dumpling. The ackee was tasty but a bit watery, which knocked it down a bit for me. On the flip side, the fried dumplings were great size, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and at the ideal temp.
Pricing is standard for Jamaican spots in the area, so you won't find anything too out of the ordinary there. One thing to note is that they don't take over-the-phone orders, so I recommend calling ahead to check if they have what you're craving before making the trip
Overall, it's a solid spot.
