You will feel like you stepped off the streets of Cleveland into the Caribbean. The seasoning is just what it should be, spicy, and the jerk chicken has real delicious complex seasoning, not sweetish mild barbecue sauce like some other places. You can order milder jerk but why. Serving sizes are ample and you can have more than one meal if you can stop yourself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. The sides are all good too. I could have just the cabbage and rice or Mac and cheese and be happy. There's always a line, sometimes out the door, and be prepared for a reasonable wait. This is good food. It's very small inside and has a chair or two, no dining in.

Not too salty, nice almost egg type texture from the ackee, not much fish but still good. The Rasta pasta was full of heat along with bell peppers and some cheese on top. Great saucing of the pasta. The curried conch was supposed to be mild but was very spicy (still lots of flavor and delicious overall despite the pain). The jerk pork and festival entree came with several large dense moist fried dough balls and a large helping of pork pieces smothered in a spicy jerk sauce. Only one or two small bone pieces which I appreciate!

Very unprofessional. When I walked in to order my food, the lady just looked at me without…read moreacknowledging me. I ordered an oxtail meal and was told it came with 4 oxtails. When I received my food, I only got 2 oxtails and 2 very small bones with barely any meat on them. Paying $24 for that is ridiculous. On top of that, the cabbage was HARD and not cooked properly. I'm highly disappointed with my experience. Definitely not worth $24, and I DO NOT recommend!

There was no indication of any jerk rub or seasoning, rather the chicken was heavily smoked. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious. There was just no jerk seasoning to it. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing or needed to specify I wanted sauce on it, I'm not sure. It did come with small containers of sauce, both hot and mild. The mild was more like a sweet barbecue sauce, and the hot was like a very, very hot barbecue sauce. The rice and peas were good, flavorful, and fluffy. The cabbage was good, but didn't seem to contain anything except for cabbage and seasoning. I'm used to some onions, peppers, etc. The portions were large but it's not cheap. The large lunch portions were $18 each. Overall, the food was good in the service was fast.

How does Irie Jamaican Kitchen continue to thrive and expand when they dish out such MASSIVE…read morePORTIONS!? I don't understand their business model but I am so glad I came here to try Irie after living only 12 minutes away from their Euclid location for the past 4 years! They now have 5 locations in NE Ohio. I wanted to get carryout food from a place nearby that I have never been to and also cross an item off the checklist in my Cleveland Eats bucket list book. See picture. So after some scrolling on Yelp, my bf and I decided on Irie. I am not too familiar with this area as I usually have no reason to come here but I found street parking easily at about 645pm on a Friday. Inside, it is very small and only one person was working and I was 4th in line so I waited in line for what felt like ages! This definitely does not move quickly like other fast casual restaurants. Be aware of this when timing out your dinner. We didn't know any better about the huge portion sizes so we each got chicken boxes with a side of cabbage and fried plantains. I got TWO massive bone in chicken thighs on top of four heaping scoops of Jamaican rice. My bf got a mix of jerk chicken cubes and savory chicken cubes. He liked the savory chicken better, especially as it was dripping in a slightly spicy gravy. We got a "reasonable" amount of cabbage and plantains but the person in front of me got double sides of macaroni and cheese and I swear it was about 5 cups of mac and cheese! Total came out to about 35 bucks after adding in a 3 dollar tip and a $4.50 rum cake to share the next day. Since we haven't eaten the cake yet, I can't comment on that but it smells strongly of rum! Very excited to get into that! So we finished off our boxes and ended the night in food comas and cod barely focus on our annual watch of Pride and Prejudice (2005) we watch on our anniversary. Sorry Mr. Darcy!!! But yes, on a day when I am wanting massive amounts of cheap, delicious food, I'll definitely come back here!

We have visited Tropical Bay about 3x past 2 weeks or so. Saludos to Joelys that has been our…read morehostess/waitress/ from the very beginning. This place is worth the visit. 1st time: Our waitress was Janayla. It's the first time we have ever seen her, she is new. What a great addition to the team. She was so professional, respectful and you can really see she loves working with people, all smiles, very attentive and helpful. 2nd time: We are on our way to visit family, we asked if they wanted something to eat. We sent them a link to their website menu, and they texted their order. This time we ordered front in the front. Wilson one of the owners was taking our order. That man gets dressed with patience in his sleeves... lol. He was so good to us as we were trying to get everyone's orders right. 3rd time: Today August 22, 2026 - My husband asked me what do you want for lunch as we were driving back from Ukraine Parade in Parma. I said nothing, not hungry. He said what about Tropical Bay! He knew I would change my mind. This time Joelys took care of us. She's been there ever since we started going. Wonderful young lady and I know she's been rightfully going up the ranks at the restaurant and given more responsibility. She does a great job! Already knows what I order and all the intricacies. She's always happy to see the customers. Through every visit if the owners are there, especially Diana she makes it a point to come see us and takes a few minutes to say hello. They are salt to this earth wonderful, hardworking people. My favorite: Fried Pork with Tostones - I love all their food but I'm Latina so I make all these foods, I don't make the pork bites and tostones. These are melt in your mouth. My husbands: Tri Fongo with Shrimp, Cuban Rice, Rice and Bean The food I took my guest that they loved, Beef Pastelillos/Empanadas, Dominican Chicken, Butter Chicken, Puerto Rican Rice and Beans The place looks so cute and celebratory. Music playing, the Tropical Feeling, it's so nice. You will not be disappointed. I have severe food allergies and this is the only place I trust with my life.

We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Wow, this place was really good!…read more I met a friend for brunch in Ohio City, and the place we planned to go had a 45 minute wait, so we went for a walk and to see what else was open. Johnny Mango was open, and had plenty of tables at 10:30, but had filled up by the time we left. My friend sold me on the place as a Mexican restaurant, but it isn't that. The food is fresh and healthy, with creative options, and an intriguing juice bar! Because my friend had been there, I just duplicated her order - chicken and black bean quesadilla, with avocado. We got the Big Plate to try the sides. Wow. The quesadilla is stuffed, but not super cheesy, which until now, I didn't know was an option. The tortilla is cooked so that it crisps up, and looked too big to finish, but I was wrong. Sides today were Jasmine rice and the Happy Beans, which were cannelini beans today. They were so good! and a slaw that was great! I had coffee and a fizzy mango lime spritz juice that wasn't too sweet but tasted great. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their Big Plates - the chicken dishes look intriguing, and some of the apps looked pretty good too! They also have a rotating margarita section....

The ambiance is fun and funky, and from what we remember from years ago, the food used to be good…read more Yes, I said used to be, because this time we didn't even get that far. We hadn't been in a while and decided to give Johnny Mango another try tonight. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment, and after this experience, we will never be back. We understand that service and food can take a little longer here, but waiting TWO HOURS without receiving our food while watching other tables get served is absolutely ridiculous. At that point, everyone in our party was hungry, frustrated, and ready to leave. When we went to the bar to cash out our drinks, the server/bartender wearing the tie-dye shirt, who wasn't even our server, decided to chime in with an unnecessarily nasty attitude. What could have been a simple, understandable situation turned into an even worse experience because of her rude demeanor and complete lack of customer service. It's disappointing to see a place we used to enjoy leave such a bad impression.
