my favorite place to get oxtails, the workers are very nice and even gave me free cornbread! definitely try them out

I've been to this spot before, but they moved and I didn't know where they moved to. I had to work and someone told me they were open and I was too happy! Before I walked in, I was greeted by some other customers, but the service was amazing! The cashier was very polite and professional! I ordered my usual curry chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, and yams. As the cashier showed me my plate, it was enough for 2 people! It's always a very peaceful vibe and food made with love! if you're looking for a spot that serves you great food and worth the money, this is the spot! Definitely coming back weekly! read more

Tropical Goodies - Curry Chicken, Rice and Peas, Yams, Cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I order curry chicken didn't taste like curry rice was over cooked greens was nasty macaroni was nasty I want visit again

This has been my favorite place for a long time. I went on Saturday and was really disappointed with the portion size of the meal. To pay over $20 for a plate and i got a scoop of rice is crazy. I remember the plates used to be packed lots of rice, jerk chicken cut up nicely. None of that. Probably won't return. read more

Please note, I went to tropical goodies 2, their smaller location. The menu was limited, compared to the main location. My order was jerk chicken, rice n' peas, cabbage, collard green, fried okra Mac n cheese, sweet plantain & coco bread. $32 total. Overall, the food was pretty good, and priced very fairly. However, I would argue that this is soul food over Jamaican .. . The jerk had a faint hint of barbecue. My tummy was very full and there were enough leftovers for the next day. I will return, but also continue my search for good Jamaican food in Charlotte. read more

This is one of my favorite spots Always amazing ribs and customer services. Beef patties good as well

I got the ox tail dinner and it was delicious. The ox tails are big and cooked to perfection. The employees are always nice and polite. It's sort of a carry out but it has pic nic tables outside. Very nice especially in the spring and fall of the year. read more

Officially my number one Caribbean spot in Charlotte! I have tried almost every spot around except here and saw it on the way to Cuzzo's one day and decided to get a plate. I got rice & beans, yams, oxtails, and Mac n cheese. Their oxtails are the best and most flavorful oxtails I've had. Every other side was perfect as well. The food was hot, fresh, absolutely delicious, and not too salty, which I find a lot of people's rice to be. This will be my go to for sure. The prices are also great and the portions are super generous, the place pictured below is a small plate of oxtails. read more

Tropical Goodies - Curry Chicken Dinner (small) with Mac & Cheese and Collard Greens - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The Food was just "ok", but it wasn't Caribbean food. The food did not have the authentic spices and taste of the West Indies. I won't count this place out though. I probably just need to try something else. We ordered the fried chicken, rice and peas with Mac n cheese with potato salad, the flounder with rice n peas and oxtail gravy on all starches. The fried chicken was juicy, the rice was just okay, and the potato salad was watery. I've been told that the jerk chicken is really good, but as a Jamaican, it's hard to eat everyone's jerk chicken because a lot of places bake their chicken instead of putting it on the grill or in the pan. But I will try their food again. read more

Okay so this place. . . AMAZING FOOD!!!! I like to frequent Jamaica (on and off tourist land) and getting some curry goat that is full of flavor. . . . YES!!! One take away that I have is that they cook in bulk. So if you come in late, it may be a wrap for you. I came in ready to get some fried plantain, some chicken, and plate of curry goat. They were out of plantain, only had wingettes, but THANK GAAAWD they had my curry goat. Mind you, I came to the place late in the day. So I pretty much missed out on things because I didn't get their at a time where food was still being made. Now. . . . that MAC AND CHEESE. . . . delicious. I mean. . . man. I love a good cheesy mac and cheese and they used a different noodle which I AM HERE FOR. I wasn't much of a fan of the cabbage. The cabbage was super bland. Now, if you wanted to have a less heavy meal, you could probably ask to get the curry goat and replace the rice with the cabbage, because that goat was SSSSSOOOOOOO filled with flavor that it could have given the cabbage life easily. THE PLACE: As for sanitation, the cook had her gloves and masks while the cashier didn't. I wouldn't be concerned had she not started rubbing her nose due to an itch and . . . no sanitizer to get herself back right. . . . BUT I STILL GOT MY PLATE (lord keep me clean lol). She is a very sweet woman, but it was a toss up for me on professionalism. You could tell the cook was getting frustrated with her. You gotta find a happy medium. Oh, and this is not a place to sit and eat. There is literally no place to sit, you come specifically to come and pick up your food. You could call in, but if you ask me, you may as well just come, order, and either stand outside or in your car. Just being real with you. Long story short. . . the food is five star, but as for everything else. . . three stars at best. read more

First time for everything I called my order in for Togo. The lady told me about 20 minutes but it took about 40.The place was packed which is a good sign. I ordered jerk white meat for both combos and only got it for one. Cabbage was ok. The chicken was great, hot and so was the Mac and cheese . I will be back but allow more time next visit. read more

Tropical Goodies - Curry chicken, yams and cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Want to give them a better review, but just like Somebody else said don't even bother calling and think your food will be ready, multiple time it has not! Would be better if they called out ticket numbers or had a intercom outside for order pick up. Food is good but service can be greatly improved, Work smarter not harder read more

Came for oxtail but it was too early they weren't ready so I decided with the pepper steak over white rice with macaroni & cabbage I ate every bite everything was bursting with flavor it's been 5 days and I've thought abt that plate everyday since! I also got a side of yams and 2 slices of sweet potato cake everything was DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend you all try the pepper steak. read more

Tropical Goodies - Pepper steak macaroni and cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Had the jerked chicken and curry chicken. Felt silly with eyes closed savoring all the flavors. It's was the best choice for lunch today.

Came in right before they closed. I ordered a large plate stew chicken with rice and Mac n cheese and potato salad. It was good

The Queens of Tropical Goodies made me feel like a King. Their service was welcoming, friendly and attentive. They showed grace and respect to every customer who came through the door, all while handling multiple orders, aromas permeating the air with every new dish served! Sincerely prepared with love from the heart, I don't know about you but that's the only kind of food I want in stomach! Flavors on point and personal touches really let you know they want you to come back with a friend. Ask about the Sweet Potato Cake...incredible! read more

If you are looking for some delicious, finger licking good Caribbean food then look no further than Goodies. I tried the curry chicken, rice and beans with a side of plantains.

So they are scamming putting the larger orders in the small box and I paid 18 something and it's a fucking small like really I want be back for a while read more

I really wish I could leave a better review but I was extremely unimpressed. I called ahead to have my order prepared before I came and they did not have it ready. In fact they started on the order when I walked in. So what was the purpose of calling? Either way. She showed me the food and it looked great. My mouth was watering on the drive home. Then boom.... disappointment. The oxtail did not taste good at all. And who has ever had a plate of oxtail with no bones? Not one! Just meat over rice. It just wasn't spectacular or even up to par with other Jamaican restaurants. The only reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because the Mac and cheese was ok. Just ok. read more

Make sure you have at least an hour to wait on your order doesn't matter if it's a cup of ice.

Food is pretty good BUT once you factor in that they are always missing a side or a meat, the inconsistency kills their rating. If you're going in with zero expectations you might come out on top, just might. read more

My gosh ! Never thought I would take the time a write a review, but this I have to get out . But please dont waste your money eating here , not worth it! The women are rude and nasty towards women , your food Portions will never be the same if you are a woman. I had my boyfriend order the same day and his food Was spilling out of the side of the containers with food . While mine was barely filled , and then to begin eating and find a piece of plastic in my food ! Like seriously, I goes and ask for a refund and then dog face women gonna say I ate the food some she can only give me a snack ... like really give me my money ! I bought the food to eat it not for you to deliberately put a piece of plastic inside of my container then also going to tell me that I don't have to come back and eat there trust me you I will never be back and I hope that you lose all your customers and nobody ever returns back to the store please shut them down read more
