    Missing Oxtail

    I stopped by **Tropical Jerk** on my lunch break hoping to grab a simple jerk chicken meal with a **side of oxtail**. I was clear about what I wanted, yet they somehow rang me up for **two full meals** without confirming anything. I didn't need two meals--I was just trying to get lunch for myself. I get back to work, open the bags... and guess what? **No oxtail.** The one thing I actually wanted was missing. On top of that, the staff was **rude and dismissive** the entire time, and didn't bother to clarify or communicate anything before charging me extra. I'm beyond disappointed. This place clearly doesn't value customers or basic accuracy. I will **never** step foot in this place again. If I could give them **zero stars**, I absolutely would.

    I've reviewed this restaurant before, it seems to have disappeared. I come here for the jerk chicken and sweet sauce, the service is good, it's really a takeout. I see a space in the back but I've never seen anyone dining in. There is no ambiance, it's in n out

    Oxtails

    I placed and online order and it was cancelled before I got there. No call, no explanation until I got there and they told me they ran out of something. I ordered both dishes with ride and beans and one came with white rice after I confirmed it twice. No plantains which was a disappointment. I got my order with half my order missing and when I asked the girl where the rest of my food was she gave me and attitude no apology like I was bothering her. The oxtail and curry chicken were good but the customer service was terrible.

    Jerk Chicken

    The small is enough of a portion for one meal. Chicken is flavorful, juicy and delicious! Wish there was more sauce on the jerk pork. We also ordered a fried chicken and it was amazing as well. Service was amazing and everything I asked for I received, and the convenience of it being right in Baldwin is perfect.

    Food is excellent as always. Had the jerk chicken, jerk pork, and oh yeah. The fried chicken is serious. Go try it. Make sure to ask for some sweet sauce.

    Ask the Community - Tropical Jerk

    Is there coco bread here and beff patties?

    Yes there is. I don't know how fresh the coco bread is. It is not baked there. It is brought in from somewhere else. I have never tried it. Beef patties but not many choices like Jamaican Flavors (further south on Grand Avenue)

Food is solid Jamaican fare. Oxtails are meaty and tender. With traditional rice and Peas, which could've used a likkle more love, as the rice was overcooked and not many peas. With gravy, almost mush but seasoned good tho. Appreciated the Steamed carrots. Needed more. Also, only came with 1 small broccoli stem. Plate was majority rice. Jerk Chicken is heavily browned, seasoned well but baked not grilled. If it is grilled, its a gas grill & no Pimento leaves, while also being buried in tons of sauce. Carrot cake was delicious. Light and not overly sweet. Golden raisins give a nice touch! Frosting is decadent but not cloying. Honestly, would give a 3.8 vs solid 4 but Service was exceptional and efficient. Overall, would definitely revisit. More for an intimate dining experience vs. large group.

There's bar seating, high tables and reg seating. Will say chairs are a bit small maybe so you don't overstay lol. Our food took a while which means they were cooking it. Oxtails soft and nice. Salmon nicely seasoned. A drizzle of Pepper sauce kicked it up a notch. Nice spot for date night; girls day, families
