Island Tropics Restaurant

Order oxtails they were stiff and hard compared to being tender like I have had in the past. Large plate over 20$ the owner is nice nasty I told her my oxtails were hard and I have came to this place for years. She asked if I wanted scraps or soup of oxtail in front of other customers like I was suppose to be embarrassed . No ma’am I don’t want hard oxtails that taste like grizzles. She gave me 3 bones on a large plate. No customer service. Won’t me returning ever again. Oh did I mention she stated they lose money when the meat is tender falling off. Customers scream and fuss they they see bones no meat. Which is being extra. But I know oxtails they can be tender and still barley hanging on the bone I make them this way all the time. Like the other reviewer said she acting like ppl dogs and want slope. Never again maybe for a smoothie but I’m over the energy of being nice nasty

So happy we decided to not just pass this place again. The hubs and I love Jamaican food and this was pretty good. We started basic on the first visit to get an idea of the food. We both got the med Jerk chicken plate w/ 2 sides. I got the cabbage and rice and peas. I also got a side of the oxtail gravy to pour over my rice. The chicken was grilled perfectly with a nice char and the jerk sauce was delicious. The rice and peas with the oxtail gravy is my new favorite side. The cabbage was good, but nothing spectacular on that. The hubs got the Mac and cheese instead of cabbage and that was the star side for us. There was a good noodle to cheese ratio and it paired well with the jerk seasoning. Looking forward to getting the oxtails next time if the gravy was any indication of what’s to come! Also, their prices are more than reasonable, a little over $20, for our two full meals and side of oxtail gravy, and the team members were all friendly and helpful.

Certainly a must go-to place. Friendly ambience, excellent service and tasty menu items. Every single thing was fresh, flavorsome, and really yummy. The service was also exceptional and everybody was charming. This was my first time here and I will most definitely be returning. I'm really satisfied with Island Tropics. Its the atmosphere that wins me over here. Everything we bought was terrific and the menu itself was to die for. And workers were really pleasant and courteous. Island Tropics = Top quality.
