This place is a Caribbean culinary gem! Everything was beyond amazing. If you thought you’ve had delicious jerk chicken before, you haven’t tried amazing jerk chicken until you’ve tried TT’s! Everything here was spectacular, and the chef/owner makes everyone feel at home! Can’t wait to go back!

Glad to see this place reopen in the west burbs! Food still remains delicious. I got the jerk plate with rice and beans and plantains and it hit the spot. Got a patty for nostalgic reasons and it was nice and flaky and what I remember. Prices are up but that’s universally applicable.
I’ll be back.
Ok. I went back to try brown stew chicken with coconut rice and plantains. I’m not sure if it was the chicken or the rice that didn’t taste right but something was definitely off. The plantains were great. I’ll stick to jerk chicken.

While stopped at the stop light, I looked to my left and spoted the Jerk Chicken sign! I flipped a U-turn and headed right in!
I ordered Jerk Chicken dark meat a side of Rice n Peas, candied yams and of course had to go extra for the best plantains ever! Tried a side of the mild jerk sauce. Worth every penny for sure.
Can’t wait to try the oxtail next.
Amazingly authentic and delicious! I’ll drive from Bartlett again to grab my next meal soon. Thank you!

Went to the restaurant’s new location and I will be returning! Happy to have Tropical Time back! I can definitely say that my food was made with love. Still taste delicious and the portions still very fulfilling. Entrees only including two sides instead of three like previously. I wish rice n peas were atleast included with all entrees plus the two sides that we pick. There’s also new menu items like brown stew chicken, jerk pasta, & jerk wraps etc.

JERK CHICKEN is the sign outside
Google maps doesnt use this as an identifier for restaurant
For months i thought the place closed down or hadnt open.
Well stopped in and had the jerk chicken, curry chicken, plantains, mac n’ cheese and cabbage.
Curry was stellar followed by beans and rice then the jerk. Mac n cheese and cabbage were both good…nothing special but tasty none the less.
I gave service five stars not because you have a waiter and people filling your goblets but because the chef/owner was a delight. Very friendly and personable.
I will be going again and again as there are at least 4 more things to try.
The prices are average but worth it. I do wish for people dining in they used washable ware and steel utensils. But hey, thats me… i really hate plastic and landfill.

Went here for my birthday, and could not be happier! I can appreciate a place that serves dishes with love. Everything was delicious, seasoned well, and the chicken was juicy! Would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a high quality lunch with a delicious Jamaican twist, definitely give this place a try!

Try something new!!! Get the jerk half chicken dinner, rice & beans, steamed cabbage and dude… you will be set!!! Some of the best takeout I have had in years but the interior seemed super welcoming!! Also tried the coconut shrimp and they were amazing! I cant wait to come back and try so much more on the menu!

Yeah this place is awesome. Very friendly staff, delicious food, the whole package. Curry goat is very tasty, spicier than most of their dishes but so good. Jerk chicken has a nice flavor to it. Rice and beans are delicious.
Do try this place.

I wish I lived closer to this place because I would be there every week. I’ve been here twice and will definitely go again because I need to try the catfish – I saw someone else eating on my last visit and was kicking myself for not thinking to order it. No matter where you are – it’s worth the trip. The mac and cheese is amazing and the plantains are perfect. I’ve had the chicken sandwich and the wrap – both out of this world.

Just picked up some takeout sandwiches for dinner, both the chicken and pork. And my fiance’s and my first reaction was to just say “oh wow”. The food is fantastic, and the portions are generous for the price. I love seeing a small local business making such fantastic food.
Also the plantains are top notch.
