Welcome to Tropical Jerk

Authentic Jamaican food

Tropical Jerk was created in 2004 by Norman Frater. Eventually, he and his wife developed a family business that now has six locations across Long Island and Queens. Our mission is to deliver the best jerk chicken around town. We blend authentic spices, fresh onions, scallions, and pepper to create our homemade jerk seasoning from scratch.
