    1. Steak and Chicken Combination
    Jeff F.

    This is our go to fast food Hibachi in the area. We drive from Simpsonville (approx 15 min) to come here for some delicious food. I love the steak and chicken hibachi combination and substitute extra carrots for mushrooms. They also have delicious pork dumplings to pair with the meal.

    Supposed "fried rice". Literally white rice drizzled in soy sauce alone. Didn't even bother to cover all the rice.

    The sushi I have had here was also good (especially for a drive thru)-fresh to order and inexpensive.

    I came here specifically to try the chicken sandwich in order to get some further depth to my…read morecomparative context on the plethora of the crowded chicken sandwich space. Here is what I have noticed, no matter the restaurant, the fresher the sandwich, the better. Also, to keep it simple, I get whatever each restaurant presents as their standard - for example, CFA standard is not their deluxe, it is just bun, chicken, pickles. At WB, it is potato bun, chicken, lettuce, tomato, and, Whatasauce. I'll say cleanlinesss and service are both very good here. I didn't think they could ever have gotten all the old KFC grease off of that floor during renovations, but they did. It's very neat lines, simple color scheme, and crisp clean. The sandwich. You are going to immediately have a mental image in your head when I say the contrast between the glossed up picture of the food compared to the reality of the food in appearance. Flat, almost squished a bit. One leaf of limper lettuce, thin sliced tomato, and Whatasauce. Whatasauce was the first thing that hit my flavor profile. It tasted like ketchup on a hot dog. Which is a no-no anyway. But it was a ketchup forward flavor with savory notes and too sweet. Right behind that I got the thin fried chicken filet, which was more breading than chicken around the edges of the filet. Plus, it was slightly overdone and slightly tough. The good news is that I had a rewards coupon, unbeknownst to me until time of order, and it was free with the purchase of a medium drink and fries, somewhere between $5-$6. The fries are thinner style pencil fries. Medium is more than enough. Crispy and they were good. I love the Whataburger giant cup and they make very good iced tea - good enough to be a deciding factor for where to go for lunch. But this sandwich left so much on the table in execution. I imagine from their test kitchen version to the version served - overdone, over breaded, over sauced, and flat, there would be disappointment from the test kitchen guys. WB matches CFA in cleanliness and service. CFA sandwiches have always been very "chicken forward", thicker chicken portion, retains juiciness, simple (pickles only, add your own sauce) and frankly, easier to eat while traveling/driving. Sure, you should pay attention to the road, but just observe alll the drive through business at any chicken sandwich venue and you KNOW they're out there eating and driving. There is a good marketing gimmick- easiest fast food to eat and drive. Hint, it doesn't come with lots of Whatasauce, whatever it may be.

    It's actually pretty clean here. I went late and there was a good bit of staff. They have a lot of…read morecustomizations on their app and it actually works pretty well. The food is fine for what it is. You definitely feel better than spending a lot more at Five Guys or a bit less at another joint. But I'd still rather just make my own burger. They'll bring your order to your table here.

Going through the drive-thru, I was asked to practically yell my order from my car because the employee couldn't hear me. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the interaction felt rude and unnecessarily frustrating. Had the customer service been better, I probably would have given more grace regarding the food. Unfortunately, the food itself was also underwhelming and didn't seem as fresh or well-prepared as I expected. The most frustrating part is that I drove a considerable distance to visit this location. If I hadn't already made the trip, I likely would have left without ordering. Between the poor customer service and disappointing food quality, I left feeling like I wasted both my time and money. I've had better experiences at other Tropical Grille locations, particularly the Haywood Road location. Based on this visit, I can't recommend this location and hope management takes steps to improve both customer service and food quality.

    Tropical Grille - Mauldin - The 'grilled' chicken which is obviously marinated now and insanely salty. Why change what was such a good thing?

We were looking for a place just off 85 so we decided to give tropical burger a try. The Pepitos were huge and there was about 6 different types. 2 of my coworkers and I decided to try the pepitos and Endra decided to get the big momma burger. All of our meals had plenty of food. My oblesico pepitos was full of steak, chicken bacon and cheese. It seemed to be missing some flavor and sauce. It was just meat and cheese. For a side I got loaded fries with cheese sauce and bacon bits. The cheese tasted like it came out of a can and the bacon was more like bacon bits than real bacon. I ate the contents of the pepitos with a fork and skipped the bread. They had an interesting menu. I wish I would have reviewed the Yelp reviews before deciding on the pepitos. Thanks!
