Had an okay time the last visit to this lakeside bar and grill. It's got to be the most popular…read moreplace to go in Winthrop Harbor because it's busy, as far as when it's summer when everyone comes out here. The Tropics has the typical beach goer type of theme. Even though it's not next to a beach, it is located next to a lake. You can even pull your boat up and get something. Basically there's a lot of lakeside bars like it. It's best known for the drinks and live music. This of course gets pretty crowded in summer. Always some event going on. This is popular for banquets and whatever. Last time we got drinks and food. They were pretty busy so we didn't order a lot. Got the Blue Lagoon cocktail. It's about $8 and made with Blue Curacao, lemonade, and Tito's. As far as the food goes, it's mostly greasy fried stuff so we tried our best. We got the Chips And Salsa. It's about $5 for a pretty good amount. The rest of the menu is fishy and meaty. Great views of the lake. It's got a lot going on. There's live music and whatever.

The Brewers tied in Cincinnati. The US men's national team handling Bosnia. Basically every screen in the place was must-watch TV and the bartender -- understandably distracted, perhaps -- decided that was the ideal moment to restock straws and cut fruit. We waited. In the heat. Our server was genuinely good when he materialized, which wasn't as often as we'd have liked. Food: the cheese curds earned their reputation. The Mekts burger was fine -- solid, no complaints. The Reuben rolls, however, arrived looking exactly like what they were: a Sysco product plated with minimal ceremony. Hard pass next time. As for the name -- if you're picturing a dock, pilings, maybe a gull or two -- walk outside and squint hard past the road and the rooftops. Big lake's out there somewhere. Technically. Maybe a 3.2 night in a 4.3 restaurant. I'd go back on a slow Tuesday in October.

A very nice & charming place to dine in. The staff is very nice as well. But for what we had for…read morethe high prices is not worth it at all. I dislike this Smash Burger hype. When people are going to a pub I would expect a big juicy cheeseburger. Not too mini burgers on a small bun with over melted cheese. Also I think the burger was $19. We were charged a extra $3 for french fries which were hot but not that good. When a place charges so much we expect more for what they are spending. To me this was almost like a high end fast food place. The inside is very nice. But not worth paying such high prices & then to have to leave a tip on top of that. There are so many other wonderful places to eat at nearby & also around Gurnee mills. I rather eat at a place where the portions & quality of food comes before the fancy charm of the restaurant. The bathroom was very fancy too which is fine. I would have enjoyed the food if it was good & more homemade.

We walked in, the place was relatively empty. There were two people at the bar. We proceeded to order the pretzels with beer cheese sauce which was delicious. The I ordered the California Chicken sandwich with chips and my hubby got the gyro with chips. My son joined later and had some pretzels with cheese sauce and a Dr. Pepper. My husband and son were both satisfied with their meals. I WAS NOT! The Crispy Chicken was not very crispy and it was so over cooked that I could barely bite into it. My husband asked me not to say anything. But I saw the server look right at my plate and walk away. In addition, she asked me how I liked the sandwich to which I replied and explained. "It is still sitting on the table. I walked in here hungry and now I'm leaving hungry." Sad ... new owners! We will not return.
