    Fast casual restaurant that's around the corner from the local gym - works well for a post-workout healthy meal. They are willing to sub out rice for cauliflower rice so the menu can be adapted for those who prefer low carb or keto options although the food erred on the salty side and my shrimp bowl had a surprising amount of oil. Recommend the jalapeño sauce for those who like a little heat.

    This was one of the best TG experiences I've ever had. The service was amazing and the staff was great. Our portions were generous and I loved the vibe inside. Manager was so friendly and welcoming and it was much appreciated.

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

    I'm not sure what happened to this place, but we ordered the family meal and the chicken was different. It used to be grilled chicken, but this was like a marinated chicken almost like you'd get from a Chinese restaurant. It's really salty and just not good. Also the portion sizes have significantly decreased. This used to actually feed my family of 4, but no longer does. They also forgot sauce. Won't be back!

    Food taste amazing, however overtime portion sizes have dwindled extremely while keeping same prices. Sad to see it happen.

    Southwest bowl

    Today is Monday, May 8, 2023, we had a run errands this morning, and we were looking for a healthy alternative for lunch, I had never eaten at tropical Grill, because I thought it was a smoothie place, but my wife educated me that it was a healthy alternative to good eating. I got the classic bowl with chicken, yellow rice, corn, tomatoes, and it was delicious. My wife got the southwest bowl and hers was equally as good. We will make this a regular stop when we are out and about instead of eating burgers or something else that doesn't appeal to us to be a healthy option. The staff there was helpful funny and patient as we asked questions about their selection even though it was very busy thank you for that we felt like we were important. We will be back.

    I've been here several times since this location opened and never had a bad visit. Staff is always friendly and greet you when you walk in. Food is always delicious. My personal favorite is the Classic Chop and add a little cheese. And you gotta get the Jalapeño sauce.

    the label on the bottle

    This location consistently has given me incorrect items in my order. It's always cold. Today took the cake when I ordered a 1/2 gallon sweet tea. I got home to discover I received an EXPIRED 1/2 GALLON OF UNSWEETENED TEA. Today is a Saturday evening, February 11 to be exact and this tea expired Wednesday, February 8.

    Cookie cutter of all the other Tropical Grilles in Greenville County. So all in all not a bad choice for lunch or dinner on the go.

Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable--she offered helpful suggestions from the varied menu. We'd heard good things about the burgers and decided to try them, ordering ours cooked medium. The server mentioned that unless specified, burgers are typically served medium well. The wait for our food was a bit long, and it seemed other tables were experiencing the same. Bohemian seems like a better spot to visit when you're not in a rush. When the burgers arrived, both were cooked well done instead of medium. Unfortunately, our server didn't check back until we were nearly finished eating. I showed her the overcooked burger, and she offered to have another one made, but by then we'd already eaten. The flavor was good, but it definitely would've been better at the requested temperature. Lesson learned--check your burger doneness before your server leaves the table, especially when they're priced around $16-$18 and more. On the bright side, the fries were excellent! Overall, despite the hiccup, I'll be back. Bohemian is worth giving another try.

My girlfriends and I went for girls night, and I loved how the place was packed with women. Such a cool idea. We got the rosemary beignets, and they were really good. Loved the butter that came with it too, and the parm. Very tasty. I had the half chicken, and it was maybe the best chicken I have ever had. Seriously, I know what I am ordering next time, and the time after, because it was so good. I didn't enjoy the sides as much. I had the pomme puree and the roasted vegetables. It's strange that the mashed potatoes were flavorless and mealy, and the veggies were meh. That said, the chicken was awesome, and I will come back for that alone.

First we sat outside and it was really nice and you could hear the music across the street. Our server who was also training someone was fantastic. On the receipt it said "Hakan S" but I could be wrong. He was so attentive and called us "loves" and just was so kind I'd go just for his service honestly, he never stopped smiling , even after multiple requests he just was top tier. As far as the starter, it was between beignets and the bread but the spicy honey got me. I wouldn't order that bread again it was basic and I wished the butter would have been more honey but it was eaten. Next time I'll try the beignets. As far as food, I ordered the salmon and exchanged the rice for a "house salad". The salmon was okay I didn't like how overcooked the bottom was and it was a little try and flavorless for me, I assume the rice helps but even when they accidentally brought out the rice bed first with the salmon it still looked the same. Maybe a drizzle of something would be nice. So I used some sauce from my partners plate which was the special "grouper " . Back to my dish first. The salad was my favorite part, very fresh and just had good flavors. As far as the grouper, it was extra cooked , not much flavor itself, the white asparagus was basic but the sauce it was laid in was really nice. Again I used it for my salmon. She wasn't a fan but she loved the bread. I would go back but it's not a must have for me.

    First time here was Friday 2/20/26…read more Let me first say there was a prom going on in the area and parking was a nightmare. I was just about to give up and go somewhere else when a spot opened. We were a group of 10 and were the 6th and 7th to arrive. Came in and sat down and it was a good 15 minutes before our server appeared for drink orders. They had a really good stout on draft so I ordered that and the alligator bites. It was another 15/20 minute before our server came back to inform me the keg blew and that beer wasn't available. So water it was. The alligator bites were not horrible, but weren't great either. Very bland and the breading was.....not crunchy. It was almost like they were microwaved and not cooked long enough. I went with the double bacon burger and fries, which was a $0.99 upsell from the house chips that comes with the burger. Two big thick patties with cheese and bacon. Pretty good burger. Not the best I've ever had but not the worst either. As for the ambience, good luck having a conversation. The place is open and loud. The actual restaurant is fairly small but it's part of a larger area. Think of a food court in a mall. Very hard to have a conversation due to all the noise. And people wondering in and sitting down without checking in, taking wait staff away from their other tables. Overall, I wasn't impressed. But, like I said, the area prom had a lot more people out than a normal Friday night, so I will return again for another meal.

    Paid a first visit last week. "Meh" is the lasting thought…read more The hostess obviously preferred to be elsewhere. We sat at the table for15 minutes without attention. A sever only came after we had gotten out of our seats to leave. The sandwiches are on the high side and the taste is underwhelming. This place needs a spark of leadership. The location has several positive attributes. But they have to get things together. I'll return in time. I trust the experience will be better.

Right by Fluor Field with a fun, lively vibe. We sat outside, which was clean, comfortable, and a great spot to hang out before an event. Service was fantastic. David, our server, was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, and really helped elevate the experience. For food, we started with the wings (dry rub and Jamaican jerk). The flavors were decent, but the wings themselves were rubbery and a bit underwhelming, especially considering the price point. One standout though... the ranch dressing. Easily some of the best I've had. The breakfast tacos were good overall, and the chimichurri was fresh and flavorful. I think adding a creamy component would have taken them up another level. The sweet potato fries were fantastic. The chicken and biscuit was decent. The Nashville-style chicken had good flavor, but the tenders were on the smaller side, making the portion feel a bit lacking. The biscuit itself was solid. The tallow fries were also well done, and the Lefty's sauce was a nice addition. One unique touch at the end. You're given the option to send a postcard, and they handle the postage and mailing for you. A really fun and memorable detail. Overall, a good spot with great service and atmosphere, though some of the food execution and portion sizes could be improved.
