Who ever made this, needs to be fired immediately!!! No cheese on a chicken quesadilla, chicken was from out of the freezer, not even warmed up! Don't get food here, these kids want $25/hr but can't even put 2+2 together. Ray Charles could have made my food more gourmet!!!! Mind you this is $10!!!! Fire these kids!!!! read more

I showed up to this location by accident, having chosen the wrong Hill Road location. It was not the wrong location. The young lady who came out to explain to me my mistake was all smiles, had a wonderful attitude, encourage me even after my goofy mistake. This girl won me over and if I am buying a smoothie from home instead of work, I will drive 10 minutes further to use this location from here on out. Thank you, young lady. Thanks for shining your sunlight into a dreary, rainy day. read more

It would be nice if they took 2 seconds to tape all delivery orders & put napkins in the bag

Used to live in the area but was back visiting. Came here and the interior has changed. Used to be more cozy and comfortable. There is more seating space now but I do miss the super comfy couch. Anyway typical Pl Smoothie place with quick service. read more

Tropical smoothie has always been one of my favorite place for a quick meal. A friend and I went in to this location on E Hill Rd at 7:45pm when closing at 9. We were greeted by a nice young girl named Aramina and there was at least 7 people who were inside that had ordered before us. Once we approached the counter to order she came rushing out of the kitchen and took our orders. Come to find out, she was the only person there working. She was running the counter, making smoothies, food, and preparing online orders for 9 people (when we got there) all by herself. But she kept calm and collected and did a great job and she was even newer to working there! We had some edits to our meals and she even remembered them during it all. This girl was so amazing at running the store all alone she deserves a raise! read more

Well we went in at 8:32 and was told that the kitchen closed at 8:30so the staff could get out at 9:00 when the store actually closed. Totally false advertising !!!! if the owner is aware, that is unacceptable. if the owner is in the dark, he/she needs to know what is going on. This is the second time this has happened to me and I plan on taking my business to Smoothie King and spreading the word. read more

They keep canceling my order and wouldn't answer the phone. Why have mobile ordering turned on if you are going to cancel the orders

Ordered a Caesar wrap and a smoothie. I was splitting lunch with my wife so we asked for the smoothie to be split in two glasses. We waited only about 10 mins for the wrap, and another 10 mins for the smoothie. 20 mins total. I could have went to a sit down restaurant and gotten my order quicker. Lets start with the wrap. It had "ZERO" Caesar dressing on it. Had Iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese and tomato. Not a Caesar wrap. The smoothie.... I had asked 3 times for it to come in two glasses. When we finally got it, it was one big glass. So, I asked again for another glass. She took the smoothie, and poured it into two very small glasses. As I'm watching, she dumped what was left, (about 10 oz) into the garbage, and handed me the two small glasses. When I asked about what she threw out, she said that it wouldn't fit into the two glasses. So instead of just dumping half of it into a large glass, and giving me the original half full, and another half full. she just dumps out a 1/3 of my 6.00 smoothie. Won't be back! read more

There is a smell that is in this location. Like they mopped over vomit with a dirty mop. Has been like that for at least a month. Last time I bought a smoothie for my wife and barley made it out. Thought they would have cleaned it out by now. Went in just now to get her a smoothie and the smell was still there. Waited 10 minutes for someone to take my order. I asked twice and was told multiple times that someone would be right with me. Not friendly at all. They seemed like they couldn't care less if I was there or not. This place used to rock. That was at least a year ago. Last time I will go there. Disgusting. Horrible service. read more

It was my first time ordering, and I ordered online for pick up. I was given a completely different smoothie than what I ordered. It would have been fine if it tasted good, but it didn't and no matter what I added to it at home to try and fix it, it just didn't work. My fiancé's was good though, and he got what he wanted. read more

Every time I visit this location, my order is ALWAYS wrong! I am usually polite and forgiving, however, its hardly ever reciprocated. The girls that work there have absolutely no customer service skills. They are rude and condescending. Today I sent my daughter in to place our order. After waiting 40 minutes for 3 smoothies and watching people who came in after us be served, she simply asked why it was taking so long. The worker rolled her eyes and said, "we're obviously busy." She proceeded to talk to the other workers about my daughter, within earshot, saying, "if she doesn't want to wait, she can buy a ninja and make her own smoothie at home." she then came back to my daughter, asked what we ordered And wrote it down as if she never even put the order through to begin with. When my daughter asked how long it Was going to be now and If we could atleast get it discounted because they were showing no concern or remorse for making us wait, the cashier opened the register and handed her our money back. After almost an hour, my daughter walked out with no smoothies. What a waste of our time! read more

UPDATE: having Cust service reach to tell you to reach out is....POINTLESS! Never heard back from them.

Terrible service and rude staff. 30 minutes waiting on an online order past when it was supposed to be ready and we had no smoothies or wraps. Staff refused to cancel the order and give us a refund and repeatedly lied to my wife about when it would be ready. read more

This place is awesome, I've ordered from here several times and the catering is always on point. Each time we dealt with the manager John, he always goes above and beyond to make sure that we're taken care of. The wraps are amazing and the smoothies are out of this world. Be sure to check this location out! read more

Slow, slow, slow. That pretty much sums it up. Overall, I like the Tropical Smoothie Café concept- just not this particular spot. This one has terrible service (and has always had bad service) and they can't manage when there are more than two people in line. I've had to have my order re-made and that's not cool. Then it takes them even longer! I feel bad for the people in line behind me, just like I feel bad for myself waiting behind other people. It's ridiculous. Who waits 30 minutes for a smoothie and wrap? I did here, that's who. They're so nonchalant about it. I understand they're being paid hourly to be here, but I'm not (nor is anyone else standing in their never-ending lines). Have a little respect for people on their lunch hour, please! The inside is nice and clean, very attractive, with decent seating (which is needed because of the long wait), but the service really is terrible. The food is alright, but not in line with other Tropical Smoothie locations. I've had messily put-together salads and sandwiches here, but the smoothies are usually good, even if they needed to be remade. The best is the the kiwi-flavored smoothie. The staff aren't particularly friendly and forget about complaining about the wait time- they couldn't care less. If you like eye rolling, then by all means, hit up this location because you will encounter it in spades. Your smoothie awaits with a side order of attitude. Waiting 30 minutes for a smoothie (or a smoothie and sandwich) is ridiculous! If this is the epitome of "fast casual" dining, then count me out. read more

Have been here multiple times - I love the smoothies but the service/wait time is awful. I just went in and they said it was a 25 minute wait for food or a smoothie, but there was no one waiting in the store, everyone sitting already had their food and smoothies. There were 4 of us in line that walked out. I would place an order on the app but you can't add notes/customize your order to the extent that I want, i.e. "lite Splenda". read more

I placed an order today and no one was behind me so I thought it would be quick but waited over 45 mins!! Food should NEVER take this long to make and I tried to get a refund based on time alone and they told me that I couldn't have a refund as I had my food. Anyway I ordered a Kiwi Quencher substituting Splenda instead of sugar and there was sugar mixed in. I also ordered a Baja chicken with no avocado. I had previously ordered it and it was delicious but this time the sandwich was cold and it had avocado on it. Also half of the staff today had their masks well below their noses and a lady with a collar whom I assumed was a manager was NOT wearing gloves and she was preparing food. At one point she even used her BARE hands to scoop off some excess smoothie from someone else's smoothie and put a lid on it and sent it out. I am extremely disgusted by the unsafe practices around food especially with the whole pandemic going on. Also the customers were so close together inside because no one and I mean no one was calling names loud enough for anyone to hear. This made me very uncomfortable as social distancing rules were not enforced. I will NOT going back to this establishment and would never recommend it to anyone else. read more

I ordered a smoothie and a wrap. The smoothie took around 5 mins and the wrap was out within 10 minutes. Staff was kind and parking was abundant. Looking at the other reviews, I was either lucky or they've started to change staff around. read more

We ordered online for pick up. Ordered a chipotle flatbread and a chicken pesto- they have us two chipotle and put bacon and tomato when we requested no tomato or bacon on one of them. They forgot our salsas with both of our chicken. quesadillas. The beach bum smoothie tasted like it was made wrong. :( read more

Slow service. I watched 4 would be customers walk out because there was no one to take their order. They are not organized. read more

The smoothies are delicious, but the food is not. Good thing the smoothies are filling enough that you don't need an average(and over-priced) sandwich to go with it. If it weren't for the consistently poor service and long wait for a simple smoothie, I would return. I always get snobby people when I place my order. And whenever I try to use a text deal, they fight it and look at me like I am robbing the place. So for now I will stick to making my smoothies at home for less than 1/3 of the price and time. It's too bad, because before they moved to the current location, they were great with customers and made the stop here worth it. read more

I specifically asked for a wrap no chicken and I got it to go, clearly they put a ton of chicken in it after I specifically told them no chicken. After this experience I can't count on getting any vegetarian food here. read more

The wait is RIDICULOUS!! 35 min for 2 smoothies...no less than 15 people waiting at any given time with 2 people working, no supervisor/mgmt person working read more

I wish I could leave a negative star. Literally have been waiting 25 for a smoothie. On top of that you can hear the way it's blending and sounds like there's too much ice and not blending properly. I've been to other tropical smoothies and never had a problem but this one... they should just close it down. read more

Waited more than 7 minutes for someone to greet me. I was the only one here and somehow they got my order confused with someone.... who I don't know. I will give the last person who handed me my sandwich a high five for saying thank you...wow as a general manager of a place similar my staff couldn't treat people as unimportant as this location treated me... read more

i can never get a answer on the phone to place an order, i call 1 hour before my lunch break and no one ever answer and the website wont allow me to place an order this happens every time i try read more

Check your smoothie order before it is made. Unfortunately, the teen or young girls working there failed to add a banana and when I brought it to their attention, they told me the banana was in the raspberry mix. Reluctantly the smoothie was made over and a real banana, plus a gritty food substance was also added which made the smoothie undesirable to drink. My first clue should have been the three girls huddled over the remake of my drink before it went to the blender. Maybe the manager will read this and hire more mature help. read more

First time I visited they gave me two lives of bread and called it a sandwich. Second time I was greeted with attitude. Don't waste your money. read more

Rude young girls that work there. Came yesterday to pick up my order, was no greeted at all. In fact I was ignored for about 2 minutes while the girl stood there mopping the floor. When I was noticed she snatched off her gloves and proceeded with my pick up order. Just about SNATCHED my card from me & walked away. My sandwich had tomatoes on if after I clearly specified no tomato. Had to turn around for my chipotle sauce because that wasn't in the bag either . Nor was my side that I wasn't even asked about. Had I not reminded her , I wouldn't of gotten any sauce , no side , AND tomatoes on my sandwich. A girl who wasn't even on duty was in the kitchen with sandals on! I mean unprofessional to say the least. I definitely won't be back. NOT TO MENTION, was no provided ANY napkins. Didn't know spending my money would became the inconvenience? This is YOUR job that you applied for! The least you can do is do it , and do it right read more

Had a wonderful lunch today, my turkey bacon ranch sandwich was awesome and my pomegranate plunge smoothie was so delicious. The service was fast, and Cameron was very helpful with Explaining the menu to me. I will definitely be back and will let my coworkers know that this is a great place for a quick delicious lunch. read more

This place is a hot mess. Last 4 times I've gone they messed up my order. The girls are always on their phone. I even had to take back my smoothie one day because it wasn't blended all the way. read more

Every time I order here I get the wrong sandwich. It's pretty sad when you are craving a Chicken Pesto wrap and you get a Chipotle one every time. read more

Today, March 3rd 2018 I called the Grand Blanc Michigan location.. Someone answered and asked for my order i begin to give my order and the phone goes dead.. I call back 2 more times and she answers again i start to give my order she hangs up.. I call back and a fax maxhine answers. At the 5th call a girl answers i ask for a manager she rudely says " yep" (laughing in the background) and a girl, whom i assume is a manager began to speak and then hungs up again!! I called back again and no answer.. I stop at the location concerned that something could be wrong.. When i arrive there were only two customers in the store. I was greeted by a very rude and unprofessional Manager. I told her i had called several times and she cuts me off and saying "first of all u did not call several times", which was not true.. She was argumentative and sooo rude! I have never been treated so poorly and i am a VIP member, so i visit this company regularly. Last Time!!!! read more

Called in a to go order thinking it would be faster and here I sit in the parking lot waiting! I'd drive off but they took my credit card number so I would be charged for it. Never again!!!! I even called to tell them I'm here and I'm still waiting! Ridiculous!!!!! read more
