Paradise punch
Danyel P.

I come to tropical every other day. I find that I have this problem half of the time I come here. I really don't understand why they put so much ice in it. Like the girl put 3 big scoops of ice in my drink. When she pored it, half of my smoothie was still in the blender. It just goes to waste! Like I'm only getting half of my berries and half of my protein.... So it should be half the price! Not happy and won't be coming back. The blonde that made my boyfriends drink only put 2 scoops in. Witch is good! But for the dumb Burnette, you need to look at the directions better.

Chia Banana Boost with Peanut Butter
Grace K.

I found about this place through Uber Eats. I never used it on the app, but I decided to try this place with a friend. This Tropical Smoothie Cafe is at a great location with ample private parking lot. Upon entering, I noticed that it's very clean with bright tropical colors (orange, green, yellow). Refreshing. Menu has breakfast and lunch foods with smoothies. They even serve cookies with their own variety of chips. There are seasonal items as well. I only tried the smoothies. Peanut Paradise (5/5: Peanut butter, banana, non-fat yogurt & choice of Soy, Pea, OR Whey Protein): I ordered this with the whey protein. Highly recommend this... even though it's simple and easy to make. It's so good that it's my favorite. It's under the superfood smoothie. Chia Banana Boost with Peanut Butter (5/5: Roasted banana, chia seeds, almonds, whole grain oats, cinnamon, dates & coconut with choice of peanut butter OR strawberries): My 2nd favorite. I chose the peanut butter over the strawberries because I just wanted more protein. Definitely a great mix for a superfood smoothie. It wasn't too sweet from the dates and banana. Cinnamon incorporation was perfect. Triple Berry Oat (3/5: Strawberries, blueberries, cranberry, multi-vitamin, ground flax seed, whole grain oats, whey protein & Splenda): This was just okay.. think the Splenda flavor ruined it for me. If you like the taste of Splenda, then try it out. Would I come again? Most definitely. Enjoy the amazing deal 7AM-9AM on your smoothies!

Tropical Smoothie Café is the perfect restaurant for growing kids who want to stay healthy. My youngest son loves playing sports, like basketball, soccer and football. Most of all he enjoys having the extra energy and strength to play and run after drinking a protein smoothie each week. Every smoothie and every sandwich is made with lots of healthy vitamins with a warm friendly smile. Tropical Smoothie Café provides the best quality of fresh food and drinks for the entire family.

Thai chicken salad with plant based chick'n.
Alexa V.

We have been going to Tropical Smoothie for years now; it has always been a favorite of ours! I love that they offer plant based chick'n which makes some of their options vegan friendly . We usually get the Thai chicken salad with plant based chik'n, or the Thai chicken wrap with plant based chik'n. The pomegranate plunge (add guava, it's amazing), and the strawberry chia banana boost are my two favorites. I do wish they had more vegan friendly sides; we can only get the fruit (which is nice don't get me wrong) It would just be nice to be able to change it up.

Bathroom beach

This place hasn't missed a step even though it moved recently locations. I went into a newer crisper and refreshing environment and I didn't even get a smoothie because I was so impressed. Actually got there all day breakfast Panini which is only like $2.50. Awesome price great value for sure. The bathrooms are phenomenal here as well. I had an emergency and I was not upset by the sanitation peace. Just in luck if you need to go. Nature Calls! Parking around here can get a little hectic around lunch time so be prepared for that or Park illegally if you're going to be in and out in less than 3 minutes and you should be okay. You didn't hear me out read me day that! Eat well and Dine healthy

Jerk chicken bowl with coleslaw and orange ginger glow
Kelee M.

My husband had a taste for a smoothie, so we stopped in. The food was nice and light on the stomach, however, it was very filling. I ate half of my wrap and packed up the other half. This cafe gives me Caribbean vibes. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location!! Welcome to West Knoxville!

We love this place. I like it's a one size smoothie, but there is a downside on that. The food is expensive!! It is from the mini oven.

After being told this new little restaurant spot opened in mid-February, I was surprised to find no…read morereviews. Located in an established strip mall by a high-traffic intersection at Kingston Pike and S. Peter's, Greens and Grains is easy to get in and out of with plenty of parking. The interior is spotlessly clean (including the restrooms!) and comprised of two connected dining areas and kitchens. One has a trendy, airy feel with cool green and white tones, while the other is darker with metal and wood elements, a game area, and a large open grill/prep area. The reason for the two different vibes was not immediately clear to me. Actually, it never became more clear during the hour or so I spent there, but I can appreciate a good mystery. This is NOT a fast food joint. In fact, it is slow. Agonizingly slow if you're in a hurry. This is a place to come when you are with a group of people you find highly entertaining (or when you heft along a great book) and don't mind waiting. After ordering two sandwiches and sides, my friend and I waited almost 20 minutes for our food to appear at our table. The macaroni salad was pleasantly flavorful, without the overcooked noodles and runny sauce so often found with this deli counter staple. The turkey and Brie was also good and grilled to buttery-crisp perfection. The sandwich, side, and a drink cost just under $20, so it's neither bargain-priced nor exotic, but fresh ingredients are not cheap. Only one employee was working in each of the two halves of the restaurant, so I imagine if they want to speed up their service, they are going to need to schedule more people. The two employees were both delightfully friendly, though, and they aren't just paying lip service to customer service, a goal plainly outlined on all the napkin dispensers and evidenced by their actions. Despite the slow service, I'm giving them a 5 for their dedication to quality ingredients and excellent customer service. I hope they make it for the long haul, and I'll definitely be back soon.

My husband and I had lunch at Greens & Grains and were blown away by their delicious sandwiches…read more Initially, the price appeared a bit expensive; however, you get what you pay for - the portions were large, they use high-quality ingredients, and the side portion was generous. Plus, the purchase price of their chips goes to charity - it was fun picking our charity of choice. Service was excellent! The staff was enthusiastic and I must add "adorable". I'm returning next week.

To find this place, you have to go to Crafty Bastards Brewery. You can order at the bar, and then…read moreyou pick up your order at the "hole in the wall". Clever!! It's very open and spacious in the brewery. And now that I know it's dog-friendly, the pup will be coming with us next time!. They have bands occasionally, too - so make sure you check the schedule. We arrived one night, and the band was sold out - so we had to leave, but had just enough time to have a brew and a pie. So check in before heading that way to ensure you can indeed get in. It can get busy, and the line can get long - so be prepared, and you might want to get two at a time those nights. As for the food, I have to say the Greek salad was AMAZING. Super fresh, zingy dressing. Just so good. The pizza was decent - nice thin crust and fresh toppings. Will it go down as the best pizza you've had - nah, but it goes good with a cold brew. Overall solid place.

The Greek salads were great too--plenty for two per salad. They had a pickle beer that was yummy and dill flavored. The pineapple was good. And #10 Show me the honey 3.0 beer recommendation by the bartender was excellent. You can bring your well behaved dog or even goat too for a nice night out w a group. Will totally be back as it was a great laid back atmosphere.
