    First timer here at the Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Being a man of great masculinity, I assumed this would be something I would hate as I assumed this would be a restaurant oriented towards women (cmon... any self respecting man doesn't love this name). My smoking hot blonde "friend" talked me into it and I was surprised at how wrong I was when our food came out. Phenomenal service, healthy, tasty food and a good price point. What more could you be looking for in a good restaurant?

    I always get a bahama mama & a sunrise sunset, my man loves this place & my son sure does too! We tried the chicken quesadilla for the first time recently & it was touch my the hands of an angel, the salsa was to perfection! Thinking about makes me hungry. Great place for smoothies! Move over smoothie king!!

    I went here at 7pm for a smoothie to hit my smoothie craving. I was very satisfied with the quick and happy service for my Bahama Mama Smoothie. There is only one size for the smoothies and is fairly priced for the size!!

    Another place to hang out with a good smoothie, simple sandwich/wrap wiith free wi-fi. It's busy during lunch hour and usually a short wait; but nothing too drastic. I haven't been too adventurous with their smoothies only because I truly enjoy the 'Orange Dream' a ton! We went there at 8:30pm last night just to get it as a dessert :) Service is smooth and prompt and the place is clean. Never been upstairs where there is extra seating and what seems to be a giant tv... Sandwiches are good enough for a quick lunch. I like the buffalo chicken and thai chicken wraps 'coz they have a little more flavor then a boring sandwich. I have only tried their Italian sandwich and it was ok. I mean, how exciting can a bloody ordinary sandwich with some dressing be, right?! :)

When I walked in to pick it up, I was greeted warmly by the staff, which made a great first impression. The sandwich was packed with roast beef, turkey, bacon, and Swiss, and everything tasted super fresh. I got it Mike's Way, and the combo of oil, vinegar, and seasonings really brought it all together. The bread was soft but held up perfectly, and the veggies were crisp and refreshing. The bacon added the perfect crunch and smokiness--I honestly wasn't expecting it to be that good. It was super filling without being too heavy, and every bite was delicious. Definitely a 10/10 first experience, and I'll for sure be coming back soon.

But at Jersey Mike the fresh cutting of the cold cuts does make a huge difference to the product and requires a step above service from the other large sub chain. My Italian was loaded with tons of thinly sliced cold cuts - sandwiched between soft bread and crips veggies. The addition of the oil, vinegar and seasoning enhanced the overall sandwich. The regular size was fulfilling because of the amount of stuff between the buns, and after the last bite I was so full and totally satisfied. My daughter was laughing so hard because I was so excited when they made my sub but it was such a joyful experience.

They make the sweet bread in-house and it's always fresh and delicious. They use fresh-sliced meats and have freshly chopped veggies. They're definitely one of the best sandwich shops in town and it's where locals like to eat. The couple who run the place are super friendly and always remember my order and chat me up when I go by. The restaurant is always clean and the food remains affordable for what you get.

You'd walk in and say something like "Turkey sub, no mayo," and without missing a beat they'd hit you with, "Turkey sub come with mayo." No discussion. No customer-service script. Just blunt honesty. Honestly, that was part of the charm back then. What's funny is seeing how much they've softened over the years. The owners seem older now, calmer maybe, and genuinely kinder and more accommodating than I remember. Still quick, still efficient, but way more patient with customers than the old days. Feels like a neighborhood spot that grew up a little without losing its identity. The food is still what brings people back though. The bread has that same soft, slightly sweet flavor that nobody else in Memphis really does right. I got the Super Sub this time and it was exactly what I wanted -- fresh toppings, good balance, and one of those sandwiches that disappears faster than you expect. The chicken sub is still probably my favorite overall. Place was clean, service moved fast, and yeah... still cash only, which somehow feels completely on-brand at this point. Some things probably shouldn't change. Not every single person will "get" this place, and that's fine. But for a lot of Memphis people, this spot is tied to memories as much as sandwiches. Glad to see they're still going strong.

I could tell that he had established relationships with some of his customers and that is always nice to see. It is great when a business can truly be connected to their community. It was raining one day and he was courteous enough to help me take my food to my car and even opened my door for me. He is such a kind person. He has gained a customer for sure in me. I also want to say that their side salad is really good. I used to try the pasta as the side but it would always be so dry and flavorless. Now that I have had their salad, with such great improvement, I'm curious if the pasta has received a makeover as well. I also order a salad that had the Greek salad. It has feta cheese in it, olives, onion, tomato with a side of Balsamic vinaigrette and an Herbal vinaigrette dressing. I fully enjoyed the salad and that is saying a lot, because I don't typically do salads at restaurants just because I feel like I make better at home.

The young ladies were very busy but still checked on us as much as possible. We received water promptly and my friend ordered a sampler plate of hummus, Baba Ganoush and spinach dip. The trio was served with pita and chips. The pita was okay. It was a little tough. I ordered the Santorini Gyro. It had Gyro meat, lettuce, tomatoes, purple onions, cucumbers, feta cheese and Café Med herbal vinaigrette dressing. It was huge and was delicious. It needed a little bit more vinaigrette for me. I took a lot of it home to enjoy. Our sampler trio was quite tasty. The restaurant is decorated with Mediterranean decor. It is quite quaint and very cozy. A tad warm inside but still comfortable. We were waiting for the server to bring our checks as we did not know we were to pay at the register in the rear. The place was very busy as many patrons stopped for lunch or take-out orders. I will return for sure.

One bite in and I forgot my name, my responsibilities, and honestly what life was like before this moment. Crispy, juicy, perfectly stacked perfection... I'm pretty sure I ascended for a second there. The flavors? Illegal levels of good. The kind of good that makes you pause mid-bite, stare into the distance, and rethink every taco you've ever had before this. And yes... I'm not ashamed to say it--I had a full-blown foodgasm. No regrets. Would do it again. Immediately. 10/10. If you haven't been to Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana yet, what are you even doing with your life?

He's very nice, but the food is only average and certainly not unique unless you've never had authentic Mexican food. We are from out of town and I'm guessing that maybe this place might be the only restaurant serving such cuisine in the area. I did, however, see a taco truck downtown that looked pretty damn authentic. The prices here are ridiculous. I have been to restaurants all over the country serving the exact same food and rarely pay more than $3 per taco or $12 for a torta. By the way, what they call a "Tortuga" it's not a signature creation. It's just a torta, a staple of authentic Mexican food. My friend and I both got taco plates, which were each around $25. That's outrageous. That would even be outrageous for a place that has table service which this place does not. I would not come back here. If I am in Memphis again and craving Mexican food, I'm definitely going to try the trucks. PS Guy Fieri signing off on a restaurant is something that I consider more of a red flag than a sign of excellence.
