    I stopped in for a smoothie on a Monday, around 2PM and they were rather busy. I was able to place an order with little wait. The place smelled like burnt bread or something, I tend to notice most of these joints smell like this, I wish they'd use better ventilation. Took about 5 minutes for my smoothie to come up. The girl serving it yelled a name, not mine and sat it on the counter and went back to doing something else. I assumed it was mine, the name she yelled was close to mine. I went up and asked if it was mine, with the add-in I requested, she said yeah and that was it. I then saw the label on the side and it had my name. The drink itself was OK... Rather non-sweet, mostly tasted like it had lots of ice and hardly any strawberry flavor, it definitely didn't taste like the flavors in the Strawberry Daquiri tho... Not at all. It's healthier than the Shake Factory next door... At least it's got one thing going for it.

    Tried Tropical Smoothie Cafe last week for the first time and was not very impressed. I'm a smoothie king girl through and through and expected them to have similar offerings here but I was mistaken. For something with smoothie in the name, there didn't seem to be many choices. Only one size for smoothies. I had the pomegranate plunge and it was bitter and a little too runny. If there's a smoothie king nearby, I would 100% choose that over this, heck, I think I'd rather have a McDonalds smoothie. I didn't have food so can't comment on that.

    A nice quick stop for a breakfast. My breakfast wrap was full of ingredients, just a tad messy due to an overwhelming amount of chipotle sauce, however, it was still good. I wasn't too impressed with my smoothie, I lacked the fruitiness I was expecting. The restaurant was clean, the service was quick, and the food was reasonably priced. So overall, not bad.

    Blueberry Bliss Smoothie

    I love having a healthy option near my office. The Baja chicken wrap is my favorite, as well as the Green Island Detox smoothie. I love that smoothie so much, I've recreated it at home (but never as good as the original). Tropical Smoothie Cafe offers tons of options and ways to customize every drink. Today, I got the Blueberry Bliss and added spinach and kale. Delish!

    Smoothies

    I really enjoyed the smoothie that I got from Tropical Smoothie Cafe, it's close to your typical smoothie shop like Smoothie King or Jamba Juice. Their menu has a lot of options from typical smoothies to protein smoothies, and they offer food options too which is where they are different, their prices are actually better for the price and the amount of smoothie you get is a lot more than what you would get at some of their competitors. I also like the vibrant and clean store interior, the cashier was very polite and upbeat she explained to me about their mobile app, and the rewards system also how you can pre-order and have your order waiting there for you if your pressed for time which is a nice option that their competitors don't offer. All in all I will definitely be stopping back in I enjoyed the smoothie.

    Quesadilla
    Dan B.

    I stopped here for a quick lunch. I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was ok, not amazing, but adequate. If I had to be critical it was very small. It tasted ok, but I could of eaten three of them. That being said, a quesadilla and a Diet Coke was only $8 and change. I would of paid $13 for a quarter pounder meal at McDonalds. The place was very clean and the staff very nice. This little plaza is getting a Jersey Mike's and a Milkshake factory. I really like Mike's so that's a good thing. I guess all in all it's worth stopping to try this place out. It seems very health conscious, if you're into being healthy this is probably a good option. Hopefully they will do well. We need a few more options for food by the old airport.

    Mocha Madness.
    Miles N.

    I recommend the Island Chicken Quesadilla, nothing short of life changing. Seriously 100% delicious. And not to overlook the smoothies, Micha Madness, it is the best of coffee and mocha. I buy two, just so I have one for later.

    Chia banana boost so good!
    Denise S.

    FINALLY a healthy alternative in this area! I can't say enough good about the food, atmosphere and location. Will make my Saturday trips to the commissary that much better.

    It may surprise some to know how many times I've hung out in Pittsburgh in the last 16 years or so,…read morebecause I've never been to a Primanti Bros. before. But then again, I am vegetarian, so I didn't think they offered anything for me. I've looked at the menu online more than once, and didn't see any sandwiches designated vegetarian each time. But I was meeting a friend before a concert on the RMU campus, and this was conveniently located 1 mile away, and it had food and beer. I kept an open mind and figured, I'll just modify one of their sandwiches. When I arrived, I learned they also have a pizza option. But I still thought... when in Rome... There was a black bean option listed on their wall menu, but the waitress double-checked for me and we learned together that they use to offer that option, but no longer do. Damn. There was however a cheese (no meat) option on the menu, which I was surprised wasn't on the online menu. But I'll take it! Their sandwiches are interesting in that instead of sides of french fries and cole slaw, the sides are just stacked into the sandwich to make it a quick easy convenient meal! The draft beer selection was good, the sandwich was decent enough, and the service was great (weekday evening). In the end, I am not sure I'd run back for my one sandwich menu option, maybe I'd try their pizza, or go for some sides, or just stop in for a beer on my way to my next show. I enjoyed the vibe and most everthing about the place, but the sandwich was just okay.

I said that wasn't necessary, but he brought one anyway. Wow. Portions are very large (without the extra salad, my manicotti would still be three meals for me) & the food is delicious.

I finally just called right before they opened and the one that answer the phone, quite frankly, was incredibly rude. I explained that I was not from the area and where I was sitting and she barked "we don't really have a sign! Just park and walk around you'll find it."... when I try to explain to her that I'm in a walking cast could she just let me know which business she was closest to? She snapped back." we're only doing takeout today anyway." At that point, I figured if she was gonna be about as friendly as a rattlesnake then I was not going to give them my business. I have no clue what their food taste like, but their service is beyond awful.

For lunch my husband ordered a 10-inch grilled chicken Philly sandwich. After he paid and had his receipt, an employee asked him if he had ordered a different sub, and he corrected her, and then she dishonestly told another employee that he had "changed" his mind. After many minutes, an employee handed him the correct sandwich. Including tax and tip, it cost about $16. The restaurant contained many tables and chairs, but we got the sandwich as takeout.

I'll…read morepreface by saying it's my first PB experience, so before you come at me with, "nothing's like the original location," chill bro. Although it was crowded, I was able to sit at the bar immediately. I asked for a hazy IPA & the bartender (Emily V.) for a recommendation on a sandwich. Even though she was slammed at the bar, she was quick with a decent beer & told me that "everything in yellow on their menu is what we're known for, but I personally enjoy the Capricola, Pastrami, and one more (that I can't remember)." So, I went with the pastrami & within 10 minutes... Boy, let me tell you... The pastrami was FIRE. French fries in a sandwich is something I've done as a kid for years. But this? This is different. It was intentional, complimentary, genius. Food was excellent, very much worth an $11 sandwich. Over the past six days that I've been in PA, this was my best meal. Beyond that, the atmosphere was great as well. Tasteful music, not too loud & good tunes. Spacious enough to safely tuck away my carry-on at the bar.

Today, however, in the midst of tough economic times, I had a different experience. I was a willing buyer of an upsell to a dirty soda. This is a Coke with syrup in it. It costs twice as much normal soda because of the flavoring. You get one for that. I asked for a regular coke refill and was refused. Mind you, you can buy a soda for 1/2 the price and get unlimited refills. Common sense says a coke refill without syrup should be no problem. The server was brand new and didn't know. Enter Kevin, who joyfully said that the policy said no refills on the 2x priced soda (without the cream syrups). Even though everyone here has unlimited soda, including staff. This is the easiest customer service issue for a good manager to make right. What did Kevin do? He double downed. I asked for a more senior, reasonable person. No such person was here. I asked for the home office email or phone numbers. He told me to look it up myself. Awesome example in front of my family of what not to do. By the way, no voices were raised or scene made. It wasn't worth that trouble. And clearly, the light wasn't coming on for Kevin. I order a sweet tea and then change to unsweetened, according to Kevin, it is a different charge. I know Primanti is better than this. Avoid the heartburn and don't buy the Dirty Soda as it is the poorest value on the menu. The food was fresh and tasty, promptly delivered. Shameful that such a simple and inexpensive thing was left unattended. This locations has a lot of tvs dedicated to the best in sports programming. After a long week away from home, facing a 2 hour delay, it wasn't the experience I was hoping for.
