    Cracked black pepper in dragonfruit smoothie

    Serving up Spicy Smoothies My educated guess would be someone who was restocking got cracked black pepper mixed with chia seeds. Cause the dragon fruit doesn't taste spicy Subbed the pineapple with blueberries And subbed the lime with kiwi Both kiwi and dragonfruit do have small black seeds but neither give off a pepper taste or smell

    I was in the mood for a great smoothie and that's what I got! I really enjoyed the mango magic smoothie. It consisted of mango, pineapple and non-fat yogurt. My mom chose the jetty punch smoothie and she enjoyed it as well. Her smoothie consisted of strawberries and bananas. This location does have a drive thru as well. The inside is clean and has plenty of tables to sit down. There were quite a few people inside. The bathroom was clean. The cashier was nice and helpful. Our smoothies came out quickly! I will be back to try something off the food menu!

    Disappointed the system let me order something out of stock on the mobile app. But the staff was friendly, and made a chia pudding bowl with the toppings I wanted on the acia bowl. The chia pudding bowl was so delicious. And I definitely would have it again.

    I am a frequent TSC customer in various locations. I love writing reviews (I don't like to leave negative ones) and I'm heart broken to say that this Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the WORST location that I have ever visited. I got a green dream bowl and there was a piece of RUBBER in the bowl... yes, RUBBER. It was the first bite and I literally chewed it and am so thankful that I didn't eat it. I love the green dream bowl, but lost my appetite after that first bite. I was on a road trip and they said that the only way I could get a refund/new bowl is if I returned to the store. So I drove out of my way back to the location like an hour later to only be told that I couldn't get both a refund/return. That was confusing and miscommunication as I thought that's what the solution was. I went out of my way for a mistake, which I tried to be nice about to only leave with a customer service experience that left me disappointed... I work customer service as well and I really try to be kind-spoken... but this experience could've been made better but was left feeling dissatisfied. I wish there was clearer communication and more attentiveness towards resolving a situation like this... I love TSC and I understand that mistakes happen, but this was a bad experience.

    Tropical Smoothie Cafe (TSC) has been blazing a trail around the Low Country lately! They opened this location in Pooler and most recently in Savannah on Abercorn in the same year! I first discovered TSC when we lived in Virginia Beach many moons ago and liked their healthy offerings among the many chain restaurants. We like to visit a TSC location while we're traveling especially, because the choices of road trip eats is really limited, not very enticing and generally not very healthy! We recently visited this location at the drive thru for a quick boost just before heading over to Tanger for a morning of shopping. - Parking - Center lot. It is located on the small strip of businesses just before you enter the Tanger Outlets on Tanger Outlets Blvd. I believe it's still considered a part of the Tanger Outlets. It's the business on the end and it has a Drive thru! - Vibe - They've definitely gotten a face lift in the past year or so. Not sure how long ago, because we've only been back on the mainland for about 1 1/2 years now, but it's bright, colorful, fun and fresh looking. Exactly what a smoothie shop should look like! - TLC - The lady who took our order and took care of us at the window was very nice. - Sips & Noms - My husband ordered the Peanut Butter Cup with a shot of Whey protein and I ordered the Island Green. His smoothie tasted as usual, but mine just tasted bland. Maybe too much ice and not enough ingredients? I've enjoyed it in the past, but maybe the smoothie maker didn't measure the ingredients properly that day? I would have definitely asked for a new one had we dined in, but we had already made it over to the main Tanger Outlets complex and didn't feel like lopping back. Eh, it hapens. Smoothies are one size at 24 oz, priced at $5.19. Supplements are at an additional cost obviously. The Whey was $0.99. They also have a pretty decent selection of eats that range from salads, sandwiches, wraps and quesadillas. In the past, we've had a variety of things to eat and all have been great. - Kiddos - Kids smoothies are 12 oz at $2.99. My kids love smoothies so they slurped it right up! TSC is definitely a great addition to Pooler and in that area specifically. A lot of people are traveling up and down I-95 and if I was a hungry traveler, I would definitely consider stopping here before some of the other spots, for a quick, healthy bite before hitting the road again!

    Fresh fruit and veggies

    I an ecstatic to have one of my favorite food spots finally here in town. I have searched since moving from Florida and the closest was in Jacksonville but today was the grand opening of a new one in Pooler! Being one of the first 50 winners to get smoothies for a year is the highlight of my day today! Make sure to get down and try the awesome natural smoothies of Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Every bit of flavor is experienced in their drinks and the wraps are made to devour cause you won't want to miss a bite. Whether its to detox or workout meals TSC has the perfect blend for you. Plenty of island flavors also to choose from, you'll for sure make this a top spot. Welcome to Pooler TSC

    It should not take 14 mins to make 2 smoothies. We were the only car in the drive thru and only 1 customer in the cafe. The server Sequoiya acted like she did not care to be at work. When handing us our smoothies she just said "here you go". Horrible customer service especially when we had to wait so long with no apparent reason. Once we got our smoothies there was no taste at all. I order the same smoothie every time and this was by far the worst.

    Bad apples and bananas
    Angelynn J.

    This is probably the worst Tropical Smoothie I have ever been to. The server Jessica was rude and the food is taking forever to be ready. The bananas and apples were very bad. We ordered a sandwich and a salad; 20 mins later we got two sandwiches. They offered to make the salad but we didn't want to wait another 20 mins to eat so we jus took it. That was the longest wait ever for a tropical smoothie. This is the worst tropical smoothie I have ever been to. I will never come back to this Tropical Smoothie. I'm very disappointed.

I always give employees grace because they showed up for work, however there is something called being professional and providing half way decent customer service. I stopped in to grab the new blueberry lemonade smoothie. So, I saw the sign saying free upgrade on Fridays. I asked the employee were they still honoring that and he said "well is today Friday?" I had to pause for a minute bc I didn't know if he was being slick mouth or honestly didn't know. So, I just answered yes today is Friday and he replied, yes we are still doing the upgrades and it should come off automatically. Well after placing my order he added the upgrade and when he tried to scan my rewards barcode it took forever to populate. He stated that the system was moving slow and did I want to cancel the order and retry it. I stated that "idk it's up to you" he waited a few minutes then tried it again. All the while the one other employee was washing the blenders with an attitude and slinging stuff everywhere. Mind you there were only 4 people in the store and two of them were waiting on their orders. After he scanned my rewards, I asked him did it take my $3 off he said idk let me look. As he is checking the employee with the attitude tells him "you have someone else behind her". I was very shocked and ticked off bc he can clearly see another customer behind me , what did she want him to do?? Stop helping me to help the other guy. What she could have done was opened the other register to help him if she wanted to rush. I kindly told him to cancel my whole order bc I have never seen such rude behavior before , they acted like they had a store full of customers. As stated 4 people and that 4 included me. Worst service ever !!! Mind you I was only visiting in this area, so trust and believe I will not be back. Just nasty people.

But we did not let that deter us and we went in and used the electronic device to get us on a waiting list. We were told 15 minutes, but we waited no more than 10. I am going to take into consideration the massive crowd, and say that our food and drink came in very reasonable time considering. We were not in a hurry, and kind of enjoy the bustle and the people. Our waitress was exceedingly friendly, very helpful and very accommodating. My friend and I each got a fancy Sunday brunch cocktail. Mine was strawberry, and it was delicious. She loved hers as well, she got the grapefruit one. They were lovely to look at and delicious and refreshing. A very fun way to start our Sunday morning. We both ordered the California club sandwich and I asked for gluten-free bread. The sandwich was delicious and the gluten-free bread was good. If you know about gluten-free bread and the heartache of searching for a decent slice, then you'll appreciate this bread on your sandwich. I got french fries which seems I have to order every single time even as I contemplate the healthier side choices. They were great, hot, fresh, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My friend got a side salad which she was happy with, obviously far more willpower than I have. She was not happy with the dressing she had chosen and the waitress happily brought her a different one. While we were there, I noticed everybody was working so hard and the customers all around us seem to be very much enjoying themselves. I don't know if this should really be relevant in my review but there was a group of four people who were sat down in a table nearby who upon being seated asked the waitress immediately if they could get their food quickly and she told them that it probably would not be as fast as they would like it. At which point they got up and left. The waitress seemed to feel bad about that, but when the manager came over to investigate, he simply took it in stride and then started to clean the table off for the next group. My friend and I had to wonder who would come into such a bustling and packed restaurant and think that they were going to get served especially fast. Another thing about we noticed about the manager is that he seemed very much hands-on and all over the place in the restaurant. He was very friendly when we looked at the check-in device and wondered what we were doing ~ he made jokes that made us feel less Luddite like. He bussed tables and sat people, and checked on things, and generally looked like the kind of manager of that Gordon Ramsay would appreciate. The menu has something for everybody! And some very exciting options that we have to go back and experience. Lots of add-ons for everything, a huge variety of choices. My sister-in-law had recommended the avocado toast, and I was tempted. I was also tempted by the biscuit and gravy and the eggs Benedict, which are hard for me to resist at brunch. but I reasonably only ordered one meal for me. It's been a long review, but I have to say the meal really was that good and the whole experience was very enjoyable. Not only will I be going back but, I will be recommending it, wholeheartedly, to everybody. Thanks for a great meal!

Our food came out fast and my husband's breakfast was delicious and just what he ordered and expected. I ordered chicken salad on a croissant. However, they had no croissants available even though it's one of the $10 featured items. I settled for the summer salad with strawberries and candy walnuts. I was disappointed. It looked like a regular tossed salad with a couple of strawberries and candies nuts throwing on top with some sliced turkey or chicken.(I couldn't tell the difference.) just throwing on top. The restaurant was very clean and as I said the weight staff were very friendly and the service was fast. I would definitely go back and order the breakfast that my husband had, or try again for the Chicken salad on a croissant.

    The food at this location was okay, but the customer service really missed the mark…read more We specifically asked for a baked potato with ranch on the side, but when the food came out, the ranch was already on the potato. I pointed it out right away, and the employee responded, "I told them, but they didn't listen to me," and just walked off. No effort to fix it or take ownership. I ended up taking the potato back to the counter myself and asked for it to be remade. When it was brought back out, the gentleman who delivered it didn't say a word--no apology, no acknowledgment, nothing. What made it more frustrating is that the restaurant wasn't busy at all--we were one of only two tables there. Situations like this are easy opportunities to provide good service, and unfortunately, that didn't happen here

    This was a great stop for a casual meal and everything came out just right…read more I ordered a baked potato and a sandwich and both were really good. The baked potato was hot, fresh, and loaded well, and the sandwich was made perfectly with fresh ingredients and great flavor.

Even though it was a busy time, the service stayed friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall it was a solid experience with good food, good service, and a convenient spot to grab a satisfying meal. I would definitely come back again when I am in the area.
