I usually go here all the time and the customer service is ehh decent but today was awful. The manager or whoever he was, was soo rude to every customer and had an attitude. How are you going to be a manager but can't lead by example with customer service smh. Don't waste your money here. The red head worker with short hair should have been the manager over him or anyone else! Hes short with glasses and I think Hispanic or middle eastern. He literally is having the worst day and is taking it out on everyone. Being an ass to every customer and inpatient af. It's so ugly.

It's my first time trying Tropical Smoothie Cafe. I ordered an acai bowl, and it tastes like straight-up sugar. It's nowhere close to tasting like real fruit. However, the staff was friendly. Still, I would not recommend it to anyone who is trying to avoid artificial sugar in their diet.

Acai Berry Boost Smoothie and Peanut Paradise Smoothie
Stephanie L.

We made it ~15 minutes before closing on a Thursday night. Props to them for being until 10pm daily (and not closing before closing time). I ordered the Acai berry boost, (acai, pomegranate, banana, blueberries, and strawberries), $6.99. and bf ordered the peanut paradise, (peanut butter, banana, non-fat yogurt, and choice of protein- bf opted for whey protein), $6.99. There was only one size, but at least it was am large size- 24oz maybe? They came out fairly quickly, most likely because it was so close to closing time. The smoothies were fresh and made with fruit. They weren't artificially sweet as such and hit the spot! There are also wraps, sandwiches, and quesadillas that I'm interested in trying next time. There are combos which look like they're about $11-12, saving you a couple bucks rather than ordering them a la carte ($7.99 wrap + $6.99 smoothie= $14.98).

Chunks of ice so disgusting
Natalia G.

What the hell is wrong with this place?! WORST smoothie ever!! It had chunks of ice in it. Presentation was sloppy and the smoothie tasted so bad like ice and chocolate. Gross. Won't be coming back and will file a complaint as well. Franchise owner get your shit together.

Buffalo Chicken
Paola M.

Staying healthy is a must right now ! @tropicalsmoothiecafe has takeout & delivery! I had the best Buffalo Chicken wrap as well as a bomb smoothie! The Buffalo Chicken Wrap included Chicken, Tomatoes, Romain , Mozzarella (that was such a good touch! ) and topped off with their buffalo sauce & Lite Ranch, doesn't it make your mouth water ?! On the side I ordered One of their superfood smoothies ! The Açaí Berry Boost! It's made with Açaí, pomegranate,Banana,Blueberries & strawberries! Super YUM . . . @tropicalsmoothiecafe .

Great lunch spot in Chandler! I have received a lot of recommendations to check out Sourdough & Co…read more I wish I would have gone sooner! Walking into the store, the first 2 things you notice is that it is busy!, and the heavenly smell of fresh baked sourdough. The staff is extremely nice and patient, willing to answer questions if you have any. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating, even though there is a lot of tables it is definitely not enough during lunch time. I ordered a 6 inch frensh dip and their bowl of clam chowder, all to go. Driving home with my to go order was torture! My entire car smelled like bread that just came out of the oven!!! The French dip was delicious! The shop provides a giant cup of Au Jus with the sandwhich, there is no way you are going to use it all! The sandwhich was well belanced with the meat and cheese, and the flavors were a great combination. The sourdough bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely recommend checking out this sandwhich. The bowl of clam chowder is the reason I know I will be consistently coming back to this shop. As a clam chowder snob, I am obsessed! The portions of ingredients were great, not too many of one ingredient. The soup was creamy but not thick like glue, great consistency! The cut sizes for the potato and clams were great and you could easily see the clams in the soup. It was phenomenal!!! I beyond recommend checking out Sourdough & Co.

Grilled chicken is an add-on, which I paid for, so that was frustrating. I got back in line to fix it. The remake came with no chicken and no blue cheese, but I'd already put dressing on the first one and could see where someone had picked the blue cheese out. Still no chicken either time. Today I tried the drive-thru. No one was taking orders at the speaker. After about five minutes I pulled up to the window and waited another five. Nobody came out or acknowledged me, so I left. I get why other Portillo's locations have lines around the block and this one doesn't. It feels mismanaged and like the staff just doesn't care. Shorter, review-site friendly version Two bad visits in a row at this Portillo's. 1. Ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken, no blue cheese. Got blue cheese, no chicken. The remake had no blue cheese but still no chicken, and you could tell the cheese had been picked out of the original. 2. Drive-thru today: no one at the speaker for 5 minutes. Pulled to the window, waited another 5 minutes. No response, so I left. Other Portillo's are packed for a reason. This location seems mismanaged and understaffed.

In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback. You can really feel the spirit of home-cooking and the cozy atmosphere of a locally owned restaurant here. In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect. I'm excited to see the future of this establishment,

The bread on the sandwich was tough, the bacon bits were chewy, hard knots, and the sandwich was dry overall. The sweet potato fries were greasy and tough and not hot. Nothing about what I ordered today was good with the exception of the appetizer, which was the Crisp Korean Brussels and Cauliflower. It was hot, delicious and plentiful so I did not go hungry. Our server was friendly and prompt. He was very quick to refill my drink. I will say that both my chair and our table rocked terribly, so was not very comfortable. Hoping for a better experience on my next visit.

The restaurant and outdoor entertainment complex is huge and has a really fun, energetic vibe. According to the bartender, they have ping-pong, pickleball, and a big upstairs outdoor patio with amazing views of Tempe and the surrounding area. There's also a large parking lot, lots of outdoor seating, and even a dog park area, which makes it really easy to spend time here. The bartenders and wait staff were very friendly. Azbel was a great server. I had the bistro steak and fries and the Szechuan lettuce wraps, and both were really good. Portions were generous. During late-night happy hour my total was about $55 for a main entrée, an appetizer, a cocktail, and tip, which felt like a great deal. I was pleasantly surprised that happy hour runs every day Monday through Sunday from 3-6 PM and again from 8 PM to close. I also checked out the event venue on site, and it looks like it would be a great place for a company party, corporate event, or group gathering. I'll definitely be returning in the near future.
