The deeper I got into the neighborhood the more I knew the grill would be well seasoned and the staff would be my auntie's age with attitude. This isn't a 5 star restaurant from the looks inside and out but the food is home cooked goodness. It's the traditional diner setting from years ago. Nothing fancy but it was clean. Well I was right by all accounts. That was definitely an auntie taking orders and probably her sister, if not her mom, on the grill. When I saw all that bacon and real scrambled eggs, I knew I needed to treat this as the last great meal I'll eat for a while. The food was seasoned and hot and the staff was somewhat friendly. Supporting local businesses is so important, regardless of what city you're visiting.

I got the Veal, cobbler, fried green tomatoes, and cabbage with bread. The Veal was the star of the show. It was soft and tasted great. Best to point at your options because I asked for chicken fried steak but it was completely different from what I thought it would be. The cobbler was good. The fried green tomatoes were decent. Do not get the cabbage unless you need fiber. The service was ok. It took forever to get drinks at first but after that we got plenty of refills. I think this place is nice and I would love to come again.

The macaroni looked very light in color, but don't let that fool you, it was flavorful, creamy, and very well prepared. Everything on the plate was seasoned nicely and satisfying. That said, there were a few things about the atmosphere that took away from the experience for me. The restaurant was extremely dark inside, and the music was much louder than necessary, making it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the meal. I was also caught off guard by customers smoking marijuana indoors. I'm pretty sure I left with a contact high while writing this review. I do think it would be helpful for the establishment to make guests aware of that at the entrance so people can decide beforehand whether that environment is for them.

I had been wanting some lamb chops for a few months, and I found Yo Chef online. The reviews for the lamb chops were mostly great, so I decided to give them a try. I didn't dine in, I placed an order for delivery. I ordered the lamb chops, with mashed sweet potatoes, and red beans and rice. I had never had fried pound cake, so I ordered 2 fried pound cakes, one for myself and one for my mom. We were both looking forward to everything. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed. The lamb chops were terrible. They were extremely tough. They tasted as if they had been sitting under a warming lamp or something. Even more disappointing was they were so skimpy. They definitely didn't taste as if they were freshly cooked. The mashed sweet potatoes were not mashed at all. They were simply candied yams. The red beans and rice were the best of my order. The fried pound cake tasted as if it was fried too long. I ended up throwing everything away after trying to eat one of the lamb chops. Ultimately, it was a wasted $78, $96 including the tip.

All in all, Tropical Grill is worth trying, especially if you like spice and interesting flavors. Any sort of meat with sauce over rice is a winner in my book. Parking is in the back!
