This has been the most mild tasting bbq I’ve had in South Florida and I felt truly disappointed. I ordered a little bit of everything (see the receipt with the full order in the photos) and the star of all of this was the burger, which was excellent. Ribs were ok and so was the pulled pork and the sausage but everything else was DRY and overcooked, specially the brisket. I don’t know if that was a piece of the flat but even with a knife it was hard to cut through it, same with the beef rib. Portions are fine but overall, not worth the hype in my opinion, which is a shame but I was really looking forward to trying it.

I recently visited a BBQ smokehouse in West Palm after seeing it on Instagram, and I drove up from South Florida to try it out. The atmosphere was really nice and the staff was friendly. They let you order by scanning a barcode at your table or by going up to the bar. I had mixed feelings about that — my friend liked the convenience, but I personally prefer having a server take my order so I can ask questions about the menu and get a little more attention during the meal.
We did notice that after the food came, no one really checked back on us. I waited about 20 minutes for to-go boxes before eventually getting up to ask for some.
Now the food itself was really good. I absolutely loved the empanadas, the brisket, and the pulled pork sandwich. The cornbread was the only thing I didn’t care for. I also tried the cheese fries, turkey sandwich, collard greens, mac and cheese, and the chicken wings — which were huge! I even joked that the wings had a BBL. The sweet tea was also really good.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I would definitely go back for another visit.

Went here on a whim, suggested by a friend who knew I was in the area. Everything I had was amazing. I got the Mojo pulled pork sandwich, drink & fries combo, and brisket empanada. It was knock out good, can’t wait to come back and try some more… offers both inside and covered patio outside seating. Got there around 11:30 for lunch and there was a handful of people, instant service. Left at about 1215 and the place was packed out so expect a lunch rush!

Can’t go wrong with anything you order here and the beer selection is top notch. And then you have the smash burger… is there a better burger in Palm Beach county, or all southeast Florida? Crispy and juicy patties, extra melted american cheese, house made pickles with a little kick, soft potato bun and the smoked bacon is to die for. I can go on and on but I’ll leave it there for now. Thank you

This is one of those you order it yourself at your table and then they’ll bring it to you. So I rate his service a little smaller doesn’t mean it was bad but it was a 30 minute wait at 2:00 on a weekend day. Just means they were busy in the food is good. Food was absolutely excellent but again I have to place this in the value proposition where it doesn’t really belong. Value is amazing food at an amazing price. This is really good food at a pretty expensive price. So the experience is good will I go back most likely.

Best BBQ/Hispanic combo restaurant I have been to! Empanada and plantains were delicious. The BBQ and fixing were out of this world good. The meat fell off the half rack of ribs, which made us super easy to dip in the sauces. They have ALL the sauce for hour meat and I advise trying them all, especially the coffee sauce! You can order at the bar or from a QR code at your table. The staff is SUPER friendly and helpful. This was our first time eating here and the staff made the experience even better. Good beer selection as well.

We had brisket, Mac and cheese, fried plantains, and smoked black beans. All of them were perfect. Food comes out pretty fast once ordered. This is the best brisket I’ve had south Florida maybe ever. We are excited to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Tropical Smokehouse serves some of the tastiest BBQ I’ve had—smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. The quality of the meats and sides is top-notch, and everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Their special sauce ties it all together perfectly—sweet, tangy, and downright addictive!

Came in here with my buddy after our flight from Maryland to visit our other buddy from around this area. After being really hungry we came into good vibes a great fresh smell and great fresh tasting food. Owner was also greeting us and other ppl coming into the restaurant. I was so hungry and food looked so good I couldn’t even wait to eat as opposed to snapping a picture. But pictured is my buddy’s order and my Mac and cheese
