We dined in twice in one day. Actually within 4 hours. I didn’t get to take a picture of our burger that was so good! It was the tropical with pineapple! We also had their Kermie egg rolls and the sauce that came with it was delicious! Service was great. Troy was friendly and helpful. This place really reminded me of a small bar in Aruba. Great drinks and food! I wish I ordered some kermie egg rolls to go for later. Also I love that they have bamboo plates cutlery and to go containers. Made my heart so happy!!!!! Will def come back when we can!

It was okay. Seems like it’s good for booze I guess. If you’re sober, the vegan options weren’t amazing. The Buffalo egg roll wrap was small and not a meal at all. The vegan bowl wasn’t bad…. All in all, great location. Cute atmosphere and clean-ish bathroom, no soap. Pay-for parking lot. I personally would not come here again. Nice staff. Patio was dog-friendly. The to-go containers were eco-friendly!

Awesome find on the boardwalk. If you want a small break from seafood, try the Southern Chicken Sammy. Tender and juicy chicken, seasoned with a not-too-soft / not-too-spicy blend, rested on a toasted bun.
The batter dipped fries were a perfect side & the sandwich pairs nicely with the Kona beer.
Very reasonably priced.

Bonus: Nice breeze and great view from the rooftop bar.

This place is the coolest! Love the rooftop bar! There’s levels in the building so there’s a middle floor where you can go inside and sit in the air conditioning and cool off from the beach. And the first floor has a bar also. We looked up this place online yesterday before coming in. Really happy we decided to check it out. The bartenders were super cool and accommodating; recommended great dishes and drink specials. I’d recommend the Under the Sea poke bowl, so fresh and filling. Also the egg rolls are so good! The McLovin and the Cluck Norris are favorites. We had such a beautiful, sunny day enjoying the fantastic views. Thanks for such a great first time experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Great experience having dinner here. Our server was the bartender and we could tell they were very busy but she was very attentive and efficient. The vegan pizza rolls are awesome even if you aren’t vegan. Lots of great craft beer options too. Smack dab in the middle of the boardwalk so very lively.

Absolutely loved our experience at The Tropical! The service was top-notch from the moment we arrived. The rooftop bar is a perfect vibe—great views, laid-back atmosphere, and an awesome spot to relax.

The frozen drinks hit the spot on a warm day, and the egg rolls were out of this world—crispy, flavorful, and a must-try. Everything from the food to the ambiance made this a standout experience. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

For the area your in this is felt like a healthy solid option, the roof top seating was awesome, the food and drinks were good and we felt everything was well priced for how food you’re getting. If we came back to the area we would come here again!

My daughter and I tried The Tropical tonight for dinner. It was delicious! We tried three different egg rolls and my daughter got the fried chicken & mashed potatoes kids meal. Everything we tried was amazing. The staff and owner were so friendly. It was a rainy evening so the rooftop was not open, so we ended up sitting on the middle level. It has an amazing cozy vibe. Definitely going back on a weekend to enjoy a cocktail and some more delicious food. Great addition to the CB Boardwalk.

My wife and I tried The Tropical for the first time for lunch today and we were really impressed! The drinks were delicious (we tried the Miami Vice) and the food was hot and tasty!

It’s so nice to have another option for vegan food on the island and we will definitely be back soon!
