The Tropics has the typical beach goer type of theme. Even though it's not next to a beach, it is located next to a lake. You can even pull your boat up and get something. Basically there's a lot of lakeside bars like it. It's best known for the drinks and live music. This of course gets pretty crowded in summer. Always some event going on. This is popular for banquets and whatever. Last time we got drinks and food. They were pretty busy so we didn't order a lot. Got the Blue Lagoon cocktail. It's about $8 and made with Blue Curacao, lemonade, and Tito's. As far as the food goes, it's mostly greasy fried stuff so we tried our best. We got the Chips And Salsa. It's about $5 for a pretty good amount. The rest of the menu is fishy and meaty. Great views of the lake. It's got a lot going on. There's live music and whatever.

The Brewers tied in Cincinnati. The US men's national team handling Bosnia. Basically every screen in the place was must-watch TV and the bartender -- understandably distracted, perhaps -- decided that was the ideal moment to restock straws and cut fruit. We waited. In the heat. Our server was genuinely good when he materialized, which wasn't as often as we'd have liked. Food: the cheese curds earned their reputation. The Mekts burger was fine -- solid, no complaints. The Reuben rolls, however, arrived looking exactly like what they were: a Sysco product plated with minimal ceremony. Hard pass next time. As for the name -- if you're picturing a dock, pilings, maybe a gull or two -- walk outside and squint hard past the road and the rooftops. Big lake's out there somewhere. Technically. Maybe a 3.2 night in a 4.3 restaurant. I'd go back on a slow Tuesday in October.

We walked in, the place was relatively empty. There were two people at the bar. We proceeded to order the pretzels with beer cheese sauce which was delicious. The I ordered the California Chicken sandwich with chips and my hubby got the gyro with chips. My son joined later and had some pretzels with cheese sauce and a Dr. Pepper. My husband and son were both satisfied with their meals. I WAS NOT! The Crispy Chicken was not very crispy and it was so over cooked that I could barely bite into it. My husband asked me not to say anything. But I saw the server look right at my plate and walk away. In addition, she asked me how I liked the sandwich to which I replied and explained. "It is still sitting on the table. I walked in here hungry and now I'm leaving hungry." Sad ... new owners! We will not return.

We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp and Maui Salmon Salad, and both were delicious. The Firecracker Shrimp had great flavor with a nice sweet and savory combination.

The sweet soy ginger salmon, pineapple, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, crispy rice cake, and sesame lime dressing all paired together so well. The only downside was that the salmon was a little undercooked in the center. Our waiter was super friendly and gave us some great suggestions on what to order, which we really appreciated.
