This is a smaller sister restaurant to the Tropical Smoke House in WPB. This is some dang good barbecue. The of ribs are smoked for 7+ hrs and are fall off the bone tender . A full rack is good for 2-3 people.They have a variety of homemade sauces. I suggest you try them all.The plantains cooked perfect with a light crisp. The mac and cheese wa s creamy but very mild. The coconut rice fragrant and fluffy The coleslaw is vinegar based and added a nice balance to all that heavy food. We also tried the cornbread made with Jimmy red corn and beef tallow.
This has to be a "known" to locals place. We were not sure just where the door was. What looked to be a side door is the front door. No combination plates are served. It's strictly al la cart. I had 1/2 pound of brisket and a half rack of ribs. The brisket was tender and moist with decent bark. Quite tasty. The ribs had a good smoke ring and were very tender, not "fall off the bone," having a slight pull when biting. Neither the brisket or ribs needed any sauce. They were very good! The only down side was the cost. Over $50 with an iced tea. A bit more than I expected to pay. The brisket was so good that another member of our team went back and got more.
True hidden gem located right on Atlantic Avenue. We got the Happy Hour burgers which were amazing! We added French Fries which were also good! My husband tried the Mac & cheese, Cole slaw, and plantains. All were pretty good - the Cole slaw was average but the plantains were great. Shout out to Milo, our bartender who is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We love the vibe from the outside decor as well as the inside. We will definitely be back.
BEST smashburgers in town (SHHHH)!! Also amazing BBQ! The spicy wahoo dip is a must as well, and is mildly spiced unless you ask them to make it hotter. This location has a cozy vibe! We enjoy sitting at the bar talking to Milo and Ethan (the master Smashburger maker). Service is excellent and the staff is very welcoming. For the pups, they sell smoked pig ears and my dog loves them! We always grab them to go for her. She even enjoyed a Smashburger for her 4th birthday at home Wanna save some money? They are on InKind! Check it out.
WOW! Delicious brisket sandwich and hot & sweet hush puppies. The brisket was on point. Moist and full of flavor, no sauce needed, totally recommend. Hush puppies were dense and yummy. Hubby had jerk chicken sandwich and he tells me it was very good, fries were hot and crispy. Service was awesome, welcoming and friendly. Food came out fast and portions were perfect. Sweet tea was sweet, but refreshing on a hot Florida day. Ambiance was chill, with good music. I can't wait to come back and try something else. You got to try this place out!!!
Back for some BBQ Pork Spare Ribs (9.2) and shared an Old Fashioned Burger (8.5) as an app. The Caribbean Slaw (9.0) so good and Fries (7.8) nice and hot, rounded out our meal. Love the Gulf Stream Graphic IPA (9.5) they have on tap. "The boys" are great and provide excellent hospitality. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
We have been wanting to try the new Tropical Smokehouse in Delray since it opened, so we stopped in yesterday. We parked next door in a lot with free parking, which was convenient. There was plenty of open seating inside since most people seemed to prefer sitting outside when we walked by. You can either order with someone at the front or use the electronic ordering screen. I ordered the chopped brisket sandwich, and my boyfriend ordered the burger and another chopped brisket sandwich. The chopped brisket sandwich was good and had a generous amount of meat on it, though there were a few fatty pieces. It was served on a nice bun. My boyfriend enjoyed both sandwiches, but he was especially wowed by the burger, he's still talking about how good it was! The sides are $5 each, but you can choose 3 for $13, which is what we did. We got the kale Caesar, mac and cheese, and fries. The kale Caesar was good, but it could have used a little more dressing, so I asked for an extra side. The mac and cheese was pretty good, and the fries were nice and crispy. They had around five different BBQ sauces, including spicy, mustard, coffee, sweet, and white BBQ sauce. They were all unique, but we didn't absolutely love any of them. We'll definitely be back, though. They have a happy hour every day from 4:30-5:30 with $5 single burgers and 50% off drinks. The food came out quickly, and overall we really enjoyed it. Our friends also got the hot and sweet hush puppies, which were VERY good!
I went for my 3rd time! Sent all of my friends and family and they are obsessed! Hands down-by far the best burger I've ever eaten! Just like I like my patties-flat with some burnt crispy edges, super uber cheesy and saucy as evinced in the photos. I love the sauces! The coffee sauce and the spicy sauce-soooo good! I don't get pickles on my burgers. I had a tangerine beer-the nice guy behind the counter gave us a little tasting! Fries are crispy and pretty good. We always go for happy hour deal. 4:30-5:30. I told my mother that we can't eat here every week because my cholesterol is high but it's sooo delicious!
Came here Sunday night for a quick bite with my boyfriend at Tropical Barbecue, and overall had a great experience. I loved the variety of sauces they offer. He ordered the full rack of ribs and they did not disappoint -- the seasoning and flavor were absolutely on point. I really enjoyed the mac and cheese and the crinkle-cut cheese fries as well. The only downside was the brisket, which was extremely lean, dry, and lacked flavor. That said, I'd definitely recommend sticking with the ribs -- major Flintstones vibes (in the best way possible)!
So good! The meats were incredible--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. I'm a big BBQ sauce fan, and every sauce they had was amazing. My favorite was the coffee BBQ sauce; it was unique and absolutely delicious. Our server noticed it was our first time there, gave us great recommendations, and made sure we got to try every BBQ sauce before deciding on our favorites. That personal touch made the experience even better. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy an amazing meal. This was such an awesome surprise while we were looking for somewhere to eat in the area. We'll definitely be making the drive from Miami to come back again!
Holy smokes. Best burger I have ever had. Both my husband and I said it. I liked that we could order on the screen, sit outside with our toddler and try so many unique bbq sauces. They text you when your order is ready and have a great station to box up any leftover. The hush puppies were unreal as well. My toddler housed the mac and cheese. Perk of sitting outside is you get to watch pit master work his magic!
Everything I had at Tropical Smokehouse was fantastic! The pork spare ribs were tender, juicy, and tasty. The jerk chicken was amazing; the brisket was a bit dry but dipped in the sauces was great, the corn bread was slightly sweet, the mac & cheese was creamy. Next time, I have to try the pulled pork. It's not a large space, but there's a good-sized back yard. The outside of the restaurant stands out; red and white pattern.
Wow, after a day of tennis at the DBO, I stopped here for dinner! I got it to go but boy was it delicious! They have 8 different sauces you can add to the sandwich, I tried the sweet bbq and the fire bbq both were fantastic! I also tried the Caribbean slaw and the fries both were very good too! Some bbq places I get indigestion from it, but not this place! It was wonderful! They toast the inside of the bun too!

This place really surprised me. I came in on a whim and the food was delicious. We got the brisket and it was melt in your mouth good. For sides, we ordered the slaw, mac n cheese, and plantains. I would order the slaw again, it was crisp and refreshing and helps cut the fattiness of the meat. Even the drink we got, the Arnold Palmer, was good. The tea was potent, which I tasted and appreciated. For sauces, the fire bbq was my favorite. I loved trying all of the sauces. They had unique ones like coffee bbq, which were also good. Overall, I highly recommend. Maybe the best BBQ in the area. read more
Tropical Smokehouse is a great neighborhood BBQ place serving up fresh and delicious smoked meats and sides. As soon as you walk in, this place truly like a down home BBQ joint. It's not fancy, feels well worn, and the focus is truly on the food. There's plenty of seating inside and picnic tables out back. The team is friendly and really passionate about what they make. The menu is short with just the basics, the way it should be. I went for the brisket and plantains, and both were super flavorful and perfectly cooked. The brisket felt just a hair overdone, but still some of the best I've had in the area. This is absolutely my new BBQ go to and I can't wait to give it another shot, along with the incredible looking ribs! read more

Ate at their original location in West Palm years ago and wanted to try their new location in Delray. A funky building painted red and white strips. Asked which was better, the hamburger or the brisket, told the brisket. So I ordered a brisket sandwich, chopped brisket that was a little chewy. I like where it melts in your mouth. The fries were good but lots of small bits and pieces. Unfortunately not running back. read more

This was our first visit to tropical smokehouse. It was awesome.. Milo took our order gave us advice for a sampling of everything. Pork ribs were delicious. The brisket was tender and juicy. The sides were flavorful. The coleslaw vinegar base was delicious. Restroom was clean. Dining room was clean. We will be back. It's official Delray has a new barbecue source! See you again real soon. Thank you for quality food. read more
I give them 4 stars for taste. I enjoyed my brisket sandwich, crinkle cut fries and tropical slaw. I thought the mac n cheese was just ok. Also good beer selection. Value is another story. Kind of pricey relative to portion size so expect $25 per person for a sandwich, side & drink. read more

I've been to their a Palm Beach location and I am a fan. I recently order take out from their new Delray location. Much closer for me. Cool new location with a chill vibe. The jerk chicken was amazing. I like spice however this was mild and all about the flavor. It's a much try. It was take out so now I am looking forward to revisiting and dining in. read more

Had heard about the West Palm Beach location and found out they opened one in Delray. I got the burger and my wife got the pulled pork sandwich, and we got three sides and some wings. Everything was amazing! It was one of the best burgers I have had! All the sauces were excellent as well. read more

Stopped by because I recently saw comments about how wonderful their burgers were. We sat at a high top, so their "single" burgers; which have TWO patties are on special for $5.00. Honey got the jerk chicken sandwich. The burger was deeee-lish, made from sirloin and brisket with a cheese sauce that has a hot bite now and again, served on a warm, soft bun, crisp outside edges, juicy and tender inside. Crinkle fries were great. They offer a variety of sauces to compliment their sandwich's. Only complaint, they are closed on Mondays. Shout out to our extraordinary bar tender/server, Milo! read more
