Very nice and clean on the inside
Keisha M.

I always pass by Tropical Smoothie Cafe as it is near Amazon Fresh and Shake Shack. Also it's the only smoothie place near by that opens early at 8am and I needed a smoothie to break my 36 hour fast. There is plenty of parking in the lot and I've hardly ever seen it too crowded. The inside is decorated nicely with bright colored seats and all is modern. It's a really nice atmosphere to dine in to have breakfast or lunch. I ordered the "Detox Island Green" smoothie that comes with spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, banana & fresh ginger (naturally sweetened). They also have additional supplements and add-ins, however today I ordered as is. The smoothie was delicious and exactly what I needed. Perfect frozen consistency and taste. Also the cup size is pretty huge for a smoothie. Pretty sure I'll be a frequent patron here.

CARIBBEAN JERK wrap
Jaclyn W.

I received a couple recommendations about giving this place a try. I had the jerk chicken wrap with a banana. I don't eat beans or cheese, so I asked them to not put those in my wrap. The wrap was actually delicious, lots of flavor and had a little bit of a kick to it. My fiancé is a big fan of their smoothies and he loved the Baja chicken wrap with chips.

Strawberry banana smoothie
Paula W.

I tried the strawberry banana smoothie today, and it was really good and not to sweet. Prices are good and the size of the drink was great. Service was fast.

Thank You Michael S. for making my smoothie to help my pain in my mouth. Absolutely delicious My husband picked it up. Thank You So Much Maria

I've enjoyed this location several times. Their meals are excellent. Management ensures a enjoyable experience.

LEAN MACHINE

Tropical Smoothie Cafe recently opened up, and I finally got around to coming to this location. I used to go to the one at UIC that's inside of the recreation center, so I'm familiar with their drinks and eats. My partner and I decided to juice cleanse a little after all of the food we ate over the weekend. My partner ordered their Bahama Mama, and I did their Lean Machine smoothie. We loved our drinks, the fruits tasted fresh, and we ordered it off of Grubhub since we're both exhausted after a 13 hour drive home. Normally we'd walk right over, it's located in a shopping center where Amazon Fresh, Panera, Longhorn and Shake Shack are. My only complaint is that they still use styrofoam cups, and my driver accidentally spilled one of my smoothies. Thankfully she went back up the street, and the staff remade my drink. I think that they should look into reusable cups where you can bring back in the future. Honestly, I'd be willing to pay extra for a better quality cup, and I'm sure other customers might appreciate having an option to choose a cup. Either way, it's not going to stop me from coming here. I'd recommend this location to anyone looking for healthy alternatives, fresh smoothies, and a bite to eat.

BLUEBERRY BLISS
Van K.

Best. Morning. Pick-me-up. Ever. The smoothie/flatbread combo is perfect for the value, I got the peanut butter banana crunch and it was beyond delicious. The smoothie I chose was the Blueberry Bliss and it was also such a very sweet and pleasant drink. The staff greeted me as I entered and upon asking for help with my mobile order and direction the person at the counter got me taken care of within seconds, I couldn't have wished for a better first-time experience, thank you guys!!

sausage egg quesadilla

this is insane. this was so sad, barely filled! the tortilla tasted like chemicals like they dipped it in windex and then cooked it. wont be ever coming back, a rip off.

Mango Magic Smoothie and Sunrise Sunset Smoothie

Mango magic and sunrise sunset smoothie. They both were great. 10/10 . The mango magic was smooth and light from the yogurt in it and the sunrise sunset was nice and a little tart from the orange juice base . They were both so good

Don't blink or you might just miss this openly hidden little gem. Dino's is a structure on Hwy. 19,…read moreheading south through Holiday, it is on the east side of the street, next to a pawn shop. There are picinic tables out in the front close to 19 & parking can be a bear! I have NEVER been there when there were not other patron ( good sign). As a rule, I try to call my order in prior to arrival. ** Warning if they are slammed, they may not answer the phone, but don't let that detour you. Go on, the wait is not that long & we'll worth it. This family owned business is better than good. They have a wide array of offerings, from Greek to Italian. Everything I have had here is good, you can't go wrong. If you did not call in your order, the menu is on the window & when someone gets a second they will come take your order. You can sit at the picinic tables to wait, while your order is quickly prepared. Have a picnic there, the other customers are good people, bring your family or friends & just chill. Gyros, burgers pizza, Sammies, salads, dinners & so much more. One of my faves is the Philly cheese steak: plenty of lean flavorful meat & toppings cooked just right. They use a good hoagie roll & give a generous amount of fries ( not super crispy). Service, quality & value are all good. Gotta admit I have become somewhat of a regular, Philly cheese steak fan. If you need glitz, glamour & a server to take your order, this is not the place for you! If you want good authentic food, come on down! What's a girl to do? Pick up some faves & not cook! Happy me, better for all around me & lovin' life.

Open to 11:30 my Aunt Fanny! You can't go inside. It looks like a major renovation is going on,…read morebut the sign says "OPEN" in big red letters. Handwritten sign on door says "Order at Window". Went to window, knocked on window, got no response. Doesn't look like anyone was inside. Another customer came while waiting and tried to get someone attention too. Finally, we just looked at each other and shrugged and headed back to our cars. Disappointed to say the least.

We decided to stop by for lunch and enjoy the food while soaking in the market's lively surroundings. From the menu, we ordered: Chicken Wings with Garlic Parmesan, Nachos,Smothered BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Bruschetta, Fried Green Tomatoes. We started our meal with the Chicken Wings and Nachos. The wings were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and coated in a rich Garlic Parmesan sauce. The nachos were crispy, well-seasoned, and paired nicely with the wings. The highlight of our meal was the Smothered BBQ Chicken Sandwich--a juicy, tender chicken patty topped with fresh salad. We wrapped up our lunch with Bruschetta, a fresh and flavorful Italian classic, which was the perfect way to end our meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our food from The Trough at Starkey Market. It's a great spot for a casual, delicious meal with fresh ingredients.

The Trough has good food in a fun outdoor rustic atmosphere. You get plenty of fries with burgers…read more They are so good. The wings can be big or really tiny. I suggest going on Wednesdays for 75cent wing day and loading up then. Their garlic parmesean is the best I have tasted in a long time. They are not shy with sauce so I suggest getting wings naked with on the side. Beer is cold. Plastic cups. Sometimes there are bands and activities for the kids. Check in advance to ensure they are not closed for an event.
