    I walked into tropical smoothie yesterday. There were 3 girls working. While I was waiting to be helped there was this other random person not in uniform really long hair going back and forth behind the counter chatting with these girls and being loud whoever she was talking on the phone with. I waited 15 mins to be helped when they were standing on their phones and chatting in the back and one girl who was standing at the register whole punching paper everywhere. In those 15 mins 3 customers left. Someone cut in front of me. After that I spoke up and asked if I could get my order taken. She said I thought you were here for pick up because of the sign that was tucked in a shelf against the wall. I told her "I been coming to this tropical smoothie for years you didn't even smile or look at me when I tried to make eye contact or say "hey welcome to tropical smoothie how can I help you" your there whole punching paper while there is 3 girls in the back to make one smoothie. My thing is wouldn't it show on the back board if there was an order for pickup.Which is ridiculous" Wouldn't you guys be making it not standing around if I was picking up something. And I wouldn't be standing there with money out ready to pay because most pick up stuff is online if I was picking up. She took my order and said I got a fake receipt when my card got approved. So they charged my card twice. So I asked for a manager. The shift lead came out and I said I don't want to speak to a kid I want to speak to an adult an owner or a manager. And she kept asking how she can help me and I told her 4 times. She didn't do anything. So I asked her to call her manager. They said they're not allowed to call their manager. They're never around. Which I think is false. What if there's an issue. But you can talk to your friends in the back and call your friends and chat in the back on your phone but can't call your manager at the business you work at. Then I asked if they can put the left over smoothie in a paper cup for my son and the girl said sure. And that didn't come out right so I asked where is the smaller cup. The shift lead said no you don't get it because of the way you're acting. And the other girl said well I was going to do that personally. When do you go to a business and only get half your order, charged twice for it, no manger and treated different? I thought employees of a business are supposed to treat all the customers equally with the same customer service. I got what I ordered. And as I was leaving the girls said. "Bye bitch" "love you" "drink your fucking smoothie we didn't want you here anyway" as I went out to the car the two people who did order things walked out and were saying that the girls were rude as well. So between when I was in there and coming out people did not wanna come back or left. As a business owner I would wonder how much other business your loosing not in those 30 mins of someone saying something. I want my old tropical smoothie back! And these girls fired. No one should get treated like that.

    Too many chunks of ice in the smoothies lately- not enough flavor and good stuff! Hope they start making them again the way they used too!

    Good smoothies and wraps. The sesame chicken wrap is awesome. Can get a little pricey for a sandwich with a smoothie. Good quality though!

    Stopped in to Mad Chef unexpectedly while traveling through Lancaster…read more My wife and I were hungry and tired from traveling through Pennsylvania. Thankfully Mad Chef was open later than most places so we got in before the kitchen closed. I enjoyed the low lighting with the brewery equipment shining in the background. Having the Phillies game on the tv's only added to our experience. Our drinks and food were excellent. I always like to enjoy a local craft beer, having it paired on site with fabulous eats is even better. I ordered Mr Dynamite Brown, their American brown ale which was fabulous. We ordered a small Pommes Frites (French fries) that were cooked in Canola oil. While light in color, these fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, salted just right. My wife ordered the pretzel and said it was her type, buttery, salty, and doughy. I ordered the Korean Pork Nachos, by far the best nachos I've ever had the pleasure to devour. I can't begin to describe how well the roasted corn poblano medley brought this plate together. Every bite had an explosion of flavor with the Korean glaze and Gochujang aioli. This dish blows Guy Fieri's trash can Brisket nachos out of the water. If ever in Lancaster don't pass up on the Mad Chef Craft Brewing gem.

I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. Very different from any coleslaw I've ever had before. Not saying it wasn't good. Just wasn't my thing. The sandwich was good. My son ordered a huge sandwich (can't remember what it was called) and it has coleslaw and fries inside. I snatched a fry and they were so good! Three people, three sandwiches and under $40. Good deal! Especially when two of those sandwiches could have served other people. They were huge.

We ordered the New Yorker sandwich this time (had the Don last time). It was good but not great. The spicy mustard was unevenly applied so was missing on my half and was badly needed. The Don sandwich last week had meat spread throughout and the fries in the sandwich were crunchy and not limp like today's sandwich. We also had naked BBQ wings that were good, but again, not as good as we had last week. The wings were bigger, meatier and better sauced last time. Apparently didn't take pics last weekend for comparison, but it was noticeably better then so would suspect that cooking is uneven. Last week was a 5, today was just a 3, so I averaged.

My wife got their regular burger and it was cooked to her liking. Eventhough it was not cooked how I prefer, it still tasted good! The fries tasted very very good! I love a shoestring fry! Unfortunately, they charge an extra 6 dollars to upgrade from chips to fries with their burger. The mozzarella sticks were out of this world. This was a very good bang for your buck. Homemade and handbreaded, they were massive. You get two for 8 dollars. The prices here are very high. To put it in perspective, if you go here and get two burgers, upgrade to fries for both burgers, and get two waters, your bill is going to be $48 dollars plus tax.... The decor and scenery in here is incredible! It looks awesome. The seating is very limited. Make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. We went at 430 and about half the tables were blocked off for reservations. Would definitely like to come back here and try different items, every dish that went by looked delicious!
