We had chicken, baked and fried, macaroni and cheese, greens, and cornbread. Firstly, the fried chicken was delicious! It was seasoned and fried perfectly. The greens were delicious too, not too salty but definitely seasoned very well. The macaroni and cheese was also very delicious. It wasn't too hard or chewy, something I dislike about some, but it also had a very nice cheese flavor. Additionally, working with them for the catering process was amazing. They were extremely kind and accommodating for our family and this large meal. My parents visited once before our reunion and told me that they loved it so I had high hopes when I heard they were catering. They did not disappoint. I plan to go very soon to try some of their other meals as its definitely high up on restaurants I want to try.

The line was long, but they kept things moving with someone taking orders, which made the process efficient. We didn't get a chance to actually see the food line until we got closer to the front but if we had, we would've chosen something different. Still, our meal overall was good. The greens and the rice with gravy could've used a bit more flavor.The red velvet cake, unfortunately, was a 0/5 for me. For the price -- about $40 -- I'm not sure it was fully worth it, but I WOULD go back to try other menu items.

The deeper I got into the neighborhood the more I knew the grill would be well seasoned and the staff would be my auntie's age with attitude. This isn't a 5 star restaurant from the looks inside and out but the food is home cooked goodness. It's the traditional diner setting from years ago. Nothing fancy but it was clean. Well I was right by all accounts. That was definitely an auntie taking orders and probably her sister, if not her mom, on the grill. When I saw all that bacon and real scrambled eggs, I knew I needed to treat this as the last great meal I'll eat for a while. The food was seasoned and hot and the staff was somewhat friendly. Supporting local businesses is so important, regardless of what city you're visiting.

Ambiance is "it's been here a minute," which it has. Food is cafeteria style and served quickly; table service is also quick, pleasant, and we did not feel rushed. SO many choices! I opted for 4 veggies: fried okra, cabbage, broccoli cheese and mac & cheese: $13.62++. So much food that I took about 1/3 home. Boxes were easy to access and check out was...a bit challenged that day because they had just switched systems, but oh well. And there is a fee to use a card, or a discount for cash, as they word it. Def will return. Too many choices I missed, and next time I'll save room for dessert.

This place has grown on me. Pros: Food is delicious. I…read morehaven't had a bad dish in the times I've visited. I stick with the salmon, and they know how to cook it to my liking. Cons: Pricing. If I'm gonna pay for an upscale experience, give me real plates, real cups and real silverware to go with it, not the plastic stuff. Also, gratuity is added automatically to every ticket, regardless of party size. I'm a tipper, but I don't like being forced to do it upfront regardless of how service may be. To me, that sometimes equals poor service because the server knows that she's gonna get a tip regardless of performance. Overall, this is a place I visit every now and again. The night vibe isn't for me, but I enjoy the daytime visits. I like to support minority businesses, so I will be back on occasion.

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the whole fried snapper with candied yams and macaroni and…read morecheese. The macaroni looked very light in color, but don't let that fool you, it was flavorful, creamy, and very well prepared. Everything on the plate was seasoned nicely and satisfying. That said, there were a few things about the atmosphere that took away from the experience for me. The restaurant was extremely dark inside, and the music was much louder than necessary, making it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the meal. I was also caught off guard by customers smoking marijuana indoors. I'm pretty sure I left with a contact high while writing this review. I do think it would be helpful for the establishment to make guests aware of that at the entrance so people can decide beforehand whether that environment is for them.

The jerk chicken was definitely my favorite. Rice and peas were standard and delicious. Mac and cheese was Southern-style and good. I recommend also ordering a fun soda, they have lots of unique options you can't find just anywhere. I tried the grapefruit and grape. All in all, Tropical Grill is worth trying, especially if you like spice and interesting flavors. Any sort of meat with sauce over rice is a winner in my book. Parking is in the back!
