ATTENTION!!IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE! My family and I came here (bypassing Cracker Barrel) thinking we would enjoy some good home cook breakfast and it was the exact opposite!! We were ignored for the majority of the time we were there, a couple came in after us (approximately 20 minutes later) and we had still not received our drinks! This couple had their order taken and was done eating before we ever had our food brought to us! The waitress came to us and got our drink and food orders. We never heard from her again! The other waitress was standing at the next table and could see me getting visibly agitated and stated to me “she’s coming” at this point I’d made the decision to leave and just pay for our drinks. When I was at the register, our food was being brought from the back and not by the waitress that took our orders! I went ahead and sat back down with my family to eat and the food was HORRIBLE! The pancakes were doughy, sausage was rock hard, and the grits were lumpy and lukewarm. We ate what we could simply because we did not have the time to stop elsewhere before heading to Tampa! I got to the register to make my complaint because we were completely ignored by the waitress! When I got to the register, I was met by the ghost waitress which told me she didn’t have my order in the computer and it would be a while so I patiently waited to pay for my order. At this time the lady at the register tells me the order is $65 before I could speak! I then asked her how did this get so expensive and we were waiting for a waitress to come to us so we could tell them how bad the food was but no one came. The lady snatch a menu from the table and resumes to read me the prices as if I hadn’t already saw this same menu! She attempted to double charge me for things and was extremely rude about it! I paid the damn bill and left but trust me I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

Simple and great. You better get here before 10:30. One of our favorite places. We love this place. Our favorite pass time is to watching people get turned away after 11:00 a.m. -come early.Best tradition southern breakfast within miles. Absolutely FAB. We drive 40 mon to get here and it's worthy it.

The food was decent. The orange juice is good. The sausage had a weird burnt and cooked texture at the end of it, but they do use real butter there, and powdered sugar for the French toast. The only issue is, the food for four people was a little bit expensive for breakfast. But, trying to find a breakfast place open, that wasn’t fast food, on a Sunday morning, is not always easy in a small town. So, my family made it work the best way we could. Thank you for feeding my family breakfast. And, the business has a unique vintage style. I think that it’s pretty neat.Parking: A few parking spaces were available, but not many. We only needed two. It was just two cars that we came in.

Tropical Palm Restaurant is a breakfast haven! Their omelets are a fluffy, flavor-packed delight, and the french toast is a golden, sweet perfection. The warm and inviting ambiance, coupled with attentive service, creates a wonderful dining experience. Whether you're in the mood for a savory omelet or a sweet start to your day, Tropical Palm Restaurant is the place to be. I'll definitely be back for more of their delectable breakfast offerings!

Place had quite a few patrons and full tables when we arrived. No one was talking and my husband and I had to whisper to each other because it was so quiet inside the restaurant. Very depressing and creepy. It was actually quite uncomfortable to be in there.The food was awful. I ordered double hash browns as they are my favorite. They were so bad I couldn’t eat more than a few bites. Coffee was very flat and bitter. Bacon did not taste like bacon. Eggs tasted sour. The best thing on the plate was the cheap white bread.Our server was very very sad. I asked the manager who was kind enough to take $12 off of our bill if she was always that sad and she said no and started to tell me the servers’ personal business as to why she’s so down. I stopped her and said I didn’t want to know but I hope her day gets better. The review is based solely on the food and atmosphere but her demeanor was heartbreaking and just put an extra weight top of the bad experience.I won’t give the place another chance.

This is a perfect example of those "hole in the wall" restaurants we need to keep around! The food was absolutely fabulous! Come hungry though because the portions are quite hefty. I had the Western Omelet with grits and a biscuit and I couldn't finish everything. The food is amazing and the atmosphere gives off that restaurant where only the locals know about. Local business is where it's at! ❤️

They were short handed and closing early, at 10 am, we arrived at 9:30. Server was somewhat friendly. Hashbrowns were a little undercooked otherwise food was good. Never saw our server once food was delivered, so no more than our first cup. There weren't that many people there that would have kept her from at least asking. Probably won't come back.
