Since when did the drive thru cashier start asking before they make your food " Do You Want To Leave A Tip"
Like all you did was the job you applied for. Come on, I felt obligated to leave one, but if I didn't, would my food be different?

I always enjoy the food I get here. It's fast and delicious and a much better alternative to normal fast food.

First off, staff is great. But this is the MOST INCONSISTENT tropical smoothie location in Jacksonville.They have improved the smoothie consistency somewhat but the food is ridiculously underwhelming. I ask for extra chicken on my flatbread only for a third of the flatbread having no chicken at all, and it definitely didn't seem like any extra chicken was added. It's the closest to my work location but I think I've made my last trip there for along time. I'll be going to the one by the town center or on Southside. Save your money and go to those locations if you want quality every time you go.

Horrible customer service, you can tell or franchise owned. Lack of curiosity also long lines due to staff. I highly not recommend this store. Very very rude and non chalant

I’m usually happy to get Tropical Smoothie on my side of town (thanks Roosevelt) but this one was….not meeting expectations.
My Thai (vegan) chicken wrap had zero sauce in it, very dry, flavorless. Definitely not how I’ve had it prepared before. Maybe I’ll give this spot another chance but we’ll see
