Tropical Grille<\/i> followed Smashburger<\/a> into this endcap when the burger chain closed here in 2019. I wasn't sure exactly what the theme of Tropical Grille<\/a> was, but they characterize themselves with:<\/p>\n

Savor the rich, authentic flavors of Cuban and Latin-inspired cuisine at Tropical Grille.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

which sound pretty good (if a bit chicken-y for me).<\/p>\n

Looking at their website, it's an upstate South Carolina chain with 9 other locations, this one having been the only one here in the Midlands after the Main Street location<\/a> closed in 2012.
\n.<\/p>\n

I like the mascot!<\/p>\n
