Tropics Bar and Grill

My last couple of weeks have been hectic with my real job and health issues (nothing real serious). I figured I'd put a little blurb up about a new restaurant in Omaha, Tropics Bar and Grill. The head chef is an acquaintance of mine, and he certainly knows how to cook a mean burger.

We went out on their opening night, which may have been a mistake. The big problem right now is an inexperienced wait staff. The slow service was greatly off put by the food. The menu is not all that large, but where is lacks in number of items it makes up for in the burger menu. It has an absurd amount of toppings to choose from along with excellent prices on a single, double or triple burger. The triple by the way is a pound of tasty grilled and seasoned ground beef. Toppings range from a fried egg to black beans. And let us not forget the cheese selection, for maybe the first time in my life I had smoked Gouda on a hamburger, something I wish to happen again.

One of the hidden joys of Tropics is the Jukebox selection. Maybe one of the greatest jukeboxes I have come across in my time. I could easily drop $10 and still have plenty of music that I had missed.

  2. Also, are you guys still doing challenge night at all? That lamb burger was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Srsly.

  3. Challenge night ended when Zach started school up again. I still get my hand at making a mess in the kitchen every once in awhile.

  4. I think it should probably start up again. Or, really, maybe you can just cook me delicious meals sometimes. That would be epic! Sounds like fun, right?

    I can provide the booze to sweeten the deal!
