When will you be opening for the season date and time?

You are correct. Wednesday, March 14th, 5PM.

Closing for season?

Last day is September 30th

Can we call before 5 to place an order?

We will take orders at any time, as long as someone is there and can get to the phone. You can still order from your car, however, at this time, all orders are bagged "to go."

Why has the food gotten skimpy? Spent $45 between dinner and ice cream. I got 1/2 a banana split when I paid for the whole thing. My roll was stale as though it had been sitting out on a counter for days. Just wondered what was going on??

My complaint was not about the wait but the quality of the food. I grew up w tropical treat it was not the first time I ate there. It is slipping.. Stale rolls, 1/2 a sundae for the price of a full sundae.. Really?!! Not good!

What time can you start calling in for ordering Was not sure if could call before 5

You can call anytime. If someone can get to the phone, we'll take your order.

First time here! Food was good! We will have to go back for ice cream. Good & very affordable. Nice option for anyone looking for something to eat in area after 9pm. CASH ONLY in case you are like me & have been up for 22 hours straight & missed where it’s clearly posted 😭😎

The best chocolate peanut butter soft ice cream BUT it's not always available. The flavor of the week changes. So you must get it when you see it on their signage. Today was the day.

Good ice cream and nice outdoor eating areas on patios out back. As a local I can say that this place is always busy when open. However, part of that may be the extremely slow service holding people up. Definitely not the quickest place to grab a cone or bite to eat, but is worth a try if you're not in a hurry.

1st time there. I had the chocolate marshmallow peanut sundae and my husband had the dusty road sundae. You can walk up or stay in your car and a carhop will bring your order. They have food to eat and all kinds of ice cream.

Friendly, fast, placed order ahead for pickup (everything was correct), ready at the correct time (even though I was a little late), crab cakes are not high quality but they're good for a fast food place and a nice size (med. smallish), sometimes you have to wait a bit for your order if you place it when you get there and it can be busy at times, but exercise a little patience and enjoy some time to slow down. We love the French Poodle sandwich (hotdog with beef BBQ), Fatboy sandwich (double cheeseburger with house sauce [like a tartar sauce, colored pink for fun]), all their subs come bagged with a generous amount of lettuce and onions. They are ALWAYS willing to customize our orders, even serving with no bun (no discount of course). Try the Texas taters: seasoned large steak fries, or the onion rings. Their fries come unsalted. Sundaes and ice cream is good, especially soft serve flavors. Ask if they have raspberry!

The Tropical Treat is like a trip back in time. Classic drive-up style service with tasty flavored soft serve. The orange and vanilla mix in a sugar cone was a good choice! I would definitely stop by for a tasty treat again when we are visiting PA.

Hello my name is Nikki and I work for Shoe Orthodontics. I just wanted to reach out during this time and let you know how your business has been a favorite of the community since you opened your doors in 1953. My family has enjoyed over the years to come eat lunch/dinners there. Can’t wait for our next visit!

me and my boyfriend ordered our food and about an hour and a half of waiting later we asked one of the waitresses when our food will be ready and she proceeded to tell us that we would have to wait about another 10 minutes. Half an hour passed and we decided to leave because waiting over two hours for a burger and chicken strips is pretty ridiculous. the service is VERY slow for being considered a “fast” food place.

Used to be good but service is now pretty bad. Long waits and twice in a row Peanutbutter advertised as flavor of the week. Both times they said the machine was broke. Owners should have the sign. Changed wont be wasting my time stopping for family anymore.
