Big Lick Tropical Grill

love this place!!

Great place. Good food & service

I am from out of town and had the misfortune of staying at a hotel near this establishment. I assumed that it would be some Caribbean or tropical cuisine. The place has meatloaf on the menu and the closest they get to tropical is a fish taco. Utah is probably more tropically themed. They were out of all bottled beer except Red Stripe and Natty Light. I ordered a martini and the glass came out half full and was mixed poorly. The highballs were weak and served in plastic beer mugs. I ordered the gator bites as an appetizer; pure salt and batter. This place does not offer any flavor beyond salt. My meal was the "Big Fish" dinner, essentially fish and chips. The fish was a large piece, but it was all batter and terribly salty. I couldn't finish half of it. The coleslaw and fries were at least edible. I travel all over the east coast, so I eat at some dives and manage to put down some horrible food, but Big Licks licked my appetite. I would rather eat at McDonald than ever eat here again. The service was slow but adequate. The prices were reasonable, but then again, you can't eat the food.
