"Tropical Hut brings me back to my childhood, to those simple days na ang problema lang ay kung fries or burger ang oorderin. Now here I am celebrating Heart’s Day with the same familiar flavors, pero mas malalim na ang kwento, mas puno na ng memories, at mas marunong na magmahal. Funny how a place can hold so much of our past, and still make our present feel warm and special. Happy Heart’s Day to love that grows, memories that stay, and moments that feel like coming home. PS. Thanks to Tropical Hut Team San Simon for keeping my umbrella. I'm so happy I was able to get it back. This umbrella holds memories too cause I bought it from Japan."

"Sorry was super hungry when we arrived so not much photos for tropical hut. But the classic hamburger still the juicy, tasty hamburger that I remember from my childhood. I also love their fries. We also ordered clubhouse, spaghetti and macaroni salad which were okay. But their sopas was not good. So for me, I do not recommend it. Waste of money and not worth the cheat. Ambience was okay. Staffs were friendly. We will definitely be back as I am craving their classic hamburger every now and then."

"Stopped by Tropical Hut (NLEX) and had a decent experience overall. The service was okay and the food was good and consistent with what you’d expect from Tropical Hut. The place itself is fine, but it could use a bit more attention and care in terms of upkeep and maintenance. With some improvements, the dining experience would be much better. Still a convenient stop along the expressway when you’re craving familiar comfort food."

"Review on May 1 2025 My family’s tradition going North as always includes a stop at Tropical Hut NLEX… what a good way to start our long drive to our beach house!! Tropical is a must.. never disappoints!! My mistake.. I forgot to order the A&W root-beer float.. I’ll keep that in mind when I come back!!! Truly sarap n babalik- balikan!!! Review on Sept 2024… another excellent experience to this location… truly a vice for our family… every road trip going north… tropical hut is a must stop for us… the only restaurant our family dines in every time we go North!! Review done on Dec 2022…. This is one of the flavours that I’m looking forward to have once I landed here in the Philippines… I have a lot of childhood memories eating and dining in this restaurant and all through out the years they remain original unlike their competitors.. this particular branch in NLEX deserves this rating due to the fact that my dad and his entire organization always have their breakfast here before going to their port depot in Subic where they are based… he is currently retired and all the staff and crew still remembers him.. we dined on this store on my 3rd day stay here in the Philippines while on route to see and visit my classmate who is a lawyer in Pampanga.. overall all of their menu are world class.. i particularly loved and recommend their double patty cheeseburgers.. it’s full of flavour unlike any burgers I have tried.. it’s just taste right and legit!! I recommend you try all of their menus and you will not be disappointed.. the rarity of their restaurants make them sought after and makes them special.… really worth it and truly the taste of the Philippines for me.. I only wish they can expand in North America particularly in Toronto where I live.. highly recommended to all foodie out there!!"
