Tropical Hut - Quezon City

Old classic; there's something about the run-down appearance of Tropical Hut stores that ironically keeps it evergreen. It's comforting to hang out in the same style interior that they've had since I was a kid. Maybe they should try to apply for a "trade dress", like In & Out in the US. This place in particular attracts seniors and grown-up 80's kids alike, that's why it's always packed. Plus, it being attached to a grocery from the heyday of Glory and Hi-Top also helps too. I always have the Quick Fried Beef and slather it with mustard, another attraction for me. This chain is one of the few that actually have mustard.

Tropical Hut is a place staple where most old villains from the action films of Fernando Poe hang out. They have good portions of chicken served but the one we usually go back for is their breakfast menu. My mom loves their ham and eggs as the eggs were not too dry and well cooked. I usually take out one then bring it to my mom's office. There are very few people who come here so this is also a good place to hold quick meetings to discuss over a cup of coffee or a plate of pasta.

The Classic Burger is big and juicy, it has it's own distinctive taste...very Filipino. But, the place needs to be renovated because it's old and dreary.

The place seems too worn out now and the management may have disregarded good service. Some of their burgers arw still good, but never the fries. My go-to place for instant no-fuss chili burger though

Everything I ordered here tasted good for the price. A lot of people are still eating here and the food offerings are different from the typical fast food. Palabok and their cheeseburgers are good.
