Good Stuff Beautiful new interior (great for photos/Instagram). Central location on Broadway with easier access and parking. Small or Large Catering Requests.
Bad Stuff Higher-end atmosphere may come with slightly longer wait times. Dishes are pricier that other Caribbean restaurants.
Summary
Tropics has traded its old State Street skin for a polished, upscale home on Broadway, but don't let the fancy decor fool you the 'sweet hand' in the kitchen remains untouched. Under new management, the space has transitioned into a premier dining destination. Tropics 2.0 is officially the new standard for Caribbean excellence in Schenectady.

The New Vibe: From Lounge to “Upscale Dining”

The new management has made one thing clear: Tropics is growing up. The Broadway location focuses on a “New-Upscale Atmosphere.” What does this mean for you?

  • Wing Night Wednesdays (5 PM – 9 PM): The best mid-week deal in the city. 99¢ Wings (Dine-in only) and drink specials like the “$7 Bliss on the Beach.”
  • Caribbean Saturdays: The back room opens up with a DJ spinning Soca, Reggae, and Chutney. It’s a full Caribbean party vibe with drink specials all night.
  • Bollywood Karaoke Sundays (6 PM – 11 PM): Finish your weekend with “Bollywood Karaoke” hosted by Mahesh Persaud. No cover charge, kitchen open late, and a great community vibe.

The Menu: Traditional Roots, Elevated Flavor

Tropics continues to specialize in Traditional Caribbean Cuisine. Even with the new look, the “sweet hand” in the kitchen is focused on authenticity.

Must-Try Dishes:

  • Signature Seafood: Their fish dishes (Snapper and Shrimp) remain the star of the show. Whether steamed, fried, or brown-stewed, the seasoning is deep and traditional.
  • Curry Goat & Oxtail: These staples are the true test of any Guyanese/Caribbean spot. At the new Tropics, expect tender, slow-cooked meats that respect the old-school recipes.
  • The Bar Program: With the upscale pivot, their cocktails (especially the Rum Punch) are a highlight.
