Over in the French Quarter, check out this location of the New Orleans-based chain Tropical Isle Original, which has earned four stars out of 210 reviews on Yelp. Dig in at the bar by heading over to 600 Bourbon St. Grab a famous hand grenade from the bar.

Yelper Alan V., who reviewed Tropical Isle Original on Jan. 5 wrote, "Based on the number of people I seen with the iconic green cups, grabbing a Hand Grenade from Tropical Isle seems to be a staple of the Bourbon Street experience"

AndYelper Steve R. wrote, "Nothing special about the place, but you should definitely stop in for a Hand Grenade to enjoy as you walk around Bourbon Street."
