Riptides Grill

We had dinner here. Terrible food. Service was really bad, but I felt bad for our young server Kirk because he was the only one server who was running around helping everybody out. Kirk deserves a raise. They did give us a 20% discount.

Food is overpriced, quality of food is subpar, service is hit and miss. For an IHG higher end resort food should be better.

We ate here for multiple meals (lunch and dinner) while staying at the Holiday Inn. We were very impressed with what we got, especially for being a hotel restaurant. We ate in the restaurant once and the service was great. The other times, we just ordered our food and either ate it in our room or outside by the pool overlooking the ocean, which was so convenient! I ordered the garden burger and veggies, not expecting much, but they were both amazing. My husband loves nachos, and these did not disappoint. One night, we just ordered the chocolate cake instead of going out for ice cream. Best decision ever! We loved having this restaurant at our fingertips every day.

My husband and I come to FWB often and stay here at the Holiday Inn or Hilton next door (depending on points, price, availability, etc); however, we ALWAYS eat at Riptides in Holiday Inn.

This past week, we enjoyed some takeout so we could eat outside. Terry was our server. She was very helpful, cheerful and accomodating. We came in the afternoon when it was a little slower so Terry and Toya both chatted with us while we waited. Very friendly! We also MUST give a shout out to Joe in the bar. Though we didn't go to the bar this week, we often do and Joe is great! He's been there a long time and he remembers us when we visit throughout the year. That truly makes us feel so welcomed. In all, the entire staff has always made us feel welcomed and appreciated.

As for the food items, we've enjoyed all the different items we have tried. My favorites are the sweet potato tater tots, margherita flatbred (with balsalmic), and the spinach artichoke dip. Husband faves is the seafood basket. He has had it fried and grilled and does feel the grilled is better (if you are trying to decide). Runner-up items would be the cuban sandwich and the killer club. Again, we haven't had anything bad, but those are my go-to's :)

I've actually never tried their burgers so not sure there and only have had the breakfast once. It is your general buffet with a few hot items and a selection of breads, yogurt, cereal, etc etc etc.

I also want to comment on another review I read about the sticky floors. That is pretty common in that area I believe as the salt water is constantly getting tracked in and it will dry and can leave a sticky residue. Just my two cents :)

Nice restaurant & bar with a beach and seaview. The food has a big portion suitable for sharing with 2-3 pax. Staff members are friendly and accommodating.

The food was really good. They did mess up our order but noticed it before bring it to the table. So they brought extra fries while waiting. The staff was on point and fast. Atmosphere is low due to it being in an open hotel lobby, and the menus were just on printed paper. Would look a little better if it was at least laminated.

Really good food! We ordered the chicken cesar salad & cheese burger, both were great!
Ordered 2x, great both times! The only complaint was not answering the phone the 1st day, we had to go in person. It's really important with young children to be able to place to-go orders over the phone...

We decided to stay at the Holiday Inn Resort for our Anniversary and my wife's birthday. As a Certified Master Chef, I can honestly say that we received Great food and Great service! Riptides Grill provided excellent food and fantastic service. The staff was attentive and exceptionally accommodating. The breakfast buffet has a good selection to accommodate the various appetite preferences and there were a la carte options you could order if you wanted something different. The food was all fresh and presented nicely. Hot good hot and cold food cold! People who leave negative reviews of this place obviously don't know any better. Whether or not you are staying at the Holiday Inn Resort, Riptides Grill is a fantastic place to eat and have some tasty cocktails! Kudos to the Executive Chef and his wonderful staff.

Acorn salad is really good! Just don't drop an acorn or a tyrant with a badge will shoot you......were you hit? I don't know but I feel funny! ??? Classic! Dumb-on America!

Audibly sticky floors. Someone else’s lipstick on my coffee mug, which I didn’t notice until after I drank out of it. Food was gross. Hard waffles. Dense undercooked pancakes. Server didn’t even bring silverware. And then clear table before I was done. Skip it.
