Delicious food and great service! Satisfying at the bar in Tiki Hut. Our Bar Tender was very attentive! Fried Grouper Tacos were amazing! Hubby said his Riviera Burger was delicious.
Straw Onions were good! Sweet potato fries were not hot! That's our only complaint!!

Sat in the tiki bar area right along the channel. Lots of large fish along the dock and sea gulls which people feed food scraps. The food and service were good. Had some nice entertainment as well.

Dagnabbit this place is great. My favorite local spot, hands down. Be ready to wait for a table if you want to sit outside but it is definitely worth it. Soups are great on a chilly day, fried goods are fresh, sandwiches are thick, drinks are great. Two thumbs up - always. (Added bonus: boat friendly)

12/31/25 - Dad took us out for lunch. I ordered the Redfish again but this time I went with fried. I ordered French fries again. The redfish came out blackened and with cole slaw. NO COMPLAINT! The fish looked perfect as soon as she sat it down. The cole slaw had some pineapple in it, which really have it a nice twist. Once again, we looked at the fish and walked along the dock.

12/27/25 - Fantastic! We had a delicious meal right next to dinner huge fish swimming around in the backwaters. The crab cakes were really good. They are cooked perfectly. My blackened fish was very good as well. We'll be coming back soon!

This place is always great. Hit and miss on food. But great place to pull up for relaxing a few hrs then head back out on water...👌

Came in for dinner, but didn’t realize my hypoglycemia was going to decide to join us. The hostesses saw something was not right asked my husband if he needed anything. He told them crackers, one ran to get me some asap while the other was looking for candy. We were told a 30 min wait, but I think it was closer to a 5 min wait. Our waitress was adorable, very attentive again saw me struggling and brought my soup out before the meal which solved the issue! It is so wonderful to see young people genuinely caring and working so hard. Absolutely recommend!

First time there. Sat at the bar and it was packed and service was excellent. Ordered 1lb of cooked peal and eat shrimp that was amazing. Price was reasonable for today time.

The place is right on the water with great views. Can’t beat that.
Service was decent. Food was decent too, with one big miss.

No gluten free option. At all.

That’s a big chunk of people these days. And let’s be honest, it’s not a huge lift for a restaurant. Even a gluten free bun would’ve solved it. I just wanted a burger.

Hopefully they fix that. Everything else was solid.

The atmosphere is great along with the views and the food is decent my only critique would be they don't offer any gluten-free options. Come on really offering a gluten-free bun shouldn't be difficult today. Please do that and I'll give you five stars
