“Went to Tiki today 10/8/22. There was a group of us that flew in, I guess 13 in all. They were doing a good business today with several tables full of customers. They allowed us to pull tables together for our group. Even having several customers and light on staff our drink orders were taken promptly. As we all visited the waitress took our orders and for our size group the food came out in a timely manner. Everyone was happy with their food and no complaints as far as timing. Our group will be going back!!!!“

“This place gives off an old-style diner feel, one that isn’t around to much any more. The atmosphere was quant with no need to have to talk loud to have conversations. The staff were friendly and assisted in any way they could. The only complaint that I had was that there was a pretty large lapse of time where we got refills on our drinks. Other than that, I highly recommend this place for weekend brunches or just general over-all comfort food.“

“My wife and I stopped in Sat Aug 8, 2026. It's another absolute hidden gem on the east end of Galveston Island. We came in and had an abbreviated lunch. Plenty of seating inside and outdoors at lunch time with no wait. We shared a Fried Green Tomato Appetizer and a Redfish BLT w/Fries. The food is superb, they locally source their Redfish from the island, meaning it's fresh! If you've never had a Redfish BLT, stop in, It'll knock your socks off, guaranteed! Long story short, if you're looking for an off the beaten path eatery for something extraordinary, and with absolutely no wait and friendly, attentive service on a busy saturday afternoon on Galveston Island, this is an absolute must!“
