If you do not know what tiki culture is, then you need to plant your booty on an Lyft and get yourself over here. The bartenders are the maestros.

They keep the recipe simple and classic which I love. The place isn't big and they don't serve food but there are so many places with food near by. The bar is small and they take their times with the drinks so you will have to be a little patient. If you love a tiki vibe this is a great stop.

Once inside you're immediately transported, hostess was great and helpful; explaining the fun menu options. Once seated at the bar my friend and I followed the map and enjoyed 2 cocktails.

Great food and awesome service from "Summer"...what more could you ask for!!! Definitely will be coming back with more friends and family!!!

Way tastier, balanced, and certainly stronger than I was expecting for theme park items. But I loved it! Also, my bartender was so cute, charming, but also killing it at a rather busy bar. I will say, whatever the base of the drink the actual mudslide mix, was so filling, that about three-quarters through it got almost sickly thick and sweet. Still worth it! Epic's drink game is... epic, I swear.

Food: Blended drinks that are strong. If you get the refillable tiki mug you can get $6 off a refill. We had the Pina Colada and I wish I could have tried the Mudslide. Service: The Universal staff were friendly and helpful. They washed my tiki mug before i left too. Ambiance: Best at night with all the Epic Universe lights on in the Celestial Courtyard area. There is a lot of open space and I did not feel crowded at all.

Such a hidden gem! My husband and I decided to try a little bit of everything on the menu and…read morehonestly, not a single thing disappointed. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and you can tell there's real thought put into the food and presentation. We ended up staying for well over two hours just enjoying the whole experience -- the vibes, the music, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere were just so good. It felt cozy, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. The drinks were beautifully made and paired perfectly with the food, and the staff and crowd made the space feel fun and relaxed. It's one of those places you randomly find and then immediately want to gatekeep (but also tell everyone about). Truly such a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!

Came here after a night of activities in Sanford. The place is usually packed, but we were able to…read moreget a table for two, luckily. The ambiance is about half of what this place is all about. It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar. Dark and stormy tiki bar vibes. The service was super friendly, and the food and bev came out very timely. The drinks were great, and they had a really nice mocktail menu. You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.

As a tiki bar aficionado, Trader Sam's is the real deal. Besides the authentic atmosphere (with…read moreanimation, no less!), potent drinks and interesting history, the phenomenally entertaining staff bring the experience to the next level. Bonus for the cool tiki mugs you can buy and add to your collection (I still have my mom's tiki glasses from the 60s and 70s). Depending on what drink you order, they may lower the lights, turn on the volcano and start chanting. I'll be honest, as an introvert, this wasn't my jam the first time I visited, because we were seated at the bar and the bartenders chose me for one of the acts. But the last two times, we were seated at a table in the very back and I love to watch from my dark corner. My husband ordered a zombie and our waitress did a hilarious zombie act as she brought it over to him. It's just so fun. I ordered a pineapple drink that featured Dole Whip and I didn't love it because the consistency was reminiscent of a Slurpee rather than Dole Whip. I feel like drinks are a little hit or miss and some are strong AF so know what you're getting into. Other things to keep in mind: if there's just two of you and you're not sitting at the bar, you will share a table. I don't love this but it is what it is. One time the couple we were seated with was cool but this last time, I made the mistake of making a light political comment that was meant with stony silence... my bad, but I don't need to think about putting my foot in my mouth if I'm not seated with strangers. All good, though, because for half the time we had our four-top to ourselves. This place is great for groups if you're willing to wait. Use the My Disney Exp app to put your name on the waitlist.

But they could really improve in the food and the service. Food was just ok. Mahi Mahi was overcooked, wild rice tasted like industrialized food.

Anna was our server, and she didn't smile one single time. And it was a very rushed service, something hard when you have kids. Overall, I might come back to try again because of the beautiful view and live music. And with no expectations for the food.

It can still get rowdy, but not insane like other bars there. Rather than crafty-tiki, most of what they carry is focused on the main wall street customer and volume. They can still make certain tiki drinks, and they make them very well, but don't expect a large assortment of fresh tropical juice or 50 rums to pick from. Personally, I'm a fan of the house Rum Punch. It scratches the tropical urge at a fraction of the price of a traditional tiki spot! The staff is always friendly, especially Mark.
