    Old bar sitting in new bar
    Gina A.

    Super convenient location along the beach. They have an old bar area, a new bar area with seating for dining as well, and an outside area on the beach. Lots of options for seating. Menu is varied and typical bar food. We only went in for drinks. They have some specialty drinks that are on point with the beach vibe and their theme. Ordered the Shark Bite and Turtle Juice. Both were good. They did have live music the night that we went and they were good (Gage Saylor and the Creekside Boys). This is a typical beach bar. All employees are super friendly and helpful.

    We decided to try this place out today. The outdoor seating has a beautiful view of the beach. Our server took over 5 minutes to get to us, however she was super friendly and took great care of us throughout our service. I ordered the crab cake sandwich and we also got the fish tacos. The crab cake sandwich was delicious. It was definitely made in house. The actual cake itself was a bit small for the bun size. The slaw and sauce really complimented the crab cake. The chips were nothing special. The shrimp tacos were also well portioned and served with basic chips. Overall it was nice experience. I am not sure I would come back, but glad we got to stop by.

    Fish tacos!

    Staff definitely made good recommendations when it came to food! Loved their fish tacos which was flounder.... Glad Ariel wasn't around. (Bad Disney reference lol) Definitely a beach themed restaurant. They have an outdoor bar area which is right on the sand. Took our kids to the beach while we waited for our food.... Which was a good distraction for them lol. Not a sandy person? Don't worry they have an indoor bar too Plenty of parking available and they have separate men/ women bathrooms as well. Oh! They also have an arcade area for the older kids.

    My favorite restaurant on the island. Good food, service and atmosphere. We always hit the Lazy Turtle and all of us are pleased with the food.

    Manager aiming to please!

    Laidback beach vibe with friendly waitstaff. Basic bar grub but generous portions and fairly priced. Very dog-friendly.

    Is there open mic? If so, when?

    Open Mic sometimes on Sunday afternoon. Otherwise karaoke most Friday night's 8 till 12.

    How's karaoke on Friday night?!

    I go every Friday night. We have some great local voices and plenty of room to dance. Sing if that is your ability.

    When is the karaoke?

    How late do you serve food? When do you close your grill? Do you have a late night menu?

    Depends on business and time of the year but if our doors are open we will cook you some thing . So usually at least till 930 pm and as late as midnight

    If you're looking for one of those places where everything just lines up--the weather, the food,…read morethe mood--this is it. Out on the pier at Tiki Bar & Ocean Grill, you've got a front-row seat to the Atlantic, and on a day like today, it doesn't get much better. Blue sky, sun hitting the water just right, and a breeze that reminds you why people have been coming to the coast long before fancy resorts showed up. Food Simple answer: they've got it dialed in. Fresh, well-prepared, and exactly what you want at the beach. No overthinking it--just good coastal food done right. That's how it's supposed to be. Service Friendly, easygoing, and attentive without hovering. The kind of service that makes you feel welcome but doesn't interrupt your view--or your drink. Atmosphere This is where they really win. Sitting out over the water with string lights overhead and waves rolling in? That's hard to beat anywhere. Now, yes--the beach itself has those big metal pipes running through for replenishment. Not exactly postcard material. But here's the truth: once you're up on that pier, looking out over the ocean, it barely matters. The view still does what it's supposed to do--makes you slow down and stay a while. Final Take Great food, solid service, and a view that carries the whole experience. Even with the beach work going on, this place delivers what a coastal spot should: good eats, cold drinks, and a reason to sit a little longer than you planned. If the weather's right, don't overthink it--grab a seat, order something simple, and enjoy it the way folks have been doing for generations.
