We have driven past what seems to be an exciting restaurant many times and we were looking forward to trying out somewhere new with our friends. Upon pulling in there is plenty of parking which was nice. Walking up it had a nice riverside vibe. We had to wait about 15 mins which was understandable for lunchtime. We got seated outside and greeted by our server promptly. That's probably where the promptness ends... We ordered some drinks which took a bit longer than you would expect for margaritas and our watermelon appetizer seemed to be forgotten about. The wings were not forgotten, the grilled wings were the highlight of our experience. Great flavor and very juicy. 3 of us ordered the grouper sandwich and one of them was suppose to come the garlic aioli on the side... it didn't and took another 25 minutes to get a new sandwich out. I love cooking fish because it doesn't take any time to cook. Overall the grouper sandwiches were average at best. If you're looking for a good fish sandwich try Circles in Apollo beach. Overall the idea of this place is something you would imagine seeing at Universal City Walk or Disney Springs with a touch of margarita-ville. Love the idea but the execution leaves something to be desired. read more

Finally got to try this place out lastnight - we did a little family dinner on the patio. First impression is the ambience really takes over. I always enjoy a place to drink that gives off a festive vibe. Staff was very warm and attentive, our server was great (did not catch her name) and overall I felt good about eating out for our first time since covid began. My husband got the dock sandwhich with burger + pork belly, he said it was just okay, the flavors were meant to be a little Korean twist with the gochujang sauce but said it just felt slapped together. I got the fish + chips which were delightful, light and crispy. The main thing that jumped out at me was the portion, holy cow - my meal was GIGANTIC. My husbands however was not and he was still hungry when we got home. Our drinks were the stars, I got the mango margarita and husband got the watermelon whiskey. Overall I'd say the food was just average, a bit overpriced even but if you're looking for a nice spot to have a cold one, I'd definitely recommend for the outdoor decks and view alone! read more

Tiki Docks Riverview - Fish and chips. - Salad Near Me - Riverview, Florida

I finally made it here after months of waiting for the crowd to get their fix. I came here on a Sunday because I had such a craving for a spicy Bloody Mary. I checked the menu out on line beforehand and saw they had what they called The Crabby Mary. Sounded good. As we pulled up, we didn't have any problems finding a parking spot. We walked right in and out to the outdoor bar area and sat down. Our bartender greeted us and right away, and before she could introduce herself, I ordered their Crabby Mary. Now, one thing I was kind of iffy on, was that they put lump crab meat in their Bloody Mary. Now, when I got this, it looked so good. It literally failed all of my expectations. They should definitely NOT put crab meat in their drink. This was really gross and made the drink even taste weird. The last thing I want to do is suck up a bunch of crab meat in my straw. Ewe. So, needless to say, I would never order this special drink of theirs again. Onto the food. We had the Ceviche for starters. Hmm, I wish I would have liked this, but it was disappointing. Portion size was small for the price and the taste was lacking that citrus flavor that Ceviche is supposed to have. I ordered the beer steamed Peel n' Eat Old Bay Gulf Shrimp. They were pretty good size, just enough spice, and hit the spot for me. My friend ordered the Crabby Wings, but said that the next time he comes, he would try their Tiki Wings. All in all, I would definitely come back. The back patio area was a good size that had plenty of tables to accommodate many patrons, as was the seating in the bar area. The menu had a lot to offer and they have many specialty drinks. This place is worth a visit. read more

Tiki Docks Riverview - crab cakes - Salad Near Me - Riverview, Florida

I'd have to say it's a nice place.. from the street. We arrived and were cheerfully greeted by several hostess asking us where we wanted to sit. One walked us to our table and seated us. The server came over and greeted us asked about drinks. I ordered a Margarita and my wife just a unsweetened tea. The margarita was average and definitely not worth 9.99, we ordered 2 appetizers, shrimp ceviche for 12.99 and raw oysters for 23.48. The ceviche was very small and the oysters were good but they gave us 8 crackers for a dozen oysters. I ordered a grouper sandwich and my wife ordered a Hawaiian BLT. Both were ok at best. The grouper sandwich had several large bones in it but was seasoned very well. The BLT was ok. I'd definitely give them another chance. The bill was right at 90 dollars. The entire experience was rushed from the beginning. read more

First timers ... waited an hour for an inside table only to be escorted to an outside table (hostess station needs tending to) .. ended up eating at the inside bar ... Awesome bartenders Becca and Marlie provided great customer service and turned our "thumbs down" experience into a "2 thumbs up" experience ... food was great too! We will be back! read more

The staff seemed agitated and self involved. The bartender looked up from their phone long enough to make a drink. The food is a bit overpriced. Drinks are overpriced. The live music is hit or miss. Better food and atmosphere on the river to be had. Unless you drown when it rains. read more

Checked this place out on a Sunday afternoon. We were celebrating our friends wedding anniversary. Our server was great! The food was good but to me there just wasn't enough for the price. Myself and other friends with me actually ordered additional meals to share. I had the ribs. I loved the sauce it was in. The rib portion was perfect it was just the side and other meals that people received at the table. I will give them another try to see if portion sizes get better with time. Drinks were good too. read more

This place is huge with lots of seating and a fun atmosphere. The service was good and the food was as expected. Not fabulous but it only makes sense. It's more of a bar and grill style restaurant for large gatherings or family fun. I hope they do well and we would definitely go back if in the area. read more

Fish and fries were great I honestly have never had better fish and I just started liking seafood about 4years ago will be back for more !

I live in Orlando but visited my parents that live locally and my mom has been hyping this place up since she heard it opened. We visited and wow was this place packed. It took two hours to get seated, which isn't a bad thing but I was deff shocked. The building itself is very beautiful and it's right on the water. When we finally got seated the food comes very quickly. Our server was very friendly and helpful. My mom ordered the grouper sandwich and I got a fried fish sandwich and a drink. We both really enjoyed our entrees. We also ordered shrimp and fries and another fish sandwich to go for my dad and sister at home. They both enjoyed their entrees. Although we enjoyed everything, I will probably wait a little while to visit, the line was just wayyy too long read more

This is such a great spot stopped in here randomly on a week night and had about a 30 min wait. Ordered an alcoholic beverage and it was nice and strong. The ambiance was awesome. Ordered the shrimp platter and it was terrific would definitely reccomend. I cant wait to return and try more items off the menu. read more

I have now been here three times in the last month and today was the best visit ever! I once again got the fish dip and crab cake's appetizer and loved both but today Bridget was our server and she was the best ever! Will be back again soon! read more

We should have known better, but hey, you've got to try all the restaurants eventually... Anyhow, if you're looking for a bar scene, beer, and some bar-quality food, you probably won't be terribly disappointed. In our case, we actually enjoy good food. The atmosphere was fine for a bar. Staff was friendly. I can't say the service was exceptional though, we did order crabcakes, and those never came. Also, our server was perhaps a little too friendly, leaning in close over our table without wearing a mask, touching things on our table... Still a little uncomfortable with that, given that Covid is still a risk. As for the food: I ordered the taco trio, grouper, cod, shrimp. The tortillas were fat and bready, the cod was kind of fishy and not fresh, everything was supposed to be blackened but I found it all bland. The mango salsa would be good if they added some jalapeños to it. My wife ordered the grouper on coconut lime rice. The rice was definitely the highlight. The grouper was also bland, and definitely overcooked, dry. They did have a modest but decent beer selection. I got a West Coast IPA, my wife got a Three Daughters Blonde. Disappointing, but I guess we weren't too surprised. Won't be going back though. read more

I've been here a few times since they opened. Not one of my favorite food spots but definitely a cool hang out. The food is just ok, the drinks are also ok but I love the look of the restaurant and that it's by the water. Plus the Riverview area needs cool spots to hang out. The staff is friendly but nothing that stands out. Overall there's room for improvement. read more

Huge thanks to Shanda, great customer service, smile, and sense of humor. Couldn't ask for any better.

Great atmosphere, tables were spread out to allow everyone to be comfortable. We sat right away outside as requested. Server greeted us and got our first round. Food came out quickly but I had rice which I had replaced with potatoes, no big deal steak was delicious and well cooked. Server didn't return as we needed salt and pepper and another round but couldn't get her attention. Paid bill then went to the bar, what a great move bartenders were great, friendly and fun. We will be back but might sit at the bar next time read more

With much anticipation the Tiki docks Is open! They have more than exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is like a margaritaville with a local vibe. The menus offers a variety of items that I believe. Will meet both land lovers and the person looking for something different. They are still working out being a new establishment but the service made it seem like they have been working together for years. read more

Worst service ever! Even at the bar. Plan to stay 2 hours. We waited during a tome that was not busy. Terrible.

Love all the bartenders at tiki (we only sit at the bar) but especially Makaylah She is just the best. Ok Nick and Becca we love you too! Just a friendly professional bunch who make awesome drinks and are great servers. Unfortunately the mangers with exception of Christine and Brandi (who is no longer there...miss you Brandi!) are not as welcoming nor does it seem they support their staff. read more

Overpriced, and over salted,. Server knowledge and customer service could also use improvement. Our visit was ultimately underwhelming..

I NEVER EVER write reviews. EVER. But I felt I had to here in hopes of impacting change at the very least. I have been to this location half a dozen times. Food is good. Service is average. Location and price point are good. So I come back. This Sunday I invited a friend to meet me for dinner and we sat at the bar. It was her first time and since I suggested where I felt personally responsible for the evening. Two bartenders. - one female ignored us THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE THERE. She took our food order and got it wrong. I was crystal clear on what I wanted and she simply did not seem to care. So my salad came out exactly how I said I DID NOT WANT IT. It's not rocket science. Nic, the other bartender, tried to help but he was busy actually working. The female bartender, Sarah I think, acted like it was my fault I didn't like the food she gave me and never - and I mean never - waited on us for the remaining 3 hours we were there. The saving grace was a tall manager I think his name was Erik. Came over and apologized for the salad and I saw him go to the kitchen and make it himself - the correct way after speaking with me - and delivered it quickly. He checked back on us a few times and we both could tell how much HE cared about the business. Sadly, he didn't see anyone else who cared even a little. Two other 'managers' were standing by the hostess station talking to each other for most of our time there Only Erik was interactive. I actually had to stop him with his hands full of dishes to ask him to stop back when he could. He came back and we asked him for another round of drinks - and no bartender even said BOO to us. It was a Sunday late afternoon. IT WASNT BUSY. I MEAN COME ON !!! The salad I did get that was correct was good. We had draft and canned beer so no cocktails. Nic was pleasant and hard working. Erik deserved 100% of our tip. Sarah and the other staff need to be managed better. I was embarrassed On the way out we stopped at the hostess station to thank the manager and the manager that was standing around tried to engage us. On our way out. We asked to speak to Erik and he came out from uh kitchen and apologized to us again and made us feel like we were not wrong for being disappointed. That saved the experience for me and my friend - and we will return. It's a beautiful space. We just hope that the staff actually starts to care about the customer read more

This was our third visit to this restaurant and I have to say I thought I would never go back after the last two times because the food in the service was horrible. Yesterday our experience with our server, Ashley and being able to see what goes on in an open kitchen and seeing a manager constantly wiping down and cleaning as the food was being prepared and transferred through the window, I couldn't say anything more than it was a great experience. Keep up the great job Ashley the server that waited on us is very professional as we move from outside to inside because of the weather and she never changed her mood. She was very accommodating. We were a table of six with all different needs, and she never made anything a problem. I did approach the front desk to find out who the manager was to speak to and I do believe she was a regional, but her name was Amanda and she was the one that was doing all this wiping down in the kitchen. It was really nice to see someone taking pride in their job. We will be back for sure. read more

We read the reviews on this place and we're a little hesitant to try it because gave it a chance and we were not disappointed at all. The service, the food and the atmosphere were great. We had the pork nachos and they were delicious. A sure repeat. read more

Giving this three stars purely for the Rum Punch and the gorgeous views and atmosphere. The food was pretty mediocre, it sounds amazing on the menu but to be honest it was all pretty bland. We got the spicy crab cakes and they were swimming in mayo sauce, but had the best flavor out of everything we ordered. I got the grouper sandwich, which had zero salt on it (no salt=no flavor) and the fries are just plain crinkle fries with zero seasoning. My hubby got a burger that promised pork belly and gochuchang Korean sauce and the pork belly was pale and flabby and there was barely a hint of sauce. Our daughter got the fish sticks and while the seasoning was cool, like herby, they once again forgot to use any salt and it just had no flavor. I'd come again for the drinks and views because it was that good. Overall though it was pretty pricey for just mehhh quality. read more

Great ambiance. The Pina colada is decent but the food is mediocre at best. The coconut shrimp is ok, juicy shrimp but nothing special, I wouldn't order it again. The burger is unseasoned & bland. Fries taste like frozen ones. Some of the food pairings are weird & the presentation is very school cafeteria feeling. I wouldn't return unless just for drinks & to MAYBE try their appetizers. read more

We have been trying to get in this establishment every since they opened a few months ago.They stay slammed & packed.We finally went as soon as they opened on a week day.I ordered the crab cakes which i wasn't to impressed with because they looked liked pancakes but they were good just they mashed them down to much & I like mine thick & round. They have delicious crinkle fries & he ordered the gigantic fish sandwich & this thing is enormous it looked like a sub.The customer service was excellent & our server was excellent...I forgot his name. This is a nice place & i will definitely be back to explore the menu & drinks. read more
