Family trip near Jocassee and decided on Keowee today since it's been 30 years since I've been on the lake and wanted to take the family out. Not a whole lot of options on the pond (disappointing). Tracy was behind the bar and even when we switched tables she was our waitress. Unbelievable service. Quick with drinks and the food was very good. I had the Buffalo Tacos, wife had the hot dogs, kids got chicken fingers and a fish sandwich (huge). Plenty went back on the boat. Great place, but the server was as good as I've had in a long time. And her cookies were incredible and a fun treat. read more

We decided to try Keowee Shores Grill (Tiki Hut Lakeside Grill) after stopping at their marina gas station several times while out on the lake. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning lake views that are hard to beat. The food was average and didn't really stand out, and unfortunately the service was quite slow during our visit. While we understand that busy days happen, the staff made us feel more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests, which put a damper on the experience. That said, they do have a fantastic store with a great selection of cute shirts and lake-themed merchandise that is definitely worth checking out. We enjoyed browsing the shop and appreciated the convenience of the marina. Overall, the views and store were highlights, but the restaurant experience left room for improvement. read more

Great location right on the beautiful lake. But the great ended there. They said the hush puppies were a homemade batter, but they were really overcooked. The coconut shrimp were about as small as I've ever seen were only ok. The coleslaw had the least dressing I've ever had. read more

Beautiful location on the lake. I had the Double Smash Burger- with fries and an extra order of onion rings. Best ever! The Alabama sauce is a must to go with the onion rings.

Keowee Shores (formerly TIki Hut) has become a favorite! We have never once had a bad experience. Personal favorites are the burgers, crinkle fries, parmesan wings, and the chicken tenders. Beer and drink selection is great as well. Very excited to have this option on the south part of the lake! read more

Terrible service and extremely unprofessional and rude owner. No host available to seat us then after 15 minutes, told to sit anywhere when there were only dirty tables open. Waited over 30 min for a beer and nearly 2 hours for the food. Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

Great environment by the lake. They had live music when we went and it was a great time! The food was good both my husband and I loved our dinner. read more

Horrible service and kitchen was closed at 3:30 due to kitchen backup. It took over 30 minutes to get a beer. Staff was in no hurry to serve their customers. They literally walked around with empty trays. read more

Cute little restaurant right on Lake Keowee. Great spot to stop by if you've been on the boat all day or if you just want a good restaurant with a lake view. They typically have great live music on certain days. Small menu but everything I have tried so far is always great. Staff is always very friendly. Highly recommend the hushpuppies as an appetizer! Always makes for a great evening! read more

Service is unreliable. They either don't have enough servers or lack training. Food is ok. Great location and nice atmosphere.

Outdoor restaurant on Lake Keowee. Good spot to stop at, nothing fancy. Basic bar food and drinks. If you're expecting something fancy not the place to go. Live music on the weekends. Staff were friendly. It's worth giving them a try. read more

The Tiki Hut has the friendly bartenders and great drinks with a perfect lakefront atmosphere! Live music on the weekends makes this a fun scene! read more

Tiki Hut was a fun environment. All outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the lake. We got the lake cheeseburger, chicken tender basket, grilled chicken sandwich, wings, hush puppies, and chips and queso. The entree items were more equivalent to concession stand items but not bad and the chips and queso was okay. The wings and hush puppies however were AMAZING! The hush puppies had crawfish and pimento cheese in it and oh boy was it delicious. The wings were breaded and fried great and the sauce was very good. The service was mixed. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were nice and engaging but when it came time for the check the bartender insisted she remembered who had what. Not only were the checks completely wrong but then she charged the wrong card to the wrong ticket. Overall it was a good experience there was live music and really chicken wings lol. I give it 3.5 stars because the food was just okay with the exception of the wings and hush puppies . With mixed service. read more

Thought I would give them another try, since they are under new owners. I was actually their first customer when they reopened earlier this year. First, there was an extremely strong smell of fuel, assuming a spill from the dock or their tractor. Menu is very limited...see image. No music Bees all around the bar area...see image 5 staff members sitting at the bar, just hanging out. Corona and Corona Light are on the menu, but out of both. Had the burger, which was ok...see image Manager came out a bit later and staff got to work, music came on, etc. Based on limited dock space for those that live on the lake, still prefer Cabana and Lighthouse...far superior and even have dock hands to help you dock. read more

I went to the Tiki Hut in Seneca, SC on Thursday 8/31/23 with friends. There was only one server (besides the two people behind the bar) for the entire place. No sections were closed off, so people were sitting all over the restaurant. The server forgot our drink order, we never received them. We waited an hour for our food and it was stone cold when we got it. We got tired of waiting for the server to bring us our check, so I went to the cashier at the bar to pay. She said that there were margaritas on our check and I had to explain we never got the drinks. I told her we waited for an hour and that our food was cold. She shrugged her shoulders and didn't offer to compensate any amount. I also suggested that since there was only one server that they either close a section or two, or help run the food out so it didn't get cold. She again just shrugged her shoulders. It's a shame that this is the service there because it is lakeside, and has a great view. The food might be good, I don't really know. I won't go back. read more

Very disappointing experience overall. The beautiful view could not make up for the terrible service. First off, there was a sign at the entrance that said wait for hostess to be seated.... So of course we stood at front table ... for 10 minuets in the sun ... until a waitress passing by finally said "it's seat yourself". Once we made it to our table we waited over 40 minutes just to receive our waters. As far as food goes-the pretzel bite appetizer was way over cooked and tasted like dry rubber (and the other app we ordered never arrived). The rest of the meal was just low quality and some of our order was not even correct. If you're looking to spend money on dinner just simply go someplace else. This place was overpriced for the quantity and quality of food, and had the worst service I think I've ever had. read more

What a fun place! Solid craft beer selection, the blackened cod fish tacos with pineapple salsa were bomb and the views is are gorgeous...what more could you want?! Also, there are power outlets EVERYWHERE so you can take all the pictures you want without your phone dying! read more

Okay. It's been 9 years since my last review of the Tiki Hut. That says a lot. Today I was pleasantly surprised... after all these years... the Tiki is back baby!!! Better than ever! Delicious hot chicken wings! Great mixed drinks. Upgraded facilities. Long awaited. Finally it's back! Angie the bar manager is a rock star! Looking forward to many days here in 2021! read more

We were spending a week vacationing on lake Keowee and was looking for a casual spot for dinner but also wanted something more than burgers and chicken wings. I was pleasantly surprised by the menu and the quality of the food. The atmosphere is just like the name implies- no frills, casual, It's five o'clock somewhere vibe. They have a couple Caribbean influenced items on the menu along with typical bar offerings. The service was "relaxed" but this didn't seem an issue sitting outside on beautiful Lake Keowee with music playing and steady breeze blowing. I ordered the fajitas which are served in a pineapple and husband got the salmon and rice. Both entrees were reasonably priced, presented well, and surprisingly fresh and good flavors in both. I would definitely go back and take some friends or the kiddos for the atmosphere and the food. read more

Nice place out by the lake... It's a nice clean place with a lot of outdoor seating. Better than average lakeside bar... Food is on the better end of the bar food scale. Actually enjoyable rather than just hot and filling. Beer was perfectly fine too. On a nice summer's night this is a super place to visit, especially if you are coming by boat. read more

Another year of hoping it would improve! Nope! Terrible service, mediocre at best food and for the love of god get rid of the fricken bees!!! read more

Went here last night and was so disappointed. As soon as we arrived the hostess immediately said she hoped it rained so she could leave early. Yikes. The coconut shrimp basket was awful. All the breading fell off the shrimp because it was drenched a sticky sauce. We didn't finish it because it was so poorly thought out. The cocktails should be actual tiki drinks instead of variations of grenadine, vodka and orange juice. I asked for a typical tiki drink (pain killer) and got a screwdriver instead. Just need to improve their menu. The ambiance was fine. Our waitress was fine, she comped our drink and even got us an umbrella when it rained. Just need to tell the kitchen to tighten up and work on the drink selection. Won't be returning or recommending. read more

Food really sucks big time! All greasy and deep fry food which is really bad!! Stay away!!!

Went there this evening... well we tried to eat but we're refused food service at 8:19 when they close at 9. I said "don't you all close and 9?" She then hesitated and said "oh well the bar does." Was excited to enjoy a quick dinner on the lake but was highly disappointed. read more

Came on a Saturday night with great weather. Place was packed. Had a long wait but was worth it. Great band playing and the food was delicious even with the kitchen backed up. Will definitely be back. Just have patience and enjoy the night. read more

Good to see the TikiHut back in full swing. Bar staff was attentive, beer selection is adequate (please don't run out of Yuengling on your first weekend), and vibes were good. Nice upgrades throughout - clear evidence the ownership change last year was for the better! We need this business to be successful so let's visit often and tip well!! read more

The best bar in seneca with amazing service! Shoutout Sarah for reopening for my family and I tonight

We live on the lake and the only way we would return to the Tiki Hut is if Gordon Ramsey trained them! We went for lunch today, 8/3/18, to give them a chance after they changed management, as our visit last September 2017 was horrendous. Terrible food and cocktails, in which the manager tasted and agreed. Today our party ordered lime shrimp tacos x 2, a burger and chicken tenders. The shrimp tacos were laughable and gross. One order had a green/brown squeeze of unidentifiable substance at the taco end that literally looked and tasted disgusting. There were 5 tiny popcorn shrimp buried under a can of pineapple with juice soaked tortillas. The waitress took them back, told the kitchen, came back for our order but first told us the many items complain about. So my husband ordered a burger and I was didn't order.. The burger was just meh at best. It is so unfortunate that the Tiki Hut cannot get quality "consistently great food". They occupy prime real estate and have terrible food, so disappointing. Go elsewhere! read more

Really nice meal! Above average bar food (we had burgers, grilled chicken and fried grouper sandwiches) and service was great and fast. And really nice setting and views. Brought us a bucket of water for our dog. read more

Stopped by the tiki hut for lunch and what a pleasant surprise. Had the taco salad with grilled chicken that was so tender and juicy and seasoned just right I didn't even use the dressing! Plus who can resist fresh cilantro?! Then the bar tender used freshly squeezed oranges for my screwdriver! It was a perfect day by the lake today! Very impressed and will be back! read more

Would leave a 0 if I could. Showed up to the tiki hut tonight at 7:45 for dinner with friends (a party of 7) The sign outside the tiki hut said. Sundays 11:00-9. Once again we showed up at 7:45. We were told they could not take us because the kitchen closed at 8. But their hours of operation said they closed at 9. Another party of 4 was turned away as well. As we were pulling out on our boat 2 other boats pulled up to go eat there as well. We told them they would be turned away. Missed opportunity to make and keep business. This is a sorry way to run a business. We live on lake keowee and will not attempt to go there again. We will go to the Cabana next time. read more
