    Shrimp Basket, Grilled with Tarpon Aioli and slaw

    After a great bike ride we were hungry for lunch ad the Tipsy Tarpon delivered! Refreshing beverages, great views, good and friendly service that provided a five star lunch! Looking forward to our next visit!

    Fun place to grab a bite to eat after a day out on the water. Food was delish. Drinks were cold and refreshing. Service was great. Love the live music they have. The views of the water is beautiful.

    Tipsy Tarpon has a great location with quick and friendly service! Sat outside on Tiki's and enjoyed the view! Tried the Redfish and Mahi baskets! This place has plenty of seating and area to lounge and socialize with friends. They were setting up for live music on a Saturday around noon.

    Family gathering. Table by the water.

    Awesome atmosphere!! I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem. Sat at an outdoor table in the sand and listened to live music. It was a whole vibe! Beer was cold and food was amazing. Definitely don't sleep on this place.

    Great service so far. We are about to order food.

    I met a friend here to catch up amd hang out. The location isnperfect! Fun relaxed atmosphere on the water. The food was your typical bar food nothing outstanding but it served it's purpose. Drinks were reasonably priced. The service was mediocre at best, some of the bartenders were more concerned with their cellphones than getting our order correct. To meet up with my friend I would come to the area again but would probably check out a few other places nearby first.

    Don't order here
    Dwaine C.

    We have come here many times for drinks. Don't order at the bar where it says order here. They never come there at all. We go to the side of the bar and have to wave to get service. After waiting some servers are friendly. Some servers won't even acknowledge you. This is a beautiful place for food and drinks but management needs a tune up.

    Redfish tacos
    Casey ..

    The food was very good a served to us quickly. The blackened redfish was very tasty and a great value for the price. My stepson ordered a shrimp salad and it came with a TON of shrimp. Very delicious also. We loved sitting outside under the tiki hut. It felt like a real beach!

    Enjoying the afternoon with my beautiful girlfriend.

    We went a couple of weeks ago. The music was jamming'. The drinks were not too bad. It is a great place to sit and chill.

    Add a fantastic tiki bar ambiance on the beach to really good fried shrimp, and this place should be on your list to try.

    Nice venue but the service and food is terrible. Can't believe someone would build such a cool place and run it so poorly. It's a shame!

    Was super excited to find that Ocala now has a legit real tiki bar. Amazing cocktails and amazing…read moreatmosphere. Definitely coming back next trip to Ocala

    Another review I swore I wrote years ago! It took us a while before we made it here when we first…read moremoved to the area. It was super busy when we went our first time and it was not during happy hour on several occasions we have visited. We live close and visited here a bunch the first 2 years we moved to Ocala and have visited less and less since then. There have been several occasions we have stood at the bar waiting not only to be greeted but also waited very long times to receive our drinks. In their defense, many times the bartenders were busy attending to patrons or making drinks. However, there were several times some bartenders were just talking to friends or messing around. The drinks here are super detailed so they take some time and TLC. I will say, most times our drinks taste delicious and the presentations are magnificent! The decor is so cozy and the ambiance is consistent. Hubs and I absolutely love Tiki themed bars and fell in love with Hawaii after our visit years ago so this place is perfect for us. We also like this place because they are open later than most places in town. We recently visited for a nightcap and it was definitely different. I recently had referred someone here because she was looking for Hawaii themed food (they used to serve food) and she informed me they did not serve food. That sucks because we always meant to try it but never did. Looked good. When we recently visited, they did not have physical menus and were referred to QR code cards on the bar. Our bartender was attentive and helpful with choosing a drink during our recent visit. He actually went out of his way to make the orange peel twist in a perfect manner. I appreciated that! I was going to suggest to hubs we have another drink and then a roach crawled across the bar. I discreetly informed the bartender of the dead roach I killed when we closed out and he took it away. Usually this place is clean and tidy so I was surprised to witness the roach. They do have seating outside as well but we usually sit inside to listen to the themed music.
