Aloha Waycaster Tiki! What a complete treasure located in the heart of South Lyon! From the moment you walk through the doors you are transported to island time! One has to truly experience this place to understand the unique features this tiki bar has to offer from the decor to the drinks. There are so many creative cocktails. The owner suggested I try the mojito because I said that I love them and he said well you haven't tried ours! I was BLOWN AWAY! The Best mojito I've ever had. They do offer small bites on the menu, which I will come back to try. The staff are fantastic and they even have live music throughout the month. Waycaster Tiki is a hidden gem and most certainly worth a trip.

Loved this place!! We greeted at the door by the server. We went during the day so when you walk in it's super dark and takes a few minutes to tues for your eyes to adjust. It has such a cool vibe insides. It's on the small side but there's a decent amount of tables and chairs available. The decor is very authentic. Our server was very nice and accommodating. I get the jungle bird which came in a glass shaped like a bird. It was good!! My husband got the old fashioned which had an island twist and he really enjoyed! 5/5 can't wait to go back.

Michael is the perfect host, hands down! I honestly don't think you'll find a more authentic Tiki bar experience anywhere else in Michigan.

We were both out early yesterday, and stopped here for a drink by the water…read more This place has been around for a number of years, and has a porch that actually sits over the water on Walled Lake. We ordered the chicken nachos and a couple of drinks, and enjoyed the view. This is a come as you are place, and has pretty good food from what I could see. I'll be back to work my way around their menu! Service was ok, but he was training someone, which is normally distracting. We understood, everybody has to learn. Great view and always busy!

The nachos were gross if I could give them zero stars I would. The meat was bland, the cheese…read moretasted like chemicals and guacamole was turning but it tasted like they were trying to save it with tons of lime. Chips- not good. I wouldn't send these to my worst enemy. I'm not sure how someone can make nachos taste terrible. Sad. Save your money cook nachos at home ! My BF had the perch dinner and said it would be an 8 out of 10 stars. We sat at the bar- it was fine - we watched some sports. There were quite a few drunks being loud. Manny was the bartender - he was working the rail and also people at tables. He seemed to know everyone . He wasn't overly nice but he wasn't bad. The vibe was sort of like a basement bar - we sat to the right of the front door. I like $4 bottle beers I would try this place again in the warmer months for a beer but I really have zero desire to ever eat here again.

Fun spot attached to Tigerlilly in Ferndale. I think it's meant as a speakeasy, but the "secret"…read moredoor is always open and you can just sort of walk in ask to be seated there. And just like the name suggests, it's a tiki themed joint with rum forward drinks in fun cups. They have a nice cocktail menu with some variety so you're not stuck with tiki drinks if that's not your thing. The menu is the same as Tigerlilly, so you're getting great food and good drinks.

Every recommendation they gave us was excellent, but honestly everything we saw on the menu or walk by looked incredible. I had the sticky shrimp bao buns, edamame, pork belly ramen, the dragon roll, and the spicy tuna roll (shared b/c it's a lot of food. lol). Every dish was packed with flavor. The bao buns were amazing, the pork belly ramen was rich and comforting and such a large portion, and both sushi rolls were super fresh and really well done. One of the coolest parts is that it's a hidden speakeasy space connected to Tiger Lilly. You get the same incredible food menu but with even more drink options, which makes the experience even better. If you're going with friends and want to share a bunch of different things, this is the perfect place to do it. Everything we ordered was fantastic and it made for such a fun dinner.
