Tiki Bar And Grille

Awesome hidden gem. Good beers. Simple menu but each item is prepared well and priced reasonably. Service is great. In summer the have live music which only adds to the experience. View is great. Fish tacos are consistently good. Great local spot and I was hesitant to write this review because I don’t really want the secret getting out!

place is nice, hotel is nice food is ok, drinks r great

This is truly a hidden gem on the Jersey Shore! My wedding guests stayed at the Beachwalk and we had our after party at the Tiki Bar. LB, the manager, was so much fun to work with, and beyond accommodating. My family is still talking about the tiki bar and the after party (and the wedding too!). The food at the tiki bar is great, service is excellent, and the vibe is just so much fun! I don’t want to tell people about it, because I want to keep it for myself, but they were just took good. We had a breakfast at the tiki bar the morning after the wedding too. Everything was perfect! LB, you are amazing! Thank you so much!

Setting is great, but I guess by the mapped location, anyone would assume that.
The food was good. I only ordered fish tacos. Beer battered cod with pico de gallo (seasoned chopped tomatoes and cilantro) and red cabbage. I happen to like red cabbage so it was cool. Some people find it bitter. There were 3 tacos for $ 9.95– one more than a local Mexican place I go to eat the same thing. The fish did not taste greasy, and the outside was crisp. The tacos were made with flour tortillas.
The rum punch was $ 9! Oh my gosh. But it was good.
I’ll suggest this on date night. Although– on second thought– I’ll have to say date afternoon. When I got here there were 2 open tables, understanding that I was a party of one, the hostess said over an hour for a table. I guess she didn’t want me taking up space. It’s okay, I understand I guess. Although there were people (two parties of 3, that walked in off the street, past the hostess, and sat right down) in retrospect, I’ll ignore her too I guess. Anyway– I sat inside, doors opened, but in the air conditioning
It’s all good I’d go back. :)

Ate breakfast here one morning while staying at the hotel. It was beautiful looking over the Navesink in the morning. A great way to start the day. The service was slow, however there was only one person working. Not a big deal, as we were in no rush. The portions were just the right size, upon first getting our meals it was surprising, due to many breakfast places to jam the plates. That is certainly not the case here, you get just a little amount of everything to leave you feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Very low key, as there were plastic plates and silverware. Nothing fancy, but it was nice not having to get in the car in the morning.

Beautiful setting, but it was overwhelmed by the mediocre food and abysmal service. Several in my party were finished with their meals before others’ appetizers arrived. There was not enough wait staff to service the crowd on a Thursday night with only ½ of the tables occupied. The kitchen was small and hopelessly overwhelmed. After the sun set, there was no light in the Tiki Bar– none. We couldn’t see our food or drink. Finally the server brought a fluorescent lamp that one would find in a camper’s tent. The white fluorescent was overwhelming and destroyed the Tiki ambience. I’m unlikely to ever return. Too bad, because the potential, if run properly, is huge.

Best sunset view anywhere Beautiful breeze, sights and sounds of the breathtaking confluence of the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers. NOT a Craft beer in the place!!! (and no– I don’t consider Sam summer or Lemon shandy a craft)

This could have been a great review. We got some beers, we were waiting to be seated. I specifically asked for a table by the water. It wasn’t this amazing feat, since it wasn’t that packed and we were next on the list. Our estimated time to be seated was 15 – 20 min. No problem! Tables open up everywhere on the deck near to the water, we don’t make a fuss because we’re enjoying our beers and these tables aren’t right next to water. Within 30 min, a table by the water opens up. Great, here we go! Nope. Ten minutes goes by and 4 people pull chairs from the bar and squeeze into the very little space by the table that should have been ours. When I approached the hostesses she said «oh ok, you can sit there now» and starts pulling the table away from the water front. I was pissed. I said, «We specifically wanted the table by the water.» She accommodated these people who JUST WALKED IN AND GRABBED CHAIRS FROM THE INSIDE BAR! She then moved the table back toward the water, but a few inches, again, accommodating these other people to allow them to have their pub chairs at the water. I said, «No, we are leaving.» I don’t like bringing out the nasty, but I was damn heated, and therefore, here is the review of it.

Had a blast. staff is friendly & attentive.
Beautiful, scenic view… great drinks, good food.

Gorgeous view. That is IT. If this establishment were anywhere else, NO ONE would go here. There’s not one thing «tiki bar» about this «tiki bar». The food is as ridiculous as the glaring blue LED table lights. How do you own property with such a beautiful location & so much potential yet serve food at the level of a prison cafeteria? Hire an interior designer and replace the fryer with a real chef. There’s already a glut of pedestrian & carny fried food in this area.

Great views, great vibes. Relaxed and easy going. Food is pleasant and a great price! The staff is friendly and easy going. Such an awesome spot.

Are you kidding me with 2 reviews! Tiki bar is amazing, it’s literally the hidden jem in the sea bright area. Kim, Steve and Justin the bar tenders kick ass!!! I came here with some friend for some drinks and left feeling like a million bucks, everyone was so accommodating and friendly. If you haven’t been to tiki bar you haven’t experienced what the Jersey Shore is all about. Trust me, I don’t work there I’m just a guy who had a great time and I’m excited to say it.

This is a hidden gem behind the Beachwalk Motel (formerly Fairbanks). They have a great outdoor deck that overlooks the Navisink and Shrewsbury rivers. Friday and Saturdays in the summer they have bands. We were there when Strictly 60s played and thought they were great.
We ordered the Tuna Bites as an app and they were awesome. Perfectly cooked and portioned for about $ 8. The husband had a Turkey burger with chips, good and juicy for $ 8 and I had a BLT also with chips. $ 4 bud light limes and a $ 8 Long Island Ice Tea made this a great stop on the way home. We will return for happy hour 3 – 6 daily another time.
For those of you boaters there is a «Dock N Dine» option.
