The Tiki Tavern - Menu

Fantastic service, tasty food, and amazing live music! I can't believe that despite all our visits to Safety Harbor, we had never discovered this little gem before. I'm already eager to return!

The restaurant featured a guitarist who was playing at such a high volume that we couldn't hear each other speak. The server was managing everything on her own, despite the restaurant being full. She was friendly, but it was evident that she was overwhelmed.

The place seemed nice overall. Just make sure to arrive before 9:52 PM, as that's when they announce "last call for food." We visited a lovely Applebee's. I’m a fan of small, family-run restaurants, but I dislike misleading advertisements. You can enjoy drinks until 11 PM, but you'll only be able to order food until 9:52 PM. View menu

Was able to get seated our food in just before the kitchen closed. The waitress we had was awesome. (Wish I could remember her name) but food was great, we had a grouper sandwich, Caesar salad, conch fritters, chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. Beer on tap was cold and refreshing. Definitely a great place to check out if your in the Safety Harbor area.

I was really looking forward to the rice bowl, but unfortunately they were out of a lot of their items when we were there. I feel bad for their staff too. It seemed like they were trying their best, but are short staffed. The food and drinks that wewere able to get were great. If it was a better experience and full menu I would've given 5 stars. This place has a ton ofpotential.

Every time there's an event in Safety Harbor, I notice empty cups scattered along the streets. Why does your business provide plastic cups to your customers while seemingly disregarding where those takeaway cups end up? Don't you care about the community? If you disagree with my concerns, why not put your company name on every cup you distribute? That would certainly clear up any misunderstandings! View menu

The ambiance leans a bit tiki, but it mostly feels like a sports bar. The service was prompt, the drinks were excellent, and the food was delicious. I visited on a Sunday afternoon when it was packed with people watching the baseball game on the TVs. I tried the Main St Mai Tai, as well as another rum tiki drink from the menu, and both were very enjoyable. The spam sliders were fresh and flavorful. While I had a good experience, I’m not sure I’ll return since I typically prefer a quieter place to enjoy my drinks.

Stopped in to the Tiki Tavern for Safety Harbors Restautant Week. I chose the prix fixe menu for $22. My selection was Coconut Shrimp, Short Ribs and Beignets. Tiki's version, unlike other places, was to cut serving sizes in half for the special rate. Thecoconut shrimp were the smallest I've ever seen or had but tasted good. Their short rib was tasty and the chorizo grit cake itwas on was good. The beignets were coated in cinnamon sugar and were doughy and 2 of 3 undercooked. It is mostly a bar vibe,kind of dark inside. There is an outside bar area that is nice but hot. It will be better once temperatures cool.
