The Beach Tiki Bar & Boil

My personal waiter was very good. However the hostess was trash. She started our visit off with giving bad seating and unwilling to find other suitable seating. I wanted the manager but she blocked that. She was a nasty piece of work. My grandgirls 👧 and I enjoyed the view and each others company after a day at the beach. This had a beautiful atmosphere despite the social climate, we had a great experience.

All is pretty good here except overpriced on the steak bites (appetizer) pieces of steak and for 18 bucks. They did bring me 4 more piece of steak bites to try and make it better. The lunch special Rueben sandwich with a bowl of soup was good. My friend ordered wings and got all leg's only one flat. She was disappointed until they brought her 4 extra flats to remedy the problem.

This place is a vibe. It was nice eating off the water. Just know that if you eat outside, you'll be directly in the sun. Although they have umbrellas at each table, they dont open them. The food, drinks, and atmosphere makes you forget about that.

Great choice of seafood and sandwiches... always plenty of food for hearty appetites! Great atmosphere outside by the lake or inside at the bar to watch a game. Nice selection of Michigan craft beers, too!

I absolutely loved this place. What a great spot with incredible lake views. Service was over the top great and Meahan provided a truly elevated experience! Checking on me at all the right times with excellent repartee! I the half sandwich with soup! The gumbo was very flavorful and the half BLT had more bacon than anyone should ever expect! Food with 1 beer was well under $20 which I consider an excellent value even without the lake view and incredible service!!

Great, great seafood available at The Beach Tiki Bar! Wide variety of seafood to choose from, I personally recommend fried shrimp, and lots of drinks to wet your whistle! Located on Walled Lake, this picturesque restaurant offers fantastic views at night! The Beach can get a little rowdy at times and the atmosphere reflects that, but overall it's a nice experience! Stroll on down to The Beach Tiki Bar & Boil today!

Third time here food was amazing we all got the gumbo and by far the best gumbo we have had. We got boils jambalaya and firecracker shrimp . Greatly enjoyed everything as all the time. The drink was meh good but felt absolutely nothing from it . The waitress was great attentive but not overbearing . Will return

The food was horrible. Everything was cold my steak came out wrong then they took it back and burned it to the point of inedible. The seafood boil was over priced for the amount given. This is their version of “jumbo shrimp” and the jambalaya was even worse. The waitress was amazing but the food was horrible

I am moving nearby ... and decided to give TBTB&B a visit. I arrived at 11AM and was the second customer, the first to sit outside. Kayla was my server and she was quick to get the umbrella unfurled. The Reuben is huge and they claim to corn their own beef. It was good, but not Sy Ginsberg great. The sauerkraut was a bit sauer - more sauer, please. The cheese was sufficiently melty. The fish and chips portion is a bit stingy and nothing special. Not bad. Not great. But not up to the standards of Scotty's or Michno's. The pickle spear was great, The coleslaw was ... bland. Our server was Kayla and is excellent. The deck and Kayla elevated thismexper from 3-stars to 4-stars. Will I return? Yes!

Stopped in for happy hour. We had Miami Vice drink with a floater. Spinach artichoke dip and cheese quesadillas to eat. Spinach dip looked better than it tasted. Some garlic and seasoning would have made it better. Quesadillas were average. Not bad not great. Service was not friendly with greeting us at the reception area and we had to wait about 10 minutes to be acknowledged after we were seated. However the server was very apologetic. We were only here for the ambiance. Outside on the patio on at 80 degree day for happy hour is a happy moment.

The location of this place is perfect, with a stunning view of the lake! Here's what happened: I stopped by in advance and made a reservation. Most importantly, the lady at the reception confirmed I could bring a birthday cake to celebrate my husband's birthday. But when we showed up on the day, a different lady was at the front and immediately told me, "No, you can't bring your cake here unless you're a group of 10-12 people. We need to sell our own desserts." I explained that I'd already checked and got approval from her colleague, but it didn't matter. It was super frustrating -- I had planned ahead and made sure everything was cleared. There was no apology, no effort to understand the situation, just a flat-out no. We ended up staying since it was too late to go elsewhere, but honestly, the food didn't make up for it. The cheese pizza and full slab of BBQ ribs were just okay. Hopefully others will have a smoother experience.

The reviews are mostly spot on. Food is ok, service is less than ideal. I am not convinced that this place would survive if it were not for its location. Perhaps it is more of a go-to for "just drinks" but I would not waste my time here again for food.

I thought the view was beautiful with the restaurant being right off of the water, where we sat at we were in an enclosed room with large windows overlooking the water. You can also walk alongside the water as you exit the restaurant. I would return for drinks and the view only though, we didn't really care much for the food.

Cliff Notes Price Range: $$ Parking: Plenty Perk: View (If you sit outside) Non-Perk: Time limit on seats Ambiance: Beach bar Dress: Casual Noise: Medium Temperature: Depends on the weather Recommend: 100% Date: 09/19/2024 Dissertation: We walked into The Beach Tiki Bar & Boil ready for a casual, relaxing day by the water, and the vibe was exactly that--fun, chill, and a little beachy without leaving the lake. The view added to the whole "mini-vacation" feel, and while the service didn't blow us away, it was good enough for a laid-back night. We ordered the fish and chips--because who doesn't want some seafood with their "beach" experience, right? It was solid, crispy, and satisfying--definitely better than your average fried fish plate. No complaints from us! Now, the drinks? That's where the magic happened! The Caribbean Crush and Blueberry Breeze hit us like a warm tropical breeze. After two sips, we were convinced we were lounging on a sandy shore with palm trees swaying above. Honestly, the drinks did such a good job tricking our brains, we were expecting to find sand in our shoes when we left. In short, come for the view and drinks, and stay for the surprisingly good fish and chips.

Visited the restaurant this evening for a cocktail and apps. Went to the restroom and when I stepped out, found several servers vaping behind the bar area. They were blowing smoke around glassware.

I feel like people are too harsh in their reviews of this place. The location is beautiful, the food was all really good, and our server was delightful. We had to wait to be seated but it's a busy place so it's to be expected. We will definitely be back!

Labor Day 2024..... couldn't be a more gorgeous weather day. Lunch out on the patio, overlooking the water was amazing. The view alone is a five-star rating. We also rode bikes from West Bloomfield Trail and the Tiki Bar is an easy 1/2 mile ride from the trail. Great location. The day was young; the place was just opening. The staff were all in jovial moods and fun to talk to. They were attentive throughout our meal. Another five-star rating. We ordered three entrees and each of us agreed our food was solidly average. Nothing spectacular but no complaints either. My husband and I shared the jumbo shrimp boil with garlic butter sauce and spice on the side. Large portion and well prepared. Our friends had lobster roll with fries and the ahi salad. They both said there was a general lack of flavor though the entrees looked tasty and were fine: three-stars-4 stars The tab was a decent price given the higher prices we are now accustomed to paying. Be aware that the 18% gratuity is already added into the balance. We typically tip 20% or more for good service so this practice seems like it might actually not be the best for their wait staff, whose personalities seem like they would draw higher tips. Eating inside, the ambience might not be so inviting. It looked like a typical sports bar. The views make this place.

Must say it was a pleasant surprise to comeback to this place to find they have new menu options for lunch and dinner, not that old menu wasn't good but certainly a bit of a change was needed. I simply loved the Chicken Tika Masala, absolutely delicious. They also removed the policy for adding tip right away to the bill. Love this place no matter the season

We ordered lobster tacos and shrimp crackers. It was our first time having lobster tacos and they were a little chewy for our taste. Shrimp was really tasty. Ambiance - Really pleasant views facing the lake. Get the outdoor seating. They have a glass wall, so it's not fully open and stays warm. We loved it. They also have a band playing indoors. Service - Was quick and nice Parking - Available

Came in here for a quick meal and some vibes by the water and they gave just that. There was only me and one other table on the outside patio and they were super nice to me, especially with me being alone. The $3.50 drinks on happy hour SOLD ME. i got a cute soup and salad situation and I was very satisfied. My waitress was super chill. I loved everything about this place. I would love to come back and get a seafood boil when I have real time to sit down and enjoy my experience there.

I see some bad reviews but that wasn't my experience at all. I came in today by myself and ordered some crab eggs Benedict. Ate them while looking out over the lake. The food was absolutely fantastic and my service was even better. I eat out a lot and am typically pretty critical of the places I go and I found this to be a random wonderful experience. I live 20 miles away but enjoyed myself so much that this may be a regular Saturday visit for me. If it helps her at all, I think my waitress was named Julia. She was a big part of why I wrote this review, other than the crab being very fresh and the eggs being cooked to perfection. Personally, I loved it and will be back soon.

I really do like this spot. However, last time I went the hostess was CRANKY. It set a really bad tone. We ended up spending $350 but her attitude really left me with a bad taste. The food, however, is yummy. The chicken on the chicken & waffles is delish. The lobster bites are yummy. My family said the gumbo was great too. The view is amazing. They just need to fine tune the customer relations. I didn't appreciate feeling like "the bad guy" the minute I walked in.

Walleye and fish tacos were excellent. I loved the tiki vibe and sitting on the patio by the water was great. Food took a little long but server was friendly and didn't make any mistakes on an 11 person table with 2 kids.

Salad was good!! Lettuce was fresh and fish was good. I don't think it was worth $20 (super overpriced menu in total) but still good. Wine was ehhh and only 1 option for Pinot Grigio which was kinda odd. The patio was SOOOOO nice to sit at with friends, the best part for sure!! Service was great, a bit slow but suuuper kind will be back but maybe during happy hour because quality just didn't match the price.

This is the perfect spot on a beautiful evening. We were a little hesitant, as the 2-star review with very mixed Yelp reviews almost kept us away. In the end, due to the location and it was a birthday celebration, we decided to try it. The food was delicious and the view was awesome! Service was inexperienced, and the server made it clear she was just there in between school. She didn't seem to know much about the menu or the area, and they didn't offer up anything special for a birthday celebration. We went elsewhere for dessert. Fortunately the view sells itself and the food was excellent. The seafood boil was very different and made for a fun meal.

If I could give negative 1 stars, I would. Came here a couple of times over the past month, really only for the waterfront seating. 1st time, service was great, but we came back to our car to find that it had been swiped in the parking lot. Owner/manager says they don't have cameras outside, only inside (even though there is a camera right outside of the front door but ok). Second time, service was incredibly slow. Food was decent though. 3rd time, we decided to do a birthday dinner here. Now - we called to ask about reservations for 11, they said they don't take reservations. Ok. We got there at least an hour early to wait for a table. Requested waterfront seating. Again - over an hour ahead of time. When our table was ready, it was in the part of the "outdoor" seating furthest from the water and open air. The closest balcony view was covered with clear paneling - so no breeze whatsoever. We asked to wait to be seated by the water. They refused, claiming that's their most popular seating so they wont seat a party there. After asking to speak with manager/owner, he quite said something about every establishment having its own policy and this is theirs because that's their popular seating followed by, and I quote "you're only 6 feet from the water -- deal with it" (not 6 feel btw). So you mean to tell me that if we sat our party over to 3 consecutive 4-person tables by the water it would be ok, but moving them together was too much??? You mean to tell me that the 2-4 people sitting at separate tables pay differently than we do as a party of 11? Yeah, no. Needless to say, we left and found a place that treats their customers with some respect and appreciation. Tl;dr: service is pretty bad, food is ok, management is rude and doesn't value customers, parking lot is packed//busy for beach parking nearby and no cameras in case your vehicle gets damaged. Don't expect seating accommodations for parties.

The food was absolutely disgusting and the service was even worse. Don't ever go to this junk hole

Well mmmmm. The service was ok. The server Brook was so pleasant and accommodating. The food, smh out of 6 people including 5 year old, our orders were delivered wrong. I also have to say the Manager was pleasant and asked how to make it better i said whatever u think is fair. She did take the price of one burger off. I can only say the food was delivered wrong The waitress and Manager 5 star. Will I return. Yes we will

Thought the food was good but was lukewarm. The service process took long. Weekends are busy, should be prepared with more staff or have people who only bus tables. Disappointed when seeing the server bus tables when you are waiting to finish with your drink and food order including getting your bill and paying.

The service itself was good as well as the food. There was a mix up with one of the salads at our table which we did not say anything about but another waitress overheard and said she would fix it with no issue. Then the manager came over and berated us about the price of the salad and how we need to be more careful next time. In all my years I have NEVER experienced anything like this. Don't waste your time here.

Way, way, way overpriced. AND automatic 18% gratuity. My brunch eggs were burnt, not very tasty. Simply drinks cost more than the meals, which were overpriced. No thank you. I should have believed the 2.5 yelp score and drove on by.

Us 4 went on a sunday afternoon, mother's day, it was packed. wait time came down from 45 minutes to 15. we had lobster roll, fish tacos, smashburger and Cabo sandwich, everything tasted good. waitress was fast and attentive. 18% tip is included over 50$ . not sure why it's low rated, it's a good restaurant, we might come back for the great view.

Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The staff treated my group like we were a huge inconvenience to be there. The "owner" was rude to my friend when she asked a question about possibly switching tables. It was made known to us that he was the owner by the staff. Very aggressive attitudes. The food was cold and rubbery. There was no cheese on our nachos even and the prices were steep, but honestly we expected that unfortunately. And while we were there we witnessed this parking lot attendant harassing and yelling at people. Total disappointment for us cause we never get a chance to get together. And I hate to leave a bad review but really? Even the table next to us, a couple of guys were shocked at how terrible this place was and it was packed? Don't waste your time coming to this filthy establishment. And don't bring your family.

I love this bar!!!!! They have drink specials everyday along with happy hour. But my favorite is the seafood gumbo, it's the best around!!!!

Went there to gave a cocktail. When the 6 of us walked in we said we were just having cocktails. The hostess response "Bar" in a bitchy manner. Blonde hair, glasses, older

Such a good place for a nice view and good food! The waiter was super sweet and the place was clean and decorated nicely. It was pricey but the lobster mac n cheese was good and creamy. The fish was seasoned and the fish and chips were nice and buttery. The cajun mac n cheese was the best dish. It was creamy and seasoned and super good definitely recommend it. The portions were pretty big even for the lunch size. Overall a pretty nice place to eat!

Today was my first time here and this restaurant was everything I expected and more great patio, over looking the water, tasty shrimp tacos and very cool ambiance. The service was amazing I would definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere off the water felt like I was away in Florida for the day!

We had a large party and our waitress was attentive. We were seated outside. Restaurant is lake front. Great place to be on a beautiful day. Parking was full on a Saturday evening. The restaurant can use a make over and a good cleaning. Menu has a lot of choices but the price did not reflect the quality. I sampled everyone's food. Food overall was average. They could elevate the dishes a little. My margarita was not very good. Stick to beer wine. Just an ok place.

I have lived in the area for quite some years but never checked out this gem. It's definitely worth going particularly while it's still warm out - sit on the patio and enjoy beautiful lake views. Also be sure to grab a margarita but plan to sit for a bit as they make their drinks just right. I had a lobster roll with sweet potato fries which was pretty good. I appreciate that they make their lobster rolls warm vs cold. My only critique is they should consider using larger buns as they give you a nice serving of lobster. In addition, they have a great manager Dylan who helped us resolve a small issue with our order.

Great food and nice atmosphere. I love the atmosphere. Waitress was very knowledgeable about the drinks.

FINALLY the kind of seafood restaurant I've been looking for!!!!!! This place has it ALL: beautiful location and VIEW, fun ambiance and EXCELLENT dishes!!!!! This place is so good, I was LOST in the menu! I am a huge huge foodie and snob when it comes to good food let's face it- because I figure if I'm gonna dine out, it's gotta be something I can't whip up at home- and this place does just that! Of course we came for the seafood boils- which were wonderful. Not heavy or too saucy, yet full of real flavor and quality. We got king snow crab and shrimp pictured here but also got the lobster-- and OMG talk about sweet succulent lobster!!!!! I loved too that I didn't get up overly stuffed and heavy- the food was beautifully flavored. There were SO many things on the menu I wanted to try but I couldn't in one night but had to get this Michigan salad and it was PERFECT: blue cheese, plump dried cherries, crisp apple slices, fresh lettuce leaves, pecans and a beautiful strawberry/raspberry vinaigrette- so good and BIG! Oh and I forgot we had AMAZING lobster Mac & cheese- sooooooooo creamy and sweet and good toooo- I'm NOT exaggerating. And to top it all off, the thing I've always been MISSING especially when I used to try to go out in downtown chicago, was a nice VIEW of the water especially when dining at a seafood restaurant!!!! Having that view just elevates the whole experience- and this place has it!!! I'm sure it's even better during the day! And, it's not a super fancy place inside either so it doesn't feel pretentious- just a beautiful atmosphere with beautiful food. 5/5 for sure and definitely coming back!!!

Everytime we go here, we have excellent service and amazing food. Great view on the lake. Plenty of parking.

This place was far from disappointing!! Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing Ambiance!! We will be back for sure!!

Great location and ambiance. Various selections of food types. Soup excellent!! Worth a try for something different!

Bar tender was extremely rude, mumbling under her breath to her co worker about the people in our group

Great drinks and ambience! Love that this place overlooks the lake. It is a great place to eat out in the summer and sit on the deck. The food here is okay. It is more of a Seafood heavy menu now. I would stop in for a drink if i'm in the area. It's nice to have as a place to go out in Walled Lake

The outside was okay, but I always question the cleanliness of the kitchen if the inside seating is dark, dingy and dirty.

We love eating outside on the patio during the summer - drinks and appetizers. The food is just as good indoors but the breeze on our faces is delightful.

Very bad food. We had food poisoning , diarrhea after eating here. We ordered chicken fajita which was so greasy and burned and chicken pasta that was old chicken Tasted awful. Please don't go there. It use to be good but I think they changed ownership or something because it was so nasty. They didn't even offer a refund, I wasn't looking for refund but don't offer anything. Be aware,

food was good but they are absolutely taxing on crab legs 70 a pound! wtf is that don't even pay that on the coast for fresh crab

What I Like: - amazing views and peaceful mean - food is good and staff is relatively friendly What Can Be Better: - I'm a good tipper but don't like the automatic 20% gratuity - Don't like the upcharge for using a credit card; that's the cost of doing business Overall, for the view, the things I don't like may be worth it for the views.

We keep coming back because of the location. We know what to expected based on previous experiences and that's okay! We checked in and had a 1.5 hour wait. Totally okay since we could grab drinks and lounge outside. We appreciate the employees that have shown up to work so don't stress if there are empty tables and you have to wait. Once we were seated, we were able to enjoy a table on the water. Our waitress was super sweet and regularly checked in on us even though she was super busy. My husband got the jambalaya. The jambalaya was good. Be aware of the shrimp tails and spice. I got the lobster roll with cole slaw and tater tots. The lobster roll is fresh lobster with butter, which I love especially compared to lobster rolls with Mayo. My choice of lobster roll fo shizzle! We ordered a few cocktails. My husband ordered the island of misfits, which has a peanut butter whiskey but takes like a a tropical paradise. I got the mango margarita. No complaints!

Terrible service, we were not approached until we were at our table for over 10 minutes. When we did order we waited 15 minutes for drinks and never got our appetizer. Furthermore we ordered a beer that we were expecting to come out only to be informed 15 minutes later that they were out of that beer. Worst of all we were charged 18% gratuity on our bill without us having a large group (only 4). I totally understand busy service staff, but we attended on a slow weekday night. Needless to say, we will not be back.

Place has a nice Sunday afternoon vibe to it (pal on the seaplane was kind of annoying but unrelated to the restaurant). I got the walleye lunch, did not expect the portion to be quite that small, however it was really good. The server was very nice and funny. A new POS system is needed (crashed 3 times per our server). It took longer to pay our bill than the whole lunch (drinks and food) no joke

I was meeting up with 8 former co-workers to catch up, we thought this would be a fun place....man was I wrong! Drinks took forever to get, we ordered appetizers and dinner too. I received the wrong meal and no one ever came back to our table to check on us for 15 or so mins, when I asked the waitress about my meal she simply said they were the same price so I should just eat it. Really??? While we still had dinner and drinks on the table the manager announced that we had exceeded the 90 minute dining time....Really? So we all rushed to cram the remaining food in our months and finish our drinks. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR MEAL (if you even get what you order) WITH A COCKTAIL OR TWO.....if this is how they treat customers they should just have a drive though. If I could give -10 stars that would be more accurate.

I'd give 4 stars for food and 1 star for service. Food was good and flavorful. Prices don't bite. The best thing is it's right on the water, so you can sit outside and enjoy the view of people on the boats and kayaking. Inside, on the weekends, they have a live band too. Service was awful all around from hostesses to horrible wait staff. We waited for an hr or so till we got paged, came in - waited more, were given a horrible table because others were unavailable. So why did you page us if the table wasn't ready? Clearly they're understaffed and not trained. If You need a plate, you better go get it yourself since staff only arrives to take your order and when you're done eating with a check.

Beautiful location to enjoy your meal on a warm day by the lake, but service not so much so. If you get a table outside you get a great lake view and can observe ducks, swans or kayakers :). Wait service was very nonchalant, had to wait for a waitress for a while, if you need an extra plate - it's faster to go and find one yourself. Food is ok. Smokehouse bbq chicken pizza was pretty good- good flavor and delicious crust. Caprese salad was ok - sauce a bit too sweet. Firecracker shrimp breading a bit on a heavy side. On the other hand band inside was pretty good
