Right on the canal, there's plenty of room for all comers. Come by water, wheels or feet, a comfortable and easygoing tiki bar awaits. Friendly staff and servers are eager to grab you whatever it is that wets your whistle. The large tiki seats a good number of people both at the bar and at tables. They have a variety of sizes to accommodate smaller or larger parties. Outside of the thatched roof tropical bar area lies a large patio along the docks of the canal holding tables with umbrellas. They had 3-man live band playing music while we were there. Loud enough to enjoy but not so much that you couldn't talk. The food all looked really good. We ordered fish bites. My only complaint. They're made with Swai. It's an imported fish from Asia. A type of catfish that is farmed. Ehhh. If I had known that before ordering I probably my would not have. I'd rather see local fish or at least fish from the USA. Especially being in a huge fishing town in SW FL. Overall, we had a very nice time at this chill decent car and I highly suggest you go try it for a cold beer. read more

St. James City, FL A cool little spot where we grabbed an appetizer and a salad earlier today. The Bacon Wrapped Scallops were dynamite and the Blackened Chicken Salad was tasty as wrll..very good chicken! Service was a little slow but the place was packed and the servers were nonstop busy so it was understandable.. The Lemonade was refreshing and the live band playing picked out some good old tunes! read more

I came here with my mom and some friends. It is such a fun, laid-back spot with great tropical vibes. The atmosphere really makes you feel like you're on island time. Service was friendly and upbeat, though things slowed down a bit when it got busy. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy! read more

Low Key Tiki - Mahi dip - Seafood Near Me - Saint James City, Florida

As the name implies, this is a low key tiki hut bar on the water! Vibes are high and the view is nice. They offer a variety of beer and wine based cocktails at pretty low prices. They also have a decent food menu. The food is typical bar food in the area. read more

The food was good. Service was pretty good. I was blown away by them charging $1 for a half an ounce of ranch and the fact that they charge a $4.04 fee for using a credit card is unbelievable and ancient! It tells me they are super cheap and only care about money and not their customers. The owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves! Cheap and greedy!! read more

Service was terrible. We are native and went there where all the drunken spring breakers happened to be. There are no rules specified on which server takes care of tables or the bar spaces. We were told to ask anyone working if we needEd anything. No one came around to ask. My husband caught one and asked for a seltzer, Lite beer and a sprite for the 3 of us. Our friend had opened a tab already. A very rude server wouldn't allow me to order a can of soda to our seating unless she walked to the table (already in clear view) from where we were standing). She wanted confirmation of a tab. I just handed her a backup card (assuming speak-breakers may be disorderly and dishonest, to reassure her). I proceeded to the bathroom, as I have bladder cancer and I needed to make it to the restroom in time. The rude woman server took the soda can and my card to the table and proceeded to talk very unkindly about me to my husband and friend. She said she wouldn't serve me and some other commenters I wont mention. My friend ordered me a second, but because the rude server thought it was in the best interest to insult me to my husband and friend, we decided to leave. For the big picture, there were so many beyond wasted people there. We aren't on vacation and we are 50 years old with enough manners. class, and education to never be disruptive or cause a scene. She wasn't worth my husband and friend to even dignify her comments, so we just left. I'm am the most polite customer, I tip well, and I present myself appropriately dressed, etc. I went to the car, my husband withheld even challenging her nonsense, incoherent babbling. I'm upset he even tipped her as well as he did, as she did nothing but hand him a can of coke and make derogatory remarks about his wife behind my back. The tiki bar itself is not overall terrible, but I won't ever return. Management needs to hire more polite servers and maybe some training. I am too kind of a person to call and complain, or ask for a manger, etc. Perhaps I should have, because I should not tolerate that treatment from a service industry, nor do I deserve it ( no one should) . We always keep our area clean, behave well and overtip. I am considering calling the manager, but if the staff is any reflection of the entire restaurant, it may not be worth my time and energy. If my husband talked to them and didn't have the restraint to walk away, he would have probably not been as polite as usual. read more

On the water (canal) tiki hut bar that is a comfortable and pleasant place to relax and enjoy a cold drink and some good bar food with friends or just by yourself. Many people arrive by boat as there is a convenient docking spot within steps of the hut. I sat at the rectangular bar, and my servers were friendly, courteous, and polite. I inquired to one of my servers if this place had previously been named differently. She stated the place I was referring to (a few lots away) had been completely destroyed by Hurricane Ian and had never reopened. (Sad face) Anyhow, I ordered a draft Coors Light and was pleasantly surprised that it was only $3.50 - which is pretty good considering most places are charging $6.00 nowadays. I did not order anything off the menu, but look forward to returning to try their food. If you enjoy a laid back, open air, on the water atmosphere then this is a place you should check out. I'll be returning. read more

Been coming here for 5 years. Live in Matlacha. Waited 2+ hours for lunch and was repeatedly told by waitresses lunch was coming out in seconds. After watching parties of 6 & 8 come and leave, still no lunch. We paid our drink tab, checked out and left. No attempt by staff to deal with the situation. Waitresses and manager (Sandra) didn't seem the least bit concerned. Lost a customer. We won't be back. read more

Had a great time at Low Key. Went to see the group, Chasing Denver. Check them out if you get the opportunity. The beers were cold and very reasonably priced. They have nice pint glass coozies to keep your beer cold. Had the chicken tenders basket which was a good choice. I'll be back at some point. read more

The food is typical bar style food. You come for the social and viewing side of things. Beautiful scenery.

Ambiance is nice. Right on the water. Service was fast. But... Why the heck do you call yourself a tiki bar if you only offer beer and wine. False advertisement from my point of view. read more

Beautiful area. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The servers were attentive and really felt welcoming. They are dog friendly. They brought out bowls with ice water for my dog right when I sat down. Pull your boat up if you like. They have outdoor seating right on the water/canal. Had the Nacho's and the fish tacos. The fish in the tacos were each filled with a huge piece of fish. They were delicious! I will be back to try more. read more

Very cute place by the water where you can pull up with your boat. Very friendly staff. Dogs allowed in the outside parts. We had the coconut shrimp which were great and just as expected. The blackened fish wrap was great and had a nice presentation however it was extremely salty. However great spot we'll be back. read more

Had a good time here with a party of 9. The food was solid- tried the Chicken SOS (stuff-on-a-stick) and cheese burger. There is a lot of the local wildlife eyeing your food around the outdoor dining areas! The wine coolers on the menu were the perfect touch for a lunch. read more

If you are on a boat, don't mess with those over populated places. Go here instead! The service is impeccable. I wasn't really sure who our waitress was because they all stopped by the table to ask if we needed anything or clear something off. I got the coconut shrimp & zucchini fries. Best coconut shrimp of my life. Also ordered at my table: Fish oh the day was Mahi - 2 fish tacos (one blackened & one grilled) & one fish sandwich. All proclaimed fresh & good. Plus got a T-shirt for my hubby. Don't overlook this fun little place! read more

Was there yesterday. Both female bartenders were very nice and accommodating. Location was beautiful. Nice place to party ( beer and wine only) But fun. Relaxing and enjoyable. read more

Service was ok. I could tell there were a lot of regulars, bartenders knew customers names. I was disappointed with their drink options. Only wine and beer. It is not a full bar. No hard liquor. They had one canned margarita and the wrest of the drinks were wine based. I assumed it was a tiki bar but I was disappointed. It is right on the channel so there is boat access. And the place was nice. But I was very disappointed with drink choices. read more

Great place to stop for a ice cold beer and appetizer. We really enjoyed the fried green beans and the dip is great. Right on the water is packed full on entertainment. Plenty of parking and the service was stellar. The island fill to go with it. We go often, just failed to share. But more you have it. Check out out. read more

We were visiting the area and took a drive to Pine Island. We are traveling with a small dog and were looking for a fun looking place to stop for lunch that would allow our pooch to be with us. We were greeted by a table of locals that warmly welcomed us to sit with them, and heard how each came to live in the area not part time and full time. They introduced us to the owner also. I had the highly recommended fish tacos and they were terrific. My girlfriend had a burger, equally as good. It was obvious that this is THE place to meet up in town and was nice to see all the locals pull up in their boats. If you're in the area, I highly suggest you make this a stop. It's clean, fun and has a good menu. read more

Best Fish Taco's- they have discovered the one ingredient that most places are missing, the FISH.. Extremely large pieces of wonderful fish, blackened or grilled these tacos are fabulous. This is an extremely comfortable "Low Key" open air place where you can enjoy sitting under the cover of the Tiki or right along the water by the docks you will enjoy any of the many selections on their menu and be nicely surprised the amount of the final check... read more

Good food. Nice Florida locals atmosphere and has boat docks. Bartender was fast and friendly.

Fun Tiki Hut on the canal! Seems to be a lot of locals drinking beer and wine. No liquor. Food is standard bar fare and nothing special. The tuna appetizer looked good but we didn't have it. Laidback vibe. Waiters are very busy but friendly. read more

We had a late lunch here. The food is on the ordinary side. It's a nice looking place. They only serve beer and wine so forget about having a good cocktail. The staff are really nice and accommodating. It does have an old Florida feel to it. But it's on a canal so you get to see you and hear a lot of boats motoring and smell the fumes. Not my favorite. read more

I'm so glad that this bar was open during Covid. We had never been to the area but I'm very happy that we ended up stumbling in here. We were there at night for dinner and drinks and live music. The live music was awesome and he was really interacting with the crowd which is super great. My fiancé and I both got the coconut shrimp with french fries and a couple of beers. Really good bar food and very fair price. I highly recommend going here for just a relaxing good time and to get away from the normal craziness of life. I wish I took pictures but I was too busy enjoying myself to be honest. read more

On the positive, the food is good. The bacon wrapped scallops are amazing. What is disappointing is the service. We were there last night and they were very busy so I could forgive the service. We went back tonight when they were less busy and amazingly the service was even worst. Don't waste your time, head a little farther south to The Waterfront for even better food. read more

Had a fun 'sunset' experience here recently..the place was probably700 yards from our motel. We noticed there was no front entrance so we walked around the back and Lo and Behold! A Tiki Bar overlooking one of many St, James City's canals. The only thing missing was Jimmy Buffet! The waitress was quite cool and suggested a few things from the menu. we both had the fish sandwich with slaw on the side and an order of fries..pretty filling. There were only a handful of other people there and soon it was just me and my friend, the waitress and the owner. He said they decided to just keep the front of the restaurant (indoors) closed for now but he wants to open it up for parties/private events. Nice local flavor and good folks! read more
