We like coming here, grabbing a drink, sitting by the water and eating some yummy food. My BF has the fried whole snapper and I had the Peruvian Steak bowl. The food is always delish and the servers are super nice! We love the location and they had a FJ playing tonight: great, fun vibe! Always a good place to eat and relax! read more

Dad and I came here after spending some time at peanut island and it was wonderful. The singer was so good, and there was basically no one there. It was a sunny afternoon on a weekend and the vibes were immaculate. We split a fried fish and had a drink before heading home. Thank you we will definitely be back! The staff were sweet and I can imagine the place being very packed. read more

Super cool beachy bar! The drinks come strong and the walls are filled with pictures of famous people that have visited. The service was fast but the food was a little bland. The menu is fun but the dishes I tried with my friends weren't anything to rave about. The drinks were a lot better though! We loved everything from the bar and felt the pricing was fair! Will def be back for some drinking and live music! read more

Dropped in for an impromptu meal with a friend. While there were assigned parking spaces for the restaurant they were all taken even though the restaurant was not busy. It took a moment to realize we were allowed to seat ourselves because there was a sign that said wait to be seated. A guest of the restaurant informed us we could seat ourselves and so we did. Bridget, our server, was amazing. Super attentive and had our orders ready in a timely fashion. I had the empanadas and my friend had the steak quesadilla; food was excellent and hot. The atmosphere was nice, chill island vibes for sure. Good place to just stop into if you don't have any concrete plans but want a good bite to eat. Definitely hope they figure out a better system for the parking tho. read more

Surprised to see a 3 star average, to be honest. We had a really nice lunch. Nate, our waiter, was personable, friendly, funny and professional. The fish tacos were tasty and the fact that they came in a pack of 3 was appreciated. It was pretty brisk today but we were seated and served right away. It took a while to get the check but we weren't in a rush. Plenty of parking. Casual, fun atmosphere. read more

3.7 stars, Average place. Good for late night or quick snack. Even though it's a tiki bar don't expect fancy colorful tiki cups. The drinks and food were good and priced fairly. Service was good. Overall not bad especially there aren't any other tiki bars nearby....surprisingly read more

We came to this place randomly, since we tried going to a different tiki bar, but it was closed so we went with Rafiki instead. It was not too busy, even though it was a Saturday night. There was plenty of paring near the building. We sat outside at the bar, and were quickly approached by the bartender. We had a Mai Tai and a Guavarita (I think, I remember it right?). Both drinks were nice and strong with well balanced flavor. Nothing too sweet, yet not too boozy, just right. We also got coconut shrimp. It arrived freshly cooked: still steaming hot and crispy. It was not as coconutty as I would have loved it to be but it was good nonetheless. Overall, it was a good pick even thought there were no cool tiki cups. read more

Food was REALLY GOOD. Would have gotten 5 stars if their employees showed up that day. There was this poor girl working ALONE with a fully seated restaurant. She did as well as she could and when the owner finally showed up to help, we all told him to give her a raise because she worked her butt off with a smile. Willing to go back for sure because the flavor of the food was amazing. I got the Noche buena bowl and it was really flavorful, but menu doesn't say it's spicy and there were fresh jalapeños all up in it. Still really enjoyed since I like spicy but I would def update the menu to advise. read more

I was waiting for a private boat leaving for peanut island and stopped by this Tiki and the bartender (Bill) was absolutely amazing and just a joy. I ordered the Cobb salad to go and a lemon drop shot. The Cobb salad was delicious and they had quality dressing paired with it. Sometimes restaurants water the dressing down. They were quick with the service too. It's cozy and they have fans in the tiki so it's extremely comfortable and super chill. I would recommend and definitely will return for those salads and bar drinks. read more

Not bad but not great either. Service was good. Portion sizes were pretty decent. Captian crunch chicken sandwich was interesting but the "jalapeño slaw" was dry cabbage with 1/4" coins ... lol ... and not good. read more

Food and service were excellent, only removed a star because the Friday entertainment. We initially thought it was Karaoke night.

Came here on a whim when we were doing our walK to know the area. It was a Saturday and the only place I think in the marina that was open. I love their Guavarita and their Passion Fruit Mojito. Both were so good! This bar is an outside bar where the birds visit often. Their Fried Calamari-order this! Service was awesome! read more

Amazing time at Bill's bar, gyro fries were incredible!! Will make this my new boat day spot.

Rafiki Tiki has a gorgeous setting location right across a roadway from a park with lovely palm trees, a fountain, and the beach. So, it does sort of have that Tiki Beach atmosphere. I sat at the bar. The bartender took my order but was rather abrupt about it and not all that friendly. I think she was having a nicotine fit because she quickly disappeared to a corner to smoke. So, the overall service sort of sucked. I had a beer and their flatbread caprese to eat. The flatbread was comprised of basil pesto and tomato topped with mozzarella cheese and some shaved parmesan. The best I can say about it is that it was OK. They tout their food as being Floribbean, but in their case, I'd say just higher-end bar food. That is unless you consider tacos, ropa vieja, or Philly cheese steak as being Floribbean cuisine. LOL! read more

Nice place to sit outside and have a good meal. Service could be better- it was not busy. I had the Noche Buena Rice bowl. The pork was very tender and had a lot of flavor there was a good amount of rice. It had some very good tasting plantains. We were quick to be seated (we had our dog) we were in the sun but that was ok except after we got our food we didn't see our server again (I wanted to get water for our dog) I let her drink out of my cup- then I had none. read more

I just went for Happy Hour on a very windy, overcast late afternoon. Sitting at the bar with the view of the Intracoastal and the wind gusts all around was really refreshing. It was two for one beer, wine, and well drinks. I ordered two items off the $5 HH menu -- conch fritters and snapper ceviche. I mentioned the fritters in my review nearly a year ago, but they were better this evening. Very good. The ceviche was amazing considering it was $5! I ordered another one when getting ready to leave and boxed it up after one bite. Great appetizer! I was really surprised how good these two items were after my mediocre review on my first visit 11 months ago. Shout out to Gina Louise, an extremely helpful and kind bartender. She went above and beyond with my friend's picky menu order, as well as with menu recommendations and friendly conversation. She's fantastic! One huge bonus is that it's dog friendly, with a lot of room to walk them before and after your restaurant visit. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

I went here with no expectations. The reviews are all over the place. I enjoyed my lunch. I had the Cobb salad with grilled shrimp. It was a nice sized salad. $30 for the salad and ice tea wasn't bad. I like the location. Plenty of free parking. Nice view of the marina. It's a no frills place. The service wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. I would go again. Maybe try the drinks. read more

Since we were staying near the Boardwalk near Hollywood, Florida, we decided to meet a girlfriend of mine. Once I heard the music, I was in heaven! Very nice, and the atmosphere was nice.It was amazing! I met friends here. And wow, did I enjoy myself! My son was turned 22, he had a wonderful time also with his girl. The crowd was a great group of nice mature folks! I can't wait till the next time! I wished I had ordered the chicken wings! They looked good. read more

Rafiki Tiki - Sitting by the bar, the game was on also!There was a live band and it was a wonderful night! - Tiki Bars Near Me - Riviera Beach, Florida

Super cute place came here after snorkeling all afternoon and wanted a quick bite. Initially service was great before seated but then disappeared completely after taking the order. Food was decent given taking into account price, ambiance, and flavor. Service was lacking over all, we could never flag down our waitress, she gave us a sauce tray that was completely submerged in water and never came back to refill our drinks. Luckily we were hungry from the exercise and food was decent enough. read more

Came here for lunch on Father's day after visiting Peanut Island. Our waitress was great. We got ceviche and ham croquettes for appetizers. They were fine, but I've had a lot better for both. I got the mahi rice bowl for my entree. It was pretty tasty also. It's basically the only restaurant in the marina area so it's a good stop for when returning from the water, but their prices represent their local monopoly read more

I come here enough and I never leave a review. It's time. Each time we come we spend no less than $200. The drinks are watered down and my guests were disappointed. Thankfully I had a beer. What was the absolutely most disappointing was the food. My friend ordered the mahi sandwich and had to return it because the fish was chewy. My burger was terrible and coconut shrimp and sweet potatoe fries and onion rings were rock hard. Oh! And the shrimp scampi was nothing more than boiled noodles and shrimp thrown on top. Had to request sauce and was charged smh. And the worse was the service. He is definitely new, never seen him before. Left him $10 tip when he should have received $40. He should be grateful! Won't be returning. Such a shame. Otherwise the owner is in a great location and the live music is nice when they have it. read more

Great outdoor dining with marina views. The service and food are very good. Highly recommend for a convenient, easy quality meal.

Mediocre place. Decent if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I had the mahi bowl and it was fine. A little bland. The service was attentive and it was a cute little place with a band. Kind of loud if you weren't expecting live music though. read more

Great daily Specials and great food. They also have a good happy hour. The view from here is amazing.

The food and drinks were rough. Egg rolls must have been frozen, mac and cheese was HUGE and flavorless. Mozzarella sticks were also flavorless. Burger was the only decent thing. The ambiance is great and the service was good. The drink we had was ROUGH. When you have a rum punch you want it to taste at least a little sweet but this was ROUGH. No one could finish it. I think if they downsized their menu, smaller portions and focused on making a smaller amount of amount of SOLID dishes and drinks they would fair much better. They have such a great location, they just need to taste their flavor-lacking food and add some seasoning. read more

I've been here many times but this was the first time I went on a sunday. This is an outside seating venue only so thank goodness the heat was bearable today. They had live music going and as the evening progressed it started to get pretty packed but in a good way. For food I went with the peruvian rice bowl. Its basically been my go to dish from the menu which is stacked with all kinds of things. Definitely something for everyone. My only gripe is that I wasn't a fan of the ceasar salad I had on the side. Try it out for yourself it's definitely a nice vibe for sure. read more

Rafiki Tiki - Peruvian Rice Bowl - Tiki Bars Near Me - Riviera Beach, Florida

This bar is located at the Riviera Beach Marina Village. As its name indicates, this is a Tiki Bar, and consists of an outdoor patio with a bar in the middle of the restaurant. It can be too hot for some people to eat here, but the place is nicely decorated (with a Floridian/Caribbean style) and with the view of the marina. I came here recently with a friend for lunch and we decided to just share a few appetizers: we had chips with salsa and queso, mozzarella sticks, croquetas de jamon, ceviche and tostones. Everything was good (especially the croquetas) but in my opinion is on the expensive side. I had white wine with the food, which was ok. I did find their service a little bit particular though: when we both ordered another glass, they brought us the wine in a plastic cup and poured it in our glasses. They have HH during the weekdays from 4-7pm, and what they offer apparently varies every day: considering their prices, this is the only time I would consider stopping here again for a drink and a bite. read more

BLUF: wildly overpriced, horrible food, & surviving off its location / ambiance, will not return. Over all extremely disappointed. Bill was $127 for 2x drinks (heads up... pina colata's are $20 each), 1x appetizer (conch fritters, best thing I ordered), and 2x bowls, one steak (think 'steak & cheese... not cut or cube) & shrimp.... Which were both awful.., like... we each ate less than 1/4 of it because it was so bad. Service was terrible, seemed to be out of obligation vs trying to do a good job. The ambiance / location was the only redeeming aspect of this location, has potential to do, and should be far better. read more

This place is awesome! Love the food, cold tap beers. The clientele seems to be regulars and very welcoming. I've always had great service at the bar. Great music too. The cheesesteak and the shrimp bowl are my favorites. Love everything about Rafiki Taki and always my go to place when in West Palm. read more
