I was so anticipating a disappointing tourist trap experience, and I left completely impressed. Not only does Rikki give the best panoramic sea views for diners, but the entrees came up, no lie, within 5 minutes of placing the order. It was so quick, I expected the food to have heat-lamp hangover, but that wasn't the case. What a great performance, especially in light of the Squid Lips debacle. Call before heading over. Their availability is weather dependent, but I can't think of anyplace else Id rather be on a beautiful sunny day, than at the bar, facing the horizon, with a lava flow read more

We walked the pier the night before and thought Rikki Tiki Tavern was a really cool concept; having food and drinks right over the water. We had already eaten dinner that night, so we decided to come back the next evening for food. There were 8 of us, and it didn't seem too busy. After waiting a few minutes, we moved a couple of tables together so our group could sit together. One of the younger employees came over and started yelling at us about moving the tables, saying it was a fire hazard. Whether or not we were supposed to move them, the way he handled it was completely unnecessary, especially with children in our group. We stayed calm and de-escalated the situation ourselves, but what bothered me most was that no other staff member stepped in or tried to help. Having an employee yelling at your group while everyone else just watches definitely puts a bad taste in your mouth. That being said, the food was good and the view is easily 5 stars. Eating and having a drink out over the water is a great experience. They serve beer in plastic cups, which isn't my favorite, but I understand the setting. Great concept, good food, and an excellent view. The staff experience was just strange and unfortunately took away from what otherwise would have been a really enjoyable night. read more

Their gator burger is amazing, fries are fresh, and the ocean views are par none. You cannot get a better view of cocoa beach while you eat and drink. Service was always great everytime we've gone. read more

Out on the pier on a gorgeous day, this is PEAK Florida. We wandered onto the pier and headed straight for the thatched roof at the end. We ordered hamachi and a Point Break Roll (I think that's what it was!). I loved how beautiful the presentation was. Our bartender was friendly and made us feel right at home. We opted to use the pier parking which was $10 for the day. The meter parking is $6.35 ish for one hour. If you're in Cocoa Beach, this is the place to check out! read more

We had sushi and it was fresh and delicious. I had the Pier 62 and it had everything I loved in a sushi roll! The drinks were ok. The description makes them sound better than they are.

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 3 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 4 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 2 MENU SELECTION: 3 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 3.85 If visiting cocoa beach and you're looking for a beautiful view, with good drinks, then look no further. This place has great vibes and wonderful bartenders. We initially stopped by thinking they may sell tiki drinks, but don't be fooled like myself, it's just a bar at the end of the pier. They don't have reservations and it's a first come, first serve seating so just grab something available and enjoy. Luckily it is a large bar with a ton of seating. The food isn't anything special because it's just frozen food, but if you're hungry it will do the job. We ordered the fries and they were cooked perfectly. Would recommend eating before or after and just enjoying drinks. Overall, this place was everything we were looking for. Would be amazing if they served some Tiki drinks, but even without we still had a great experience. If you can't find seating then I highly recommend just ordering from bar and standing until something opens up. read more

We loved it at this amazing tiki hut tavern at the end of Cocoa Beach Pier! What fun! Everyone was happy and the view is awesome!! We had been driving all day from Miami so it was good to stop here for a couple of minutes and have something cold to drink. We had a Margarita and the Miami Vice. Every seat has a good view. The bartender was fun with a good sense of humor. We already had dinner reservations in Jacksonvile later that evening so we didn't order any food here. We only stayed a half hour because,we had to move on but plan to go back later this year to see Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Center. Do stop by here when you visit. read more

Love this restaurant location at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier! The views from this restaurant are spectacular! We had evening drinks and were in awe of the views and lovely sea breeze! Looking forward to going back to have a meal, as the menu was extensive with many fresh, creative, choices. Poke' salads, seafood, sushi, and many appetizers. Reasonable prices, fast service and a fun atmosphere! read more

My cruise stopped in Port Canaveral, Florida and I decided to visit Cocoa beach pier. This beach was really close to the port and it it's also popular because of the beautiful pier! At the end of this pier was this tropical tiki bar! I grabbed some tropical cocktails like Cocoa Set Sail which had Blue Curaçao mixed with Pina Colada and Mango Madness which had rum and peach schnapps! Although they were beautiful looking and fruity tasting, they unfortunately didn't taste of alcohol at all. Also, the service is fast but I was given a bit of attitude when I asked about getting up from my seat and walking around the pier with my drinks (drinks are allowed on the beach). But I still enjoyed my drinks while watching the sun set! read more

I can't really say that it was a nice full meal everything was too small. What I really liked was the company of my family from jersey. Came for a beach photoshoot. One to many people for that did know I am a first timer here. Nice music background. Nice breeze. Taste food for sure. read more

Cool place on the cocoa beach pier. I can't speak for the food, only the drinks. Drinks were cold and refreshing! Ordered some IPA mango as well as some light beer. Good drinks with right amount of carbon with great chill temperature. Sat at the bar, was able to see some surf action while sipping on some brews. Nice Ambiance to chill and relax. Bartenders were attentive to your needs. I recommend this place just because it is on the pier. Good place to take your date. read more

We would love to go the the Rikki Tiki Tavern, however it is open about 10% of the time. I think the rule is if the wind is above 5 mph, they don't open. I am not a weather guru but it is on the Ocean. So if you want to see if they are open, no sense calling as NO ONE answers the phone there, I even tried the option to reserve a banquet space. So you think you could check the Cocoa Beach Pier webcam, NOPE, it has been out of service for years. That seems odd since Westgate is very expensive and makes A LOT of money...fix the camera. On a good note, the happy hour is awesome, 4-7pm M-F, half off beers and I think some drinks too. Timing is good because after 4pm Westgate stops gouging $30 for parking. I would suggest to just go for drinks as the food is meh and also very expensive. read more

The food was great. And unlike a lot of restaurants in the area, you get portions that outweigh the price. Server was very friendly, and everything came out fast and hot. I could do without fending off the pigeons but that is the price to pay for eating oceanside. read more

Went to Cocoa Beach by the pier to hang out for my birthday weekend, and my wife and I decided to check out Rikki Tiki Tavern at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier. It was such a fun experience to relax on the beach, then walk up to the tavern--just a quick 2-minute stroll from our tent! We ordered the Blackened Grouper sandwich, and it was super tasty. The fries were shaped differently but cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. We also shared a Beach & Boozy Bucket, and I definitely recommend paying the extra $3 for the additional shot of rum--totally worth it. Our waitress, Tina, was nice and friendly, making the experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back, hopefully to catch a rocket launch and enjoy more of the great food! read more

Don't. Stop. Turn around. Go back- TOURIST TRAP. Best thing on the menu is a Diet Pepsi served in a plastic cup. Yes the view is great, but EVERYTHING ELSE is a disappointment. Don't get the calamari- it's been sitting in the freezer for months ready to be over cooked and served... grouper sandwich was okay but the pasta salad was literally the worst pasta salad I've ever had in my life. Salt would have made it less terrible. Service was good- but I asked her details about the items I ordered and she still pushed me to get them... hence disappointment ensued. read more

Menu is the same as pier 60. This place is great on a sunny day. Good music, great breeze, relaxing atmosphere and not that busy. Was able to sit right away, even on a Saturday lunch. Blacked grouper was well spiced, fresh but nothing special. The battered fries and the strawberry cake was the best, highly recommend. The nacho mojo was a lot and heavy. The mango drink was not good at all. Service here was fast. Took them 10mins from the order to getting our food. read more

I came to Rikki Tiki after noticing there was a restaurant at the way end of the pier. I didn't realize that whether you sit at a table or sit at the bench area that faces the ocean a server will assist you, which is great and allows you to not have to walk to the bar constantly if you can't get a table. It is first come first serve seating, and definitely can get packed on a nice day. They do have a separate sushi menu so definitely ask if interested. I got the sushi sampler and also a separate tuna roll, and no complaints here. You can even luck out and see some ocean wildlife, and that particular day I was able to see dolphins nearby. Highly recommend. read more

Very deceptive. We got 2 drinks. The total bill is $2 more than what it cost (see pic below). It's not the $2 we're worried about, it's principle. We feel like we were scammed and we don't like it. Shady business! read more

Unremarkable for the money in a good way still yet a good place to waste away the day if you've got some cash. Not cheap but you get the view and something like customer service. Was enough fun on the day but I don't think I'd be coming back anytime soon. Hope you enjoy it though. Wonderful views. When in Rome, you know. You find a spot and make the most of it, I guess. read more

I liked this place mostly because of the beautiful view over the water. I thought the ahi tuna poke nachos were not a very big serving for the price. But they were quite delicious and I loved the tuna. The margaritas with grand marnier $10 were good but a tad sweet. Our servers at the bar were very upbeat and fun. We moved to a table later and the server there was not as attentive but just ok. It is a super touristy environment (duh it's cocoa beach) but I don't mind. They had the usual Jamaican and Jimmy buffet music playing. It is a breezy cool place to chill and soak in the environment. read more

We stopped for lunch at Rikki Tiki while we were in Cocoa Beach. We were there a year ago and it was pretty good. The views are amazing. The drinks were good. The food was awful. I had a pulled pork sandwich. The pork was very dry, and covered in a mustard sauce. The word 'mustard' was not listed on the menu, or I would not have gotten it. I had the garlic Parmesan pasta salad. It, too, was very dry and had no flavor other than the garlic. My husband had a turkey club which was mediocre. He also had Cole slaw which was, amazingly, very dry. It was just cabbage with very little mayonnaise. We won't be back. read more

For 2 people we ended up paying $73 before tip for two main meals, an extra side, one smoothie, and two beers. We ordered 2 drafts beers and a Strawberry/Passionfruit virgin smoothie (REALLY good). for our meals we had the pork butt mac and cheese with onion rings on it and a crab cake sandwich. The mac and cheese was very creamy and delicious, but it was a little pricey at $16 given the portion was a little small. but overall the food was great. Their menu is the same as Pier 62 (even said pier 62 at the bottom) Given that it's January and the off season we had no trouble getting a table. Service was good. We were lucky enough to see dolphins playing in the surf while eating, which wS a nice treat. We definitely will bring visiting guests here, but will warn them of the price. read more

If only half stars were a choice, I debated on giving this spot 3 or 4 stars but 3 is just too harsh while a 4 star is generous. I went with the later as the service was great and what a view! I've always gone for the fruitiest drink when I go there because it's such a island vibe on the water with the ocean air stinging your skin. It's wonderful! The shrimp and crab dip was cold, so be warned if you expect it to be warm (like I did) regardless very tasty for its simple appearance. Overall a beautiful unique spot that is a must for out of towners and an often traveled destination for locals. read more
