    This is the place to be!!!! people were always gathered around listening to great music and enjoying. Our waitress/bartender Brook gave us great information since it was our first time there food was really good two different times while we were there We got Cuban's. ( a must)

    This place is always packed right in the middle of the boardwalk at Hollywood Beach. Their bar is a l Tiki bar always packed . There is always music and always a place to meet people and have a good beer or 2..

    A stop at Riptide is a must whenever we have visitors in town. After a long walk on the broadwalk, it's the perfect place for a cold beverage. They are one of the few places that almost always has live music, which draws people in as they're walking by. Be aware that sometimes things can get crowded at the bar, so you may have to wait for your drink. My only recommendation would be more staff on crowded days. I've never had their food so cannot speak to it. We love coming here for the tiki hut vibes, cold beer, and live music!

    Really had a long wait so ordered a frozen pina colada at the bar. To sit outside with live music and have two drinks was chill and relaxing. People were very drunk, but the weather was great.

    Yummy pina coladas at Riptide tiki bar !

    We stopped here for lunch and a drink because it was packed and had live music! Unfortunately, when we tried to order, the friendly bartender said she had two people quit that day and they are so packed that they have run out of food! The things they did have, looked good, but there was no one left in the kitchen to cook. We decided to stay and order a piña colada and enjoy the fun atmosphere and music, anyway. I hope they will get more staff in the near future so we can try it for lunch . Their piña colada's were really yummy !

    I had a really good time here. They have a live performer that is fantastic. I think he is called Chopper. He is one talented performer. I really like his choices of songs. This is one lively place. The place has out side sitting. Its nicely spaced and sitting inside. The sitting inside requires you to wear a mask. All the workers here are wearing a mask. I had a chicken quesadilla. I liked it. It had a lot of cheese which I loved. The flavor were good. It came with plastic silverware and a napkin inside a bag individually wrapped. They had condiments in little containers too. They made me feel safe. I also had a strawberry daiquiri. I am not a drinker. I liked it. It was one hot day and a drink was just perfect. My drink was light but refreshing. It was crazy busy. The staff was really nice and professional but I little slow. This is a great place to listen to music and enjoy the day.

    We were two couples on a long layover at Fort Lauderdale airport and decided to leave and go have some fun.We came to Riptide and had a blast and we highly recommend a day or night here. The live entertainment was awesome, our bartender was so fun and we danced until we couldn't dance anymore. Drinks were so reasonably priced and the vibe was just what we were looking for. Everyone was friendly, enjoying themselves and all out to have a good time. The hotel itself doesn't look very fancy, but they have the best entertainment on the boardwalk.The area looked fun and the beach was clean and beautiful. There is parking available but we did Uber so not sure of availability or cost. The four of us truly could not have had a better time waiting for our connecting flight to the Caribbean. This is a place that veterans feel welcomed and appreciated as we met several and it was an honor. We will definitely come back here when we are in town again. Cheers!

    Always live music, draft beer is about $ 7 per glass, I counted 7 varieties of draft beer in total. there are not very many seats, it is constantly full of people! a lot of people are standing around listening to music, bikers are coming, the atmosphere of a good bar.

    Room Directly in front of the bar and restaurant.

    The room was clean and modern. But our room location was horrible. They gave us rm 6 lower level directly in front of the bar and restaurant. Every time we opened our door we inhaled cigarettes and marijuana smoke that left the stench in our hair and clothes for the rest of the day. Asthma people beware, you might need your inhaler like my daughter did. The pic below is the location of the room.

    She's the manager and bartender with bad attitude and bad costumer services  She was very mean to me  And it's not acceptable

    I came with my family -January -9-2022 at 3:00 like every sundays with my kids and I order on the bar because they didn't have a server and order many things including chicken wings with fries and on the bill didn't show the fries and I told the bartender and she give me attitude because I told her why she's charging me more for the fries (7 dollars) if you order the chicken the fries are cheaper and then she's told me if I don't like the service or the food go somewhere else SHE SHOULD GET FIRE any manager or employees should talk to a costumer like this I would like to post the picture of her face so everyone can see it And also if you don't tip her she tells you Thanks for the tip Please if the owner see this review take action and fire her please Every costumer will appreciate to have q better service

    I was 1 or 2 two nights ago, 11/13/2021. I could not believe when the bartender served me a Heineken in the bottle, I paid for it and gave her a tip. I was a few feet away and take as sip and I realized, hey, this beer is hot. I came back to the bar, and the lady was very busy, and I politely told her my beer was hot. She looked at me and shrugged her shoulders and blamed the barback. she said, "Hey, the barback just restocked all my beers and now all I have is warm beer". Everyone around me started laughing. I said, well, can I have anything that is cold? She said "Again, everything was restocked just now and all I have is warm beer" I was shocked. So she knowingly served me warm beer. Others started asking for ice to pour their warm beers over. This lady is very selfish. She just wanted her tips and did not give a damn that she was giving everyone hot beer. Also, I talked to a regular. His mane is "Mike". He said the barback is very lazy and always on his phone in the back. Well guess what. When I did a google street view, there he was! In the back on his cell phone! The owner needs to have a talk with the bartender, and fire the barback. The bartender would be close to be fired too in my opinion. I will never go back even though I am staying very close to the bar. We have been here on vacation many times and this is a first. I said, well, can I have  anything that is cold?  She said "Again, everything was restocked just now and all I have is warm beer"

    The tv and closet and bathroom

    The riptide is clean but has many problems they turned our water off for a whole day on our second night for some construction which was very loud and it was late enough to wind down on a Monday. We couldn't cook in our room(9) because the stove didn't work so they had to give us a key to another vancant room to cook. Towel service was subpar we had to go and ask. Then it was raining for 2 days and there was a flood and tornado warning which is not the hotels fault but what is the hotels fault is the hole in the roof where water was leaking the shower drain was gross. But the nice things about the hotel was that it's on the beach the tiki bar food is pretty good and Brian and Ryan were super nice and kept helping us with our luggage and when my Tia had to go down the stairs in a wheelchair the place isn't very wheelchair friendly but it was okay because she only has a leg injury and can hop on one foot parking is scarce on the one way street but not so bad unless it's raining like it has been. We got 3 different room keys but they never let us switch rooms only gave us keys to borrow we got 2 days comped out of the 5 it is a no smoking property I put pictures also our ceiling fan light didn't work just the lamp beside the bed and kitchen light

Unfortunately, the service has been very inconsistent -- truly hit or miss. The food itself is adequate overall, and the breakfast buffet (which is included) has been good. The buffet items are fresh, and the past two mornings we've had a lovely server who was attentive and pleasant. However, other aspects of the service have been frustrating. Despite being here multiple days, staff have repeatedly struggled to pronounce a very simple name -- JILL -- instead calling out "Geo" or "Byron." At one point I didn't even realize they were attempting to call me, and we were passed over. It's a small thing, but after several days, it starts to feel careless. One evening I ordered a cheeseburger -- just cheese, well done. I clearly and politely stated (three times) no onions, no peppers, no pickles. The server didn't write it down. The burger arrived undercooked and bloody, loaded with onions, peppers, and pickles. I had to send it back. That kind of mistake is avoidable with basic attention to detail. Another night, despite the restaurant being half empty, we were told the kitchen was shutting down for an hour because it was backed up and they didn't have enough wait staff. It was a holiday weekend -- one would think staffing would be planned accordingly. As hotel guests, we're somewhat of a captive audience, so that was disappointing. Overall, the breakfast buffet has been the highlight, and when the service is good, it's very good. But the inconsistency, lack of organization, and poor communication have left us frustrated. Lesson learned -- we'll be dining elsewhere for the remainder of our stay. Oh the view is great !!!

The exterior had visible trash and debris scattered all over the frontage and parking lot, a poor first impression for a restaurant. Inside, there was an extremely strong fish odor that made the dining space uncomfortable. While some fish smell is expected in a seafood market, it was quite overpowering for a place serving meals. We chose to sit outside, but the outdoor seating area appeared disorganized. Tables and chairs were scattered, the tablecloths looked dirty, and the floor was wet from what appeared to be a spilled drink that hadn't been cleaned up. There was no host stand and no greeting from anyone when we arrived, so it wasn't clear if it was self seating or hosted. we couldn't tell employees from the customers. Eventually someone told us we could sit anywhere. The staff member who assisted us was friendly, but he didn't seem very familiar with the menu when we asked about the differences between the fish options. We were also told they were out of sugar-free beverages and there was no beverage menu available. With some attention to cleanliness and organization, this place could likely offer a much better dining experience. The place seemed better suited as a seafood market rather than a restaurant, so we ultimately decided to leave and dine elsewhere. We hope the management takes note of these issues, as with some improvements this could be a much more enjoyable dining experience.

    Waterfront Vibes, Solid Food & Great Value…read more Had about a 15 minute wait, but honestly worth it. Sitting outside right by the water is such a nice experience, the view is beautiful and makes the whole thing. I expected it to be more expensive because of the location, but prices are actually super reasonable. We tried the mahi sandwich, the burger, and mozzarella sticks to start. The burger is the standout, super flavorful and really well done. The mahi sandwich was very fresh and a solid option. The mozzarella sticks are a good appetizer to share between two people, not too heavy and a nice starter. Got a couple of beers because of the heat and everything was priced really well. Michelle was our server and she was great, super attentive and always checking in on us. Between the view, the food, and the prices, this place is 100% worth it. I would definitely come back.
