I had an amazing experience at the Boathouse Tikibar and Grill! The ambiance was fantastic, with a stunning view of the water and a relaxed, tropical atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious; I couldn't get enough of their fresh seafood and creative cocktails. I can't wait to visit again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience by the water.

This bar was certainly something different. There was a nice welcoming feeling as you entered and passed the saltwater pool. We were seated after barely even a wait ( I am sure this is not always the case). We ordered drinks which included a white wine sangria and bloody Mary as well as some shots of peanut butter whiskey. I placed an order of gator bites and tried the snapper as my entree. All of the food was delicious and after our meal the staff were very nice and let us sit on the dock to enjoy the sunset as we digested our food. I would highly recommend stopping in here and checking it out. I'm on a short vacation with friends and family and am happy to have crossed this off the list.

We stopped in for lunch and we were quickly shown to a table. I ordered a jalapeno mule and it was the best. Both of our lunches were hot and tasty. Our particular table had more of a view of the big boats and less of the river, but you could still tell you were on the water. Seems like it would be a really fun place in hot weather and sitting in their pool area.

We all enjoyed what we ordered. The atmosphere was great, nice view, awesome table, people were kind.
I ordered the mahi mahi blackened tacos and ordered the mango salsa on the side due to the cilantro with a cucumber salad as a side. Everything was great and so tasty.
The only thing we didn't get was no refills of water or drinks were offered to us. I finished my meal without a drink and couldn't ask for it since we saw the waitress once the whole time. I know everyone was busy but checking on customers and pouring some water should be a natural thing. Overall we had a great time.

The Boathouse Tiki Bar is a big, charming, very busy, open air restaurant. We enjoyed the live music, the classic Old Florida/ island themed decor, the views and the food and drinks. We docked our boat at the marina overnight.

HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE!! My first time, our waitress was “savannah” and she was amazingly nice a great server. The environment was the best I could ask for. And the food made everything so much better! Prices aren’t bad either! I highly recommend!!

Outdoorsy, Floribama Tiki style ambiance. Twin bars (west and east along river) with TVs hung for viewing sports. Could smell cigarette smoke drift by our table. Fried foods (shrimp and grouper) were OK. French fries were hard (may have been old and simply reheated, don't know). Cuban sandwich was delicious. Nice, diverse grill menu. Servers seemed either preoccupied or disinterested, had no enthusiasm; didn't bring napkins or silverware, I had to walk to bar to ask bartender for both AFTER food was delivered to table.

Got there right at opening (11 am). Does fill up fast around 12. It is a lot of fun, the marina vibe is great, the pool seems like it would be a lot of fun on a hot day. The fried shrimp was great, and the shrimp and grits were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the live band was such a great complement. They have beautiful views all over the restaurant and also have a pool to refresh.

This is a fantastic casual place to have some good food and a drink. Right next to the river. Excellent service. The bartender Alex is super nice and personable. TVs everywhere for all kinds of sports watching. The place has one whole side completely non-smoking, which is a huge plus in this state. They even have a swimming pool that you can get into to enjoy your day and your drink. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. The food was very good. The free for all seating is not good. We spent 45 minutes running from here to there hoping we could find a table to free up. Finally finding a table for the 4 of us in the pool area with the kids. Our server, Serenity, was fabulous. Took really great care of us. Then the rain came. She tried rally hard to find us a place to sit and eat or food. No luck finding anything for us we finally had to retreat to the entrance foyer to finish eating standing up while people waited for the rain to stop so they could get to their cars.
Not sure we will make it back. Please change the way seating is done to what a normal restaurant does and we may come back and bring more friends with us. Thanks Serenity for all you did for us.

The place is amazing! Loved the atmosphere and the live music. Such a positive vibe! This is why you come to Florida, and Southwest Florida (especially the Fort Myers area) was missing a super awesome place like this!! We are happy it’s now open. Our server was Jarrett and he provided us with exemplary service! He was kind, respectful, very knowledgeable and attentive, and just plain old cool! Drinks and food was great! We will be back very often & hope to see Jarrett and the rest of the great staff there!! Perfect place to catch a sporting event, have a fantastic drink, or chill at or take a dip in the pool with drink in hand or poolside on a mega hot typical Summer day. Wanted to get a t-shirt there but I think they are just slightly over priced. Maybe another time. Thanks and way to go guys!!

The food was amazing. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Our server, Nicole, was a gem! Drinks were top notch! The music was wonderful...very relaxing and the performer was easy on the eyes! We will definitely be back.

Had a great first experience. Atmosphere was great, fun, exciting, and lively. Kids loved the pool. Being that it was the grand opening, it was crowded, and seats were limited but we were able to get some drinks from the bar quickly and roam the grounds to check it all out. We were able to retrieve a table at the pool shortly after arriving. The food was good and service was fast. Especially loved the music. We will be back.

We went their with friends yesterday and had a wonderful time. There was a storm and the staff was so accommodating. Yes, we got a little wet, but we didn't care, the atmosphere was great. We had grouper bites, chili, and curly cheese fries. Our friends had grouper bites and cuban sandwiches. The beer was cold and their mixed drinks were excellent with fruit garnishes. Jarrett was our server and he was wonderful. We all can't say enough good things about him. All of the staff was working to keep everyone happy. Despite all of the wind and rain, the staff was cheerful and well trained. All of the food we saw come out looked delicious. We can't wait to go back and will definitely take out of state visitors. So glad this is in our community. Great place for our Sunday Funday!!!

This is a very nice place to go for dinner have a couple drinks. The food was good. Our waitress was very friendly and took good care of us. It’s first come first serve so if you go recommend going early evening. Great atmosphere! Would definetly go back .
Theresa Lancaster
Very busy. But, didn't take long to get a table. Our server, Emily, was great! Even when our group expanded she handled it all with ease. Had the cuban, was delicious! Husband had the shrimp basket and enjoyed it as well. Had the Strawberry Shakeup, yum!!! Will definitely be back.

The location is fantastic and the place looks amazing. I did not like the seat yourself part because there were so many people waiting for a table or a place to sit. So you either have to ask the people at the table if you can have theirs when they are done ( which is rude) or hope you can get lucky and grab one before someone else does. Also thought $4 for a can of beer was a bit high so just a bit pricey for me. I hope they can work out the kinks because could be a great place to go.
Jeanne Schaeffer-Genton
I have been there 2x already and I love the atmosphere and live music. I am so excited to have a place that is fun with good food close to home. My only complaint is the seating. I hated people hovering over me waiting for me to get up. I think during busy hours they should have a hostess seat the tables. Other than that I love it!
Desiree Meoli Ratliff
The open seating system is not good. Tried to go for lunch and all tables were full most people just sitting around with no food or drinks at tables. Maybe they need to reconsider the seating arrangements.

I went there with a couple fellas on opening day in our jet skies and it was very nice, they have free dock witch is a plus, the drinks and food on point. The staff very profesional and a big smile. Pool side it’s very nice as well. 10 of 10
