Cliff Notes Price Range: $$Parking: PlentyPerk: View (If you sit outside) Non-Perk: Time limit on seatsAmbiance: Beach barDress: CasualNoise: MediumTemperature: Depends on the weather Recommend: 100%Date: 09/19/2024Dissertation: We walked into The Beach Tiki Bar & Boil ready for a casual, relaxing day by the water, and the vibe was exactly that--fun, chill, and a little beachy without leaving the lake. The view added to the whole "mini-vacation" feel, and while the service didn't blow us away, it was good enough for a laid-back night.We ordered the fish and chips--because who doesn't want some seafood with their "beach" experience, right? It was solid, crispy, and satisfying--definitely better than your average fried fish plate. No complaints from us!Now, the drinks? That's where the magic happened! The Caribbean Crush and Blueberry Breeze hit us like a warm tropical breeze. After two sips, we were convinced we were lounging on a sandy shore with palm trees swaying above. Honestly, the drinks did such a good job tricking our brains, we were expecting to find sand in our shoes when we left.In short, come for the view and drinks, and stay for the surprisingly good fish and chips.

Salad was good!! Lettuce was fresh and fish was good. I don't think it was worth $20 (super overpriced menu in total) but still good. Wine was ehhh and only 1 option for Pinot Grigio which was kinda odd. The patio was SOOOOO nice to sit at with friends, the best part for sure!! Service was great, a bit slow but suuuper kind will be back but maybe during happy hour because quality just didn't match the price.

Labor Day 2024..... couldn't be a more gorgeous weather day. Lunch out on the patio, overlooking the water was amazing. The view alone is a five-star rating. We also rode bikes from West Bloomfield Trail and the Tiki Bar is an easy 1/2 mile ride from the trail. Great location. The day was young; the place was just opening. The staff were all in jovial moods and fun to talk to. They were attentive throughout our meal. Another five-star rating. We ordered three entrees and each of us agreed our food was solidly average. Nothing spectacular but no complaints either. My husband and I shared the jumbo shrimp boil with garlic butter sauce and spice on the side. Large portion and well prepared. Our friends had lobster roll with fries and the ahi salad. They both said there was a general lack of flavor though the entrees looked tasty and were fine: three-stars-4 stars The tab was a decent price given the higher prices we are now accustomed to paying. Be aware that the 18% gratuity is already added into the balance. We typically tip 20% or more for good service so this practice seems like it might actually not be the best for their wait staff, whose personalities seem like they would draw higher tips. Eating inside, the ambience might not be so inviting. It looked like a typical sports bar. The views make this place.

Must say it was a pleasant surprise to comeback to this place to find they have new menu options for lunch and dinner, not that old menu wasn't good but certainly a bit of a change was needed. I simply loved the Chicken Tika Masala, absolutely delicious. They also removed the policy for adding tip right away to the bill. Love this place no matter the season

Came in here for a quick meal and some vibes by the water and they gave just that. There was only me and one other table on the outside patio and they were super nice to me, especially with me being alone. The $3.50 drinks on happy hour SOLD ME. i got a cute soup and salad situation and I was very satisfied. My waitress was super chill. I loved everything about this place. I would love to come back and get a seafood boil when I have real time to sit down and enjoy my experience there.

We ordered lobster tacos and shrimp crackers. It was our first time having lobster tacos and they were a little chewy for our taste. Shrimp was really tasty. Ambiance - Really pleasant views facing the lake. Get the outdoor seating. They have a glass wall, so it's not fully open and stays warm. We loved it. They also have a band playing indoors. Service - Was quick and nice Parking - Available

I really do like this spot. However, last time I went the hostess was CRANKY. It set a really bad tone. We ended up spending $350 but her attitude really left me with a bad taste. The food, however, is yummy. The chicken on the chicken & waffles is delish. The lobster bites are yummy. My family said the gumbo was great too. The view is amazing. They just need to fine tune the customer relations. I didn't appreciate feeling like "the bad guy" the minute I walked in.

This is the perfect spot on a beautiful evening. We were a little hesitant, as the 2-star review with very mixed Yelp reviews almost kept us away. In the end, due to the location and it was a birthday celebration, we decided to try it. The food was delicious and the view was awesome! Service was inexperienced, and the server made it clear she was just there in between school. She didn't seem to know much about the menu or the area, and they didn't offer up anything special for a birthday celebration. We went elsewhere for dessert. Fortunately the view sells itself and the food was excellent. The seafood boil was very different and made for a fun meal.

Such a good place for a nice view and good food! The waiter was super sweet and the place was clean and decorated nicely. It was pricey but the lobster mac n cheese was good and creamy. The fish was seasoned and the fish and chips were nice and buttery. The cajun mac n cheese was the best dish. It was creamy and seasoned and super good definitely recommend it. The portions were pretty big even for the lunch size. Overall a pretty nice place to eat!
