Absolutely terrible service. First, they tell you that you can only buy an alcoholic beverage with the purchase of food. Which is fine if you’re hungry...They’ll explain how it’s now a “regulated rule” at the end of the pier to purchase food, but inform you that if you only want a drink you can purchase one in the main dining area (still on the pier but closer to the beginning).Because I already had lunch, I decided to order a side or a kids meal in order to “have a food purchase”. This doesn’t work for the restaurant, as they say they can’t do that and it has to be a full meal purchased.If you have a party of three - all THREE have to buy a meal from the menu in order to purchase an alcoholic drink (not just one meal to share). The cheapest item is a small salad $7+ tax. The drinks aren’t strong and taste like juice.The only “reason” they have implemented this rule, as told to us by the server, is because their alcohol sales are higher than their food sales (well, duh - you’re a BAR at the end of the pier.) The middle area of the pier is owned by “Pelican’s” and you can order as many drinks without food as you want. Plus, you have a better view of the surfers in the middle of the pier. It’s cool if you want to say you’ve ate at the end of the pier but other than that - would not recommend.

Im in love!!! Best seared ahi tuna I have had in years! Alcoholic drinks were just right, not too heavy, not too light. They put the same amount of effort in their virgin drinks. Amazing views, great service and delicious meals!!! I will definitely be craving more tuna!

This is the cutest little spot at the end of the pier. Such great views of the ocean! Delicious drinks! Right now with everything being unknown I appreciate that they promote social distancing and safety measures during the pandemic.

As locals we venture here once in a while just to check it out when not crowded with non locals. Today food was cold when arrived but taste ok. Drinks were weak and no straws available. No menus you have to view on your phone. No limes for drinks either, had to use lime juice. Only bright spot was bar tender Jen who is always pleasant and efficient.

Every time I visit Orlando, I spend one afternoon drinking a beer or a cocktail in this place. The views are amazing and it could be a very relaxing option to enjoy the sea and the sunset. During some hours it could be very crowded but with patient you can find a good seat. Some days it has live music, the staff is attentive and the prices are ok. Be prepared to paid $2 for each adult at the pier entrance but you can use each token you get as a $2 credit when you pay at the bar. Additionally during the day the parking rate is $20 but it is free after 5 PM.

Really enjoyed the service here yesterday. We felt so safe with all of the Westgate Cares procedures currently in place. They’re doing socially distant tables so we got to experience the beauty of the ocean while feeling safe.

Food & drinks here are overpriced and they’re poor quality. They are also extremely unfriendly toward Asian customers. They constantly ignored us and kept rolling their eyes at us whenever we would ask for something (even though we only asked them 2 times throughout our time there). Please be aware & avoid this place if you don’t want to be discriminated!!

How can anyone complain about this place. I ordered the lobster sandwich which was great with a healthy serving of lobster. The view was great and got to see a rocket launch. Service was also good considering they were packed.

What looks to be the cutest little bar at the end of the pier requires an entree to purchase a drink. Unfortunately both the food, the drinks and the service wasnt worth the walk to the end of the pier....where they run you off if you dont buy something. Grab a dog at the pier entrance... awesome!

Sitting on the pier for an evening dinner with family here was spectacular. The menu was limited (but Im not sure if thats always or due to covid Ive seen places doing this) but the food was still good! Our service was excellent and if we are back to cocoa beach would dine here again!

This place is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. There is a USD $2.00 fees to get in the Rikki Tiki Tavern however you can get the $$ money back when you purchase drinks or food. Food is mediocre. The staff are very friendly. Most of them works by contract from different countries.Highly suggested when your exploring Florida.

From the bar: Frozen drinks are weak; regular mixed drinks are disgusting! Very poor bartending skills!!!Food: Mediocre at best!! Burgers are very bland, if it wasnt for the excessive grease they wouldnt have a flavor at all! Fries are edible!

One if my favorite views in Cocoa Beach. Be careful, the drinks are strong and masked with fruit cocktail. The hangover will be real and you might go skinny dipping in the ocean that night.

Amazing food, loved eating out on the pier and overlooking the waves. I got the wings and they were the best wings Ive ever had tbh. Definitely recommend

Nice bar to drink and relax with friends. Beautiful spot to watch the sunrise.

Get the chowder.!!!..my husband Greg said hamburger was average....Gail ordered crab cakes...thumbs down..tasted very fishy like...view is beautiful.We can get same oceanfront dining at Shucker s Jensen Beach..and food is excellent

My friends and I went to enjoy the view and have to some drinks, we order and a person that I suppose is one of the manager,his name Tim Allen , say to us that we need to leave if we don’t seat , my friends and I felt his discrimination and bad attitude towards us, the bartender and the girls were veery nice to us , so be careful if you don’t look American he’ll treat you nasty

Great place to have some evening fun. Have some drinks and do some fishing.Happy hour prices are good. The sea food sampler platter was pretty good too.Dock hand helped me try and land a pretty good size ray off the pier.

Situated at the very end of Cocoa beach pier, this bar has the best views. Its usually very windy though so be prepared to let your hair be a beachy mess. The drinks are good. Full bar selection but be prepared to wait a while on hot summer days. This bar gets very busy.

The Cocoa Beach Pier is touristy, but if you do go then Id recommend Rikki Tiki Tavern because youll have fantastic views of the Atlantic and will be able to watch the surfers do their thing on the waters. Try to go when parking is free (usually after 4:00 pm M-F and 5:00 pm weekends) otherwise youll end up spending about $15-20. Its an additional $2.00 to get into this area, but youll get a token to receive $2.00 off of a drink at the bar. You could avoid this just by staying on the main pier area, but something about being underneath a thatched-roof and having a cold one seems so right in this area.They have food for purchase and every now and then will have some live entertainment to add to the atmosphere. The food is simple, but tasty and comes from their main kitchen to your location in a covered plastic container. I ended up getting their Grilled Pineapple Chicken Wrap with a side of potato salad (other options include chips, fruits salad, or slaw). Overall, it was exactly what I wanted and had a good amount of chicken in it compared to the vegetables and wrap itself.

Great place to watch the sunrise at the ocean in Cocoa Beach, Florida or have a drink and enjoy the salt air. Photograph surfers or get a close up look at some pelicans. Get the launch schedule and maybe see a rocket go up.

Staff unfriendly and discriminated against asian patrons, family of 6 asians were told that they cannot move chairs to the table of 4 seats. When they left, another family of whites did the same and they were allowed. Such double standards and blatant discrimination. This is not what we need in time like this!

Great view! Great staff & delicious cocktails!! The limited menu was also very great!

Very nice place !!!If you come to Florida you most make a stop in this place .Super top

Great drinks, great views and great costumer service! Prices are not that great though...

Food was ok, view was better. Its a PITA to get to it through the back alleys of the boardwalk, I dont know how they get much business being hidden like that

The waiter apple Aquino did a outstanding service. Friendly and professional. Very good service. The food is very good and the experience was fantastic. The view and location Beautiful. Great place to drink and relax. Will recommend to friends and family.

Delicious food and great staff and beautiful view

What a great spot to relax! Reasonably priced drinks and the best view around! Josh behind the bar was quick to offer a Bahama Mama, and was great conversation too!Ill be sure to come back next time Im in the area!

Love this place! It is an amazing atmosphere and fantastic staff! Sitting out on the pier and enjoying everything around you is the best way to end a day! We even saw dolphins playing in the waves! Definitely check it out!

Good food and excellent service, the view from the pier lovely.

Amanda was our server and she was AMAZING. We sat right at the railing and enjoyed the view and friendship, and she was always within reach to bring us drinks.. shots.. or just give us a high five and a smile. We are bartenders, and we have been in the game for awhile. Hang on to that girl.. she is a gem in the hospitality industry!

Apple was our server - she was great! We only got one drink, but she was quick with the initial greet and menu. Our drinks were fast and delicious (Rum Runner and a Key Lime). The whole bar moves with each passing wave which is a little off putting at first. Great views as well! Definitely worth the stroll out to the end of the pier, they also had live music starting up (5:00 on a Friday).

Delicious food! Will keep coming here

Always excellent service!! Try the Tiki Dogs and the voodoo bucket.

Very romantic and relaxing place to spend the sunset at. Food was good but could be better.

We walked in on a Tuesday night to a busy house but no wait for 5. Some how we got placed in the best seat in the house. The food was average. Weve all had better versions at other places, but also had worse. Price is what you would expect at a beach restaurant, a little higher than your average chain. But overall it was a nice place. Too windy for us to go out to the end of the deck but the view of the beach from the corner was awesome. The drink we ordered was phenomenal. Berried pleasure. Check the menu. Worth it. Had some trouble on service but I think that was situational so I wont hold it against them. Great way to treat ourselves after a long vacation.

Good drinks, and the best view around.

Awesome place... great drinks.. friendly friendly.. love it!

Seated and served patrons who arrived after POC patron. Repulsive.

Great view at the end of the pier. Really a relaxing place. Check for happy hour drink and food specials. Fun to watch people fishing on the pier, but have not seen any fish caught.

My husband and I could’ve sat here all day!! Music, friendly people and great drinks! Gorgeous views and loved watching the dolphins! Can’t wait to come back!!

This is my getaway from everything. Picture ur self surrounded by ocean all you can hear is the waves under you and the wind blowing in your hair sipping on ur favorite drink. Yeah, you need to visit here ^.^

$15 to park and you’ll get free access to the pier which give you access to Rikki Tiki. Let’s face it. You’re already $15 bucks in, you know you’re going to pay a fortune for what’s about to go down. Just grab a seat, order several cocktails (the buzz will help you forget about the price), order some somewhat decent food, and enjoy the hell out of the view. You came here for the experience and you’re paying for it, might as well enjoy it.

Interesting place to see a wide range of people/tourists visiting the area. Cackles and pigeons troll the peer stealing unwary fishermens bait or walk under foot at bar stools seeking dropped victuals. Surfers below. Cruise ships from port Canaveral cruise out. Sea turtles swim in a lay eggs. Cool venue. Parking on public meters is cheaper but rare to find vacant on a bright sunny day. The peer parking lot is a flat $20 fee per day. Not enough entertainment at this end of peer venue but at entry to peer is an affiliate venue that oft has live music. People and critter watching in a relaxed setting is the best entertainment.

Perfect place to have a drink and watch the waves come rolling in

We enjoy every time we come here. Mike specifically was extremely attentive and friendly! Best seafood dip around!!

10/30/2019. Approximately 1:50 pmThe young man taking the passes went out of his way to be rude/snarky. Fortunately for him, it only resulted in us leaving. Unfortunately, his employer lost business.Note: I always go out of my way to be polite when dealing with any and everyone. So his actions were unwarranted and deliberate. If he would like to deny any of this, I am HAPPY to return and relate VERBATIM what was said.

Loved this spot! I go to Cocoa beach often but first time going to Riki Tiki Tavern, and I got to say that I will be going back every time I go to Cocoa Beach area. First, the view! Amazing. Second, Customer Service was the best. Josh took great care of us. Always making sure we had everything we needed. By far, best customer service I have received in Florida!! I do have to say that the Boneless Wings I order were salty. Also, they need to put more items for finger food. Other than that, loved it. Prices are great. That was a surprise since its a By the water (or in this case above the water) spot.

Great place to watch a sunset on the Cocoa beach pier. .

Great food in a beautiful location.

The problem with this place is the service and the employees who provide it. Lets use Aaron as an example. So eager was he to take his break (between complaining about management) that he forgot a couple of ingredients in a drink, then claimed that there were no straws in the establishment. No...straws...in a bar. The straws were two feet away from me and I was starting at them. Here scarfed down some food in front of patrons and returned to complaining.This is absolutely normal for most employees here, especially those put out by customers interrupting their social time.Two stars for views and atmosphere.

Best spot for a drink or meal on Cocoa Beach! Apple, our server, had spot on recommendations. 360° views of the Atlantic. Great for families too.

Drinks were great, view was great. The bartender Mike was amazing! Only reason it’s not a 5 star is the specialty drinks are a bit pricey for my taste.

Awesome place, good food, fun in the sun. Awesome views of the beach, surfers, sunrises, even launches and cruise ships.

Fantastic place to visit on Cocoa beach pier. Bar area overlooking the sea is just gorgeous. Plenty of options for adults and young children. Do not forget to grab a souvenir tiki cup.

Amanda was amazing!! I came out with my husband and our buddy and had the best time!!! We’ve came out previous and I do believe that our server made the difference this time!! Thanks girl!!

Great service and friendly bartenders!!! Best spot ever

Its exactly what it should be. The wings are very good.

Spent New Years Eve with Aaron and Gina, our fun bartenders at the Riki Tiki on Cocoa Beach Pier. Wonderful experience and such friendly yet professional service. Manager Andrew chased us down on the pier when we had walked away without our bag. THANK YOU!!! We felt like old friends when we returned on New Years Day for sunny times, drinks and snacks. Love this place.

Very disappointed. It took more than 1 hr 15 min to get our food (it was 7:15pm, not busy). When the food did arrive, our chicken wraps were all lettuce with 4 tiny pieces of chicken. The coleslaw was warm, wilty and bland and the potato salad was warm and lacking any flavor. Dont waste your time or money!

Beautiful place but we couldnt get any service. We flagged someone down and she said she would be back but no one showed. We choose another resturant

Awesome ocean views, great selection of drinks, and the music selections were the best I heard from all the spots we visited. The place can get quite busy, but once youre there it all makes sense.

Loved sitting and watching the water here. The drinks were perfect.

Don’t recommend.

Talking about a relaxing atmosphere, its here. The staff were very inviting and ready to serve you a nice variety of drinks and a limited but satisfying food menu.

Came here with my husband and parents. Ordered a few drinks. My parents felt like their drinks were just juice and no alcohol. The crab and seafood dip was alight, but not fan really a fan of imitation crab meat. Service was slow and impersonal. The best thing about this place is the views of the ocean.

I would rate a 0 if I could. Here’s why:1). We waited over an hour for our chicken sandwiches (not hard to make/most definitely doesn’t take an hour to make) and the table behind us got sat and had their food within 15 minutes.2). Our waitress didn’t check on us or refill our drinks until after we complained about not getting our food.3). After the hour wait, THEY BROUGHT US HAVE OF OUR FOOD TOTALLY INCORRECT. Instead of a burger for one of my family members they brought a hot dog.4). Our food was totally cold when it finally came out of the kitchen.5). One of the waiters set our food down on the bar and it took our waitress 10 mins (after she was talking to some people who came by to see her did) did she realize that it was actually our food.6). The manager was not helpful at all and would not do anything to help the situation unless pestered to.I would say go else where. They are rude and do not seem to care about their customers.

One of my favorite places to go when I visit cocoa beach

Incredible location. Great place to sip drinks while relaxing and listening to ocean and beach sounds.The drinks themselves are good. Most of their specialty cocktails are of the fruity, tropical variety. This is not a place you order a manhattan or pick from an exhaustive list of craft brews. But thats okay, because the location is amazing and the fruity cocktails fit the scene well.

The views and ambiance were amazing. Service was excellent as well. Prices were very reasonable (less than $10 for mixed drinks, $4 for tap beer, $13 for a large chicken wrap with a large portion of fruit), particularly given the location. They also have a happy hour at 4pm with half priced beer.I dropped the review by a star because the mixed drinks were poor. We tried the Ice Pick and the Bahama Mama. The ice pick was nearly undrinkable (poor taste). I give the server credit for recognizing this and not charging us. However the Bahama Mama was only marginally better.This place has loads of potential, but needs to get better mixed drinks. Until then, stick with beer.Note: you do need to pay $2/person to get to the end of the pier (where the bar is located), however, you do get a $2/person credit off your bar bill.

Came here on vacation and this was a wonderful addition to the pier! Feels like youre floating on water and the food was so good. However, I did not like that you have to pay to go onto the pier. Only negative feedback. Otherwise, we will absolutely be back!

Cocoa Beach Pier had several restaurants to eat and nice place to hang out

Great drinks and atmosphere! The view is outstanding too! Very friendly bartenders and servers. We just love our bartender Sue.

Pretty decent food and drinks were strong too. Long wait time though when its busy.

Came here looking for food but all we saw was alcohol. Unsure if we went to the wrong place but google had told us this place serves food. Aside from that a cool view! Very very crowded tho it was a Saturday afternoon. Live music was cool.

Great atmosphere, and great views. Our server was slammed, but managed to take great care of us. The local beer was on special, and brewed just down the street.

Cozy spot at the end of the pier with a limited menu.

Was there over the weekend and thought that it was extremely busy but people seem to enjoy what they had I was going to order a drink but the wait time was too long

The drinks are horrible! I ordered a frozen margarita, it tasted like alcohol with colored water. I returned my drink and got a Malibu rum on the rocks, as soon as the ice melted a little bit it made the drink taste bad. The four stars are for the atmosphere and service. I will probably only order bottled drinks next time.

They took great care of us. At the very end of the pier with and awesome view. Started storming to the point we didnt want to leave and they were sure to take care of everyone seeking shelter. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Nice place to check out friends fly staff 6dollar beer tho

It is with great dispair that I cannot leave zero because that is what they earned. It was not busy, plenty of open tables and my wife and I sat down at the end of the pier and waited 15 minutes. I know it was 15 minutes because about five songs played through while we were waiting. Nobody came to greet us or to even hand us a menu. No signs of life and seeming zombified wait staff running around aimlessly but not accomplishing much. After another ten minutes straight of staring and glaring and trying to make eye contact with a server and almost leaving I finally got one to look at me and I waved her over hands high in the air. Finally she brought us two menus and said someone is coming. Another eight minutes and we said forget it. The servers all standing at their POS station clueless. Im a line chef at Disney Orlando and we create magic for each and every one of our guests, not expecting our level of service at the Rikki Tiki, but I expected at least a customary level of acceptable service. I do not wish for a rote reply response from management or PR from this establishment, nor do I want a coupon or a comped meal, believe me when I say we wont be back to use it, this is a courtesy to management to let them know they have to do better than this if they want their restaurant to stay open.

The bartenders were a little overworked but otherwise friendly. It cost $2 per person to get out to the tavern however it is exchanged for a token good for that amount off your bill. I recommend the burgers they are juicy and cooked to perfection. My raspberry mojito was a little weak and had a bit too much ice for my liking but the flavor was amazing. If you are looking for an ocean view look no further as you are surrounded on all sides by it. I believe pier parking is free after 5 or so. There are other shops and another restaurant on the pier just follow the signs and enjoy the view

Great place to eat, drink and relax

Absolutely great! They are hard working & efficient. This is the 2nd time we came, they had an event so it was more busy than normal I reckon but those bartenders worked their tails off with a smile & personality. Food was great too

Overpriced and they didn’t have half of the ingredients for the drinks - but still charged full price. two stars given it’s a cool location but not worth eating or staying for more than 1 drink.

My wife and I really enjoy going to Rikki Tiki for drinks and watching the sunset. Very nice atmosphere.

Freakin awesome..

Loved the view , light snacks were nice. We dont drink alcohol, but their virgin drinks were good

Great view and service!

Nice tiki bar at the end of the pier. Weak drinks. Expensive parking, or steep admission fee. I dont know the area, but there is almost certainly a nice bar with a view near by, that doesnt charge so much and try to trick you into a time share presentation.

Ive never been more turned off by service, or lack thereof. It was a beautiful, sunny, breezy Sunday afternoon around 3pm. We sat at a table right away because it didnt seem too busy. The views were spectacular. We were all in happy vacation mode. There were probably 3 servers around and it took 20 minutes for anyone to even give us eye contact. When a gal finally came over to greet us, she gave us menus and didnt even take our drink orders or get us water. When she returned 10 minutes later, she made it sound like she only wanted to take our drink order, but we wanted to order right away because who knew when she would be back next. She was perturbed that we ordered food and the first item we ordered she said I think were out of that and abruptly walked away to check. She disappeared for several minutes, delivered checks and drinks to other guests and finally came back to break the bad news that they were out. She was incredibly unapologetic. If we had had good service from the beginning, that wouldnt have been a deal breaker. We werent in a hurry at all. It was just too many strikes so we left.We understand that things can get hectic at a tourist destination restaurant. But we should have been greeted right away or at least with a friendly smile letting us know theyd be right with us. Hand us menus and satisfy our thirst with water and itd be as simple as that. If a server feels slammed communicate that to us!! It feels a lot better to get some honesty than being quite obviously avoided. How you treat people has a ripple effect. People save up a lot of money for vacations like this! It would be a shame for an experience like this to ruin their perception of Cocoa Beach. Please consider training your staff a little better so the good vibes and energy can spread faster than negativity and hangry feelings.

Beautiful view with great taste️

Best view ever

Had to ask for service, over priced,server was friendly. We ended up going elsewhere after our first drinks. It is a good place to drop in by if you are a tourist. Just to say you did it.

Excellent views, decent food, great service. $$$

Nice tiki bar at the end of the Cocoa Beach pier. Good food. Average service.

The view is awesome. Granted we heard they just opened 2 months ago and they were busy but they all seem to run around like chickens with their heads cut off. Waited for ever to pay out tab. Managers standing around not much help. Also their daily special drink tasted watered down. I hope the get their act together because the bar and location is really nice.

Love the view this place has for sure! I’m glad they’ve expanded for more seating and a bigger bar. The alcohol selection isn’t the greatest pretty limited. The staff is wonderful though super nice
