Rikki Tiki Tavern Reviews

Great view, and Gina was the best server ever! Such a great attitude and so patient with our party. The classic margarita was excellent - do not miss it if you like margaritas! Everyone’s meal was delicious. Enough said :-)

This place is absolutely gorgeous. Located at the end of the pier it's the perfect place for lunch on a hot day. Food was great and server Ashley W. was polite and attentive.

Enjoyed afternoon drinks at the Tiki bar. Beautiful location as the sun was setting. Definitely has to be a part of a Cocoa Beach visit.

Nice open and breezy place to eat. Grouper sandwich is good. The music was relaxing and nice to listen to. Menu was not extensive.

my favorite go to spot in coca beach, grab a cocktail and a bite to eat and enjoy the great ocean views, wait staff are awesome and will suggest something to drink if you are unsure. You definately need to check it out for a good time..

You just can’t beat this location- suspended over water with waves pounding the supports as you sip your cocktail and scan the blue horizons- as well as people attempting to surf. Service is good -musicians often present just add to the atmosphere. Drinks are ok.

The view is beautiful. The waves were soothing, the music was low enough to enjoy them. Friendly atmosphere. Good food. Good drinks. Highly recommend!

Very good happy hour and poolside service. We visit every time we go to Florida. We love the singers and the margaritas,

Good view of the beach and the surfers struggling to catch a wave. OK drinks-a bit weak. Interesting photos and stories telling the story of the town and the pier.

It's a very relaxing place and the food was great! Thankyou Jason for the great service and friendly attitude!

The good:
Six of us in all arrived about an hour before closing. We sat at the bar at the end of the pier. We ordered food and drinks. It was very busy, all tables and bar stools were taken. The bartenders did an excellent job of keeping everyone in drinks. They were upbeat and friendly. You couldn't ask for better service. The view was beautiful. There was an awesome breeze coming through.

The bad:
The draft beer was not cold. It was a very warm day out but I took a drink as soon as the bartender sat in down, and it wasn't even cold to begin with. The food was okay. I ordered Burnt ends mac n cheese with onion straws. The small square tasteless chunks of beef wasn't what I was expecting when I read burnt ends. I asked for the BBQ sauce that was supposed to be drizzled over it to be on the side. I'm glad I did. It looked and tasted more like thousand island dressing than BBQ sauce.

The food here is really bad. The hamburger is dry. The crab dip is cold and tastes like it came out of a can. The margarita was watered down. The wings taste like McNuggets. Just truly awful.

Great experience with Harnes for lunch today. He was very attentive and anticipated all our needs. He was amazing!!! Highly recommend the Tikki Bar.

Nice place to eat, wonderful to sit out on the pier eating and drinking and listening to the waves. You can watch the fisherman fish and have full view of the beach. Food ok, basket food, pricy for what it is. Service can be quite slow

Had a great time at the tikki bar w a friend and enjoyed their Watermelon Mint cocktail. If you get sea sick and the waves are big that day, stay away. We could feel the dock move at times.

After a Disney cruise on which I treated my son, daughter in law and four grandchildren under the ages of seven and one, my family went to Disney and I went to Coco Beach.for three wonderful days. I ate at the Rikki Tiki three times. The bartenders,Sue and Gina were fantastic. They handled the entire restaurant and full bar with out a hitch. They were always professional and always had a smile on their faces.I will return.

The views are 5 star! Loved watching people fish and surf. Only gave this 3 stars because it was NOT crowded at all and we had to beg for drinks. Not cool. FYI...it cost $2 per person to get on the pier, but you can cash the tokens in when you go to pay. They act as cash towards your bill.

We had the best server Harness at Rikki Tikki. He was amazing and helped us make the best choice for our food and drinks while providing an outstanding atmosphere. Hands down one of the best waiters we have had on our trip. Next time ask for him!!!!!!

Get a ticket stub from the souvenir shop and wander all the way down to the pier to sit and enjoy a Pina Colada or beer and watch the waves, the surfers, the fisherman or even Einstein, the pelican!!

Great stop

A very pleasant open air tiki bar at the end of the pier with drinks, casual food and a spectacular view of the Atlantic. I was dithering between a 4 or 5 star rating, but the Asst.Food and Beverage Manager, Donna Wallace, was so friendly and informative, I have to go with the 5 star rating. Thank you Donna. Has a good size oval bar and has plenty of seating at the protective rail to sip a drink. Small tables are available for casual dining. The bartenders are great.

Went to Cocoa Beach on vacation. Had done my homework and put this tavern on my list. Got to pier and found you have to complete the maze to get there. So: breathtaking views-very cute bar-Great staff-shout out to Gina for being so welcoming. Rikki Tiki Tavern is actually a must visit in Cocoa Beach.

Brits please be aware, we visited the beach bar on the 12.07.22 with my daughter who is 23. The waitress asked for her ID when we ordered a cocktail (which is fine as we expect this in Florida). They would not accept a British photo ID as proof of age although everywhere else this has been fine and after the Manger Brittany told us that this was not sufficient proof of ID even telling us the it was federal law and that a GB photo license was not acceptable, and we should have brought her passport (really to the beach) we were very much made to feel like second class citizens, please be aware.

Had an amazing time! Our server Tina was absolutely amazing, she was always there when we needed her, made sure we had everything just how we asked for it! Tina was extremely polite and professional! Her service made the experience here wonderful. She suggested the grouper sandwich and it was to die for! Amazing service, would highly recommend visiting them and ask for Tina! can’t wait to come back and see you!

Visiting for work and the experience was amazing. Sydney was a delight. We enjoyed every moment of being

Great view, friendly service. Galina was great! Has the shrip and krab dip. Nice texture, great flavor. Local beer on tap.

A friend recommended this place and so glad she did! Amazing views!! You have to pay $2 to get on the pier but you get it back off your bill once you purchase something. The service was wonderful. I highly recommend the fresh strawberry mojito. Our family of 6 all ate different things and everyone was full and happy. If I’m ever back in Cocoa Beach, this place is top on my list.

What a gem! Drinks were delicious! Food was incredible! I had the nachos, hubby had the wings! Oh my god. We watched the surfers, and sat under a umbrella. What a bucket list experience. Great pier, so much fun.

Have eaten here several times in the past while visiting Cocoa Beach used to be yummy...not even close now. First off as soon as we started walking up the pier we were “greeted” by a guy who handed us a brochure about the pier turns out he’s a shill for Westgate and was trying to hard sell us into having dinner at Westgate and insistent at trying to get us to go...offered 100$ for “only” listening to a 90 minute presentation-NO and did you hear us we said NO!!
Ordered drinks and the Pina Coladas tasted like they were virgins...boo! The lobster rolls that 4 of us ordered were awful(I’ve always ordered this every time and they used to be so good). The bottom of the bun was soggy, very little lobster, no flavor just such a disappointment. The coleslaw was runny and unappetizing! The chicken pineapple wrap was a whole lot of lettuce with a little dried chicken.
We spent 162$ on unappetizing, bland, disappointing food and drinks!! Only positive was the waiter Hesner(I think was his name) was amazing!! Attentive and super nice!
A side note...there was some fool on the pier fishing and he was back casting with no regard to the people walking past-almost hooked a lady in the face! Just ridiculous and the cherry on top of a “last time we’ll be here” lunch!

The restaurant is out over the water and very shady and breezy. I had the fish dip and jerk shrimp. Our server Katelyn was fantastic and made us feel right at home and not rushed. We will be back.

I understand the need to cram tables in, but there was very little room to maneuver around tables without hitting someone. Once we found a table, we were the ones getting hit. Food was average, drinks standard. Nothing really stands out besides the view.
There was live music there, which we had to move tables (once one opened) because we couldn’t hear anything but the speaker, and it was one person and a guitar.
Our waitress was great. Very customer service oriented and very personable.
Don’t get the “wings” or the tiny chicken nuggets. Not worth $12.95. Was horribly disappointed when it arrived. Looked like a kids McNugget meal from McDonald’s.
My wife had the burger and she enjoyed it, potato salad very bland.

This is a must stop for my husband and I when we travel to FL. Large bar right on the end of the pier. Great views and fun to watch surfers. Gina and Austin were great!

You can't avoid seeing the place from the beach so you will end up here eventually. Good place to get over the sticker shock at Ron Jons. Leave the kids at home and pick a Friday or Saturday afternoon into evening for the best experience. Lower your expectations for good service or good food and ask them to pour the liquor into a shot glass next to the drink, then pick a spot to watch the surfers as the alcohol buzz hits you. There is a walk to the bathroom.

The best hamburgers and potato salad on the pier! And the beer wasn’t bad either 😜. We had two of the best waiters in Florida but I don’t remember their names. The food was good fast and the waiter was on of our drinks... did I mention the sunset view!!!

The end of the Pier can be super windy, but it did not deter from the ambiance and service. The staff inside the Pier was pretty rude when I tried to just poke my head out to see the Pier on a day it wasn't open, but other than that, fun place to visit. One can watch the surfers from above while enjoying a drink, and the servers were friendly and quick. The actual tavern is larger than it looks from afar, with plenty of seating around the bar and at nearby tables.

As we haven't been to the pier in years, we decided to meet friends here for something different. It was a great place to experience the coast. There were awesome views of both people surfing close by and things happening up and down the coast. It isn't cheap, but as an occasional experience, it was fun.

We are local and always bring our guests here when they come for a visit.
Once again, Rikki Tiki did not disappoint. Megan L., our server, was awesome.
She made it a great experience for everyone. We enjoyed watching the active surfing and fishing while sipping on our favorite beverages.

Absolute rip off!
(pre) made plastic drinks at VERY inflated prices.
(they even take WATER off you before entering, despite my needing water)
Food was deep fried rubbish.

Service everywhere else in Cocoa was excellent, here the staff could not care less.
Entire place think YOU owe them a favour by being there.
Do NOT bother, and take your custom where it is appreciated.

We enjoyed this bar so much that we went twice while we were on our four-day trip to Cocoa Beach. The first time we went it was just me, my husband, and our son. We sat at the bar and had a round of fruity, delicious tiki drinks. The bartenders were very busy due to it being Memorial Day weekend, but they were still attentive and service was prompt. Then we just enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean. The next time we went, my brother and sister-in-law also joined us. We all sat at the bar. Our bartender, Jason, was awesome! He was friendly, funny, and gave us good recommendations for food and drinks. Three of us ordered the grouper sandwich and it was fantastic! We ended up closing the bar down and had a great time. If you are in Cocoa Beach, definitely make a trip to the Rikki Tiki Tavern!

Ocean front...can be windy We had two awesome clam chowders!
Greg said burger was average
Gail...crabcakes were fishy tasting

Fab place to sit and fee l the wind in your hair, watching the surf roll in with a beer in your hand

Lunch at the end of the pier. Not too hot, not too cold. Good service, good food. Husband and I had a very nice time. A little pricey because we paid $20 to park. Our vacation, and we had fun! Thought I had a picture:(

The view is perfect from the railing bar. These are prime seats so they can be hard to get. I didn't get to try the found as the service was awful. The second time we went here we had to get up and leave after waiting fifteen minutes for service. This might not have been bad but the waitress stopped at a table right behind us and didn't even acknowledge we were there.

Just arrived on holiday after 9 hour flight. Wanted a snack and this was very tasty. We had shrimp roll and coconut shrimp with some beers.
Great location . Nice to have the cooling breeze on the pier.
Enjoyed the music

Benches along the pier before you get here. People fishing or just sitting down watching the surfers .
At the end of the pier, is the Tavern.
Great drinks and appetizers.
Beautiful view and just sit to relax

Great experience overall and Jennifer was absolutely amazing!! Can’t wait to go back. Quick, tasty food and delicious drinks!

Great drinks, food, and service. Amazing location at the end of the pier and beautiful view. Taylor was an awesome server.

Anytime we vacation at Cocoa Beach we spend time at Rikki Tikki at the end of the Pier. Open air seating, good food, good drinks, and service has always been good. Great place to sit and watch people swim and surf. Also good for watching boat traffic. We've even spotted dolphins once or twice on previous visits.

We go for happy hour. The food is good. The drinks are good. On our last visit, our waitress Kat was excellent. The entertainment that night was John Nuggent. One of the best in our area.

Fun atmosphere at end of pier. Lots of food and drink options, friendly and helpful staff. Nice to enjoy views and sea breeze.

We stopped in for a quick beverage during the day, about 11am while touring the area, I had a bloody Mary, My husband a local beer and my parents had the strawberry smoothie, the wait staff was attentive and the view was amazing. They use pasta for the straws and we thought that was a good option over the paper ones. We very much enjoyed our visit.

Stopped in the evening for a drink and enjoyed watching the cruise ships in the distance. Beautiful breeze, great music. Fun atmosphere!

Harnes was the best server I ever had, food came quick, and the drinks absolutely slap, I’m hammered

We usually stay away from the touristy areas, but family is in town. Soooooo we said “what the heck” and tried it anyway. Glad we did. Great little gem. Perfect views of the Atlantic, couldn’t get any closer unless you were in the water. Amazing views of the cruise ships leaving the port. Sue, our sever was right on the money when she suggested the Rum Runner, best I’ve had in a long while. And with all the environment changes of plastic straws, they use pasta noodles!! Fun. Practical. Good for the fishes and edible!!! Great Idea!! Ever this was try it out.

I love local and i love going to the pier every now and then went for shrimp tacos and they were to die for !! My waitress Tina was amazing !! Definitely give her 5 stars and always ask for her when I’m there !! (:

Great time!! The bartenders are fantastic!! Gia and Sydney were very attentive and made us some fun drinks! Will be back for sure! Great for a beautiful day

This casual bar is really just the end of the pier, so the location makes it great. Drink specials daily, great service, nice breeze and an eclectic clientele. Fun.

A great beach restaurant

The worst part was finding a seat - but we managed!

The food was great & they were very accommodating for my GF daughter.

We enjoyed people watching and a few cold ones at this tiki bar. The staff were very friendly and we chatted with them for quite awhile.

Very cool view, drinks are pricey, but tasty at least. Very good service too. live music was a nice touch. Not too loud either.

Coconut shrimp had good flavor. Even non-alcoholic drinks are watered down. We went in the middle of the day and it was family friendly enough for a bar. Had to wait a minute for someone to leave to grab a seat.

We paid our $2 to get on the pier knowing we were going to grab some lunch and it was worth it!! You exchange your wooden token for $2 off your order so not losing anything!
We sat facing the ocean and it was glorious!! We saw a little dolphin giving us a little show for about 15 minutes. Watched the surfers and had a wonderful lunch! We ordered the grilled pineapple chicken wrap, pier burger and rikki tiki wings and a rum bucket for me!
Everything was eaten and nothing left! We loved the noodle straws! They ask if you want one so if you have a gluten allergy I would double check the options.

Great place to down a few and you order from the menu at Pelicans service is great,can be very crowded at times. Guess that means people really like it as do I.

We are
Locals and always take our guests here, but love to go for a few drinks any day! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, but kudos to Gina, Sue and Katie who always go above and beyond!! Thank you for making us feel special on every visit!

This is out on the pier in Cocoa Beach. It was beautiful to sit & watch the surfers while we ate. Had the coconut shrimp salad & it was good. Also had chicken & salsa wrap. It was good but there wasn't much chicken.

After lunch at the grill on the pier a walk to the end found us at the Rikki . The bar is great to chill out for an hour or so , the waiters were on form and the sun was shinning . A pretty unique experience that will hard to match for a relaxing drink watching the waves roll in .

The thrill of it is sitting out on a pier. The negative is the menu is the same for all 3 restaurants on the pier and it it not anything special. Also very expensive.

Plenty of seats at this bar on the very end of Cocoa Beach Pier. Friendly service and the sound of the ocean are sometimes accompanied by live music.

Thrilling experience, delicious drinks and food with the BEST waitress!! Galina is a super star sent from above, giving us laughs throughout the whole experience. 10/10 recommend

Stopped in for happy hour before dinner, walk to the end of the pier and just enjoy the view and the sea breezes.

On a trip to Orlando we decided to take a day and visit Cocoa Beach. We were delighted to see this pub at the end if the pier. We didn't expect much as far as food quality and were very pleasantly surprised that the food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. The crab dip and chips is so delicious. Drinks were good but what really makes this place special is the wonderful staff and the view. It was the perfect day!

Great views, good vibes, nice bartenders. We went at not a very busy time. Got our drinks quickly and food took about 20 minutes or so. Not the place to go if you want a large dinner, but good for a light but fulfilling meal!

The view over the water is great for sitting with cocktails. We spent a couple of hours watching the waves, swimmers and kite boarders enjoying beers and margaritas.

Had lunch and a few beers here. Lobster salad sandwich - big chunks of lobster. Draft beer - half price for Happy Hours. Service was good, food arrived in a few minutes. Live music - a good singer-guitar player. In the open air at the end of the pier with the ocean all around. Cruise ship heading out to sea in the distance. Lots of salty sea dogs around the bar. When I dream about Florida, this is what it is about.

We had a drink but did not eat so I cannot say how the food was. Drinks were in plastic glasses which I dislike because of the waste it creates. View was fine a few surfers out. Water just seems muddy. I am use to Hawaiian beaches so this was just OK.

We spent quite a bit of time at the Pier this past week, this was one of our favorite adult places. They have a fun relaxed happy hour with drink specials (you can't go wrong) or their famous blended drinks. I would highly recommend the Cocoa Set Sail my personal favorite, my husband preferred the paradise. You can also make your drink "fun" with a Coconut. It was a must have for our husband who named him Knut.....we came on many of our adventures at the Pier and is now a fun addition to our home bar. If you are looking for a nice relaxing place with and outstanding view you can't go wrong here!

Windy and amazingly cool. Makes up for the expensive beverages. Beautiful views and very cool one evening and when it gets too windy they close early and I wasn't there after 6pm but great service.

I love sitting out on this pier as your surrounded by water, but still connected to land! Great views, people watching and cocktails!

Lovely spot for lunch overlooking the sea, we enjoyed drinks, good food and great service. Portion sizes were good and there was a lot of different choices on the menu to suit us all - the wings were delicious and enjoyed my first taste of gator!

Would happily revisit here in future - and hope to as well.

Fun place to go to enjoy the view and have a drink. Best place to come to really get you in vacation mode.

When enever we are in florida try to visit Coco Beach been coming to the Pier for over 30 years, The latest refubishments i belieave due to storm dammage are excellent, Usually i rent a rod to Fish but time and Tides were against me so decided to try the Rikki Tiki Bar our lunch and the veiw over the surf were excellent we ordered Buger with Fries and the Crab Seafood Dip with a local Beer and Key Lime Coctail very nice on sunny afternoon.

My friends and I we’re in Cocoa Beach for girls weekend. We went to the pier for food and drinks and we were not disappointed! Our bartender, Sue, was amazing. She made the atmosphere enjoyable while staying on top of our drinks. The burgers, fish sandwich and wings were all rave worthy. The bar backs (Megan and ... Luke I believe?) we’re accommodating and even gave us jackets to borrow since it was a windy night. Would definitely go back and recommend as a must stop on your trip to Cocoa Beach!

nice to be at the end of the pier ...great views, friendly staff and a decent variety of foods. even nice with the breeze in the evening.

Not the same since Westgate bought it. Yes, C-19 made changes but Westgate rules made it uncomfortable. It was only my husband & I at a table we had to order food just to have a drink, which we did but out side on the pier at our table...which was absent of any other people, we were told he could not hold my hand!

excellent service by Jason and Alexa, we will return and refer others here; we enjoy the views and the refreshing drinks as well

This place is alllll the way at the end of Cocoa Beach pier, which means as you make your way through all the shops and restaurants and people, you can look forward to having a drink right out over the Atlantic, with nothing to impede your view. The bartenders have been so friendly each time I've visited, and the drinks don't disappoint. I usually stick to beer, but they know how to make cocktails right, and the Carabé Pineapple Cider was refreshing and just sweet enough.

This is an awesome place to go for a drink and a view. The food is good too. It's reasonably priced for a tourist destination.

We’ve been making two trips a year to Cocoa Beach and the pier for 18 years. We’ve always enjoyed Rikki Tiki Tavern, but since the remodel, it is amazing. So much more room and a wonderful atmosphere! This evening was made more memorable due to our bartender/server, Aaron, who was from our home state. He engaged the customers and was attentive to everyone! Our food was delicious. We’ll be back next May!
Betty & Jim

Best bartenders in Cocoa Beach...treat ya like family!! Great service..great atmosphere..tell them Sal says hello

Bar is out at the end of the pier surrounded by the Atlantic. Very fun place. Staff very friendly. Open air bar with great views.

Our server was friendly and efficient. The food and drinks were excellent. It was a pleasure to have Galina S as our server and we will be back.

Overpriced food. All this place has going for it is the location. The food is awful and expensive. So many pigeons inside the bar. We ended up abandoning our food because there were so many pigeons inside trying to land on our food.

I love the fact that this bar is sitting right on the ocean, at the Cocoa Beach Pier, which allows for amazing views. It’s a huge area, starting with an enclosed restaurant which leads out to the tavern. What I didn’t understand too much was the $2 per person cover charge in exchange for tokens that are then turned in to the server to reduce your bill by the amount of cover paid.

Our server only smiled right at the end of our visit. The drink prices range between 8 to 9 dollars, so it’s not really inexpensive. One of my daughters wanted a particular beer, that was on the menu, but the server said it was not available. The food was served within 20 minutes of ordering; we ordered two delicious Lobster Rolls, Chicken Wings, and a Chicken Pineapple Wrap. One of the Lobster Rolls was ordered with chips but it was served with potato salad instead.

At the far end of Cocoa Beach pier, wind your way through the businesses on the pier, then pay $2 to pass the toll booth. The bar at the end of the pier is this place. I went on a Friday afternoon to grab a beer and watch the afternoon crowd on the beach, and stayed for hours, listening to live music and sipping on the inexpensive drinks. The $2 toll is taken off your bill. You cant beat the vibe and it's family friendly. A great way to spend an afternoon on the coast.

We enjoyed our stop here for evening drinks. We had dark n stormy drinks and they were delicious. The breeze was nice blowing out on the end of the pier. Worth a stop. Parking at the pier is free after 4. They charge a couple bucks to get onto the very end of the pier and go to this bar but they then give you tokens to use toward the purchase of your drinks.

The views were great, it was an extremely windy day. Pineapple cider was very good and had the seafood dip with tortilla chips as an appetizer.

Service was good waitress was very attentive.

Would go again.

I am glad that we stopped by for lunch and drinks before flying home, this was a great way to end the vacation. Food and drinks were great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Beautiful views, wish I could still be there.

On our first day here my wife and I brought our >1 year old daughter and had a great time. The views are priceless and the walk to the tavern were great too!

I had the Grouper sandwich with Ghost Pepper cheese. Not as spicy as I thought it’d be. But it still rocked my world :-)

When we arrived, we asked a waitress if we seat ourselves or have to check in and she stated “use your eyes” and walked off. A couple right by us let us know we have to seat ourselves. We ordered the calamari, which tasted like it was frozen and then microwaved. We also ordered the sesame noodle bowl (decent) and the alligator sandwich (not good). The food was bad and the service was terrible. Save yourself the trip.

Love this place and I am definitely recommending it! Awesome food and and drinks. I went with some friends and our waitress Tina was very welcoming and had contagious smile! Thanks for excellent service and helping make this trip memorable

It’s a great location, no doubt. However we’ve never been here without feeling very cold and it’s always windy. The roof and sides make it dark. The prices are too high. I’m sure it’s great for a beer or come, but... We purchased cocktails - big mistake! They are awful, watery, full of ice and over priced. $40 for 4. For the same price you can get wonderful margaritas at Longhorns, long pour, so essentially 2-3 each by volume for the same price and they taste excellent. Come on Rikki Tikki, give customers tasty value for money!

On the recommendation of a friend, we ate at the Rikki Tiki Tavern on the Cocoa Beach Pier. The view was magnificent, right on the beach, Disney cruise ship anchored right nearby, and a view of the Kennedy Pace Center launch pad. The food was also very good. I had the grilled chicken salad with balsamic dressing. It was excellent. It is a bit breezy but after a long hot day, it was very comfortable.

Great food great service perfect location you’ve definitely got to stop hereWe have visited this place every time we come to Florida even though it’s out of our way

We walked to the pier from our condo and thoroughly enjoyed everything there. Great restaurant with many different atmospheres (inside, outside, undercover or in the sun) to sit and eat. The view was exhilarating, the food was delicious, and the service was great!

Great location, great drinks, end of the pier with nice views. Jen & Gina were awesome! I’ll go back next time I’m in Florida.

Had a drink at the end of the pier. Drinks aren't cheap so we only stayed for one but it was worth it. The view that day was spectacular.

Didn't expect much except the joy of eating on the pier. They way over-delivered. We all enjoyed our meals. Steamed shrimp cooked just right. Hernes (our waiter) suggested the grouper which I had as a blackened sandwich. Perfectly cooked. Watched the surfers while we waited for the food. Excellent service. Short wait for food. Will return. Strongly recommend

Had a really good time here. Rikki Tikki is at the end of the CoCo Beach 🏖 Pier to get to the restaurant you have to pay a toll of $2.00 per person. The restaurant will remove that from you bill. I had the mini hotdogs wrapped like a egg roll, with potatoes salad. The walk to get to the restaurant is truly beautiful over looking the ocean and beach on both sides. You feel the winds blowing off the water 💦.

Visited in March - windy and cold - place could use some clear tarps to help shelter; or serve the drinks faster - ordered one drink, had to take it mobile because we got cold waiting and it was unpleasant to sit out there.
Nice views - if you/ve been on a pier anywhere, you know what to expect.

Gorgeous place to hang out and enjoying live.
Very calm very friendly, the food and cocktails are amazing. View right to the rocket launch.

We loved this place. Great views, great service, and drinks. Jason was our bartender and he’s awesome! He was very happy to offer us suggestions and he was awesome to talk to. We will be back later in the week to eat.

Average for the location. Expected more fun atmosphere but the employees sat around talking while we waited for service

This place is very well located and I recommend it for the view, the setting, immersion in the ocean with incredible views. On the other hand, calling it a “restaurant” is impossible for a French person! Mostly frozen food, chicken breaded with Archie breading cooked (almost burnt) and which is more abundant than the chicken (Cesar salad), Cesar sauce has only the name and not the taste, but that is nothing by in relation to the service which was provided at our table by a person who was as incompetent as possible. In short, go to this place for the eyes, not for your palate or the service. I also forgot, $12 each

Great outdoors social experience. Fantastic views day or night. Nice selection of drinks. Jason was a Fantastic Bartender. Right from the start he was friendly, helpful and entertaining. We made a point to return on a number of occasions during his shift.

I was just here yesterday afternoon and my bartenders Sue & Gina are spectacular, they know their business and are very attentive to everyone at the Pier...they do their jobs well.

Being in the business myself as an owner several time these young ladies work the bar well by stopping by each customer to ask how they are doing with light conversation and asking if they need a fresh drink, they recommend the specials for the day and you don't feel pushed or rushed to drink up.

Pleasant smiles, offers menus for both cocktails and food.

Comfortable setting and great views 365° of land and sea.

Thank you gals!

Captain Ron

Gina was our bartender and made our day at the beautiful pier bar! Couldn’t have asked for better service or drinks! Highly recommend!

Great and vibrant bar right on the beach!
Really loved this spot in the heart of Cocoa beach!
Definitely a must see spot!

This is a fun place to go with friends. Great live music, and great atmosphere. And they serve their drinks with PASTA straws - NOT plastic!
Thank you, Rikki Tiki Tavern!

Fast services, good food, and drinks, staff was very attentive as well. View of the ocean was perfect

Try the beer. Or a gin and tonic. Or any drink with an umbrella. Tap your toe and be ready to sing along with the live music. Didn't eat, but sure had fun. Everyone else there is as happy as you to be there, so great socializing.

Great spot at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier - we arrived just past noon on a gorgeous Saturday and nabbed some seats at the bar. Sydney took amazing care of us during our visit, making drink recommendations and always circling back to make sure we were doing well even though the place was hopping! She and the entire staff were just great - they worked well together to provide good service to all their customers. highly recommend the peel / eat shrimp, the shrimp roll, the gator burger, and the bucket of punch! As for the location ... it speaks for itself sitting out over the ocean and open to fresh air on all four sides. This would be a prime spot to watch a NASA launch, about 2.5 miles from the pad and nearly unobstructed views after lift-off.

We had a chilled out afternoon here. After a sun filled day on the beach 🏝 it was the perfect place to cool down and relax. Let the breeze touch your body and feel like in the caribbean.
Drinks are good and affordable 🍻 They even haf live music 🎶. Such a great place.

Had a few cocktails and beers overlooking the surfers below. Great atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommend it as a mandatory stop.

I live very close to the pier and visit the Tiki Tavern often. Never been disappointed. Lots of fun, friendly staff, can't beat the ocean view. Cheers!

Even in the rain this establishment didn't disappoint. Food was great and how could you not like the view!!!

Megan and Aaron at Rikki Tiki were amazing! The best service we’ve had our entire trip to Florida! Sunset on the pier was so beautiful. We will absolutely be back!

While traveling my husband and I stopped here to view the pier and the area. We sat and watch the ocean and had a drink with our feet dangling over the water. Can't beat the view!

Love Rikki Tiki Tavern! Great drinks and service! Josh was great !!!!! Waited on us and kept the drinks a coming!!!!! Chris was wonderful singing!!!!! Will be back!

Right at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier you find this Tavern. Pretty busy on our visit with drinkers, fishermen& gawkers but I was on a beer patrol.Not the cheapest place in town especially if you pick the souvenir drink holders, old coconut shells?? We saw people actually buy them, more money then sense I say ! Not a bad spot to have a cold one & watch the day go by.

Waited for 1hr 40 mins after ordering before we gave up and left. Tried to get the server to show some interest but she just wasn’t, very curt to the point of rudeness. Took an hour and 20 for her to admit the order had been lost. They were totally out of their depth. I complained to the general manager on the way out, he didn’t seem to care much either. Worst service I have experienced in a very very long time.

Visited the Riki Tiki tavern on our vacation to Cocoa Besch. Cute little bar at the end of the pier. Great service and great views. There is a $2 charge to get on the pier, but you get a token to be used toward your purchase. Fun place!

Fish sandwich here is amazing as is the seafood chowder. The sandwich was nice sized and served with fries, I had a bowl of the chowder and absolutely loved it! Recommend this place for a meal where you can sit near the ocean and eat. Service is very good. All sites to eat on the pier have the same menu. Food at the end of the pier is carried to the location by the servers. There are many places to sit along the pier as well. I would go back just to have the soup. LOVED IT! The ambience is great also.

Overpriced food and drink. Server had very bad attitude from the start and was quite rude. This place relies on the great location and doesn't seem to care about customers at all. Avoid!

The Rikki Ticki Tavern was really nice. The service was great and the drinks were very tasty and good.

Best vacation day ever! Gina was fantastic! Enjoy the best ocean view & great food & drinks! Do not miss out on this place!

The staff, including Lord Josh, Gina and Sue, are all a credit to the Tiki Hut at the end of the pier. They all make great cocktails which are yummy. Bahama Mama being my favourite one.
A wonderful atmosphere and a great place to sit and watch the waves and surfers and to make new friends!

Great staff and service. On our second visit, our server Harnes was very accommodating to us and the other tables. He frequently checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied (we were a medium-sized group with a wheelchair-dependant teen). The veiw is beautiful and the food tastes SO amazing. I would definitley recomend their chowder fries.

Great service and great drinks! A little expensive and did not like that you have to walk thru other restaurants to get to the tavern.

Note the address is incorrect it should be
Cocoa Beach Pier
401 Meade Ave
Cocoa Beach, FL 32931
This is a wonderful experience to sit and relax at the end of Cocoa Beach Pier. You are sitting out overlooking the Ocean. If you can do it be there for a rocket launch....spectacular! Other great restaurants also located at the Cocoa Beach Pier

We were told to follow the server. She ran so fast we couldn't keep up with her. We turn around and left.

Many positive things to mention. The setting is very nice, prices are reasonable, food is excellent, waiter top notch. However, the initial experience was definitely tainted by the not only cold, non welcoming behavior of the host, but by his arrogance. There were two groups of us; five in one group, six in another. He made quite a play of deliberately misunderstanding which group was which group. No other people waiting. We all knew each other and were all put off by his cold, demeaning behavior. There was also a hostess who did her level best to make it all work. If this were my restaurant, I would not want this man to be the initial contact person with my guests.

We were staying one night at the La Quinta hotel right next to the pier so we wandered out for a cocktail and some shrimp in the late afternoon. I assume this is the same chain. The place was packed and the service was extremely slow. I noticed that they were only a few waitresses and they did the best they could, but we waited 30 minutes simply because we wanted to wait for the waitress. I noticed that a lot of people just go to the bar to get their own drinks and then sit down. We did order the peel and eat shrimp which was excellent and we split it two ways as there was plenty for both of us. Nice view gentle breezes depending on the weather. A nice place for someone from out of town to have a drink. I noticed a table of parents who got together after their kids' baseball game. I also noticed tourists, locals, and young people at the bar.

10/10 would recommend!! Had a great time grabbing a bite and getting drinks to avoid a summer shower! 100% you should request Gina as your bartender, SHES THE BEST. She is so knowledgeable about the menu as well as what she likes. Gave great recommendations!! Honestly we only left because Gina’s shift ended!!

**get the Key Lime Pie drink!!

Sat by the water and had a few drinks and then some appetizers!! great food and so much and the sweetest waitress! "Megan" So love her smile and geat personality and so attentative to every need and made sure our drinks were full!! The atmosphere was so pretty!! The dolphins in the water were so beautiful!! Again Megan was the best waitress and the food was amazing. I was so glad not to be rushed and able to enjoy everything the drinks and food and more drinks!!! Great girl!! thank you Megan I will be returning to visit you!!!!

Friendly and professional server David. Food was great-had nachos and crab cakes. Nice kids menu as well. Nice vibe.

The drinks are a little weak so if you want a buzz you have to add a $3 shot of rum which means each drink is $14 not to mention small. Get them frozen or if you want to get drunk get the Pier Punch. I had the grouper, fried, and the chowder. The chowder is amazing and as close as you can get to New England chowder with big chunks of clam and perfect broth. The grouper was great with excellent sauce, but the real winner is the fries.

The experience of eating at the end of the pier was 4 stars. Unfortunately our experience with the food and service would be a 2. The servers were friendly, the kids food was good (really great chicken strips), but my husband and I waited over an hour for our plates, the lobster wrap was fishy tasting, and the grouper sandwich was good but the portion of fish filled less than half of the bun. We were really looking forward to this experience, unfortunately we walked away disappointed.

Excellent food, scenery, and top notch service from our waiter “Harnes ”. He was great! He should get a raise! We will definitely come again!

We had a great time having lunch here! We were able to watch the surfers down below us and listen to the ocean while we ate. It was very peaceful. The serving staff was amazing! I had a nice salad and my wife had the mahi-mahi tacos. The mahi mahi (blackened) was absolutely the best we've had! I put some on my salad (which would be a great option for them to offer) and it was very, very good! We will definitely go back here!

Came for lunch after hitting some of the local attractions. Was awesome to sit out over the water, enjoying the cool breeze and a nice beverage. All three of us enjoyed our meals and the service from Megan (from Syracuse) was spot on. The only thing that would have made it better was if we could have purchased a Riki tiki tavern pint glass they served us!

Great Happy Hour. Drinks are fast, food is good, views are amazing! Great happy hour spot or spend the afternoon drinking in the sights.

We had a yummy lunch out on the end of the pier. Great seafood and cocktails not to mention a fabulous location. We had shrimp and I finally found my fish sandwich - very good. Also love that they used pasta tubes instead of straws!

Gorgeous views, great drinks, friendly bartender. Hot dog sliders A+....pineapple beer?? (draft) tasty and refreshing. TIKI souvineer cup super cool.

We were looking for an outdoor dining experience on the water and this was absolutely the best! We watched the surfers from beginners to expert as we ate our lunch.
Our server was from Pittsburgh PA, which was a treat since some of our party had lived there for 19 years. She was delightful and very attentive.

The food was delicious, plentiful, prompt and exactly as we had ordered.

We were staying nearby and went a few times.. food looked good but our waitress was not great, it is loud, and really busy. good for a drink but thats it.

We had Baili she was amazing ! The drinks and apps were spot on ! The view was amazing can’t say enough about our server ! best ever!!!

Sat overlooking the entire coastline. Had a great fish dip with tortilla chips for an appetizer, the jerk shrimp poke bowl, and a salad. The poke bowl was very tasty but really not worth the price. The fish dip with tortilla chip was excellent.

We came to Rikki Tiki Tavern to celebrate the 4th of July and were very disappointed with our service.

I (23) had ordered a cocktail and upon showing my UK driving license, I was rudely told that this form of ID was unacceptable, despite not having had any issues with other bars.

Our waitress was incredibly blunt with us and seemed to go out of her way to feel unwelcome. After telling me that my ID wasn’t valid, she walked away with a smug look, and when we ordered a bowl of fries for the table she rolled her eyes at us.

We left feeling very disappointed with our experience, which is a shame given the fantastic location of the venue.

We've been here before visiting family but never wrote a review. This will be quick. The location at the end with the view is great. Shaded with (usually) a nice breeze. Service was good. Food is OK not great, not bad. Since it was lunch, we had the crab dip. It was OK but had a strange smoked flavor. would probably not get again. We shared the grilled pineapple chicken wrapped. This was good and definitely big enough for two people. Could have had more pineapple in it though. Drinks tasted a bit watered down for the price. Overall an average place that you go to for the great view. Oops almost forgot - you have to pay to get in and park.

Great food and ambiance and a wonderful view of the ocean. They had a wide selection of drinks and cocktails. Food was excellent. Service was very good. Drinks came in very fast. There was a bit of a wait for food. But the place was packed.

Awesome views, great service and you MUST order the best grouper sandwich ever made. Would definitely stop here anytime I am near Cocoa Beach

Absolute best Mojito in Cocoa Beach! Aside from expected tourist prices the little pier bar has been consistent for years with some of the best cocktails in the area.

There’s nothing like having a cold beer at the end of the pier over the water. Watching the surfers catch waves, the fishermen competing for the catch and the warm tropical breeze is a favorite go to.

We have always enjoyed the Rikki Tiki Tavern. Great atmosphere, service and views that are amazing. I ordered the crab legs for the first time and the sauce they were covered in made for a huge mess. They were almost impossible to eat they were so slippery. Very tasty but I was afraid they would go flying across the bar as I cracked the shells. The utensils and my hands where completely a mess. It took forever to eat. Do yourself a favor and order the sauce on the side and dip. Enjoy!

Enjoyed watching the surfers off the pier and views of the ocean. Staff and bartenders where very welcoming, friendly and provided good service. The food was average for the price, but well worth the experience.

There are not many places better to enjoy a great drink with wonderful views! Food is also available here.

We enjoyed a few drinks as the sun set one evening during our Florida stay with our son and his girlfriend. Service was attentive, drinks were good, and the view outstanding!

We arrived at Rikki Tiki after a long bike ride and ordered some lemonades for the kids, aged 9 and 12, directly from the waitress.

She asked if we wanted the lemonades served in coconut cups we said sure, and ordered two adult lemonades as well.

When the bill came it was $81 US for 4 lemonades.. we found this to be expensive. Looking at the bill we were charged $23 per coconut cup, to take the cups home.

We figured we didn’t need to take them home at that price and told the waitress we would leave the cups, thanks.

She immediately said she would call the manager, without explaining any further.

5 minutes later the manager arrived WITH A SECURITY GUARD.. clearly with the intent to intimidate us.

We said we didn’t want the cups. She said we had to pay for them. We said we didn’t know how much they were. She said it’s marked on the menu. We said we ordered directly from the waitress and not from the menu. She said too bad we are obligated to pay for them. The whole time the security guard is staring at us and the kids are clearly scared.

We said what if we refuse to pay for the cups? The Guard said he would call the police! We couldn’t believe that this is how they would treat a nice family from Canada..

We said go ahead and call the police as we want to talk to them as well. This place is a racket.

We paid the bill and made our way down the pier. The Security guard FOLLOWED us the whole time.

When we stopped to look in a store he came into the store behind us and said we had to leave the pier.

We asked why? We did nothing wrong. He continued to intimidate us and our kids. When we got to the bottom of the pier there was a police man waiting and the Security guard was pointing at us.

The police man must be used to this place calling them for no real reason as he barely looked our way as we walked onto the beach and left the horrible experience behind us.

The security guard kept pointing at us and talking to the police.

This place is a black mark on cocoa beach. Do not waste your time or your money going there as it is a racket meant to take advantage of tourists and force overpriced drinks and merchandise down their throats.

Not the way we treat customers in Canada and not anything like the rest of our experiences in cocoa beach

Saturday afternoon live music was great and the breeze off the Atlantic Ocean felt great. If you visit Cocoa Beach make sure you visit the Pier and Rikki Tiki

We stopped in to finish off our day at the beach and watch the surfers out in the Tropical Storm winds. The views were awesome....and the appetizers and drinks were equally good. The shrimp/crab dip, the wings, and the peel n eat were all great as was the Key Lime Pie Daquiris. Service was also good and they tried keeping the birds away from us! Mask and temp checks required to enter the pier!

This place is right on the beach. The view is so good.
You need to pay $2 to get inside but they will refund it if you have food/drinks from there.

Very unique bar at the end of the Cocoa Beach pier. You will be charged to visit, but reimbursed when you buy a drink.

I just moved to Orlando and wanted to spend a day at the Ocean. I drove to Cocoa Beach and ended up at the Rikki Tiki Tavern at the end of Cocoa Beach Pier. I ended up having the most enjoyable evening, and I attribute that to two of the best bartenders I’ve ever met - Sue and Jennifer. We experienced some lightning which prevented the bar from allowing new customers to enter, but I was told as an existing patron I was a “VIP” and I could stay as long as I liked. I figured Sue and Jennifer were just being nice, but as patrons left and I was the last one standing, I got the opportunity to get to know them. They are both efficient and entertaining - a valuable combination in the bar business. Sue and Jennifer were not only exceptional bartenders, but they also took the time to coach me regarding my relocation. If you find yourself in Cocoa Beach, be sure to pay them a visit at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier. You won’t be sorry.

After lounging on the beach for two hours, we headed to Riki Tiki for mai tais and burgers.
We had a great table at the end of the pier and the views were awesome. Our waitress was excellent. The burgers and drinks were good.
A little pricey but totally worth it.

Have been to this cool tiki bar many many times over the years, this time I noticed they had a pineapple cider on tap. Oh.my.goodness! So good, and apparently is brewed in Cape Canaveral, just up the road a few miles away!
Only small issue was the greedy bartender who tried to take our $7 change for his tip. Sorry dude, you only served us each one drink- &2, not $7 for you.

I visit this place every 6-8 weeks. I have no idea about these service comments. Jason, the bartender, has been here for years and always gets drinks in a quick manner. I recommend this place after 4 every day. Friday after work or on holiday is great. I would say the only negative is that they close it down at the slightest bad weather. Otherwise, this is one of the best happy hours in the area and prices are reasonable for a touristy area. I live near Niagara falls, I know touristy.

Nice bar at the end of the pier. It's crazy windy.. be warned...lol. They had a 1 man musician playing who was awesome.

Paid $20 for parking and went in for food and drink. If the server smiled it would crack her face. My 25 year old was refs cocktail dispute having ID and proof of passport.. please Please Please do not go here you will be disappointed.

Great food and the atmosphere is awesome. The view from the balcony is a post card from paradise. I had the pier hamburger and that coupled with the snake fry's made an afternoon was complete.

Harnes, outstanding server! Food excellent! He went above & beyond to provide for us to have an outstanding time! Thank you

I really enjoyed this place!!! It was so beautiful sitting over the water enjoying a drink watching the sunset. How much better can it get?!?! The drinks they had were so fun and yummy they did away with plastic straws so I got a pasta straw SO COOOL!!! I’ve never seen anything like it!! The staff is so friendly and very hospitable!! I can’t wait to go back!!

I have been traveling to Cocoa Beach since I was a kid. I remember. when there was nothing on the pier and even when it was closed for a while. I tend to stay away from most touristy places, but I decided to give this place a try. I am glad I did. It was very nice, bar staff were fast and friendly, and the view was great. I expected higher than average bar prices due to the location, but they were too bad. I felt I got what I paid for. All in all it was a nice visit and I will return. It does cost $2 to walk out on to the pier to get the bar, but you get a $2 token to use towards drinks or food, so it really doesn't cost anything unless you don't use the token.

Great staff especially Skyelar who was friendly and great at her job. Customer Service fabulous. Grouper was excellent.

Walked out there for drinks, fast waitstaff, limited seating and costs $2 a head to get past the gate guard to get on the pier.

Amazing service and great food! Best restaurant view in the area. This is a must if you are in Cocoa. Galina Was great!

The bar is out on the pier so there is lots of wind and a great view. The service is nonexistent and the food poor. The beer is not cold. If this place did not have a view it would have nothing going for it.

Best bar in the area. For someone that doesn’t want to be out on the ocean, it provides you an opportunity to sit above it. Amazing views. Staff was friendly and the drinks were great. We sat at the bar for hours because it was so peaceful and relaxing.

West gate needs to teach the servers that the customers around the perimeter are just as important as people at tables... took long time to get service but once they recognized we needed food, the server did a great job. Thank you Bailey. Dan, the bartender was great too !!!

tourist trap...$15 parking, would not take an Ontario Canada driver's license for ID...been coming to Florida for 15 years, first ever issue ever here and I see on reviews that I'm not alone...maybe train your staff..was told I need a passport...who goes to a beach bar with a passport...go anywhere else

Beautiful views...If windy it can be a bit of a downfall trying to keep your food warm and to eat.

Stopped in for a quick meal. We had the fish dip for an appetizer, coconut shrimp, crab legs, peel & eat shrimp.

I wish we would have come earlier in the day to enjoy the view longer.

Very nice & welcoming staff. Came in alone and was not treated like I was a low spender.
Gina made conversation and took very good care of me. I’ve been here many times over the years and this summer trip was a first. Come support the rikki tiki tavern on the cocoa pier and chill in the best atmosphere in cocoa beach ! 😎👍 I’ll be back soon

Great food, breeze, and view of water.

Galina was a great server. Got us napkins and refills before we asked. Had the shrimp roll special and black ended grouper. I ojos definitely come back.

The renovations to the tiki bar are first class. The drinks and service are second to none. Everyone should stop here when visit Cocoa Beach, FL.

What a great spot for lunch or just drinks. Certainly can’t beat the view and the food is also good. The fries are really good!

Cocoa to begin with is definitely a getaway if your looking too just have a ease of mind and kick back on the beach.

We really enjoyed our evening look out on to the Atlantic. Watching cruise ships sail away. Nice atmosphere great staff. The grouper sandwich is great. Local beers were good. My wife enjoyed the rum runner. Great time.

The place it self it’s very nice, very nice view! Now their menu its very simple, not to many options to choose from now their drinks are soooo good!!!

Great location at the end of the pier. Lovely breeze, cold beer and nice cocktails.

Prices are reasonable, but does get busy.

We stopped by for lunch and a drink after shopping at RonJon's Surf Shop. Gina and Michelle took great care of us. Best Mojito ever and I'm a Mojito snob. I enjoyed the blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich too. Really impressed. It was the best way to say goodbye to Florida on our way to the airport.

Great spot to chill. Definitely coming back and hopefully it will have some room for us again. Live music and great views. I could see this place get packed in prime time. Luckily we had some weather coming in that changed some peoples minds of coming out. Hot spot here.

I loved the shrimp tacos I had here!! I also loved our server Harnes! The grouper sandwich was also amazing!

Amazing food, beautiful views, fun vibe with great music, and stellar service! The tropical feel makes you check all worries at the door! Tina took great care of us!

Great location on the end of the pier. Limited space around the main central bar, but lots of tables along the pier under their management. Simple food menu which was served fast. Nice selection of cocktails and great friendly service. They have other options on the pier, bus was great to be at the end of the pier

The food was Delicious!! My husband and I had the Grouper sandwich with fries, and it was absolutely delicious! My son very much enjoyed their burger as well. Galina was very attentive, kind and a great server! Knew exactly how my son would want his burger...no vegetables on burger and with fries. Recommended swiss cheese on Grouper sandwich and it was Great! Riki Tiki was a great and fun experience and memory for our vacation! Drinks were slightly watered down, but food was GREAT! Can't beat the view from here!

Great view. Drinks were good. Waitress brought us a drink menu but never came back. My husband had to ho to the bar and get our drinks. She missed out on a tip.

What a pleasant surprise. We wanted to visit the cocoa beach pier and possibly have lunch. Friends told us great things. We went to the very end of the pier to the recently reopened Rikki Tiki Tavern. Drinks were great! Bartender was was also very friendly. Great views from the bar and tables. Best blackened grouper sandwich I had all week. The fries were uniquely different and delicious. My wife had the chicken tacos. Both were very tasty. Definitely would go back.

At first we hesitated because it costs $2 each to go out on the pier, but we were given tokens for $2 off each of our meals in exchange, so that was wonderful. We had great bar service from Jen, Gina, Ashley, Skylar, Megan, Stephanie and a guy named Joe! We had a lot of fun with them. My hamburger was delicious and my daughter in law enjoyed a fish wrap. Can't remember what the guys ate but they were happy. Great view. We would have sat there longer if it had been a warmer day. GO JEN!

We hate having to pay to park just to visit this bar....but $15 is cheaper than a Uber each way....and the local places are really picky about parking. The $15 parking does include the $2 per person admittance to the pier....so load up the car. Great bartenders and servers, and the frozen drinks with the ocean breeze is fabulous. We make plans around our daily visit to the pier.

Amazing food and view. Harnes was outstanding. We would highly recommend this location for any meal as well as drinks.

Double charged me and no response from emails. Hand over your card at your own peril. I'll leave it to my bank to sort out as these clowns have no idea...

Had an ice cream on the pier after dinner that was awesome...took lots of pictures and made many memories, walked the beach at sunset, great evening on the beach

Enjoyed a couple of drinks and an appetizer while watching birds, boats and fish. Great place to relax.

Great location with rum and rum cocktails. Gina was a fantastic bartender that made our stop here memorable with her great service and sense of humor. Enjoyed the rum, the great ocean views,and the pelican harassing the guys fishing on the pier. Try the rum flight.

Hot? They have cold drinks! Hungry? they have crunchy lunches! Bored? Great 360* views! We’d heard the Pier that has Rikki Tiki Tavern at the far end was great - DESPITE the $20 (!!) parking fee - and were in the mood to experience it of ourselves. History galore on the Space Coast. We, along with our adult son & d-i-l and our young grandson enjoyed sitting, talking, and enjoying our late lunch. There were several other restaurants along the pier as well as a couple of “gift shops” (but we walked on by). My fish and chips were HOT and CRISPY and couldn’t have been nicer with a local beer. Our d-i-l enjoyed tacos, and hubby and son had grouper sandwiches prepared - 1 fried, one grilled. (The hot dog was perfect l for our grandson.) Sitting at the end of the pier we enjoyed watching all the beach fun - boogie boards, almost-surfing, and scantily clad people (of all sizes) playing in the waves - but my favorite views were of the pelicans and our family. Overall I’d say Rikki Tiki was pretty much par for the course - a typical “beach bar” with good and tasty food. With the crowds, be prepared to wait for both drink, ordering, and food - but the service was absolutely with a smile.

My wife and I walked down the beach to the Rikki Tiki Tavern to get a drink. The view could not be beat! Beautiful over the water, watching the surfers around the Cocoa Beach Pier while enjoying a great Dark Ale (Pier Beer). We added in a really tasty chicken wrap and just relaxed and enjoyed the experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, you need to pay $2 per person to go out to the bar on the fishing pier, but get it back off your first drink or food item...

Gina is the best bartender, fantastic views and great drinks. Great service all around, would definitely come back.

Beautiful view of the ocean and the surfers. Service was a lil slow but worth the wait. A few shops geared to tourists with deep pockets to get to there ..... can get better deals elsewhere.

Galina was very helpful and the view can't be beat.

Good beer list. Trying to get something for everyone

Don't miss this experience

Poor food quality. The Tuna was gristle and hard to eat. Expensive and small portions. Atmosphere is beautiful. Would only recommend beer/wine while enjoying view. Mixed drinks expensive and mostly mixer.

DO NOT BOTHER EATING HERE. views are good, can't get that wrong. Beer and wine likewise. BUT the food and service was over priced and extremely poor quality. Will NEVER return. Staff did not appear to be enjoying themselves along with the customers!

The view is amazing. Right at the end of Cocoa Beach Pier. Service was good and food came out quick. Crab Cakes were good. My wife had a chicken sandwich which she said was good as well. Drinks were perfect as well. But cannot beat the view of people surfing as you eat.

Can get really busy ..you. Might have to wait for a table. Again good happy hour, try the scallops they are something else!

Amazing food and service from Galina S. Also the view is amazing. I really enjoyed the shrimp salad.

Good food, great setting! Service fantastic! What more could you want? Sitting on a pier over crashing waves, doesn’t get any better!

Austin and Michelle were very on top of everything going on at the bar on a very busy lunch shift. Nobody was left unsatisfied. Great attitude and work ethic! 10/10. Definitely will be back for 2nd’s!

Great place to have a drink and some food...I live in Cocoa Beach, so this is a fav of mine. It costs $2/pp to access the pier, Riki Tiki Tavern at end of pier...Yo get the $2 back when you order food or drink...Save the token for reimbursement.

Love visiting cocoa beach pier every year and riki tiki tavern is our favorite place to come our server/bartender galina s. Was awesome she always came by to check on us and ask us if we needed anything. We will definitely come back :)

Galina was our server, she was very friendly and her recommendations were good! We had a great time! We definitely comeback! Cheers!

I’ve had such a great time down at Rikki Tikki, friendly staffs, cool bartenders, everyone is smiling. Thanks to our server, (I forgot his name but he’s wearing a cap with his cool red eyeglasses on) for being honest, and being quick when it comes to our needs, he’s very hardworking! Thanks for the cool experience.

Disappointed with our visit here. The food was really nice, but the service didn't reflect that. We ordered the shrimp to start, but it came out at the same time as our mains, so we had 3 large portions of food to eat at the same time. The side we ordered with one of the mains didn't come out until after we'd finished eating, and the server (I believe she was a manager) didn't seem to understand why we no longer wanted it. Pulled a face and walked off with no apology. Shame, because it was good food.

Drinks are expensive! AND at those prices, you'd think you would get a straw! Not much to choose from in the Whiskey or Bourbon selection.

:Rikki Tiki Tavern *used* to make one of the best burgers on the Space Coast. Tonight I eagerly anticipated sinking my teeth into juicy deliciousness on date night, only to bite into a pre-frozen, skinny patty with a strange aftertaste. The thick, juicy burger I used to love for its taste and texture has been replaced with two thin wafers of meat that are pre-frozen. The meat was blackened on one side and tasted like freezer burn and pickles. I sent it back. Our waitress told us that the management changed the burgers out because the old, handmade burgers took too long to cook. So what? I'd rather wait ten extra minutes for a bite of freshly made perfection than have a burned burger that is inedible. I am crushed. Rikki Tiki's burger used to be at the very top of my burger list. Now I'll have to find somewhere else.

On the other hand, my husband's grouper sandwich was great. The view is spectacular. The drinks are tasty, and the pasta straws are sustainable (but unusable for those of us who are gluten free). The waitress was attentive.

Our first time at Rikki!
For the Pros and cons
We will go will cons first.
Cons: easy none..
For the
Pros: nice atmosphere and nice view and a shout out to Rachel and David. Thanks for the friendliness.

The views were nice, but that's about it. We had a couple of drinks and they were watered down. Surfers are right there to watch.

We had lunch here and it was simply wonderful! We highly recommend the peel and eat shrimp appetizer. The shrimp were so tasty! We had them cold as opposed to hot. There were so many shrimp that there was really no need for us to get a sandwich. However, we are fairly light eaters. BUT, we also had TWO of their Pier Punch buckets! A good and sizable drink to share. Also, very tasty on a hot and sunny day in Cocoa Beach. Our server, Galina S., did a FABULOUS job of keeping us hydrated and fed! Spasibo, Galina!

This place is great! The views were awesome! The drinks were good and food was quite good as well. They bring the food out covered so it doesn’t get cold but my husband said it made him feel like he’s in a hospital. I didn’t mind it. Would definitely be back. It does get quite windy!

The bar on the end of the Pier is a beautiful location. Such great views from our bar stool. Our drinks were good. The pineapple cider was yummy. Our meals were delicious. The side fruit salad was amazing. Our bar tender was great.

Great restaurant. We sat on the pier over the water and it was an incredible view. Food was excellent. We ordered the grouper, which was amazing, pork nachos, and a ceasar salad. All was very good. Service was great. Jeremy was our server and did a great job.

We did have to wait a LONG time to be seated but it was worth it. It was a little confusing how they seat people… once they had enough room for 30 people, then they let that amount come in. Seemed an odd way to seat people. It definitely caused the long line and people left because they didn’t want to keep waiting. It was worth it to us!

Put address in GPS that trip advisor had listed....wrong address. . had to use Google search. .usually trip advisor is awesome

We arrived at happy hour where the drink specials are amazing here! Bartenders very skilled and friendly. Tipping is appreciated and rewarded. We had some cocktails at the first bar then went to the end of the pier to enjoy lunch. Not a huge selection but we found there was plenty of food!! We had to take some back to the room. He had the Pier burger and I had a wrap. We ate leftovers for breakfast lol. It's a beautiful view with people fishing. It's such a nice place to hang out for lunch or early dinner.

We were spending a night at Cocoa Beach and there was only one place we wanted to see! Great service, food and drinks. Fun atmosphere and beautful view the of the sea and beach.

My wife and I are in FL. to get away from the cold in the midwest. She mentioned the Cocoa Beach Pier.....and are we happy made the trip from Orlando. Fresh Fried Grouper sandwich, super tasty and spicy too. Just amazing views all around. Our server was Megan from Syracuse, NY. Super friendly and genuine......A real asset to your business!

Highly recommended.....ask for Megan!

Awesome food with an awesome view. Service was quick and food was on the table within 15 mins of ordering and definitely some of the best food on our trip!! 10/10 recommend!

We took a nice drive from Orlando and Disney fun to the beach for the day. We were able to park on the street, which cost less than in a pay to park lot and then walked over to the pier where we enjoyed lunch here. The views are amazing, it was a clear warm sunny day and the birds and people were fun to watch, we enjoyed a couple of drinks and a good sized Grouper Sandwich, it was fresh, thick and perfectly cooked. Then we walked down to the water and splashed around. Cocoa Beach was a great side trip

We planned on going here for dinner when in town, but couldn't visit. They wanted a cover charge to get in. I won't pay to get in someplace when they charge an arm and leg for the food anyway. I get trying to keep people out of the area, but maybe waive the charge when you eat? And the guy that was working the front collecting money was RUDE! HE yelled at me.

Such great service from Dalton and the crew. We visited on Tuesday 1st July, our first full day in the USA, and couldn’t wait to go on the pier and see the view. The sea is so blue!

The food was delicious including the “gator melt” and came with lovely fries and salads.

After lunch we saw a manatee surfacing in the waves behind the surfers as well as tarpon and sharks swimming around the pier supports. At 5pm on Dalton’s advice we came back to witness the Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral. Stunning!

great view, great drinks need I say more.... food is great, a positive re-build after the hurricanes last year

Happy hour is a great time with plenty of tourists and locals to engage in conversations. Stick with the drafts, each costs about half the price of bottles. We've never paid to get to the end of the pier. Is that luck or timing? I don't know.

Unfortunately we went to bar around 6 pm and a gale was blowing, which made it seem cold. The bar service was excellent and a good selection of drinks. You have to pay to get to end of pier but you can use token to eat the fee off your drink.

To sit on the pier with a good breeze and a cold brew watching the moon rise and a thunderstorm off to the west! Highly recommend!

My wife and I drove over and stopped on the pier for lunch. LOTS of changes since the pier was sold to a time share developer... most for the better. However, locals are not as welcome as they used to be, catering more to tourists and the time share visitors. Prices are moderate and the food is good. I agree with other reviewers, the server we had Kristen was friendly, fast and professional. Overall recommended.

Clean, organized, great service (Katie), friendly staff and amazing drinks! Her suggestion on “cocoa set sail” hit the right spot!!

Galina was excellent. A nice relaxing way to pass some time and enjoy a beer and some snacks. Definitely recommend!

Sprung for parking. You get free access to pier. Lobster club and adult beverages. Perfect view. Would go again.

Best ocean view in Cocoa Beach. Josh and Michelle are great bar tenders. Love this place. Food is great as well as live music. Always feel welcomed and appreciated.

Great menu options, we grabbed appetizers and drinks. Good wait staff. Quick service and friendly. Walked the pier, visited shops, watched ships, surfers, marine life, and enjoyed the experience.

Pull up a seat to the bar and enjoy a snack and beverage. Face east and enjoy open views of the ocean. Face south and enjoy watching people on the beach. Consider a fleece in the winter, as the wind will bring a chill. Or, sit under the hut, where plastic drapes serve as wind blocks.

Tina and Sarah were wonderful; food was delicious, drinks so refreshing. Can’t beat the view. Saw the location at sunrise this morning, so glad we could come back for lunch.

The whole boardwalk is just great, for anyone, kids, adults! I had some cocktails and they were just great! The food was really good!

Our pier token got us money off drinks and it was happy hour, yeah! Great to watch the surfers, and the fisher people bringing in their catch. We didn't eat anything, cause we wanted desert and they didn't have any. Nice bartender, great view.

Gina and Jen at the rikki tiki bar are awesome bartenders. Great view watching the surfers. Good seafood. Nice way to spend an afternoon.

We decided to watch the airshow from the Tiki and absolutely enjoyed everything about it. Gina and Michael made us delicious drinks. We had Buffalo Wings. So tasty.

View and breeze off the ocean were great. Pretty crowded bar and difficult to get a drink. Drinks are pretty weak, but tasty. Pigeons walking around inside with bird poop everywhere, not a great smelling place....we were going to order food but decided not to.

Stopped in for lunch on a Monday afternoon and it was a gorgeous January day. Had impeccable service, along with a great view of the surfers shooting the pier, and fishermen reeling in their catch. My friend and I shared the salad with the coconut shrimp and pina colada dressing, top notch!!! Big enough to share!! We also shared the grilled chicken island wrap. A little too much lettuce used for 'filler' but the actual 'goodies' of chicken and veggies, along with a pineapple salsa, was delicious. Potato salad we had as a side item was also extremely tasty!
Normally, places on the beach with a gorgeous view don't deliver on the food, but this place exceeded that with both quality, taste, and overall service!!!

My 13 year-old twins and I loved dining on this Pier. We started out under the main roof by the bar, and service was nice. For the rest of our stay in Cocoa, we ventured out to the end of the Pier at the Tavern. It can be chilly to cold out there with the evening breeze, especially after sunset, so bring a sweater, but well worth going. Staff was friendly, service was fast, food was delish. We ordered so many oysters that we were actually tired of them by the time our trip was over. The music was my FAVORITE - sounded like they were playing No Shoes Nation, but without any station identification, so probably just a comparable playlist that was PERFECT for the setting. You can see the reflection of most sunsets, which was an added perk. It's no where near the display of sunrise, but nice. We really loved this spot, and it was great to walk back to our condo.

Food - Ordered the chowder fries, the fried calamari, and a the Miami vice. The chowder in the chowder fries was good, the fries were just ok because they were not as crispy as I like. The fried calamari was a standalone star, it was seasoned very well and flash fried, definitely a repeat purchase. The drink was weak, I saw the bartender literally splash the rum in the drink from my table, I meant to say something but it took so look to get our drinks that by the time they arrived I forgot.

Service - the service was very lax

Location - located at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier. The location has a good size parking lot but you need to pay before 4PM

Ambiance - very nice open air beach pier with reggae and soft rock playing

When you see a Tiki Tavern at the end of a pier on a beach in FL, you can assume it will have a good view. Good does not begin to describe it! You also probably assume that it will be expensive with average food and service. WRONG! I had the Longboard Burger and fries and it was not only reasonably priced, but it was really good! Drink was also good and price equal to any other bar. Waitress was friendly and attentive. I sat at the "bar" overlooking the ocean, so it was a little nerve wracking to not drop anything or let it blow away because it would have gone straight into the ocean. Also, the birds were very present (in the whole place) trying their best to get a bite. You could choo them away and it's not like they'd attack you, but they were not shy in the least.

I would definitely recommend and sitting at the counter overlooking the ocean was breathtaking. Only thing to keep in mind, since it's at a long pier sticking out into the ocean, they close if it's storming/going to storm. They totally had the procedure down, but keep that in mind if you don't want a rushed/interrupted meal.

This is right at the end of the pier so you can enjoy the sounds of the waves as you drink. The bar staff are great and make a wonderful section of cocktails. I recommend the key lime pie! You can choose to sit at the bar and chat with your neighbors or take a seat at the bar looking out over the ocean or beach, The guitar player on Thursday evening was very good too.

This was the first stop for us during a Friday night of bar hopping. Located at the end of the Cocoa Beach pier, you will find this cute bar with a great view offering wonderful sunsets, or great viewing of rocket launches. On this particular Friday, there was live music provided by a sole guitarist who was all too happy to take and play all of our requests. On a windy and wavy night as this one was, this place rocks, in more ways than one!

Didn't eat, just went for a few drinks and dropped $30 like in a heartbeat. However, you are out in the ocean and taking pictures of surfers from behind them is awesome!

Stop by shop for silvoniershop in the stores and have a drink and some food and watch the dolphins in the ocean.

Let me start by saying that the view is amazing ....BUT that's the only good thing about this place. We do alot of bar hopping while in cocoa beach and there are lots of bars on the water with a great view, great drinks and great prices. This place is not worth it! Alcohol is measured out in drinks.... very weak. And extremely overpriced!! Service is very slow. Ordered 1 bud light... 1 vodka and cran (house vodka) and a Sprite and it was $17.50. Now listen, I dont mind paying a lil more money for a good drink or great atmosphere, but neither exists here. There are many other bars on the water in cocoa beach AND port canerval with great drink specials, beautiful views and a really great atmosphere. Examples: Coconuts, The beach hut, Rusty's, Gators, and Grills .

As a long term bartender from a resort in Key West, I can’t help but pay attention to all the details and employee interactions. The food is good enough, the view is wonderful, the service was amazing. Danielle greeted me even though I was sitting at the bar and she was serving tables. The bartenders were busy and couldn’t get to me right away. Nice touch, Danielle. Sue was bartending that day and made me feel very comfortable and we had a great conversation. She’s been there for a long time for good reason. I appreciate you both. Thank you!

My mom and I went to Cocoa Beach for her 50th birthday and visited this restaurant on the pier. Super windy day so it was quite chilly but really fun experience! The staff was nice and helpful. Food and drinks were good too. Great time!

Super friendly service. Fast and friendly.
Jen and Gina were on top of everything.
There view here along with the waves crashing and the food make this a must go.

Nice place to spend an afternoon, had a beautiful ocean breeze,the staff were great and food was good.

We ordered the fun at the beach and the pieradise drinks and Josh delivered them perfectly mixed. We also ordered the sesame crusted tuna, peel and eat shrimp, grilled pineapple wrap, and the pier burger. We definitely recommend this place to at least have a view of the ocean. There is a $2 token purchase required to walk into the last section of the pier where the tavern is located. The good news is that token can be used to buy items at this tavern. Josh was attentive to our needs although he was clearly busy. I think that it was more fun than Disney World, but the kids disagree.

Amazing location over the swell. Drink a cold beer and enjoy great service. They use pasta straws which I think is a real positive also!

The view was great and the atmosphere was fun. Prices are a bit steep, as others in the pier and tourist area. Nice little spot to grab a drink and try to cool down a bit.

We went to the Cocoa Beach Pier and had so much fun at Rikki Tiki Tavern! The food was great and you can't beat the atmosphere if you love the beach!

Had a great time at the Rikki Vikki tavern. Located at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier, it offers a great view with wonderful staff. Gina and Aaron made some amazing drinks, best mojitos on the beach! This place is also family friendly. They even have a kids menu, even though it is not on the regular menu. Next time we are in Cocoa Beach we will come here again.

Great place to go if you're a tourist and want to people watch or even for locals who want a decent drink....but you'll pay dearly for it. And if you want food, go somewhere else. The wings I had were the second worst in town (overcooked), and the largest oyster I had was about the size of a quarter. I asked my waitress about them in advance.
She says, "Everyone says they're so big."
I say, "good, because they're seasonal, and we're on the shoulder."
She comes by later to ask about my order, and I tell her they're tiny.
"Everybody loves them and says they're so big." And she walks off.
Alrighty then.

We went at about 7pm in early March. A cold wind had us shivering. We ended up there because there was a 40 minute wait at pelicans. Probably didn’t save much time because we didn’t get food until 45 minutes after we ordered. It was bar food. I had chicken wings which looked like meatballs. More like chicken McNuggets than wings. People and servers were nice.

I was at this place on March 8th. Very beautiful restaurant location, right above the waves of the ocean. Very tasty meals, quality service. Special thanks to the employee Galina, she is the best waiter in this restaurant!

We had not planned it, but our first visit to Cocoa Beach included two rocket launches. Our first one was on the evening of 16 Dec and we ventured out to the Cocoa Beach Pier for the first one. It was worth the extra $5 per person cover charge. Get there 2 hours before a launch and enjoy a good meal and beverage with excellent service and views of Cape Canaveral!

Nice restaurant at the ocean side.
The Service was very good. Food very tasty. Thank you Tina for the hospitality.
A must see whenever you will visit Cocoa Beach

It is a lot fun to sit out at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier and have dinner and something to drink. The Seafood Chowder was excellent as was the salad and burrito. Our server Galina was friendly, attentive and helpful. There are surfers on one side of the pier and swimmers on the other, great location. Hope to go again soon.

Great place to have a couple of drinks and watch the waves come in. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere.

Grab your favorite drink and sit at the seats overlooking the water. Take it in the sunshine and watch the turtles, dolphin and other fish swim by or listen to the live music. Fantastic place!

If you are looking for good drinks and a wonderful view, this is a must do. Beautiful sunsets. Cost 2.00 per person to go on the pier, but you get a token for 2.00 to be applied to your purchase on the pier

We LOVE coming to this bar! The drink menu is a bit different now-but still good! Tina was our waitress yesterday (Sunday July 18th)-she was GREAT-attentive, personable, efficient and friendly. It was a pleasure as usual! We highly recommend it here. ANd the views cant be beat!

We used this as a meeting spot before heading to our event. the son went away and the rain came down...hard but we made it work and once cleared up the views were amazing!

If you want a beautiful pier to enjoy the sun and waves this is the place! The drinks were delicious and the food was just fine. We weren't there for the food but for the atmosphere and experience. The service can be slow, they are very busy and the food has to come from the kitchen which is a distance away, but we were not in a hurry (that's the whole point!). We found our server Meghan very helpful and appreciated them sanitizing the tables and offering hand sanitizer. I hope we get to go back some day!

You can't beat the view. We were there on a beautiful day and it was very busy. The food is average but it's a fun place with friendly, hardworking staff.

We were initially hesitant to pay the $2.00 per person fee to visit this end of pier tavern, however, we were pleasanly surprised with great views and seating. We were glad we visited the pier end. The pier staff give you $2.00 chips for paying the fee, to make a purchase at the tavern if you like, otherwise, they can make a great souvenir.

The food was excellent. The drinks are standard quick tourist drink type. Family oriented. Very nice.

Cold drinks over the ocean with shade and great bartenders like Sue and Gina. Food can be ordered and its quite good.

Tavern is located at the end of the pier, making it the prime view/Vista spot. Sitting at the edge relaxing with a drink, enjoying the wind and the ocean is very pleasant. Staff are nice and unobtrusive.

Super fun and gorgeous views. Gina and Alexis were very attentive and made delicious fruity cocktails!! Glad we stopped in!!!

We were concerned about coming here because of many recent poor reviews. But since it was close walking distance from the hotel, we decided to try it anyway. You still have to wait at the entrance for security to let you in because they are limiting capacity but you don't have to wear a mask and can choose which restaurant you want to go to. All three restaurants have the same menu and drinks. So we went to the end of the pier to this place. And we were pleasantly surprised. Service was great, the view was awesome. Drinks were really good and the food was great. Pricing really wasn't bad either. I would recommend this because it's a great place to go and enjoy the views of the ocean while enjoying drinks and/or a snack.

Best experience I’ve had at a beach restaurant. I was not expecting the food to be as good as it was or the service to be as excellent. Our waiter, Harnes, was fantastic. The food came quickly and was truly delicious. I was so impressed with this establishment. It was exactly what I’ve always wanted a vacation experience to be.
