Reviews for The Tilted Tiki Tropical Bar & Restaurant in Stillwater, MN
I won't comment on the service/ friendliness of our server as I feel they are short staffed, as many places are currently. I was... disappointed in the food, however. Ordered cheese curds which given their restaurant theme is to come with a "Maui onion" dustand guava ketchup. These were just mediocre cheese curds with normal ketchup. They either forgot to add in the other elementssomehow or they add in the flavor minimally as I would've thought they were a regular curd with a side of ketchup otherwise. Ialso tried the Huli Huli Chicken. These were chicken thighs, whichnormally tend to be a bit more moist. These were a bit moreon the dry side, unfortunately. And while I had been looking forward to the pineapple rice, I found the pineapple flavor to behugely overpowering and it seemed the caramelized Huli Chicken flavor was lost due to the flavor of the rice. My favorite partof the meal was the sweet potato fries, which were cooked excellently. The drinks were delicious and came in cute glasses, andthe atmosphere, of course, is fun and different. All in all, while I can't recommend the food, I would recommend the drinks andthe atmosphere. Read more
Location is great, really nice to be right there in stillwater with everyone. The overall look of the place is just not... consistent. Tropical theme while rap music plays in the background, drink cups are tropical but the plates are fancy with blacknapkins ????. I wish that was where the confusion stopped but unfortunately the decor spilled right onto the menu. Just pick astyle, For example I got a peanut butter and jelly bacon burger screams tropical. She got a plain cheeseburger, The drinks arefine... Anyone can make a tropical drink and charge $16 for it not a real impressive feat. But anyways on to the food, the wingswere the highlight, very delicious I actually would go back for those. I'm not sure why the sauce selection is with the dressingselections, think that's just being difficult. The burger ugh, thin slices of charred meat, just poor execution on what Ithought would of been a good burger ......and the crispy flats were soggy. I'd give it another try. it wasn't horrible.

Good food, friendly service. Lots of vegan options! Unfortunately their kitchen closed about 2.5 hours before the bar closed, so... many people were turned away and we were the last people in the outdoor seating area. Read more
My partner and I visited Stillwater for the day, and we decided to try out The Tilted Tiki. The decor was so fun and festive. We... loved the kitschy ambiance. Our server was really attentive and friendly, and we enjoyed the experience of dininghere. However, the food and drinks we ordered left much to be desired. The cheese curds were the highlight - crispy, savory,and not too greasy. They came with a guava ketchup, which was fine, but I think they would be better paired with classic ketchupor ranch. The guava taste was distracting. The fish tacos were solidly ok. We both agreed that they were missing something. Wethink that adding pico, mango salsa, or a pickled slaw might do the trick. The actual fish was pretty good and very peppery, butthe tacos just weren?t balanced. I ordered a virgin piña colada, and it wasn?t blended. I overheard the server telling anothertable that they don?t blend any drinks at the establishment, which I find to be odd, especially for a piña colada. My drink wassuper sweet and tasted like coconut pineapple juice on ice. Overall, it was a fine experience, but for the price, we wereexpecting more. Read more
Great service, really cool vibe with the tropical/ocean theme. Loved all the fun cocktails on the menu as well! Will... definitely come back during the summer for the patio atmosphere. Read more
This place was great. I am a rum person and have taught Cocktail Making classes. Their cocktails are amazing. Their staff were... amazing and accommodating. Sheri was so nice and fun to have. They found out we came for our anniversary and surprised us withrocks glasses with some high quality rum on the house. We didn't expect that. Can't wait to come back multiple times withfriends. They also have gluten free options for food and their food menu looked great. Read more
We came here on a whim, the outdoor patio appealing on the gorgeous autumn day that we happened to be wandering the streets of... Stillwater. Our first interaction with staff cemented the decision; the host was friendly, welcoming, and quickly seated uswith the assurance a waiter would be returning quickly. The menu here is extensive, particularly for us, the vegetable-basedoptions! We had a tough time deciding between the variety of different dishes, and there are so many more I would love to goback to try some day. The drink menu was also filled with options, all with fun names and creative containers like shaped mugsand glasses. Once we put in our order, the service was quick and the staff extremely polite throughout, even adding in funenergy with enthusiastic delivery and interaction. We would definitely come here again. Many thanks to the amazing staff forthe fun experience. ???? Read more
Thank you for offering so many vegan options and for clearly marking which drinks have dairy! We enjoyed our time on time... dog-friendly patio. Also, so glad we saved room for the vegan dessert tacos! Read more
