Best KPortal Reviews
service was nice, fast, food was good, quesadillas with chicken, pork / shrimp, cuba sandwich, tacos with fish ????????
How fun is Thursday's at the Tiki Bar. Live music and BOGO on Fish & Chips. Our whole family had fun.
Great spot for personable live music, open air seating and craft beer in Gulf Port! Debbie was a great beer tender. Will be back to try the reviewed tacos. A few steps to get into the main building which holds the rest area, patio to the left of entrance ground level and shaded, tables out front ground level and a couple of covered patios, one sunken on the right of entrance.
Server was not attentive. Took forever to be waited on after we were seated. After a long wait we were finally able to order. Waiting time to get our food was almost 40 minutes and all we ordered was 1/2 lb of peel and eat shrimp and a sandwich with fries. I asked the server to cut the sandwich and bring on 2 plates with fries divided on the plates as we only wanted a snack. When the food arrived, it was all on one plate. The fries were way overcooked, dark brown and crunchy as well as cold. I had asked for mayo, and extra cocktail sauce for the shrimp. Neither was brought. Overall a terrible experience. We will never spend our money on the place again.
Fun little open air tiki bar atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly and remembered our order without writing anything down!! They have live music often. They also offer nightly food and drink specials.
Great place to dine and have drinks with friends. We really enjoyed the food but the best part was our awesome server Vanessa ????????
Great bar Great vibe ????
Awesome bar and restaurant facing the beach side of Gulfport. Enjoyed drinks and dinner at reasonable prices. Grilled chicken salad was so good - loaded with caramelized pecans and cheese - delicious!!
Good and Bad!
Positives first....Service was good. Food was very good. 2 of us ordered the burger sliders special and felt they were a little well done for our preference, but neither asked for them to be cooked medium and meat was still tasty. The mahi sandwich special was good and the pork chimichanga was enough for 2 people! Between the table we had 6 of the $4 Saturday Sangria specials. They were decent size and very good. Last, the homemade key lime pie with homemade whipped topping was awesome!
Negative.... just one but it is a HUGE one to us! 3 of us ordered off of the specials board (see pic below). Nowhere on the menu or the specials board does it say the prices listed are based on cash payment!! When we asked for checks, our server brought a tablet and verified what each ordered (2 tickets, 1 table). I noticed the special I ordered was $15.75 instead of $15 and wife's was $16.80 rather than $16.00. When I inquired, server said it must include taxes on each item. The answer seemed acceptable at the time so I said OK. AT THAT TIME I gave her the card to pay. She then swiped it on tablet and put both in front of me. The screen I was looking at was the amount of tip and signature. I asked for a receipt and server said she would print one in the back. Process repeated for other people at the table.
I then went to the restroom and passed the server coming with my receipt. Upon looking at it I saw that on top the higher priced charges were listed AND TAXES ALSO SHOWED BELOW! I asked to speak to the manager and the owner came to discuss with me. Her answer was that using a credit/debit card to pay triggers the higher costs. If I had paid cash, the cost is as written on the board.
I pointed out the special board that showed $15 and $16 and no reference to higher costs and nothing is said on the printed menu.
Her answer to that is somewhere in small print on the tablet it shows a total for card use and another for cash payment, which I told her I don't think I ever saw. It certainly wasn't pointed out to us.
I also pointed out that we aren't given the tablet to "make a choice" until AFTER the card was swiped by the server, so how could I choose?
I feel this is completely underhanded. Whats funny is that the Sangrias all appeared as $4.00 and not higher for card use while all other charges had a premium on them, even my Coke. Just print the higher costs on the menu! It may have made a difference of what we ordered or even if we stayed to eat there. Maybe that is what the owners are afraid of??
One last issue with this--- after getting home and calculating the difference in costs, I figured it is a 5% premium to pay with a card. That is ridiculous. Merchant fees are around 25 - 40 cents a swipe and 2.5% - 3.5% of the total bill charged. In other words, they not only deceptively recover the merchant fees they pay, they also make a profit on it!!!!
What started off as a great time turned into a bad experience. We will not go back and certainly will not recommend to any of our friends or you!
