The service and live music were great, as was the huge pretzel. Unfortunately the salad that my wife got and my burger were not. My bacon cheeseburger with no tomato came with tomato and no bacon and the burger was dry and bland which makes me think it was a premade, frozen patty and the spinach salad was about as basic as they come. It could be a great little place if they fix their food situation.

Visited the beach knowing I had to pop in on the Tiki Hut to see what was going on. Wow, at 3pm on a Friday afternoon in December - the place was PACKED. Barely found a table!
There was an awesome band playing, one of my buddy's favorite, so we had to stay. Don't plan on having a conversation while a band is playing here, it is super loud, but so fun!
Servers on an island are hit or miss, but our server was SO nice, she actually took a minute to chat about the band when she came back to check on us for the 2nd time. It was starting to thin out, as the band had finished.
We were approached pretty quickly when we sat down. I ordered some nachos $12 and added chicken $6. They use white cheese, which I much prefer over that nacho cheese so many bars use. A healthy dose of jalapenos with the chicken piled on made it yummy!
A White Claw was $9.
I'm glad we stopped in, it was so fun and we chatted with other patrons also - after it quieted down, lol. On my receipt it's called 'The Porch', just an fyi. Enjoy!

The menu online is not correct,you have to go to the website to see the correct menus. We got the Low Country Boil.It lacked flavor.The potatos were half cooked.The butter sauce was on the bottom of the bowl.It was a steam with Ole Bay seasoning sprinkled on it. Our server was very pleasant and the sweet tea was very good.We took what we didn't eat with us I'm going to flavor it. The dish is over priced 1/2 pd of large shrimp and sausage with potatoes and corn,paired with a salad and pretzel bread stick. The hand full of salad was good. Mixed greens, carrots and heirloom tomatoes w/ house ranch.We didn't have a choice of dressing.I don't think I will dine there again.I may try Happy hour????
