A Very Taki Tiki Bar & Grill

The service was good here, nice and friendly. A friend and I ordered a drink in the early evening, a week night, when no one else was there. The drinks were terrible, almost non-​drinkable, unfortunately, and definitely not worth the price.
It is probably meant tongue-​in-​cheek to be «tacky» and that it is, as far as ambience and atmosphere. That can be cute too, but we weren’t that impressed by all the plastic palm trees and things that badly needed dusting.
The worst part was when I was actually going to the Loft across the street on another occasion, during a busy «rush time» weekend night. There were more than a dozen people spilling out of Taki Tiki onto the street who were very drunk, some falling down with a smack onto the pavement, all very rowdy, many yelling, and one or two harassing me in their drunkenness as I tried to walk to the Loft. Woah… big problem!
Update: I upped my star rating because I was contacted within 9 minutes of writing this review by a very conscientious owner who said he would investigate and remedy any issues that need it. That’s an impressive response by a business owner who obviously cares about customer satisfaction! Kudos to business owner Bryan!

Go to place for pub style food. Great selection of beers and TV viewing from all angles. Kid friendly which is a plus!

They make a very nice BLT with avocado. We usually stop in here after a hard couple hours of painting ceramics next door. I’ve never been disappointed. Very friendly staff and lots of screens for football viewing pleasure.

I come here occasionally when there are charities I want to attend to for cancer or MS drives. I meet up with friends here to join in for games and of course, to give support. This place always do a great job accommodating these functions. Staff is always fast and nice.
Of course, there is little alcohol in the picture AND food. They have pretty good appetizers here that fills me up quickly. Here they serve sliders, mac and cheese, salads, chicken buffalo wings, which are all pretty good and very reasonable.
Service is always nice. Every now and then there is a DJ who spins and sometimes a live band that plays for a good hour or so – especially in the summer time.
Nice open space and lots of drinks on. They have TV all over the place. It’s also a good place to go to see sports games. Their menu is just right and very simple. Crowd is always upbeat and fun.

Ok one of my Fav place now serves the nachos on paper in a plastic basket… seriously? Everything was stuck to the paper, but the parts I was able to peel off the paper was good. Please go back to a plate for nachos!!!

I keep wanting to like this place but repeatedly leave disappointed. I went for a weekday lunch with my boyfriend so it was pretty slow. Just a couple other tables were filled and yet the service was still snail speed. The bartender wasn’t warm at all. It seemed like he didn’t want to be there. The burgers were very mediocre and the buns could not support the insides and broke apart quickly. The only upside was the fun décor, but it unfortunately did not make up for the poor service and not so quality food.

Came here with a girlfriend for a bite to eat. The bar tender provided great service and suggestions. The grilled cheese with Havarti was delicious, and the Tiki (bar special) drink was one of the best drinks I’ve had yet. If I am ever in the mood to go to bars with friends in Edmonds, I will come here again for that Tiki drink.

I started going to Taki Tiki when I was looking for a place to live in Edmonds. I was warmly greeted and treated like family. The staff is friendly and professional. I ran into an issue with a new bartender and discussed it with the owner. He listened to my concern and made it right.
I am glad to say this business will not lose me as a customer ! Thank you Brian you are a hands on owner. I love the HH tacos with the tots ! see ya soon TAKI TIKI !!!

Good food and good people! You gotta love a good dive bar! This one is among the best! If your looking for a good place to watch a game and have some great pub food and drinks, come on down.

I love anything and everything tiki and this place is no exception! They have an excellent happy hour with $ 5 mai tais and a large selection of food deals. My boyfriend and I moved near by and we’ve been there oh so many times since then! Can’t pass up a great tiki happy hour! Great street tacos, great tots and even better mai tais!

(visit: high season Sunday, mid-​evening HH)
What’s better than cold, delicious drinks on one of the hottest days of the year?
How about a great happy hour with smokin’ prices on said cold drinks???
On top of that, a killer HH menu full of great pub grub at reasonable prices!
On top of THAT, a relaxing front patio set-​up with umbrellas and relaxing seating.
Then the coup-​de-​gras? One of the nicest and friendliest servers I’ve experienced all year!
Yeah, Taki Tiki, you certainly won us over on our impromptu stop. Expectations were exceeded!
We lucked out with timing on a Sunday Happy Hour; we were simply seeking refuge from a hot day on the Edmonds Waterfront with a rambunctious niece and nephew in tow. Desperately seeking a cocktail at this point ;) Called ahead to check on seating for the little ones. Gal on phone was super friendly and accommodating and confirmed that the patio was kid friendly.
The drink variety and prices were spot on; good selection of beer and cocktails. Food was pleasantly surprisingly for pub grub. House-​pulled pork highlighted many of the Mexican-​style dishes (the ‘Polynesian-​twist is the Kahlua-​marination I guess). We dug into a couple of orders of pulled pork nachos and quesadilla (this was monster-​sized!), and there was also a tasty shrimp cocktail ordered. A fairly lackluster fried mini chicken taco order was in there somewhere I think.
The highlight was the relaxed setup outside and the extraordinary service for a place like this. I wouldn’t usually expect that for a small town, pub-​style bar. I wish I had kept the receipt for the young woman’s name, as she was super warm and ingratiating; she really made us feel welcome and everything came out timely and perfect. Our appreciation was illustrated in our gratuity for sure.
This place will stay on my radar for Sunday Happy Hour. I can imagine it might be a bit chaotic here on Friday or Saturday nights, so I’ll make sure I stop by at times that will allow for a more pleasant, laid-​back experience.

I’ve been coming here ever since they opened years ago. Usually about twice a year. The food is good, albeit heavy. Service varies on who you gave and what time of day you come in. Happy hour food/​prices are some of the best in DT Edmonds. Sandwiches are definitely my go-​to.

5 star happy hour menu! Amazing prices for great food. We regularly get the pepper bacon burger and pulled pork sliders. There’s usually three of us and we each get a full meal, a drink and a dessert to share and always make it out for under $ 50 (including a generous tip for the awesome service). Our favorite happy hour spot in Edmonds.

Early dinner — happy Hour at a very interesting place. Yes, it’s tacky, but kinda of fun. Rock & Roll music from the 50’s & 60’s. Tacky Hawaiian décor along with being a sports bar with Seahawks, Mariner, UW and that other university flags. Happy Hour well drinks $ 5. Kalua pork nachos $ 7.99. Pretty good food. great drinks!

Love the interior! Bartender was welcoming and hilarious. Got the teriyaki wings and clams to start and they were to die for! Perfect for lunch, appys and drinks! Definitely coming back!

I had been to this restaurant a couple of times, and I absolutely loved their teriyaki wings! My husband and daughter were looking forward to try it as well. To our dismay, we were surprised that the wings were very salty. Server suggested to fry another batch and have the sauce on the side. Apparently, they buy the wings from a supplier and she was curious to see if it was just a bad batch, so we decided to give it another try.
Next batch of wings came. After one bite, we discovered that it was actually the wings that had the almost unbearable saltiness in it. Dipping it in the teriyaki and buffalo sauce made it worse, so we decided to dip it in ranch and blue cheese to make it bearable and mask the saltiness taste. At this point we were very hungry so we had some.
Server came and asked how the wings were, so we explained that it was indeed the wings that tasted funky. She immediately grabbed the remaining batch of wings containing more than half of the original serving and put it back in the kitchen.
Our bill came and we were shocked that we were charged for the wings. When asked why, the server said that they keep track of the wings that people consume! We paid and chucked it our loss.
Seriously…If you are going to take our food away without letting us even consume it and have the audacity to charge us full price. Very disappointing experience. In addition, place is not packed yet service is slow. Won’t be back. Not recommended. Please take your hard earned money someplace else.

Some great food, friendly service and an excellent breakfast buffet on football Sundays.
The only complaint is the burgers… have tried 2 or 3 different burgers and they always come out of the kitchen well done despite my request that they be cooked medium rare. I recommend the pretzel sticks, street tacos or the turkey wrap. The fries are delicious and are on par with McDonalds fries.

The inside is like a throw up of Aloha but I’m usually the only brown person in downtown edmonds so I enjoyed it! Great late night happy hour after 10pm on a Saturday and the food was actually pretty good. Try the street tacos!
Server was really warm and constantly checked on us throughout the night. Loved her!
Just great atmosphere and cheap drinks … In edmonds where the options are quite limited!

This place has gotten way better, I think they have new owners!
I didn’t try their food, but the drinks were great, service was friendly, and I had a nice experience sitting at their outdoor patio.
We’ll be back!

Really cool neighborhood bar. Great for watching sports with a group. TVs everywhere and great staff. The pepper burger + bacon was great and the hot wings were awesome. Teriyaki wings and nachos were both below average.
