One of our favorite summer spots. Beautiful view, great drinks and food. We always say it feels like vacation when we are there. Highly recommend the coconut shrimp because you get a lot for your money and the tatanka wings are a must!

This place is such a hidden gem! Amazing drinks, food, service and views. Donna is the most incredible server, if you are lucky enough to get her. We had soft crab tacos and a crabcake sandwich. As I was eating it, lump meat would fall out of it! They were the most incredible crab cakes I have ever had and I have lived on the shore for 50 years!

The Big Owl Tiki Bar is a great place to go to just hang out and have good food and enjoy the live entertainment. The bar has a good assortment of cold beers and has specialy drinks such as the pineapple and orange crushes. The atmosphere is awesome, everyone is having a great time dancing and interacting with each other in conversation. This is a great place to go to immerse yourself in a fun and exciting environment and just sit back, relax and enjoy the tiki bar life. Highly recommend Big Owl's.
