    Went with my hubby on a Sunday night, and wow—what a gem! This place is the real deal when it comes to tiki vibes. The decor is immersive and authentic, instantly transporting you to a tropical paradise. But let’s talk about the drinks—easily on par with the greats like False Idol and Mothership, which is no small feat. The service? Impeccable. You can tell the staff genuinely love what they do, and it makes all the difference. Our bartender, Kate, was an absolute riot—fun, engaging, and seriously talented behind the bar. Steve and Richard were also fantastic, making sure everyone had a great time. As for the drinks, we tried the Kobra Kai, Penicillin, and Elevated Dole Whip. All were stellar, but the Kobra Kai? Absolutely next level. Bold, balanced, and just perfection in a glass. And the food—wow. We had the Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks, and let me just say: omg. Crispy, creamy, and packed with flavor, they were the perfect complement to the drinks. All in all, The Lobby Tiki Bar & Grill is a must-visit for any tiki lover. Great atmosphere, incredible drinks, and top-notch service—what more could you ask for? Can’t wait to go back…

    Very solid tiki option with food in Oceanside. Cocktails and food are great. Not many tables so make a reservation.

    It’s an awesome vibe! Cool drink selection. I ordered the Chilaquiles, which were a little too tangy with only 1 egg and a bunch of chips. The French toast looked good, egg sandwiches looked good, donuts were delicious!

    Absolutely love this tiki bar. It’s our second time visiting and can’t wait to come back. Food is great. Bartenders and drinks are amazing and love the manager we met both times. Super friendly and inviting.

    Welcome to the neighborhood. You’ve got all the right ingredients but could use a little fine tuning. First off the music selection was on point but it’s a tad too loud. Couldn’t have a conversation while enjoying drinks and dinner. Second, everyone from the tiki world will try your Mai Tai first and judge your place based on the quality of it. The particular rums used in your version lack a certain depth and flavor. Has all the right pieces. Lastly, as you grow I encourage you to swap out some of the more generic semi-tiki decor elements with more authentic gear. Turns out there are some vendors right here in Oceanside that can help! Overall great place and I loved my Kaula tacos

    This place is fun. The food was better than average and the cocktails were creative and well executed. The tiki theme is well done, right down to the soundtrack. Inside is more vibes than the outdoor patio. The service on the patio was a little slow. That’s the one area they could step it up.

    The atmosphere and service were great. We went for brunch and the food was underwhelming to put it mildly. We had kalua pork and chicken and waffles which were basic, would not come again for the food. Maybe dinner menu is better?
