TIKI GRILL on South Milton Road in Flagstaff offers a casual dining experience centered on fresh, flavorful takes on seafood and comfort food with a Pacific Northwest and island-inspired twist. This full-service restaurant brings a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere that fits well with Flagstaff’s eclectic food scene, making it a comfortable spot for families, couples, and groups looking for something a bit different from the usual mountain-town fare.

The menu focuses heavily on seafood, from whole fried red snapper to white fish and shrimp tacos, alongside hearty bar-friendly options like the Pittsburger loaded with fries and slaw, and the indulgent High Country Poutine topped with cheese curds and pork belly gravy. Many dishes lean into bold, island-style seasonings—like the Tiki Rubbed Wings offering a lighter Cajun dry rub—and fresh ingredients that stand out without overpowering the palate. Portions are generous but not overwhelming, which makes it easy to explore multiple plates or share among friends.

The staff are known to be welcoming and knowledgeable, often making personalized recommendations that highlight crowd favorites such as the blackened fish tacos and shrimp bites with their crisp yet delicate coating. The casual setting is lively but not noisy, with an unpretentious feel that keeps the focus squarely on enjoying the food and company.

For families, the kids’ options—like grilled cheese or chicken fingers—are straightforward but made with care, allowing parents to relax knowing there’s something simple and tasty for younger diners. The dessert choices, including the Ooey Gooey Butter Bar and customizable ice cream floats, offer a sweet finish without going over the top.

Visitors eager to try TIKI GRILL will find it well-suited for midday meals or early dinners, especially after outdoor activities like hiking or skiing when a satisfying yet fresh meal hits the spot. The combination of skillfully prepared seafood, creative comfort classics, and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere make it a steady favorite for those who appreciate flavorful food with a bit of island spirit tucked into Flagstaff’s mountain-town mix.

Ordered sweet potato biscuits, chicken wings dry rub, angus burger no bun med rare and blackened salmon. The sweet potato biscuits were dense and very delicious. Add some butter and makes it a winner. Burger was done to med rare and tasty. I don't put much in my burgers. Wings were good with a lighter Cajun? Dry rub, not that spicy. Wife had blackened salmon and she loved it. Cooked perfectly. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. Atmosphere was festive with island music jams playing over the speakers. Please don't hesitate to stop if your looking for some local tasty food and want to stay away from the big chains. Worth it to stop in.

Our family favorite! This is our go to spot. Havent had anything we didnt like! The Southwest shrimp gumbo is amazing! Better than that Cajun spot in Flagstaff, which we also enjoy. Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Ahi poke tacos are to die for! Kids love the burgers. Yummy homemade pickles. Nice crunchy fries. Garlicky cheese curds . All the staff are super friendly, great owner who cares about his customers! Love the atmosphere. Will keep coming back again and again

So happy we stopped here after snowboarding! One of the guys behind the bar recommended the Blackened fish taco and it was great, with large portions and not too spicy. My daughter got the fried shrimp bites and they were the best shrimp I've ever had! The light but crunchy coating was amazing and shrimp cooked perfectly. We finished with the Ooey Gooey red velvet with ice cream and it's something I'll be dreaming about! A huge portion and unlike any dessert I've had! All the food was reasonably priced and the atmosphere is so relaxed and clean. We will eat here again when we visit Flagstaff.

Amazing experience! From the great service, the food, and the atmosphere. I had one of their popular hamburgers with slaw and French fries!! with a side of salad. Everything was delicious. The ranch dressing was creamy and thick. The cute guy taking orders was friendly and attentive and the overall atmosphere was amazing and beautiful. 100% recommended. I also had one of those cheesecake/bread displayed on the counter. Mouthwatering. I wish I remembered its name
