Lei-Lo Tiki Hut "On the Water"

Hubby and I ate here for the 1st time last weekend. Nice on the water seating. Not alot of seating out there but we went in between lunch and dinner so we had our choice. I can't vouch for the entire menu, but what we had was delicious. I ordered the shrimp tacos, blackened, hubby got the shrimp po boy. Both were very fresh, tasty and cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.

Impulse stop based on ratings. Not disappointed. Waitress immediately informed us that they were short staffed, like most places in the area following Hurricane Ian, which was totally understandable. We enjoyed the view of the shrimp boats and setting Sun. My husband ordered the Shrimp and Grits and I ordered the Snapper but ended up getting something like glazed Scallops, which were delicious, because they were out of the Snapper. Regardless, although a bit pricey, it was worth the trip considering the graceful staff (including cook), beautiful setting Sun, and simply delightful food. Will return.

Scott Ferris: was our waiter, and he was great. The food was amazing, get the shrimp it's the Best I've had in years, and we live in Tampa. Definitely a Must Try restaurant!!

The $4 margaritas are the best! The sangria was good. My husband ordered the crab cakes and loved them. I ordered the pot roast and loved it. The coconut pineapple rice was wonderful. We will definitely come back here....alot!

I've eaten several things on this menu and have yet to have a bad meal. Service is excellent (we love Krystyna, Joseph, Andi, and Gale) they always take such great care of us. The peel and eat shrimp are the best we've had in the area. Same with the key lime pie and mozzarella fins. Can't find them better anywhere around. My go-to is usually the fish or chicken tacos but on special occasions I'll have the scallops on a bed of pineapple coconut rice. YUM! This is by far our favorite place to dine in the Hernando Beach area and we bring friends and family here any chance we get because it's always a hit. Definitely call in advance for reservations, especially during peak times like weekends and evenings. The outside dining area is great when the weather permits (though it is covered for shade and rain). They have live music on Thursday and Friday nights out on the patio. They also makes the best margaritas that are $4 all day every day. Their special holiday menus are awesome, too.
