Tiki Bar

The food here is a bit overpriced for what you get.  However, it is hard to beat the location.  Located on the north end of where the Swan River enters Flathead Lake, this location is ideal for Marina Cay Resort guests, as well as casual boaters who can dock right next to the Tiki Bar.  The food menu is mostly burgers, sandwiches, salad and finger foods.  Perhaps most important to the patrons, the Tiki Bar has a full bar menu including solid beer choices, mixed drinks, blender drinks, buckets of beer, wine, and 64oz drinks that can be made strong or "stronger".  We came on the 4th of July, and they were not serving the full food menu.  Instead, for $11, you had a choice of burger, hot dog, chicken, or ribs with a plate of veggies, potato salad, and pasta salad.  Most of the food was rather average, but the ribs were surprisingly good.  They were tender and well-cooked, a solid half rack, and were drenched in a nice, tangy sauce.  They did not last long.  The service was excellent.  Food arrived quickly, drinks were refilled instantly, and we were very well attended to.  The crowd here on this fine summer day was very eclectic.  One corner was full of bikers, another was full of well to do boaters, another was more of a younger party boat group, and the rest of the restaurant was sprinkled with Bigfork locals, and summer visitors.
