    Food and service was excellent

    Mya, our server exceptional! She was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! I got the steak Tiki tacos which were incredibly flavorful! My husband had the Tiki beef (chili) nachos. Also, incredibly tasty and the portions are extremely generous. The atmosphere is definitely giving bar vibes and the multiple tv's going at once with loud music in the background makes it a bit more difficult to have conversations but all in all it was an enjoyable experience! Also: the breeze coming off the river was delightful! One of my favorite things about living in Florida is the outdoor dining experiences!

    This is how the ribs came out and the bar tender manager tried to tell me people have been eating them like this all day!!! The were burnt Beyond repair!!!

    Friendly Accommodating faces welcome you to an open air environment with river breezes. Next level service, and incredible food. The only reason for 5 stars is there was not 6.

    Fun spot offering an outstanding Tiki Bar menu.

    We went to our nephews graduation at Canada Shores. Talk about amazing!! Everything was delicious If you are hungry order the nachos...WOW. I got the Chicken wrap, and it was sooo good!!!

  • May 25, 2026

    Came here for the Real Fries🍟🍟 and we will return. The Fries fully met our expectation! It is hard to find somewhere to get a Burger and Fries these days. The majority of restaurants and switched to the Frozan Coated Fries 😫👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 I could do Frozen if they left the coating behind. That is even hard to find. Genesis was a Joy! She was very pleasant and had a GREAT Attitude!! So we will return for the Fries and Genesis!! Only negative is the attached Hightops don't face the River. It would be exceptional if they added Grouper to the Menu.

    The nachos are amazing and enough for 2 people for lunch. The staff is always really friendly and it's usually pretty clean.

  • May 16, 2026

    Excellent food and service! Wife and I shared nachos and they tied for the base nachos that we’ve ever eaten! The other great place is in Vegas. Very, very impressive! Son got a burger and fries and loved it. It looked like a great, restaurant style burger and was perfectly cooked to order. Lots of young ladies working there with unusually great, friendly attitudes and excellent service. Pretty great experience! These guys are doing everything right!

    Tonight we stopped into cabana after a while from our first stop in. The food was fantastic as always, the loaded sautéed potato’s are to die for! Always order DIRTY 😜 drinks were good and the service was spectacular! Terra greeted us as the door and was super accommodating throughout our experience! Dell was our waitress and was so sweet and fun to chat with! Our experience was 10/10 and will be back soon!

    I had the Plain Jane nachos with chili and they were delicious. Everyone else loved their food. It was a great, fun atmosphere and the bartenders were awesome!

  • May 7, 2026

    We have enjoyed great lunches twice now at Cabana Shores. The wraps are great and the sweet potato fries are crispy and delicious. Service is fast and friendly.

    First Wednesday of the month - smoked BBQ wings; ribs & brisket!! Simply the BEST!!

  • May 7, 2026

    Went to Cabana Shores Tiki Bar and Grill for dinner with friends. Had the blackened cobia sandwich and fries. The cobia was awesome.👍😎 We had a party of 7 and our server was fast and efficient. All 7 of us ordered different things and everyone enjoyed their meals. The only drawback to this place in my eyes is that it sits right on US1 and the traffic is very loud and it's like a speedway in that area. With it sitting on the west side of the road and the Banana River on the east side of the highway, the view is great and the open windows are great for ventilation but the traffic is really loud at times. That's no fault of Cabana Shores, though.

    This was our first time there. It was nice. Our server, Genesis was a delight. She was friendly, personable and answered all our questions. It is noisy in the front, suggesting to sit in back area. The food was very good. We will be going back.

    Best burgers and fries around!

  • April 10, 2026

  • April 10, 2026

    Food is always great and he beer is always cold. If this two things make you happy check it out we love it!

  • March 30, 2026

    If you can't stop by for Mac and cheese Mondays then you should definitely try the nachos or bacon cheeseburger. Wait staff is super nice, food is great and overall just a great place to eat.
