Closed Permanently.. - Edit
On behalf of the family of Chris Goetzke, we want to share the difficult news that after being closed these past few months, The Tilted Tiki will remain permanently closed.
Read moreThis is not the ending any of us hoped for, especially in what would have been The Tilted Tiki’s 10th anniversary year. Closing this chapter is heartbreaking. The Tilted Tiki was never just a business to Chris or to our family. It was a place filled with good food, good drinks, laughter, music, conversation, friendship and countless memories.
To our hardworking staff:
Thank you for everything you gave to The Tilted Tiki. Your hard work, loyalty, patience, personalities and dedication helped make it the welcoming place so many people came to know and love. Chris cared deeply about the people who worked alongside him, and our family is grateful for all you did to keep the spirit of The Tilted Tiki alive.
To our customers:
Thank you for supporting Chris and The Tilted Tiki over the years. Whether you were a regular, stopped in during a visit to Stillwater, celebrated a special occasion, met friends for a drink or simply shared a meal, you helped make The Tilted Tiki what it was. Your support, kindness and memories mean more to our family than we can fully express.
To the musicians who played here:
Thank you for filling The Tilted Tiki with energy, talent and life. Your music created so many unforgettable nights and gave people another reason to gather, stay awhile and enjoy the moment. Chris loved the atmosphere live music brought to the place, and we are grateful to every musician who was part of that.
To the Stillwater community:
Thank you for embracing The Tilted Tiki and making it part of the fabric of this special river town. Stillwater was more than where the business was located. It became part of the heart of The Tilted Tiki, and we are grateful for the support, friendship and community shown to Chris and to our family.
Most of all, thank you for the kindness, support and memories. We are grateful The Tilted Tiki was part of so many lives, and we hope people will continue to remember it with the same warmth, humor and spirit Chris brought to it.
Tiki on, friends.
- Chris's family
"Dear Tiki friends,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that The Tilted Tiki’s owner and founder, Chris Goetzke, passed away peacefully this morning with family by his side after a year-long battle with glioblastoma.
Chris built The Tiki into more than a restaurant. It became a place for good food, laughter, music, friendships, celebrations, and countless memories. He loved the people who walked through the doors, and so many of you became part of The Tiki family.
We also want to acknowledge the many messages we’ve received recently asking about the status of the business. We’re sorry we haven’t been able to respond to everyone individually. These last few months have been focused on Chris and our family. Decisions about The Tilted Tiki will be made in the days and weeks ahead, and we’ll share more when we’re able.
For now, we simply want to say thank you to our customers, staff, friends, and community for all the good times shared with Chris over the years. Your support, kindness, stories, and friendship meant the world to him and to our family.
We are grateful for every memory made together.

Six plant based options! - Edit
This restaurant has a whole menu section for plant based dishes. I had the faux chicken wrap in pita bread with veggies and it was delicious. We enjoyed all the food here and having more than one vegan option means it is my new favorite restaurant. They have a great atmosphere and delicious cocktails. It feels like a mini vacation to the Caribbean. Highly recommend!

Good food and good drinks! - Edit
Went with some family. I got the vegan chicken pita wrap and my wife got the lotus burger. Both were delicious and we would get them again! Got a few cocktails as well which where fantastic. Went here a few years ago and didn’t have a great experience but they’ve revamped the menu since and the new food is waaaay better. We will be returning, great all around.

A bit disappointed - Edit
Giving 3 stars because they had an entire vegan menu; however everything we ordered wasn’t that good. It was meh...edible but blah and not very tasty. I brought an entire party of non-vegans to the restaurant and everyone ordered off of the vegan menu and I was a bit embarrassed at how not great the food was
Read morePros: Full vegan menu
Cons: Food is bland and not very tasty

Delicious tropical vegan food! - Edit
The Tilted Tiki's vegan menu is a triple threat - it's tropical vegan fare you won't find elsewhere in Minnesota, it has food that both herbivores and omnivores alike will love, and it's delicious! Downtown Stillwater is now veg-friendly!

Yum! - Edit
We had 2 full vegans, 2 people who aren’t vegan but ate from the vegan menu, and an omnivore that ate dinner here. Everyone was super pleased with their meal. “I’ll definitely be back” was said by all. We had the meatballs, poke bowl, and burgers. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. We’re really excited to see vegan options out in the suburbs!
Read morePros: Good value , Friendly staff, Great Good
Cons: Pricey drinks, No vegan kids meal

delicious Hawaiian Vegan Options - Edit
At first I wasn't aware that they had a Vegan menu so make sure to ask about it. I ordered the Burger and it was AMAZING!! Soooo delicious with the Beyong Patty and tasty vegan cheddar cheese. I got the sweet potatoe fries which paired so well with the ginger sauce. I could not stop eating and left full and happy. I hope to come back and try out the other options in the near future.
Read morePros: good amount of vegan options, full flavors

A tropical (vegan) paradise! - Edit
I absolutely love the uniqueness of their vegan menu! I’ve tried all four items and everything is very tasty. Loved the vegan Lau’ai slaw and the incorporation of pineapple and other tropical flavors throughout. The mango jerk sauce that comes with the Beyond Burger meatballs and optional with the poke bowl is delicious! What’s also awesome - their use of a separate fryer.
Read morePros: vegan menu (reg. menu has vegan upon request too), unique flavors, use of a separate fryer
