Big Kahuna Tiki Huts & Tiki Bars built a tiki hut at Tradition Field. Tradition Field is the home of the New York Mets Spring Training. It is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida and the stadium capacity is over 7,000.
The tiki hut is 30 by 11 feet and over 2,500 fresh cut Florida palm fronds were used to create the custom built structure. The tiki hut adds a tropical panache to the Florida stadium.

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts built a custom tiki hut and tiki bar for a restaurant in St. James City called Low Key Tiki.  The Breeze Newspaper had the following article about the restaurant:

Those looking for a place to relax and unwind at the end of busy day need look no further than St. James City. On Nov. 11, the Low Key Tiki opened its doors to customers and the staff has vowed to provide what the name of the restaurant denotes, a “low key” atmosphere.

“Our goal is to provide an inviting place for people to come and relax, have a drink, something to eat and socialize with their friends and neighbors,” said owner Scott Adams. “So far people have welcomed the concept and we are pleased with the response and support we have gotten from our community.”

Currently, seating is provided in the outdoor tiki which features a 41-foot bar with additional seating along the perimeter of the covered area. Constructed completely from cedar and bamboo, those visiting the tiki instantly get the feel of a tropical island atmosphere complete with ceiling fans and gentle tropical music playing the in background.

At this point the lunch and dinner menu is very simple, but according to Adams, more items will be added as time goes on. The signature dish found on the current menu are what the Adams call S.O.S. or, stuff on a stick, which are kabobs of beef or chicken along with pineapple, onion and tomato. Other menu items include a quarter-pound “hand-spanked” hamburger, grilled, fried or blackened fish and hot dogs all at very reasonable prices. Also available are a number of appetizers, salads and homemade pineapple upside down cake. Soon to be available from the menu will be Pine Island clams as well.

Scott and Barb first came to the island in 2002 to purchase and run the Starboard Lounge, also in St. James City. After building a successful business, the couple decided to sell the lounge and take some time off to enjoy island life.

“We took a 1 1/2-year vacation but really missed the restaurant business, so we finally decided that since the Hog Fish had been closed for over a year, that perhaps it would be a good idea to breath new life into the place,” said Barb. “We are very pleased with the way it turned out and are very grateful for all of the help and support we received from the island community to make this possible.”

Taking three months to paint the restaurant inside and out, in addition to the addition of the tiki bar, the Adams also replaced the entire kitchen.

“The interior is not quite ready for diners yet, but we should have inside seating before too much longer,” said Adams. “Not only is our outdoor seating comfortable but we couldn’t ask for a better location. We sit between to boat launches on the shoreline of the Monroe Canal.”

In keeping with the “low key” atmosphere, the music will never be intrusive so that patrons can talk easily among themselves.

“We probably won’t be hiring any musicians, but this has become a place where musicians come to relax,” Adams said. “We want to make this a meeting place for people to come and enjoy conversations without having to talk over loud music. It’s all about keeping it laid-back and maintaining the island attitude.”

The Low Key Tiki is located on Stringfellow Road in the heart of St. James City and is open seven-days-a-week, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call 282-TIKI (8454).

When the tropical breezes blowing off the Indian River just across from the Ft Pierce Inlet, make you feel like life doesn’t get any better than this, the last thing you want to happen is the roof falling down into your Margarita! That’s why the Original Tiki Bar & Restaurant called Big Kahuna to repair their roof. With a section of the bar closed off, and the oh so familiar blue tarp stretched across the ceiling, employees of Big Kahuna Tiki Huts went to work. Using fresh cut Florida palm fronds, they had guests enjoying rum runners and fish sandwiches in no time.www.originaltikibar.com

With clients such as Ritz Carlton Hotels, The City of Naples, FL, and Hyatt Resort’s it’s no wonder management at The Original Tiki Bar & Restaurant called. Besides being featured on TV’s Extreme Home Makeovers, they do new construction along with repairs and restorations for both commercial and residential clients.

Check out their website at: http://www.palmhuts.com/. That night, while the band played and the sun sunk low over the marina, everybody forgot all the hole in the roof just hours earlier, and enjoyed the beauty of another Treasure Coast evening, all thanks to Big Kahuna Tiki Huts.

Naples Botanical Gardens in Naples FL hired Big Kahuna Tiki Huts to help complete a new project.  The designers of the project were reported in the Miami Herald as the “Dream Team” of nationally and internationally recognized leaders in Green Building Design.

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts was excited to help in “Building Green Design”!  Tiki huts were built throughout the gardens.  We even built smaller tiki huts in height that will be used only by the children in the “Children’s Gardens”.

We also converted regular signs into signs with a tiki hut roof structure over them, giving the signs an awesome look!

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts feels honored to have been apart of the “Going Green with Eco-Friendly Construction”!

We just completed a tiki hut and tiki bar for a client in St. James City FL.  The tiki hut is a 42 foot  x 25 foot using solid cypress poles.  The tiki bar was a 38 linear foot with bamboo on the front, cypress countertop with half-round, cypress footrest, built-in drink rail, along with built-in hand-carved tiki gods.  We also installed an 81 foot drink rail made out of cypress wood.  The tiki bar was sprayed with polyurethane to give it the beautiful glow.

The restaurant customers were so excited about it being completed, they were standing around waiting for the tiki bar to open!

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts did work for LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resorts in Naples Florida.  They were awarded the USA WINNER OF CONDE NAST JOHANSENS 2008 AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE.

Check out the inside of the tiki hut in which a flared cypress stump is the center post coming down from the ceiling.  This feature gives a unique look and also a ceiling fan can be installed onto this center post.
