Surf City Tiki Hut Brings Island Vibes to Power Road

by KEVIN MCKIERNAN

There’s a brand-new tropical escape in the East Valley — and it’s in a spot you might already know.

The owners of Surf City Sandwiches have officially transformed their longtime location on Power Road (just south of Ray) into Surf City Tiki Hut, and the makeover is nothing short of impressive.

This isn’t just a rebrand — it’s a full concept change.

A Total Transformation

Step inside and you’ll feel like you’ve landed on an island. The interior has been completely reimagined into a true tiki hut experience, featuring tropical decor, bamboo accents, custom details, and a full bar serving creative cocktails. There’s comfortable dining indoors, plus a spacious patio outside that’s perfect for Arizona evenings.

It’s clear the owners didn’t spare on the details — every corner was thoughtfully designed to deliver laid-back island vibes.

Polynesian Menu (With a Familiar Twist)

The new Surf City Tiki Hut leans into a Polynesian-inspired menu, offering flavorful dishes that pair perfectly with their tropical drinks. And for longtime fans — don’t worry — they’ve kept select sandwiches from the original Surf City Sandwiches menu, blending the old favorites with their new island-style offerings.

It’s the best of both worlds: classic Surf City roots mixed with bold new flavors.

Drinks, Food, and Island Atmosphere

  • 🍹 A full bar with great cocktails
