Illinois doesn’t have much going for it in the tropical sense. We may have beaches, but palm trees, mountains, and island flowers are hard to come by. Luckily, there is a Hawaiian restaurant in Illinois serving authentic dishes in an authentic, tropical atmosphere everyone will love.
Summer is meant to be spent on the beach with a drink in your hand, and this restaurant might just be the next best thing. Check it out before summer is over.
The Tiki Terrace in Des Plaines doesn't look like much from the outside, but within its walls awaits a tropical experience you can't find anywhere else in the state.
Perfect for a night out with friends, an anniversary date, or just because, this wonderful gem will provide an unforgettable experience for all. Shows are Friday, Saturday, and Wednesday nights, and you must make a reservation.
The restaurant is mostly a dinner theatre featuring Luau-style meals and an authentic show of music and dancing. Patrons come for the food but may get distracted from eating once the drums begin.
The restaurant serves authentic Hawaiian dishes like seafood and pork to bring the flavors and culture of the island to the shore. Illinoisans have no reason to actually go to Hawaii when the best part is right here.
Some dishes dip into Asian fare for a fusion of flavors you won't find anywhere else. Popular dishes include coconut chicken, kalua pork, and Mahi-Mahi.
The restaurant also offers catering services, so you can throw a luau in your own backyard. Impress your guests with authentic Hawaiian flavors and entertainment.
Previously featured on Chicago television networks, this famous hot spot is a little-known wonder that will make you feel a million miles away. Plan a short vacation to this amazing, tropical restaurant before summer's end.
The Tiki Terrance is located at 1591 Lee Street in Des Plaines, and you can get more information and make reservations on its website or Facebook page.
