  Fantastic! Tisa and her staff were so friendly. The food was fantastic! Ribs, turkey, squash, papaya, octopus and fish chowder, all cooked on a traditional Samoan oven. The pina coladas were also delicious. Bored cannot be beat. I wish I could give her more stars

  If you don't have reservations, you can tell they don't want you there. Bring cash or PayPal and don't show up when the bar is closed because the beach is also closed. Awesome location none the less. $12 for a drink that needed more alcohol. Would still recommend

  Doesn’t get much better than this! This might be the best place on the island, but there is some local knowledge involved with actually being able to EAT there. They only serve food one night a week. They serve a traditional Samoan feast cooked with a local method of using and building an Umu from scratch. Typically this is held each Wednesday, and I would either try and call or make the beautiful drive out there and get a reservation for the sitting. Run by Tisa and her husband Candyman (who does all the cooking, building and unloading the Umu). They’ll welcome you in, sit you on their porch right on the water. The bar is your traditional license plate, sticker and flag tiki bar and their friendly dogs are milking around and chilling out on the porch with you. Next, they tell you it’s time to start preparing your food and they bring you to the “oven” and give you a history and local custom of the method of cooking. Food is amazing…Traditional Samoan oven “umu” cooking, cream of coconut with taro leaves, tuna sauce, taro slices, pumpkin, papaya, turkey, pork ribs, non alcoholic punch is served as you enter (though they are also famous for their made from scratch pina coladas). Tisa and Candy man then take turns visiting and chatting with you and the other patrons; truly a warm, unique and beautiful experience…I was glad I found out about this place and drove out there to make a reservation. Price was $65 per person and I got my initial serving and then was able to go back and get seconds or thirds of items were available! A must see and do and eat experience! Thank you Tisa and Candyman!

  My husband Paul and I recently had an unforgettable experience at Tisa's Barefoot Bar! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with fantastic service from the warm and welcoming Tisa and her delightful husband, Candyman. The hosts, Tisa and Candyman, are not only super friendly but also share a wealth of fascinating cultural history about the area. Tisa took the time to visit with us, snap some memorable photos, and recount the incredible story of how this piece of land has been lovingly cared for by family for generations. The atmosphere is quaint and tranquil, making it a perfect escape. I can't recommend the piña colada highly enough; it's made with fresh squeezed coconut cream and a must-try! The breathtaking views only add to the experience, creating a picturesque backdrop for an exclusive and enjoyable visit.

  You should definitely try and visit American Samoa so that you can take in the traditional Umu dinner feast at Tisa’s on Wednesday night. Book via Facebook Messenger and the call to confirm on the day. They can cater to vegetarians with advance notice. It’s $65. All ingredients fresh, organic and as tasty as this traditional fare can be. Dinner starts at 7 PM but Candyman (Michael) kindly invited me to come as early as 4 PM when they started putting food in the umu (which has already been heating up for a few hours—-yes it’s a lot of work). I got there at 5:15 PM and there was just the nephew checking the umu. So no one to talk to or get a drink from until about 6:20 PM, when Candyman started serving up his insanely great pina coladas with real coconut cream. (The virgin version is great too—you’ll never get better). I was glad I hadn’t come earlier though. We were 15 guests and had a communal meal at a long table with banana leave plates. Guests were interesting and the evening passed quickly. Tisa’s brother sings and plays guitar. If you come without a car, one of the other guests can probably give you a lift. Otherwise, Candyman can help you get a taxi. It’s about an hour’s drive from the Tradewinds Hotel due to American Samoa’s 20-25 mph speed limit. I would have wanted to speak more with Candyman as he seems a person of substance with a wealth of knowledge, but this wasn’t possible as the evening is tightly choreographed. While I’m glad I went and this is a unique experience, from the hype surrounding this place I expected more of a “wow” factor.
