Meet Tiki

Tiki’s Back In The Day started with a love for family, food, and creating moments that bring people together. The name “Tiki” was given to me by my grandmother, and that nickname became the foundation of a business built on the traditions, recipes, and values passed down through generations.

As a mother, entrepreneur, and food lover, I’ve always believed that good food does more than fill a plate—it creates memories, starts conversations, and makes people feel at home.

Today, Tiki’s Back In The Day offers catering, HeatWave Plates, handmade seasonings, and sauces, all made with the same goal: bringing comfort, flavor, and a little bit of nostalgia to every table.

HeatWave Plates® For Busy Days

Pick a plate that feels like home - crispy fried chicken like Grandma's Sunday spread, creamy mac and cheese, or smothered favorites that taste like the church basement after service. Heat it up in minutes and let the kitchen fill with that slow-cooked, all-day aroma. No pots, no dishes - just sit down, pass the fork, and dig into a meal that feels made with you in mind.
