Tiki's Back In The Day is a Black- and woman-owned comfort food brand bringing cozy, no-fuss soul food to busy folks all over Minnesota. From HeatWave Plates to full-service catering and small-batch seasonings, every bite comes from real family recipes, for those nights you crave a warm, homemade meal without doing all the work.
We start with real family recipes, then we build every plate and product by hand, with bold seasoning and careful prep. Our Minnesota Food License and ServSafe training guide every step, so you get food that feels homemade and stays safe. You choose meals or seasonings, we handle everything behind the scenes.
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.
Bring that back-in-the-day flavor to your next event with soulful, crowd-pleasing catering made for sharing. From family celebrations to special gatherings, we serve comforting homemade dishes packed with flavor, tradition, and heart — creating warm, memorable experiences your guests will talk about long after the plates are cleared.
