Tiki's Back In The Day is a Minnesota food and catering brand created by Tenisha "Tiki" Williams, serving soulful meals, HeatWave Plates, and handmade seasonings that taste like home. Our story began in a bustling family kitchen, where resilience, shared plates, and loud, joyful laughter shaped the recipes we serve today. Every dish still carries those memories, inviting you to pull up a chair, pass a plate, and become part of our story.

Every pan of mac, every fried chicken dinner, and every HeatWave Plate carries pieces of our culture, the stories we heard around the table, and the way our elders cooked. We blend soul food traditions with easy, modern comfort so busy folks can skip the stress and still enjoy food that feels like home, whether it's a weeknight dinner, office lunch, or special event.

Tenisha "Tiki" Williams is the heart behind Tiki's Back In The Day, a proudly Black‑ and female‑owned comfort food brand in the Twin Cities. Backed by a Minnesota Food License and ServSafe certification, she brings soulful, scratch‑style dishes, warm hospitality, and stress‑free service to busy families, professionals, and hosts at every gathering.

Tiki built this business so busy families, professionals, and hosts can enjoy soulful, homemade‑style food without the stress of planning, cooking, or clean‑up. Every HeatWave Plate, catering pan, and seasoning blend is her way of saying food should feel like love, comfort, and a little time back in your day.
