Found this great web site about roadside attractions mainly in the South which lists a tiki bar in Sarasota, FL, on the Tamiami Trail (75 years old this year). This one at least has one tiki, most likely by Wayne Coombs. The design of the web site won't allow me to provide a direct link so go to the "Fancy Eating" link, then down to "The Bahi Hut" under Kitch Kitchens. See pic of the front door with big wooden spoon for a handle! Last time I was in Florida I wanted to drive the Tamiami Trail but didn't have the time. Next time I'm doin' it!

Also check out the Santa Madeira restaurant that is in a building that looks like a big ship. Sadly it closed earlier this year.
