    Me and my husband had just checked into our hotel and decided to get food. We have been here before and have friends who go their every time they are in town so we thought lets go where we know. Well the girls behind the bar were rude. I asked her if she had lemonade and she doesn’t respond just puts a cup of lemonade in front of me then walks away. It was hard to get a drink. If you aren’t a local they don’t want to be bothered. This is a tourist area why would you treat people that way? I will never go back again and will tell my friends.

    After staying at a nearby hotel for several days, we decided to give this establishment a try. It looks like a dive bar, but they advertise delicious food. A woman named Cindy served us on a Saturday morning in July - yesterday, in fact - and unfortunately it took an hour and fifty minutes to receive our undercooked pancakes and overcooked corned beef hash. I thought after such a long wait at least the food would be good! I called the restaurant and spoke to the same server who helped us, and she told me if I was looking for a refund due to the overall bad experience, to please call back the next day and speak to the owner. I did just that, and I reached Cindy again, who was more annoyed this time, and told me the owner would likely not call me back, and would let likely not refund me. I explained to her that I was looking to communicate with the owner off the record, as I do not like to leave negative reviews. This did not phase her one bit, she got more snippy. These are definitely not the customer service skills I'm sure she was hired for. [Edit: LOL, yes, they were.] I was avoiding leaving this review, but you need to know that if you want to come here for breakfast, set out over 2 hours of your time and prepared to pay double price for what the food is worth. Not something anybody wants to do when they are 150 yards from the beach. Edit: I called today and spoke to the owner. In a very grumpy voice he interrupted me rudely and told me I was basically an idiot for waiting so long, he told me that he would have gotten up an hour into the wait, and that I should not have eaten or paid for my food instead of quietly waiting, paying for it and then asking for a refund later. The problem is the food was Terrible on top of the wait, which we only found out after we finally got it. Also I have certain rules that I operate by in society, and sticking through ordering food from a server and then paying for the meal are two of those rules I try to follow. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. He doesn't count on repeat customers. In hindsight, I should have gotten up and just found another restaurant to eat at or cooked my own food. I did expect the food to at least be decent after that long wait. Some of it was overcooked and cold, and some of it was just undercooked. The dining room is not big enough for the kitchen to be that slammed. It is clearly lack of cooking ability and lack of intelligence in that kitchen, begining with the lack of leadership. This restaurant owner is taking advantage of its customers by being surrounded by vacation resorts - a fleeting customer base. No locals attend unless they are drunks at the bar.

    Don’t order fish. We got overcooked salmon and mahi. The roasted veggies were a pile of barely cooked carrots. They served penne pasta and it was hot but average. The waitress never brought water which was requested when we first got there. She sent another waitress to bring water after we were finished eating. The waitress we had seemed like an unhappy and not friendly person. Never going back.

    Stopped in while having a couple beach days. Wow, great service and great bartender! We stopped early in the morning probably 1030 and I was suprised they were open and serving. We had a great waitress. We made a circle and came back after a day at the beach and got great service that time too!! Plenty of parking, plenty of seating inside and out. Good People!

    Their brochure advertisement says half price Tuesday…..no mention of cheese only until you sit down and get the surprise! Very deceiving just be honest horrible customer service the waitress was on speed or something buzzing around but no time for the customer? Took over an hour before I just said can we just pay for the drinks and leave ? I pointed out to everyone waiting for their order but nobody had food? I walked back through the restaurant interior not one customer? I’m really not sure how they stay in business? Lying deceiving slow save your money and time for an honest establishment!

    Cindy was our server. She was great but could have used some help. There were not enough severs for amount of diners. The food was great! I definitely recommend the burger and my husband said the pizza was fantastic! I was sharing the burger and they cut it in half for us. My aunt had the salmon and she said it was really good. Great local place if in the area.

    Really wanted to like this place as it's a three minute walk from my place. First time got a sandwich at lunch, not bad. Second and third time was just like no one cares. Pizza order was wrong, and kitchen food was never put in. We get there and now need to wait 15 minutes, with hungry kids this is an issue. Tried again, asked for toppings on half as my kids just want cheese. Nope, toppings on both sides. Other customer comes in and asks for parmesan, guy behind the counter bangs my pizza down and just points to him, "there!" Want to support a local place in the neighborhood, but just can't. Pizza is decent too, just not reliable or friendly. Waitstaff seemed nice though.

    Visited from Dallas on last night the service and food was great. Came back for breakfast. The food was terrible. Waitress stated the breakfast on the menu was just a picture. She was rude and my steak and eggs were bland and not seasoned. Poor food and worst service. The waitress ruined the rating. This is not the job for her to bring in customers. Her name was Kayla.

    We ordered a pizza for take out FOR 5 00PM.(there website allowed us to pick a time) Made our order at 11 30 am received a call at 2 00 pm that our pizza was ready. I called there response was oh we don't look at the time sorry, we can make you another later.... We told them we would come get it.... It was cold, so I AM SURE THEY MADE IT RIGHT WHEN WE PLACED THE ORDER! And they would of just let it sit there until 5 00 Wouldn't recommend this place, dirty, 2 older grumpy old men running it, never made an offer to off set the purchase! I would order from Dominos or little Caesars before them. Oh yeah pizza was bad!Stay Far away from this place! If you won't look at your website notes on receipt, TAKE OFF THE TIME TABLE ON YOUR ORDER PAGE! or Learn your Web page!

    3/7/22- Inside and outside seating. We sat at the bar was created by one of the waitresses as we went to a bartender Ann Marie was very nice . We shared their Philly cheese Eggroll . Very greasy and spilt open. Plus chicken wings dry as asked , no celery . 8/30/2020- small place here forever. Service was very good. Always be checked o . We started with the yummy Philly cheesesteak eggrolls. Plenty of meat and lots of cheese . Nice crisp to the roll itself. Then I had it’s chicken quesadilla who is very good plenty of chicken and a side of came in all kinds of peppers sliced up real nice and some shredded iceberg lettuce which is right up my alley . Geo. had the small pizza pepperoni and black olives , he said he’s was really good , the crust look real nice ., Again service was really very good social distancing for a small place they did very well.

    A great restaurant, reasonable prices considering the quality of their foods. Outstanding beet and goat cheese salad with Ahi Tuna. Outstanding Shrimp Scampi and yes their Key Line pie dessert was perfect. Best food I have had in a while.

  • 2/5 Bernie R. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited this place around 1 year ago, and what a difference a year can make. Disappointed with having to wait for a waitress to come and see if anything at the outdoor seating we were seated at. Eventually after getting service it took quite a while to get the food and also quite a while to be checked upon after that. Eventually our waitress left and somebody else took over, then asked about where our waitress was, we were informed they take care of their own. If working as a team means insulting customers, chastising customers, and lying to them... Then this is not a business anybody needs to patronize. Not very reassuring thought on this place and the way I conduct business, would not recommend it to anyone.

    I went there yesterday for the first time. On a positive note, the pizza was excellent. However, it took an hour to get it after placing the order, and they were not busy. Then, the server never came back to see if I wanted another beverage. Lastly, I asked for a to-go box when paying my tab and she forgot about it. If the pizza wasn’t so good, I would give 1 star.

    The meatball appetizer was AMAZING we scraped it clean! Then the pizza is the kind you see the cheese string when you grab a slice! Nice people. Great food. Happy we stopped in!

    The service was abominable. They are short of help and it shows. Went for breakfast and it took over an hour to get a simple breakfast of eggs, biscuits and one meat. Took 15 minutes to bring cream and sugar for coffee. Order was completely messed up after an hour's wait. Will never go there again.

  • 5/5 Jason L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to get a good, fulfilling breakfast at a very reasonable price. Beyond the tasty food options they can help take the edge off recovering from the fun you had last night. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Elaney T. 5 months ago on Google
    We sat outside and had breakfast and it was great. Good food perfect portions to get you full but not miserable and the music was great along with service! Will be back! Also plays the LIONS game!

    My friend and I got the BEE's Burger last week when vacationing there. It was LITERALLY the BEST burger I had ever eaten. Even including ones I make at home. Its huge but we were super hungry from running around and not having a big breakfast. I ate the whole burger but not all the fries. Definately worth checking out.

  • 3/5 Mr. K. 4 months ago on Google
    The braindead waitstaff rock music aimed toward a 20 something crowd. Their clientele are mostly senior when I was there. Duh, Old school rock would work but techno / doper music really misses the target. I’m confident no one cares.

  • 5/5 James C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was amazing and the service was good! Nice size portions and the dessert was lovely! We got the Mahi Reuben and the Fish Tacos.

    e for lunch Had a burger was great. The servers are the best. They don't top of things and kept making sure my water glass was filled. Great experience

  • 4/5 Paula Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Good drinks and friendly atmosphere. We had good big burgers. They have great daily specials. Not touristy...a secret great casual place for the locals. Ez parking and big bar. The pizza looks great- NY style, and inexpensive.

    THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE! Rude staff, horrible food, and horrible vibe. Do not recommend for any reason. I never leave reviews but this place made me feel like I should.

  • 5/5 Kathy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little bar/restaurant located near where we stayed. Our waitress/bartender went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We arrived about a half hour before kitchen closes (which I try never to do) and she never made us feel rushed. Have already recommended to others and will definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Alana C. 2 years ago on Google
    POMPANO'S BEST KEPT SECRET!!! I frequented this place while I was spending Thanksgiving week at the Club Wyndham Santa Barbara due to the low drink prices, hearty portions, and amazing staff that easily make Stinger's a staple hangout for locals and tourists alike. Not only is Andrea a superb server who makes you feel at home with lively conversation, a positive attitude, and attention to detail, she went above and beyond for Thanksgiving and shared a few slices of her and her boyfriend's pecan pie from home. Definitely recommend for a no-frills night out with drinks and friends, new and old.

  • 1/5 Mickaili B. 9 months ago on Google
    We are on vacation and the first time we came in we sat down and we were checked in with maybe 3 times by our server and she forgot to bring half of our food. The next time we ordered simple takeout and the customer service was very poor even management was extremely rude during the situation. Up charged for things I did not get. $50 for three orders of chicken tenders and one side of fries. The place smells like mold and is genuinely such a disgusting environment.

  • 5/5 Tracey W. 1 year ago on Google
    They have amazing food!! The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are my favorite!! The small house salad is huge! Love their pizzas, our favorites are the Hawaiian with added jalapeños and the Philly Steak and cheese!!

  • 3/5 Kiya S. 1 year ago on Google
    They may have been having an off day but service wasn't spectacular though it was very friendly. The pizzas we ordered were fine, not particularly to our liking but, we also heard it was a very different experience the night before. End all be all, give it a shot nice little place reasonable pricing and decent food

  • 1/5 Janice W. 1 year ago on Google
    Long wait to be served. Poor customer service, rude waitresses and not all items on menu are available. Even at the end the waitress complained to us because our tip was to low! Too low….. We tip for good service, good food! We should have not even left a tip! A top was not deserving! In addition, if paying by credit card, they charge you an additional credit card fee but they do not tell you this. It is however on your bill at the bottom if you read the fine print. If they had friendly waitresses who wanted to work, it could be an ok place to grab a bite, but service is very very slow.

  • 5/5 Shelby K. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome food and service. You must try the meatball and garlic bread appetizer. The pizza was delicious. I'm very happy we decided to stop here for a beer and a bite to eat.

  • 5/5 Jody S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice girls and dive bar vibes. I love their slogan Bee Happy. The pizza is delicious. Homemade soups daily&live bands. Outdoor seating. Great place.
