Really solid spot right on the water at Ridley Marina. It's the perfect place to go when you want a relaxed vibe and a great view of the boats. We went in winter but I'm sure it's packed in summer. The Crab Cake Sandwich is a must. It's actually full of lump crab meat instead of just being a bunch of breading and filler. We also got the Loaded Cheese Fries and they were total comfort food. The portions are huge, Great service and we even forgot our cell phone and they kept it for us to pick up. Wonderful group of people. read more

So we went here for lunch with friends. We asked for a table for 5. If you want to sit inside but waterside (where the locals call the swamp) you are jammed at a table that barely fits 4. If you want a four top and two top tables together to seat 5, you have to sit in the land-side dining room. Service after seating was pleasant and helpful. Menu items vary from bar food to upscale dining choices, old school to trendy. The standout here was the old school clams casino. The flavors were nicely balanced and enjoyable. We would order these again and it's probably the only thing that would bring us back. We tried the fried fish sandwich, roast beef dip sandwich and roast pork sandwiches. All of them were generously large and 1/2 sandwich was enough to satisfy. While the roll was delicious and the fillings plentiful, they just did not have enough flavor. read more

Great location on the water. Quick and friendly service. Came by on a Sunday for lunch at 1pm. We were seated immediately. I enjoyed the Cobb salad. Also at the table we had a crab cake sandwich and burger. Food was good. Seems like a reliable spot for a good meal. read more

This is our approximate 12th visit to Stingers which is our favorite place in all of the Philadelphia region. Tonight was no exception to their excellence. Josh was our wait staff for the evening. My daughter and her boyfriend were here visiting from Australia and we really wanted to show them a place that we know everybody raves about from the atmosphere to the food menu to the service. We had a fantastic experience, we tasted the mussels, the cheesesteak, egg rolls, the French dip and the shrimp mac & cheese. Josh is a bloody legend, and just for the wonderful service that was given to us from this visit alone, we are good for another 10 visits in the next few months. Awesome guy, awesome dining experience. Five stars all around. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch on my way to the airport. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a beer, appercot brandy smash, wings and the blackened swardfish. The wings were very meaty and could have been a meal on their own. The blacken and swordfish was a nice portion, blackened just right and served with orzo pasta. The server was pleasant and engaging in sharing her thoughts on the various menu items. If you're like me, looking for a restaurant close to the airport prior to your flight this is a pretty good option for proximity, price, food options. read more

The food, the service, the ambience excellent!! They have indoor and outdoor seating. If you like sitting outside when the weather is beautiful enjoying a great meal, this is the place. The staff is very professional and friendly. We will definitely go back!! read more

The location is great, and the service is fine. The food, however, is TERRIBLE! They simply don't know how to cook! For the price you're paying, you should expect top-drawer food. Instead you feel like you're eating re-heated leftovers. The wines are terrible also -- they evidently have no one tasting them in the selection process. read more

nice place decent food, drinks are pricy. FYI no happy hour or special promotions. Plenty of televisions

Hidden gem in Ridley right off I-95! Sitting on a marina it's such a unique spot to come to. Especially when the weather's nice, definitely sit outside if you can! The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Love stopping in here even as a local! read more

Joe is awesome. I kinda told him about my eating issues and he said I could handle the cheesesteak egg rolls. He wasn't wrong The flavor is amazing but I am eating with a knife and fork. If eaten like a real person they would be even better. I have eating issues but Stinger's is great and Joe at the bar is wonderful. Highly recommend!! read more

They make a great roast pork and chicken cutlet sandwich. We formerly went to the location in Secane since it opened, up until they closed last year. We were happy to see the menu at their only remaining location had both sandwiches on the menu still, and they are operated similarly. Bar atmosphere with nautical decor. It's a nice spot for a weekday dinner. read more

Decor and layout is nice. Everything is clean and updated. Service was prompt. The bar is ginormous. 14 beers on draft...nothing exotic. Menu is limited but of quality. Prices aren't horrible but not cheap by any means. They do have TVs but not overly done like a sports bar. Views are very nice. Bar opens up to outside so when it's nice out everything is open. read more

Had a business dinner here with some execs, which means I had to put on my "yes sir, no ma'am" voice, but let me tell you, the service? A solid 10 outta 10. Quick, friendly, and still had that southern charm that makes you tip a little extra. Now, be warned: they still follow that old-school "we ain't seating you 'til your whole party arrives" rule. A little 2005, but also... y'all should really just be on time. So I get it. I wasn't feeling too hot--sinuses acting like I owed them money--so my appetite was half there, half in the bed. I ordered a taco salad... and whew, let's just say it was a disappointment wrapped in lettuce. Literally. It felt like they gave me one sad romaine leaf and told me to imagine the rest. 2 outta 10. That ain't it. Now the beef birria quesadilla came through looking like it had potential. Shredded beef, cheese blend, birria sauce, all the things that usually make you wanna shout. But taste-wise? It was decent, just needed a bit more seasoning to make it dance. I gave it a 5 outta 10 -- but again, the sun was directly in my face and my attitude was on "nap." Let's talk about the real star though: Stinger's Fries. Old Bay-spiced, covered in homemade cheese sauce, fresh crabmeat, and green onions. A whole blessing in a bowl. The spicy sriracha ketchup was cute, but unnecessary -- the fries held their own. 9 outta 10 easy. I also had the crab dip and the bang bang shrimp, and listen, I forgot to take pics because I was too busy being happy. Both are must-tries -- bold flavors, creamy, crispy, all the textures. The real kicker here though? That view. You're right on the water. Boats bobbing, breeze breezing, and the whole vibe is "I could quit my job and eat here every weekend." Would I come back? Absolutely. Next time I'll bring an appetite, sunglasses, and a better salad choice. read more

Average food, we've had good and not so good service. Not really a friendly atmosphere. But for 6 million dollars, you would think it would be excellent. read more

I went here for the first time this week and loved it. Service was great we had a waiter who was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was really good I had the shrimp Mac and cheese. The shrimp did not have tails which I really appreciated made it so much easier to eat! The ambiance is so nice very clean and nice decor. I loved the blue lights projected on the walls they were so cool. read more

Good food on the water Came here with the girlfriend. Was told this was the spot to get seafood and ambiance, so we came here for a lunch. Parking is plentiful, but you will be competing with the launch pad for boats for parking spots. There's a ton of signage stating that dining is only 90 minutes. My guess is they have issues with people staying for long stints of time. Our sever was very nice, checked in a lot and made sure that our stay was nice and our drinks topped off. Food came out a little slow but not too slow. Took pics and dug in. The mussels were good, but the sauce was not burned off enough. There was a big hit of boozy tang that detracted from the otherwise light and acidic sauce. Still tasty, but not balanced. The fries were cooked well enough, the cheese sauce was made fresh and seasoned well. The fresh crab was very fishy smelling, but was told it was the style of crab they used which led to the smell. Not bad just not expected. The crab dip was good. Really liked the made in house tortilla chips. Was hearty, plenty of crab and the cheese layer was crispy and salty which helped since the mellow crab flavor didn't really come through. It's clear they put lots of care into their appearances and the service is great. As a location to hang out, this seems like a very nice place to go. It is lacking a bit in terms of its food, but I'd imagine this is the type of place that's not known for their food. Go for the location and drinks, and you'll probably have a great time. Maybe their entree's are good, but not so much their starters. read more

Our group was told that they have the best crabcakes around. We took off with a group and as we entered there's a big sign that says that we have one and a half hours to have a table. Not very welcoming for our large group, probably spending a good amount of pocket change. Just for fun I decided to start timing the service and I must say we were seated immediately. We had a wonderful view of the river with locals coming and going on their boats. It did take about seven minutes for us to receive water and maybe about 15 minutes for us to put our order in. We've now used up 20ish minutes. I was concerned that we had a good size group and expecting our food would come out quickly because we now have one hour and five minutes left. I asked the server when does the time start and they just giggled. I did not pursue an answer. We put our order in in the next 10 minutes and then waited for appetizers, drinks, dinner and dessert. It did take the kitchen about 35 minutes to serve appetizers and dinner. And it took about 10 minutes to get our alcoholic beverages. Oh dear, we only have about 20 minutes to eat, order dessert and have coffee. I actually stopped counting the minutes because we were having such a good time and decided to just go with the flow. No one really said anything to us and we were there about two hours and 45 minutes in a very crowded timeframe. Only one suggestion... Remove the sign - it is not an instant feel good or welcoming to a restaurant that has a time limit on dining. Our bill was close to $600+ The crab cakes, filet, stuffed salmon, crab dip, shrimp tacos were all pretty darn good and I will be back for them. Oh, and I must say, I did steal a taste of the mashed potatoes and they were excellent as well. read more

Stopped in on a Winter Sunday afternoon with two others. Nice and clean outside, plenty of parking for the off-season. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waiter stopped over minutes later, and we ordered right away. Place wasn't very busy, just a small crowd, a few tvs. Bar looked like it would be fun for a few beers, we had a couple of burgers and some mozzarella sticks-everything came out quickly and was quite good. Prices were good, as well. I would return, and am curious to see how it is in the summer. read more

I been going here for a few years now. I put my family on to it and now this our go-to restaurant for all of our birthdays. They use to switch the menu up every season or so but they do still have specials that always sound appetizing. Some dishes need a little more seasoning/flavor but im still satisfied. I also had a Peach Pina Colada mocktail & it was probably better than my go-to Miami Vice. The servers are always nice...I last had Hayden and he was nice and sweet. read more

Nicely welcomed and seated promptly. Lovely view of the river, marina and boats passing by; comfortable seats & table. Attentive and friendly server. Lively bar. Now if only the food was as good as the atmosphere. Menu was not as expected. Beef quesadilla was different but just okay. My burger was too small for the brioche bun; dry and would not be surprised if it was a frozen patty. The bacon add-on was one strip halved and tasted old. Fries were undercooked. Husband had a fried cod sandwich; seasoned well, not greasy and a generous portion on a brioche bun instead of toasted sourdough. Cole slaw on it was okay; didn't understand why it had Russian dressing on it yet also served with tartar sauce. Fries were okay. Did not try dessert. Would not go back unless it was drinks only and dessert at a table by the railing to enjoy the view. read more

The good is the place is nice, ok food. Service was ok. Waitress was rushing us to order, eat and leave. The bad. We went to watch the birds and they tried to sit us at a table with no tv view, we asked to sit at another table but we were seated at a different table. Very strange since it was not crowded. That leads me to the giant sign at the front door. "90 minute time limit" for a spot that doesn't have a crowd on a Saturday night. read more

Met a friend here for a quick lunch. This place has been on my list for a while and I'm glad I finally checked it out. The service was friendly and the food was tasty. We opted for the cheesesteak eggrolls as an appetizer, I ordered the chicken guiseppe sandwich for lunch which had blackened chicken breast, roasted peppers, broccoli rabe etc. It had more kick then I expected or preferred Worth checking out overall though read more

Ambiance and food was fine however, a young guy who brought food to our table accidentally spilled hot food (crab-stuffed salmon) onto my 3-year-old child who is severely allergic to shellfish. He was very apologetic however, after getting home we realized my son had an allergic reaction. I went back the following day to meet a manager named Nick who told me he'd take my name/ number and call me Tuesday since my waitress wasn't in today. He initially offered to pay for allergy medicine however, mentioned he could not compensate for the bill. After speaking to my husband, Nick then offered a gift card (which he had not offered to me) and nonchalantly slid the gift card onto the counter without greeting me or making eye contact and walked off. I did not appreciate this gesture and I'm very offended. read more
