The steamed platter for 2 was perfect for my Mom and I to have. It was so delicious and seasoned perfectly!! We also had fried oysters- they were some of the best I have ever eaten! read more

StingRay's Seafood - Seafood boil for 2! - Seafood Near Me - Tybee Island, Georgia

The service is always excellent never have a complaint. The ambiance is family friendly and I love sitting outside. The food is okay. The tacos had no seasoning very bland. The shrimp are lightly battered. Maybe when I come back again it will be better. read more

I was not impressed. I got the fish tacos. Waitress never brought me extra lemon that I asked for twice. Cole slaw wasn't good. I just can't think of anything good to say. It's right on the main drag and so location is nothing to brag about. read more

The food is excellent, well seasoned, came to the table hot from the kitchen and they were almost at capacity and a Saturday evening. Our server/waitress was awesome making sure everything was good and we had what we needed. The restaurant is nice, right on Butler Ave. The only issue was the enclosed dining area was hot, three a/c's three fans. Need a few more fans to help move the a/c. As the crowd started to thin out it started to feel better. My stars are mostly for the food and we will be back again soon. A must if visiting Tybee Island. read more

This was a great place not crowded- service was perfect and the food was fresh and delicious! The only down side is the parking is definitely a problem as this is close to the beach and not many available spots - but the restaurant is worth coming for lunch - I recommend! read more

Incredibly slow service, with no sense of urgency. Very bizarre night we had here. We sat at our table for 25 minutes before we were greeted. I felt sympathy for our server because she was the only server for the entire 8-table rooftop, and was also in charge of making all of her table's drinks, on a Saturday night, during the summer, in a restaurant in a very popular vacation area. To do this efficiently would be difficult for even the most seasoned of servers. Any sort of acknowledgement or apology would have gone a really long way, though. My 1/2 Pound Snow Crab barely contained any meat because the legs were so thin. Thankfully, I got to eat some of my friend's Crab Cake Sandwich, which was tasty and I enjoyed the creamy homemade dill sauce it came with. I also loved the Sting Shooter oyster shot. The oyster was huge (almost too big!) and you get a souvenir shot glass. Hopefully, this was just a one-off night. Wishing better for this restaurant in the future! read more

Sting Ray's Seafood completely blew my mind with their portion sizes. Dana was my server and she did a great job making sure everything came out smoothly. I ordered the Ramsey Snow Crab boil for one and had to double check that it wasn't for two because the platter was huge. It came with three snow crab legs, about a pound of shrimp, a pound of sausage, plus potato and corn. There was no way I could have finished it all by myself. I also tried the crab fritters as an appetizer, which were like mini crab cake balls, and they were really good. The only negative aspect of my visit was the bathroom located inside the restaurant. While using it I stepped on a tile in front of the toilet that popped up and threw me off balance. It may be a little TMI for a restaurant review, but it is definitely a safety hazard. I really hope the restaurant gets this addressed promptly because I often travel with my elderly grandmother, and I can only imagine how dangerous that could be for her or anyone else. read more

The service here was fantastic. I arrived here for a birthday celebration before the rest of the group. I was given a table in the area that I preferred with stellar service. The drinks are strong and tasty. The food was hot and good. Everything is made to order. There are no food warmers so your food comes straight to you once prepared. It's a family friendly environment that is lively. read more

The smoked fish dip was very good with plenty of crackers and jalapeños to spice it up. I enjoyed the Ahi Tuna with 3 yummy sauces and pickled ginger. The crab soup and the lobster and crab bisque were not good. Way too thick and had more of a "dip" texture than soup or stew. You need some work on your soups! Fried shrimp looked pretty but tasted bad. I don't know how they messed that up?!? It was still a pleasant restaurant experience but wish I had stopped at the apps. read more

More like 4 1/2 stars! This was our second favorite restaurant on island. The place is quite casual with an upper and outside deck. Inside there is a bar and several low and high tables. We chose to sit in the air conditioning. The bar was full of folks eating and drinking. And the restaurant was quite busy but we got good and friendly service. I started with their "famous" crab stew. It was creamy and packed with crab meat. Very, very good. After that i had their softshell crab sandwich. It came with fries but I switched to red potatoes. There were two meaty lightly breaded soft shells on the roll. Done of the best I've had in a long time. My husband had the peel n eat shrimp. Served warm and buttery, there was a lot of shrimp in his half pound portion. He said they were great. We'd definitely recommend this restaurant. And I would go back in a heart beat for those soft shell crabs.... read more

Decided to visit Stingrays when I saw clams on the menu. I was expecting them to include a lemon and butter broth that typically has a splash of wine in it as well, but these were served dry, covered in some type of paprika based seasoning that overpowered the clams' delicate flavor. I asked for bread and received a hoagie roll and some type of liquid trying to assume the identity of drawn butter. The service was good and ambiance pleasant- and there are at least three cats ( one named Old Bay) but food was definitely disappointing. read more

StingRay's Seafood - Steamed clams, no broth - Seafood Near Me - Tybee Island, Georgia

Service was great. The low boil was lackluster at best. The sausage was inedible and the shrimp not cleaned. The salmon salad was quite delicious. The chicken Marsala was very delicious and was on point. Overall the location and service excellent, I would recommend being careful in your selection to avoid disappointment. read more

Probably my least favorite meal that I had while visiting Tybee. Our server was nice and the outside patio isn't bad but the food just didn't do it for me. I tried the blackened mahi sandwich and it was just so bad. It didn't taste blackened at all and even though most places in the island might use frozen food, you can definitely taste it here. It didn't have any flavor except for a slight fishy taste and it was hard and not flaky at all. The fries were the best part. I was told lobster and crab bisque was good. Also tried the hush puppies which were fine but sweeter than I like and the conch fritters were super chewy in a very unappealing way. I feel like there are better places on the island to get similar food so I would not go back here. read more

The food. The alligator strips were warm and not flavorful. We ordered a dozen oysters on a half shell and they came to the table frozen. This was definitely a first in my life being served frozen oysters. We've been here many times over the years out of convenience to the house but this is definitely the last time. I would only get a drink from the bar. There are better food options on the island for seafood. read more

First, two definitions: Gloop: A thick wet substance that looks, smells and tastes unpleasant. Tourist trap: an establishment with the aim to attract tourists and their money, and typically providing poor yet overpriced services, entertainment, food, and other products. The first sign of trouble were the styrofoam cups, bowls, and plates, and plastic utensils. If charging $24-46 for "Dinners from the Steamer", there better be a tablecloth and proper tableware. My "Cadillac margarita" was Jose Cuervo and store-bought, bottled mix. The crab stew was gloop without crab meat. The french fries were the least unpleasant thing I had, but didn't come quickly from the under-heated frying oil. My wife's mussels were fresh and, in and of themselves, good, but they were served plain. No delicious Italian-cuisine-inspired tomato-based sauce for you! No baguette slices with whipped butter for you! They came with a single lemon wedge and a 2 oz plastic portion control cup of olive oil, butter and salt. This joint is a gloop-serving tourist trap. Go to Zunzibar instead! I'll post my five star review of Zunzibar soon. read more

Sadly I would stay shy of this place if you are visiting Tybee. We went here for dinner tonight on Tuesday and found out the rooftop dining is only open on Friday & Saturday. Oh well. We sat outside. The ambiance is... interesting, especially on the ground level where we sat directly adjacent to the sidewalk and busy road. Our server was nice, and got our drink and food order pretty quick. After our food was delivered, we did not see them until it was time for the check. Ok, onto the food. The food was disappointing at best. I got the cheeseburger (granted this is a seafood place) and expected better. It tasted like a boiled burger. Like one you get in high school at the cafeteria. They asked me how I wanted it cooked as well. The fries were those scrunched up ones you get frozen from the store. Not sure if they were frozen here, but they were alright. My partner got the snow crab and said it was alright. All in all, for the price (and if you're just dining and not sitting at the bar) - I would steer clear of this place. Many other places on the island where you can get much better food for a much better price. read more

Service was fast, friendly and fantastic! Great recommendation on the Dungeness Crab ! 3 clusters for 1 serving. Delicious! Coconut shrimp was crispy and perfectly cooked. The upstairs bar was great. The tables are a little high and chairs we ere awkward to sit in. It was still okay, just needs a little tweaking . read more

I went into the restaurant to order some takeout for my husband and I we're staying in town. The hostess pointed me to the bar to place my order. I ordered fried shrimp plate and side crab lobster bisque. The waitress helped herself to a 15 percent tip with out my approval. The audacity of her. Anyways, when we got back to our air bed-and-breakfast, everything tasted steamy and plastic heat because of the food containers it came in there was no taste to the shrimp. The coleslaw was warm. The soup was too fishy so we ended up throwing it out in the trashcan in front of our bed-and-breakfast $60 down the drain. What a waste read more

Good food and service. The host is very eccentric and entertaining. We liked it so much we ate here two nights in a row during our 5 day visit. We only ate in the bar area but the deck looks like a great place in the summer. read more

Love love this place! I have been coming here for years. The crab stew is to die for, awesome homemade taste. We have tasted most of the menu and nothing has been disappointing. Service is always great, seated quickly and its a neat beach atmosphere. read more

Mixed reviews. Expensive for Styrofoam. Lots of food though. The corn in the boil was the worst I ever had in my life. Waitress was cool though. We got the Low Country for 2. Seafood was cooked good. read more

It was alright. I was staying on Tybee and wanted to take a walk to dinner and I had driven past this place a few times. So I grabbed a book and walked over for an early-ish dinner. I got seated right away, outside. The patio seems to be dog friendly, but I do not mind be approached by dogs! Humans are hit or miss... The offerings seem to be mostly local and fresh, of course. And unfortunately I am on a bit of a budget. So the things I was going to be able to afford was going to be a lot of fried things. But hey...it is also vacation, so treat yo-self. I opted for the crab balls and the dill sauce was pretty dang good! I am not usually a big sauce person, but it definitely added to the dish. I also got an order of hush puppies, which was just a bit much as a solo diner... Service was ok and my soda remained full when asked. I was also able to get a to-go drink for my walk back to the airbnb an the evening. So basically...everything was fine. Nothing really stood out and I had better meals and dining experiences on the island. Seemed like a good place for families, but I had an ok time as a solo traveler and diner too. read more

I'm being nice to give it 3 stars. By far our worst meal on Tybee. The low-country boil had mushy corn, some cold shrimp, some hot (all bland), weak crab without much good meat. Rather expensive. We got 2 orders to go for those in our party arriving later; they both got fish/shrimp tacos. They both got food poisoning, so they definitely didn't care for the place. Nice atmosphere-- small little place inside. Good service, full bar but very mediocre food (plus, the food poisoning!). read more

Love this place always. This is my 2nd time going here. I got the 1/2 lb snow crab and 1/2 lb Dungeness crab. This is the best crab I've had on the island. They season it like no other. I mean hands covered. It's amazing. The crab meat itself is super fresh and good. Service is always great and they have a nice outdoor patio but the inside is also just as nice. read more

How does this place not have 5 stars across the board? This was by far one of the best seafood places I've eaten in a while and I'm well traveled. Crab and lobster bisque was full of flavor and well seasoned. My mom got a grouper and it was so fresh and fried to perfection. Shrimp and snow crab was melting in my mouth. They give you a ton of food too. We had plenty of leftovers. Will have to come back here for sure. read more

First stop at Tybee...very energetic and welcoming staff. Food was solid, peel and eat shrimp, Crab cake sandwich and crawfish were excellent. The shrimp cocktail was over priced and the shrimp in the cocktail were significantly smaller than the shrimp I got for peel and eat shrimp. Despite the staff being super awesome, it wasn't busy and drinks took a while to get and the Bloody Mary was rough. Ate inside, good ambiance with a working AC unit. read more

Excellent food and Taylor was a fantastic waitress. Gumbo was very good; lots of fish, not cream base. Wild salmon is delicious.

We had been here for lunch previously and it was good so we thought we would try dinner. After a short walk through the neighborhood we got right in. Outside table by the kitchen and entrance so a lot of traffic. Our waitress came up and introduced herself and ask if she could take her order we weren't ready but you went back and got us some water. About 2 minutes later a different waiter comes over introduces himself and asks us if he can take our order. Kind of confusing of who was helping us but eventually ended up with the waiter. If you want to go cocktails and a half dozen oysters which came out pretty quickly. The oysters were small that seem to be fresh. I ordered the low country boil which came with sausage shrimp potatoes and corn. My wife ordered the mahi mahi which she loved. I have had better Low Country boils the potatoes were undercooked and the shrimp was overcooked and rubbery the sausage is usually andouille sausage this just seemed like regular non-seasoned sausage we both have the same issue with our corn which was awful I don't even know if it was under or over but it was hot and really! We told our waiter and he brought back 2 others which were better but still off somehow! The service was good outside the confusion over waiter/ waitress. The atmosphere was fun A lot of energy and we got a great view of March Madness game. Maybe it was an off night for the cook but it was pretty busy. For the two of us and tip is about $120 which seems a little pricey for our low country boil $39. May try for lunch again but probably not dinner. read more

The bartender made an overtly racists comment about some customers at the bar in front of us, and was quite matter of fact about it, sating "I'm tired of these blacks who don't know how to order, having an attitude when their order is wrong...." .

As a vegetarian, I tend to get nervous about these coastal restaurants with "seafood" in the name. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the option of a veggie burger and the quality of the sandwich, with the inclusion of well seasoned French fries! A major highlight was the outdoor seating in the shade, which was excellent because it was such a nice day. For someone staying out of town, I also liked that the restaurant is in a part that is so walkable. My seafood-eating family was also impressed by the quality and selection! read more

Loud and crowded, but the food makes it worth it. Recommend the soft shell crab sandwich or the tacos (fish, mahi, or shrimp). Price is a little high, but about what you'd expect for the touristy area. read more

Food was great. Service ok. Atmosphere, typical beach restaurant. The reason I gave such a low mark was, they automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill. And it shows. The server did not work hard for us. I had to wait for my food to get cold for tartar sauce. Shouldn't that come out automatically when it is a seafood restaurant? Then, they charge for a credit card. So, I gave them cash. I only got bills back. Adding the change plus the gratuity, came out to 25% tip. Why pay cash when they keep the credit card fee anyway? I couldn't win. Pay with credit card, pay a fee, pay with cash, pay a larger fee. When I spoke to the server, she said we never give change, we either round up or down. I said that you should notify people of that, she got all puffy and started hunting for change. I just don't think it is right, to me, I was being robbed. read more

Perfect vacation relaxed feel-especially if eating on their outside patio. Service was attentive. I had excellent fried shrimp. My son got the blackened redfish po'boy which he raved about.

Overall a great relaxed lunch experience. read more

We enjoyed the food as well as the service. We both ordered the fish dinner plate. The fish and fries were hot and well seasoned. We sat on the patio where they had fans going (since summer has returned). We were grateful for it. Our waitress (Lindsey) was so very pleasant and patient with us. She was so engaged with my us and we really appreciated her. This was my 3rd visit and I'm glad to say that Stingray's did not disappoint. read more
