Very disappointed in the new food menu. I say this as someone who genuinely liked the vibe and food…read moreat this place before - I've held an event here even in the past. Portions were incredibly small (this photo is $50 worth of food) and they forgot an extra side I paid for and one of the included sides. Including a half filled cup of baked beans (ridiculous), when I picked up the order I asked if it was all there and was told it was. Order was wrapped up in a bag and didn't feel the need to rip it open to verify but apparently I should have. Missing items aside, what am I looking at here? $5 more at other barbecue restaurants and I'd have so much food I need two hands. Two tiny portions of chicken? And above all else - no barbecue sauce was provided. Happy to give a new place time to adjust but this is an established restaurant trying a new menu, shouldn't be this egregious.

Hey! Looking to get treated like crap at a bar that obviously thinks it's a lot more important…read morethan it really is? Feel it's not a complete night out unless you get ignored by the bartender for at least 10 minutes while she flirts with her boyfriend at the end of the bar? Want a place where the staff looks upon a large group of good-tipping regulars as an inconvenience that forces them to actually do their job? If you answered yes to the above questions than this is the place for you! But enough of the sarcasm. The Sting is a very standard bar. Decent layout, darts AND pool (who could ask for more?), nice-ish outdoor seating right along side a major street. What sets it apart is its service. For years a large group of people I worked for went to this bar every Sunday night, who knows why. We routinely put up with horrible service, mediocre prices and the lack of food or even bar-snacks out of a sense of inertia but when we found out the staff actively hated our presence (be careful who you talk to, Miss Bartender), that was it. I'll never go back to this place, nor will my coworkers, and, considering the vast number of alternatives in Oswego, I'd highly suggest all'y'all give this place a miss.

I was kind of hesitant to stop here as some of the other reviews weren't so pleasant, however we…read moreactually stayed at the hotel that this restaurant is in and just to make sure being a bar and grill I wanted to see what they had so we checked out the menu before sitting and yeah, no problem I can't remember the name of the way Chris but she was awesome very attentive and helped my wife out with a drink but I'll get that out in a minute. We started with appetizers and we were very impressed. I had some fish strips and she had some clams, and both were very tasty. After this I ordered a fake haddock beer battered onion rings and she had a macaroni and cheese with seafood. Everything tasted just wonderful. It was a nice breezy evening and we sat out on the porch overlooking the river which was only about 100 yd from the lake anyway. The part I wanted to brag about was when my wife showed me the cocktail menu and asked what she thought I would think she would like and I mean this light-heartedly because my wife does not like the taste of alcohol. There's only one particular flavor of wine for example that she can have and I've tried it, it tastes like a spoonful of sugar, I'm not a big fan.. but either way they didn't have that there and nothing else on the cocktail menu looked to me like she was going to enjoy it however I had a video that I had saved from you too a year ago of oranda bartender making a drink that could be served to people that don't like the taste of alcohol. I'm not going to go into what was in it here however I showed the ingredient list to the waitress and asked her if she thought that the bar would have all of that and she replied yes so she wrote down to each individual ingredient and came back with this cool looking glass full of pinkish liquid it had two oz of alcohol in it according to the list I gave her, and my wife absolutely loved it. So basically from a waitress telling a bartender. Here's what I want but I don't know the name of it, but here's what's in it... They nailed it. . Add that to everything else that went splendidly, and yeah I would definitely come here again.
