    Entrance sign
    Soukanya P.

    Negative stars for poor service/attitude. Took about 15 minutes to be noticed and greeted by staff as 3 of us entered and stood there. When asked if kitchen was still open, staff was unsure and had to go check in the back and never came back. Looks like a house with pub on first floor. Nothing special. Just a local hangout for drinking. Wasn't able to try food.

    Different Cheesesteak #1197. Thursday night is wing night. Most seats at the bar were taken. A big bright place with lots of games. Lively crowd. I made some new cheesesteak friends. I learned that Chili is big in Cincinnati. 2nd most popular way to eat it is over spaghetti. I got a cheesesteak. It came with french fries and pickle slices. Nice crispy pickle slices. Cheesesteak spent a few minutes in the oven. To quote someone from FB, I go to Mcgillicuddy's all of the time and never thought to get the cheesesteak. Let's take this advice.

    Yelp lead us to McGillicuddy's while traveling. It is a very unassuming building on the corner of a neighborhood street. Plenty of parking. Side door marked with JD to get in. The inside is clean and dimly lite but not too dark to where you can't see. You seat yourself and a friendly staff member will came to take your order. Food came hot and fresh to the table and even though it's typical bar fare they do have unique daily specials. If we're ever back in the area we'll definitely stop in.

    I wanted to reach out and give a special thank you to our super nice late night bar tender last night 8/20/2024. Two guys with a canceled flight close to closing needing a good cheesesteak & cold beer. Met a school teacher/bar tender with great service and great smile that was welling to help. Great pub vibe with a fun snapshot making something wrong right. Thanks for being there! Jeff L.

    Enjoyed McGilli'cutlets - Italiano (took 1/2 back to hotel) and their soup of the day, broccoli cheddar. The soup was excellent, and the sandwich was very tasty. The roll was a little dense in comparison to the yummy cutlet and roasted red peppers-cheese topping, but good. I also had a bottle of beer and my bill was only about $21. Really reasonable for good food and large servings. The bartender was nice and provided decent service. * The highlight was enjoying the local crowd, and fellow Eagles fans, having a blast watching the "Cowgirls" get spanked by Green Bay. ;)

    A local favorite. The chicken cutlet hoagie is to die for!!! Great atmosphere and friendly service. The wings are great too! Love to stop here when we are in town

    Virtual menu, cold beer, great service

    This place is UNDERRATED! Cold beer, fast whiskey, and damn good cheesesteaks. Our bartender was fast and accurate on every drink and food order, as an out-of-towner, this place is my ideal pub. Tables are all COVID smart and distances, virtual and physical menus available, must order food to drink, fresh wipe down of seats and table once we picked a spot, out tender was Nicole and she rocked, treated us like regulars. 10/10 would recommend!

    Stinger’s Waterfront - Crab Cake Sandwich

    Really solid spot right on the water at Ridley Marina. It's the perfect place to go when you want a…read morerelaxed 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.

    Ambience: Stingers Waterfront was ok... The worst experience came from the weather. It was a nice…read morehot and humid day. Since there were no available tables outside, we were placed inside in a corner table with no air circulation. The humidity felt unbearable and really played a major impact on my experience. I'm sure if I came during a mid spring day I would've had a better experience. Food: the food is the only reason I would come here again. I got a crab cake that was very robust with a fair amount of filler but had a good amount of real crabmeat. My son got the quesadilla, and it wasn't anything special. The salmon was small and flavorful. Service: also was not anything special or bad. Our waitress came by twice during our stay. It was a busy afternoon and she was working. It would've been good if they had more staff so that someone could refill our water more frequently. Like I said, the humidity had taken away from our experience. Overall, I wouldn't come here throughout the hot, humid summer months, but I may give it a second try in the winter or spring... maybe.
