    Yum. Great place. On the water. Great views. Super friendly staff across the board. Crab dip app was perfect. Two really good sandwiches. Super helpful in switching rolls to avoid a sesame allergy. And that picture was a chocolate lava cake before we destroyed it. Perfection.

    Stinger's Waterfront was the first food I had when I arrived in Pennsylvania. It's a solid 4 star spot. Nothing super crazy about the food. Menu is pretty straight forward. The wedge salad was good but the fries and cheese sauce was delicious. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive and with the place being right on the waterfront you get a nice little view. What's more, you get to watch the planes take off from the airport. I'd go back.

    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.

    We sampled the peanut butter bomb and cinnamon churro desserts- highly recommend trying both! Huge desserts!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    This place is a perfect stop after picking someone up at the PHI airport. Food was very good, fairly priced, and our waiter was outstanding

    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.

    Beautiful view and near the water. Virgin peach daiquiri and shrimp mac and cheese was delicious. Don't skip out on the tacos either

    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.

    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.

    I met two of my friends here for dinner last night. And when my friends and I meet for dinner, we…read moredon't just eat, we talk. We talk A LOT. So we look for restaurants where we don't feel bad staying a while - mainly that have ample seating so we're not taking up a table someone else needs, no table service so we're not keeping a server from turning the table over and getting their full tips, and doesn't close too early. This honeygrow ended up being an excellent choice. First off, the food was delicious. The touchscreens allow for easy ordering, and our orders were ready very quickly. We all got stir-frys. They were prepared as ordered and tasted great. Fresh ingredients, tasty sauces, and a great value for the quality and portion size. One friend got a honeybar, and it looked so delicious that I went back up to the screens to order my own after I'd finished my stir-fry. Try the new lemon mousse base for the honeybar - it's delicious! And as I mentioned, we talk. And talk and talk. And the next thing we knew we'd been there almost 3 hours! But the staff never made us feel unwelcome. In fact, we were on a first name basis with them by the time we left! Michael chatted and joked with us, and Angelina offered to clear our trays from our table and told us not to rush out because we had another hour before they closed. We appreciated their friendliness and hospitality, and we'll be coming back again to eat and talk! The only negative about this location is the sun glare that comes in windows of the dining room as the sun is setting at dinner time. Not sure there's much that can be done, but maybe a shade on the windows? We wore our sunglasses at the table for a bit so we weren't blinded until the sun went behind a tree. Otherwise the dining area is clean and comfortable, and they also have outdoor seating which seemed popular last night with the warmer weather.

The space appears brighter and more inviting than before, and their menu although small had additional specials. The young man who greeted us at the door was also our server. When I asked him about the French onion soup, he said it was their most popular appetizer, so we both decided to try it. Toasted French bread and a delicious butter flavored with a bit of tomato was lovely as we enjoyed our own wine. (The restaurant is still BYOB.) A complimentary "shot" of mushroom soup was hot and creamy. When the French onion soup came out, we couldn't say enough about it. It wasn't overly cheesy or "bready" as it just had a few toasted croutons on top. The soup itself wasn't too salty as onion soup sometimes tends to be. As an entree, I had the special which was rock shrimp with a Fra Diavolo sauce over pasta. It wasn't as spicy as I had hoped, and I would have loved bigger pieces of shrimp/more shrimp, but it was still good. My husband enjoyed his harissa lamb ragout over cavatappi even though his was spicier than expected and, similar to mine, could have had more lamb. Our attentive server made sure everything came out at the right time. The restaurant was quiet and comfortable, and we enjoyed a rare weeknight out. I'm sure we'll be back.
