I was a bit concerned when we arrived. Passing a group on the way out I overheard a woman say "well, that was terrible". not a great impression. Fortunately she was wrong. We were seated immediately but it took a liwhile for the waitress to come by. I think they only had one serving the inside tables. She was very nice though. The food was awesome y'all! Best bisque I've ever had! I'm not a large person and can rarely clear my plate but this time there was nothing left! read more

Our service was wonderful. Our seating was nice. It was a convenient location on a nice calm October evening watching the sun go down, but the food was bland and tasteless. and my crabcake was overcooked my cottage. Fries were hard as a rock but, the lobster bisque was delightful, but I would never come here again read more

I'm actually surprised this restaurant has such high reviews, I'm from Murrells inlet, sc. I'd like to think I know good seafood. We had the Cajun boil for one, a crab cake sandwich and hush puppies. The hush puppies were great, the crab cake sandwich was good, good fries and she loved the dill sauce. The Cajun boil..... not so much. It was edible but had very little flavor. The shrimp were over cooked and potatoes were plain, like they were cooked in just water, sausage....... Ok but also not flavor. Being on a beach town you would think the seafood would be great. But it just missed so much of the southern flavors we are so use too. Also bathrooms were absolutely disgusting..... I didn't even want to wash my hands in there. read more

You are think when you order gumbo at a seafood restaurant it would be a good choice. What I got was like the scrapings off the bottom of the pot. If I wasn't absolutely starving, I should've sent it back. read more

I love StingRays! Every time I'm on my way to Tybee, I can't wait to get the blackened mahi tacos from there! It's one of my favorite meals. My boyfriend doesn't eat seafood, so he usually has a burger or chicken sandwich from there, and those are delicious as well! read more

There's a lot of seafood places on Tybee Island and StingRay's is the better than the others. The food is a bit pricey but that's because it's in a touristy beach location. Beers are cold, service is quick and sometimes even friendly and the food is good. If you order boiled shrimp, ask for seasoning on the side. They don't boil the shrimp with seasoning - they sprinkle it on afterwards. When you peel the shrimp, all the seasoning goes in the bucket with the shell. Add your side of seasoning to your peeled shrimp or add to your butter. Warning - do not use the bathroom on the lower deck. It should be condemned. Go inside if you need a potty break. You will thank me for this warning! read more

This came recommended to us and it was damn good. 1 hour wait was to be expected for a beach restaurant so not too bad. Peel and eat shrimp was some of the best I've ever had. Hush puppies were also very good. A little on the pricey side but overall really good. read more

We went on Friday night. There was a little bit of a wait, they were having live music the band and atmosphere was great. My boyfriend got the crawdads and I got the shrimp tacos, they both tasted very bland. The fries were good and having vinegar for them is always a plus. read more

Service so bad. They don't say hello. Bad attitude. Beginning for the host. We when to the bar and the girl wasn't friendly. We wait long for the food , they didn't have what we want we ordered the mahi mahi that was over done. So sad. Never again read more

The food was fine. Just be prepared for a wait. This is a very popular place and there is a minimum 30 to 45 min wait. They do not take reservations. read more

If you're looking for a good seafood boil, this is NOT the place to go. We got the low country boil with crab legs and it was very disappointing for the price we paid. The crab legs were small, not much meat. That, the shrimp, and corn weren't seasoned well. The shrimp were almost impossible to peel. Oh and we always enjoy having an insult served with our meal! Waiter made sure to remind us not to steal the crackers. Unless you're staying within walking distance or can uber, then don't both trying to go! They don't have any parking and the tiny lots near them you'll have to pay for. I'd have to say we won't be back. read more

I arrived at Sting Ray's Seafood at about 3:30 on Saturday afternoon after several hours at the beach, definitely hungry. I'm an adventurous eater so when I saw a soft shell crab sandwich on the menu I knew I had to try it. My friendly and attentive server, Angela, arrived nearly immediately after I was seated, took my drink order, and promptly returned asking if I had any questions. I asked about the sandwich and if you do indeed eat the whole crab, to which she answered yes, explained how it was cooked, and warned it had a strong seafood flavor. I love seafood of all types, so I enthusiastly ordered it. I swear that less than 5 minutes passed and my sandwich arrived, in all it's leggy glory! It does indeed have a strong flavor, accentuated by its very light but well seasoned batter, and hot, albeit a bit greasy (but very welcome) nicely seasoned crinkle fries. I spread the yummy dill spread on the crab and devoured it. It was hot, crispy and delicious! I highly recommend! read more

Big crab girl so was very happy to have seafood in general. The crab was so soft alongside the potatoes, shrimp, and sausage. They season it pretty well but I usually like extra spice so I was dipping it in hot sauce lol. I wish I took a picture but the wait ended up being almost an hour instead of 30mins so was hungry but can't say that I didn't leave satisfied! Would recommend since Pier 16 usually needs reservations read more

Great lunch at StingRay's. We got the fried shrimp basket and it was great! Good service- enjoyed our stop!

We loved the food here. We had Ahi Tuna that was as fresh as it gets. We also had shrimp tacos. They were very flavorful and had large shrimp. My husband had a fried scallop plate. He said there must of been 20 scallops on it. He couldn't finish his plate. Wow! This was the best, the very best place out of all of Tybee for service. We didn't have to wait on drink refills. Thank You Raina for making our dinner a memorable and nice one on our last day of vacation. read more

Have been coming to Tybee for many years and have always frequented StingRay's. This time, however, one of our main entrees (fried oysters) was completely over fried to the point of being burnt and inedible. The server checked with the manager and came back with the only response of "sorry". The manager didn't even have the backbone to come to our table to tell us himself. We were only spending about $250 in the restaurant for our meal. Guess it was too much to expect the main entrees (at ~$30 a pop) to be properly cooked and actually suitable for consumption. When leaving I passed the manager and told him that he needed to eat the overcooked oysters, and he didn't respond. I get that sometimes problems happen, but what counts is how the problem is addressed. This was a complete punt. That's ok though, cause in the long term we will cost them much more than one replacement plate of fried oysters. We routinely come to Tybee and will never patron StingRay's again. Will also share our experience with our host so she can stop recommending them to other guests and relay our experience. They get the tourist traffic that doesn't know any better, but there are too many other actual quality options in the area. Never again. read more

Outdoor seating with great food and amazing portions. Seafood broil was amazing. Single serving size is definitely leaving you with leftovers. Dungeness crab was also delicious. Healthy size portions and drinks. We had Sidney as our server and she was fantastic. Definitely coming back. read more

Old guy in the front with the white hair treated my table absolutely horrible. seated an 8 top before my party of 6 and when i asked why he started screaming in my face being extremely rude. i've never experienced service this bad!!!! servers were so sweet and great. server was told he does this to everyone, just sad. read more

Typical bar food, nothing special. It was located right on the street and was heated by propane fire tube things. It was just okay. I have no idea how the mayo based tarter sauce has been sitting on the table, but I didn't use it! read more

Fun atmosphere, live music. We stopped at bar while waiting for table. We order an appetizer and meal, come with a hardy appetite too. The platter was big enough for 2 and we added mussles and clams extra. Everything was seasoned and hot. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a must stop. read more

Smelled wonderful - Seafood great , nice outdoor porch sitting. Pleasant staff. Bloody Mary was so Good.

We had heard good things about Stingray's and the eating were decent - plus they had a sign on the building that said they were voted the "best placed for seafood." It was located right next door to our beach rental, so we decided to give it a try. There was nine of us, so the wait was roughly an hour for dinner. Right away we noticed that they were understaffed. The staff looked stressed and overwhelmed. Service was extremely slow, but recognizing that they were understaffed, we were really patient throughout the night. We were extremely disappointed with our meals. The expectations were much higher, but the food was below average at best. I had the Mahi Mahi Sandwich. I asked for it plain and not blackened. It came out blackened. The fish was dry and barely warm. The bun was rock hard and had mold on it. The other meals we ordered included, Steamed Shrimp, Low Country Boil, and Chicken Fingers and a few other items. The consensus was that the food was below average. Overall a disappointment, but our server was good and she did her best. Definitely out of her control. read more

Angela and Heather are the best!! Stingray's is, hands down, the freshest, best-tasting sea food on the whole island.

After a long drive from NC we were excited for a good meal. Wait was 40 minutes but that wasn't a big deal for us. Sat down and ordered drinks and an app plus our meal. App arrived. We ordered calamari and what came out looked like burnt onion rings (see photo). It was the worst calamari I've ever had in my life (no exaggeration there lol) burnt rubber. Then our meals arrived. The French fries that came with both of our meals were all no more than an inch long and not good (also see attached) Drinks never arrived. Finally I flagged down a waitress and was able to get our drinks. Burger bun was stale. Maybe they were having an off night but we were not impressed and won't be back. read more

I'm a little late posting this review, and I promised them that I would share my experience. If you follow my reviews, you have read what I wrote about a dinner at "The Original Crab Shack" in Tybee Island the night before we ate here. We were the first in line when they opened (we were staying at the motel across the street), and we were seated promptly. After we got our menus, we were greeted by two servers - actually, I later learned that it was the manager and a trainee. I told them about our bad experience from the previous evening, and the manager assured us that it would be better here. I also jokingly told her that I was going to become "Karen with a p*nis" and Yelp the crap out of the Crab Shack. (I did.) she got a kick out of that. (Perhaps I should clarify this review by saying this is a very informal restaurant. Outdoor dining on a multi-level patio, and everybody is enjoying adult beverages and having a good time. My dining partner chose to stick with water, but I was still craving sweet tea. Which I got. In a Styrofoam cup marked "Karen with a P*nis". The food was delicious. Since we ordered the fried platter for two, we did not get any appetizers. We were planning to leave Tybee Island after lunch, and didn't want to be too full. The server was attentive without being invasive. She kept my tea refilled. (actually, if she was a trainee, I couldn't help but wonder if they hired her from another local seafood restaurant. She obviously knew what she was doing, and how to do it.) When we were getting ready for the check, she came up and asked "I hope you don't think this is a personal question, but what is your T-shirt size?" I replied "Lard-a$$". (XL). And she brought me a complementary T-shirt. So - if you got this far, you might think I was compensated for this review. But T-shirt or no T-shirt, I would've said the same thing. Both my dining partner and I were impressed, and we would certainly come back again. This was a wonderful conclusion to our trip, and we left the Savannah/Tybee Island area very happy. read more

Terrible service- overpriced overcooked food. Food served in basket with some cheap plastic silverware. For the price it should be served with real silverware on a plate. Table was greasy. Waitress looked really high. AC not working well- hot inside. Not clean inside. Found some gross content in the bucket that holds the condiments. It looked like vomit. These things should be cleaned daily..yuk. Server and manager very rude. Do not recommend and will NEVER go back. read more

We came on New Year's Eve for dinner, obvious vibes from the hostess that she wasn't happy to work, lol, When we asked for a table for four, she said "it will be a long wait". When asked, do you have an approximate wait time, she responded "whenever". Well, we didn't see that as a warning sign, we got seated in 10 mins... and sat in the middle of the aisle right next to the bathroom. We had groups of people standing and gathering over us... And in terms of food, it was well overcooked with minimal flavors. Good portion for its price, but not best of quality. The shrimps were not deveined and it absolutely grossed my friend out. One of my friend ordered burger and fries, tasted like frozen food from Costco's. read more

No frills but good seafood. It's not fancy and you'll wait a bit longer but the service is friendly and you get good seafood. The low country boil was good but the shrimp could have more seasoning- it wasn't worked in well enough. The sausage was on point though. The scallops in the fisherman's platter was amazing. The bathrooms are 'divey' but as expected. Again it's not meant to be great and worth a stop if you're on the island for a few days. read more

We visited mid-week in the late afternoon and told it would be a 40 minute wait for outside seating. No problem, we had a drink and waited. When our names were called they stated it is an hour wait from the time you are seated to get your food...This information would have been good to know when we checked in. This was shared as we were taken to an inside table, which would not work for various reasons in the summer of 2020. The hostess apologized and said it would be a little longer then since they mixed things up. After 10 more minutes we decided to leave and had amazing meal at the Taco Shop across the street! Two stars instead of one due to the decent beer selection and upper deck waiting area to enjoy the drinks! read more
