Stinky's Bait Shack

Eclectic restaurant bar and music venue, fish and other items on the menu

My sister and her husband love it. My husband and I find it challenging to enjoy consistently. We sit at the bar and we feel everyone should be treated well by the bartenders, not just some. Then do not talk about your guest when they leave in front of others. The oysters were great!

Great atmosphere and service. Very good menu but I wasn't overly impressed with the food. I would definitely go back. Photos below are grilled shrimp with Angel hair pesto, shrimp and grits (the corn sauce was the best on that plate) and ribeye with potatos au gratin.

A few locals recommended this spot. We decided to check it out after a morning at the beach, for Sunday brunch.
Service was great, atmosphere was nice, we loved he live music.
But the food was the real surprise! Better than expected and everything was really tasty without being over seasoned, over salted, over done.
I had the crab stuffed squash - excellent! And the Coleslaw...really good. My dining partner had the andoui po-boy and gobbled it up. Really great experience! I will follow suit and recommend highly!

Wednesday early evening, good drink specials and great fish options on the daily specials. Service was great, attentive and yet not over the top. Table for two, upstairs and outside. Quiet and refreshing. I recommend getting there early, when we left it was about 6:30 pm and the wait time for a table seemed long. We had complementary valet parking. Great place!

Went next door to this bar, sat at bar, only 2 people at bar. 3 people came in after us got served including one person who sat right next to us. We were never spoken to. Too bad. We will never be back. We will def go to restaurant next door. Always been great service!

Our favorite restaurant and bar -- amazing Southern and Cajun food Cooked by Chef Ben and team. Great Bar staff led by Ben, Missy, Kelly, and Angel. Gets crowded in tourist season -- so expect a wait. Awesome local live music a lot of the time!

Best biscuit and gravy on 30A (maybe the world!)

We went there on vacation last summer with a group of about 10 friends. 10 out of 10 absolutely loved it. A little claustrophobic especially during dinner time, but the scenery is nice, the food is fantastic. Lobster nachos, blackened Mahi-Mahi, Oyster log, everything was phenomenal. The best seafood I've ever had. I almost feel like people saying the food is bad are competitor restaurants trashing the place, but what do I know. Just go - you will love it!

We go here every year, it's so good! I get the corn and crab chowder, and the shrimp and grits, both are fantastic! Also good, the po boys, the fried green tomatoes, and the gumbo. I can't recommend this place enough. Also great scenery out back!
