What diners say — our read

Across 18 reviews, opinion here is genuinely mixed. Reviewers who mention service rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. Whether it is worth the money follows at 22% of reviews, where ratings average 3.5.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (14 reviews). Newer reviews score better than older ones (5.0 recent against 4.5 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average. Behind those, freshness is raised in 17% of reviews (4.0 average).

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (95/100), with 5 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point.

The citations behind that grade include nonfood-contact surfaces clean and plumbing installed & maintained.

    This is hands down the best shrimp and fish fry place. They have better cornbread than anywhere I’ve ever come across with no competition at all. Been coming here for 15 years. Whenever I bring someone new, they tell me it was a highlight of their trip to Florida. Stonningtons is legendary in our family.

    Showed up 15 minutes before they closed on 4/19 and the worker saw me walking in and shut and locked the door in my face 0/10 would not recommend.

    We got there before the lunch rush. The menu was odd when we placed the order. Just the fact that one meal didn’t come with a drink, but one did, but the food was wonderful the mac & cheese the onion rings the chicken tenders since I’m not a seafood lover, my brother is he enjoyed his also.

    When I saw this place, I was excited that I had finally found a good seafood place so I tried it three or four times. I was disappointed that the only thing with flavor is the sauce and the cornbread It’s as if there’s no seasoning at all on the Seafood. It’s golden brown it looks delicious. The batter is impeccable, but there’s just no flavor. In addition to that I have to say the portions are very deceptive. I ordered the five piece cod meal and I got pretty much cod Nuggets. None of the dishes will you receive the whole piece of fish? This would be acceptable if it was clear before you ordered it and for the price you would expect that you would get a A whole piece of fish. I really wanted this to be my go to For my cheat days and times I just crave something fried.

    Great spot good price and quick service. I didn’t get her name but the cashier who took my order was so nice , she gave me a bag for my Walmart cupcakes which was very very helpful because I was walking / taking the bus. So very considerate I will definitely be back because of her service
