Stingers Burger Bar

I have had to drop the rating on this place. They must have changed the chef and have came back multiple times hoping they will get the food right again. The burgers used to be absolutely amazing. The meat, the hot dogs, the chicken fingers were all awesome and cooked just right. Now the flavor is gone, the hot dogs are sometimes burnt, the burger asked to be cooked medium is more like medium well to well done.
The service is great though. The bartenders, the waiters, all provide great friendship, service and conversation, but the kitchen needs their old chef back or a better one.

This place is amazing, love the young staff. Huge TVs playing sports full bar. awesome food. came here a bunch of times when i was bored and needed something fun to do, Great place to come with friends and family its a Sushi-​bar/​Burger-​Bar/​Sports-​Bar.
i had a really good time here. would recommended it to everyone! its that good.
chicken finger at 100!
Thursday Night is when the real party is. i haven’t really been here for the events but they always look pumpin with the college kids having a good time.

I am APPALLED at the place. the bouncers while kicking everyone out at 1:30 am, PUT MY HANDS ON ME, and called me Nd my friends «dirty whores.» disgusting. while I continued to say, okay I’m leaving, continued to push me and throw beer in the face. the men who work here are disgusting and do not go here EVER

I love the food here. The pulled beef is a gastronomic delight! Decent beer on tap as well

Never had a meal here, however I have showed up around 10pm when the dining hall has cleared out. The place is run by a bunch of degenerates, a couple of scrub bouncers that think they can push everyone around along side of their little bar backs that think they have a say in what happens with the place. Very unhappy with the initial welcoming. The staff acted as if they had control of my personal belonging and could do whatever they felt was right with them, unacceptable. Whoever decides to choose this location will be poorly satisfied. Please look elsewhere for entertainment, much other potential quality and respectable places to choose from within this area.

Epic failure!!! The food was atrocious and cold and the service was equally awful. The burger was tasteless and cold, the fries tasted like frost bites and their schnitzel was disgusting, soggy and old. We also ordered, on the recommendation of the server, the pulled beef burger, which was dipped into a poor quality BBQ sauce and dumped on a tasteless burger. The soba bun on which they served the burger was taken out of the freezer shortly before being served to us, and had likely been sitting in the freezer for several months.
The service was just as bad. It took us 45 minutes to get our food when the restaurant was not packed. During the wait, it there were no waiters to be found on the floor.
This place has so much potential, but they completely lack on execution. Avoid at all costs.

This place is great. Can relax at the bar watching a game while eating some great food… Only downside was they are a bit under staffed.

There is nothing wrong with the place itself. But the DJ last night on Thursday, dear god help him. I dance in clubs for a living and this was literally the worst DJ I have ever heard in my entire life. Ever. Half the time I was there the music wasn’t even on, and the other half of the time was this guy just SCREAMING nonsense into the mic. Someone needs to say something to him

We went to the fancy extension of Stingers– 656 Ocean. It was horrendous. Our food came out 1-​by-​1, so that we literally each ate individually. We arrived at 7:30 and didn’t get out until 10:30! They completely messed up 2 orders and charged us for all food despite the mess-​ups. While the waitress was friendly and the cocktails were great, I would strongly recommend against the place in the summer. Perhaps off-​season will treat you better.

Came here with my boyfriend and one of his friends, and from the start it was a disaster. We sat at the bar for the USA/​Portugal and it was not crowded, but for some reason it took 15 minutes to receive menus.
Everyone working in this place had an attitude and acted like their lives were beyond miserable. We asked the waitress what was on tap and she fired back with «I need to see everyone’s IDs». I have NO problem showing my ID, but seriously there are nicer ways to ask, trust me I’m also a bartender. Back and forth we heard employees complaining about the people they were waiting on in ear shot of other patrons. One even asked when she herself could start drinking.
I ordered chicken fingers which were slimy, our friend ordered the chili which was dry, and my boyfriend ordered a burger which came out 15 minutes after my friend and i got our food.
We couldn’t wait to pay the bill which was a hassle to get since the bartender forgot about us and began ignoring us after our food was served. The MOST upsetting part was that we were forced to pay 18% gratuity on a 3 person bill which we were NOT informed about and was NOT on the menu. This place needs John Taffer’s help if it wants to be considered a bar. If it wasn’t for us being forced to pay gratuity we would not have left a tip.
Shame on this place!!!

The place was quiet (it may not be season). Décor was very upscale, background music was elegant. They had plenty of waiters. Food arrived very fast. The food was tasty and presented elegantly. Bill for two including tip was $ 105.00. We had appetizers (spring rolls with stuffed vegetables for me, large greens salad for my wife), hanger steak (for both) a few types of salads and sides, and tea and wine. They have a nice wine menu by the bottle and a limited (but still decent) wine list by the glass.
Note, our review is for 656 Ocean not for Stingers Burger Bar. Not that we have anything bad about Stingers (connected to 656 Ocean), we just did not visit Stingers.

If you keep kosher, Stingers offers a unique dining experience. There aren’t many kosher sports bars out there so Stingers is probably your only choice within 100 miles if you want a glatt burger and the Jets game. Bar has all the basics of what you would expect to see at a typical sports bar; no craft beers. Food is ok, stick to the basics and you should enjoy it. Service can be slow, even bordering on frustratingly slow so have a few drinks and calm your nerves while you wait.
