Honestly, I would spend your money elsewhere.We got to the restaurant and there were only a couple of other tables. It seemed like the restaurant was really short staffed as we waited over twenty minutes to get water, let alone any orders in.Once our orders came out, the medium burgers came out very well done, but we had already been inside the restaurant for nearly an hour. The Striper’s signature tacos were very bland, would recommend trying something else. For the price, we were pretty shocked at how underwhelming the food was.Overall, not an establishment we’d come to again, and would recommend more people working on the day of large events!

Nice location and looking restaurant. Service was very slow. Went at lunch but the resturaut was only about half full. Took us almost 20 minutes for someone to come ask for our drink orders. After ordering food it took over 30 minutes to get it. We ordered two hamburgers and one order of tacos..The food was fine, but nothing to write home about.

John was working the top bar and dinning area. He was awesome to my Mom & I. My mom and I visit family here often. We had a rough day and stopped into our spot to unwind from the crazy day. The service from him was great. I think maybe the kitchen may have been having some issues. A little! John was awesome ! However, Madeline is not so nice! Was a smart mouth. I ordered to go orders for my family at home. One was wrong. So I called to ask what was the to go order and just wanted oyster stew. I wasn’t upset or anything. I didn’t expect a refund or anything. It was just miscommunication btwn John and I. Madeline was being smart with me and I don’t like disrespect at all. I asked if I could get a bowl to take home. I got a cup! I did want a refund just Over all besides her. We enjoyed our time.

I made birthday reservations for this place yesterday for 11 people. I put down a 100 dollar deposit. When we arrived the entire restaurant was closed. They did not let us know at all and still have not answered any of my phone calls. When we arrived we all had to look for some other place to go. This place is unreliable and I will never spend my money here again. I suggest you do the same. Horrible experience overall and I will never come back. I would put zero stars if I could.

This place has poor business ethics! Made a reservation to come have a party and left a down payment to make sure we show up and the place was closed all weekend. We show up with our party and this restaurant isn’t even open. The manager had no care to call and explain anything. This place is trash and will never get our business again.

Jamal O was a great bartender. He was super friendly, attentive and social. His drink craft was awesome. He made sure myself and party were satisfied and refreshed. Definitely recommend Jamal as your bartender.

Great ambiance, very friendly staff, very accommodating. Food was a little disappointing. $55 seafood boil... The 1 cluster I got had no bottom legs on it ?? For that much money, I want the WHOLE cluster, not half. So when I whispered it to the waiter, he said he had to ask the manger if he could replace it.... Long story short, he came back with 2 extra clusters. This is the great service I mentioned, but the low quality of the food side because they were VERY pretty but FROZEN SOLID with butter splashed on it, topped with parsley. BEAUTIFUL, but not edible. I didn't want to complain again! I felt horrible, tho I really didn't do anything, so I just took the frozen crabs home and steamed them myself. Too much work for a $225+ bill for 2.

Delicious food at Stripers! Seafood is amazing!Kid-friendliness: If your kid is afraid of heights, make sure you park somewhere other than the parking garage that makes you walk in a bridge above 4 lanes of traffic.

Some items on the menu were no longer available! Food was mediocre & bland for price charged! Fish tacos were so bland had to add ketchup for flavor!!! The shrimp scampi was bland & the shrimp was overcooked! Business was slow as was the service!!! Definitely would not recommend this establishment nor will I return!

Went out with my husband. Got seated around 7:30, last seating is at 8p. It was great because it wasn't crowded. We ordered tequila flights, crab dip and 2 entrees. The spinach risotto is amazing!! Our server Anna was great. Would definitely go back in the warmer months and sit next to the water.

Don't waste your time. My husband and I had RESERVATIONS on Valentines Day at 6:30pm. We didn't get seated until well after 7:30pm. What is the point of having a reservation? Then the older lady at the front checking people in had a very nasty attitude and you could tell that she didn't want to be there. The food was mediocre. My husband and I had the salmon with some type of crab topping with mash potatoes and asparagus from their "special" Valentine's day menu. We will not be returning to this place.

Booked a Valentines Day package. Wait staff was very nice and service was good. I recommend the restaurant for sure but not for the package. The time between courses was waaaaaayyyyyyy to long.Other than that all else was good.
