I had lunch here with a friend on a quiet Tuesday.
Stokes-by-the-Bay rarely seems to be busy at lunch time, so hopefully they make their money with the supper and evening crowd ?
Anyway, there were a few diners there – may 3 or 4 other groups in a fairly large dining area - enough people so you don’t think you’re the only ones there !
With the small lunch crowd, our waitress was not exactly hard-pressed, but she gave us good, friendly service.
I had the soup of the day (cream of asparagus) and the “pulled pork sliders” – 3 small hamburger buns filled with pulled pork in BBQ sauce. It was all good. I particularly like the sliders. My friend had the chipotle burger with fries and gravy. He likes hot food and was happy with the small pile of jalapeno slices on top of the fixings.
I’ve been to Stokes-by-the-Bay many times over the years. I can’t say that I’ve ever had a meal that sticks in my memory as a really really special dining experience, but on the other hand I don’t recall ever being disappointed either.
Cost for the two of us was $30.51 before gratuity.
Stokes-by-the-Bay is a good place to get a reliable, reasonably priced lunch with consistently good service. I’ll go back any time.Read more
