Ideal location, view, experience but like many others have said service sux. Owners please read this N fire Bernice. From the moment we walked in she had an attitude, can't multitask, N was rude. We placed our order N while most places ask to be paid after the meal I understand U ask 4it at the time the order is placed, but then don't ask 4 a TIP because at that point U have not given any service. We reluctantly tip'd N regretted it. Our food came up N sat on th cooler 4 ten minutes B4 Bernice could figure out it was our food. Meanwhile the other pregnant bartender sat there playing solitaire on her phone, so fire her too! The saving grace was a women who worked in the gift shop who was eatting her lunch. She took the initiative to hand out food that people ordered even though it was not her job N she was eatting her lunch! If U want condiments, silverware, napkins, etc put signs up or put it the menu this is all self service....so why ask 4A tip. If U ask Bernice N her pregnant cohort UR reaponse is I'm too busy or an attitude finger pointing get it yourself its over there.
My opinion bring UR own beer N food and enjoy the scene on the beach. Tons of cruisers N tourists. Renaldo super friendly, makes awesome conch salad, N treats U 2 feeding the stingrays. Wild cats on the beach are so friendly N entire scene is beautiful just don't go to the bar U will be disappointed by...
Read moreThis post has been updated. We have since returned on Sunday for the Pig Roast and more. We were hoping our last experience was just a bad day. We did notice the staff was more positive. Although there were still limitations regarding the availability of menu items and drinks, we did settle on items that were acceptable. We did not wait excessively for our orders this time. We've always enjoyed our visits here, but our experience last Sunday was notably disappointing. Arriving at 4pm, we were surprised to find that not only was the pig roast unavailable, but they had also run out of almost every other option. The selection at the bar was extremely limited, with only beer readily available. Our order, which took over an hour to arrive, was incorrect. The atmosphere was tense; staff members were stressed and voicing their unhappiness with the establishment. The owner was visibly upset, directing anger towards the employees unaware of the impact it was having in the guests. The delay in service caused noticeable frustration among customers, a stark contrast to the typically lively and enjoyable environment. The entire experience left us so disheartened that we doubt we'll visit again. It's unfortunate to witness such a decline in a place we once loved. If not for the scenic views and friendly people on the beach, the outing would have been a complete...
Read moreChat 'N' Chill on Stocking Island is the epitome of island paradise! From the moment we docked our boat on the pristine beach, we knew we were in for something special. The laid-back, welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home, and the breathtaking views of the turquoise waters are absolutely mesmerizing.
The beach bar and grill is fantastic—nothing beats the fresh conch salad, made right in front of you with the freshest ingredients. The BBQ is mouthwatering, and the drinks are cold and refreshing—perfect for a day of relaxation in the sun. The vibe here is unmatched, with live music, friendly locals, and fellow travelers all coming together to enjoy the best of island life.
One of the highlights was getting to feed and swim with the friendly stingrays that glide gracefully in the shallow waters right off the beach. It was an unforgettable experience that added a unique touch to our visit.
The staff at Chat 'N' Chill are super friendly and make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your time on the island. Whether you're lounging in a hammock, playing a game of volleyball, or just soaking up the sun, you'll feel like you're living the dream.
If you're in the Exumas, a visit to Chat 'N' Chill is an absolute must. It's the perfect spot to unwind, make new friends, and soak in the beauty of the Bahamas. I can't wait to come back! Highly...
