Stingray's Bar Grill & Arcade — Restaurant in Brandon

Gross, disgusting, disappointing and disorganized. If this place isn't for kids, make it explicitly clear, especially since the arcade concept makes it seem it is. But our server was vaping with kids around. Had to ask for plates of all things when the food came out, like we were just supposed to eat off the sticky table. Gave me attitude when I dared to ask to see the bill rather than just take her word for it with no bill or receipt. Combine that with terrible food and that's a receipt for disaster (pun intended). I'm not exaggerating when I say the food was the worst I've ever had at a bar/restaurant. Pretty sure it was all (poorly) microwaved/air-fried. Almost no cheese on the nachos and the cheese that existed was microwaved to a crisp. Chicken tenders were burnt and tasted disgusting. A lot of games don't post prices so don't be surprised if you're sitting there slotting in quarters hoping the machine isn't just broken and eating your money. If you're just looking for a dive bar that happens to have arcade games from the 80s and 90s, maybe you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a clean, friendly atmosphere though,...

Have been coming to this place at least once a month for over a year now. This place has the best playing pinball machines in the area. The prices are on par with modern new pinball machines, with match play and extra games enabled for high scores. The machines are daily serviced and if there is a problem, it is normally fixed very quickly. Alongside pinball there is ski-ball, air hockey, pool tables, dart boards and arcade machines - a good mix of newer and older. The bartenders have always been very nice and accommodating to us as well as everyone who is in our party. There is a selection of draft beer along with bottles and cans, as well as a fountain drink option. They have a slushie machine and will do deals or BOGO days on them on Sundays. Along with pinball tournaments, they also have dart leagues. They will do special events for Baseball, hockey, football, etc along with specials throughout the games. The food at this location has some great options to choose from - the Cuban is my favorite! I will of course continue to come to this fun place as it is one of the top spots in Valrico...

Overall, cool concept. Like the arcade machines but $1.00/play is eh, especially for older games. Bartender could NOT get anyone’s order right, didn’t even take our order, had to go to the bar to order. She brought multiple of items that no one had ordered then took it back. At one point, we, as well as our friends had ordered a Cuban each (theirs with plain fries and ours loaded). She brought out two Cubans and plain fries. We told her that ours was supposed to have loaded fries. She took it back and came back with no fries, saying that it was supposed to be our friends but they said they didn’t order two then she said it was ours and the cook didn’t want it to get cold. Our heads were spinning in confusion. We had also ordered cheese bread with our Cuban but it didn’t come for a long time. She said our order got put behind someone else’s that had ordered after ours. Our friends said they’d been here many times with no issues so idk. It also was not busy at all, which...
