Not bad, its a great place to sit while you wait for your table at stinkies restaurant, probably the whole reason it’s here. We all got the Pyrat Punch, pretty good tastes like a piña colada with cranberry.

The bait shack is the hidden location. Nice little bar where you can have a drink while you wait on your table at Stinkys. Prices are fair for the area which is high compared to other areas, but it is on 30A. There are shorts and hats available. The merchandise is nice quality. Not the cheap shirts and hats. There is also fishing rods, reels, and everything thing else needed. There was an area for live music but we never saw anyone in there.

Lilly Winwood was amazing!She’s Steve Winwood’s daughter. Steve is an English professional musician and songwriter whose genres include blue-eyed soul, rhythm and blues, blues rock and pop rock. He wrote As My Guitar Gently Weeps made famous by The Beatles, Roll With It, and Higher Love just to name a few.Anyway, Lilly played at Tim Jackson’s Songwriter Series at Warehouse 360 (for a couple weeks) until it returns to Stinky’s Bait Shack.Talent is talent, and Lilly was completely amazing. She has a superb voice and she is and extraordinary guitarist.What a treat, and she wrote a song about me called Sleep Issues.Tim Jackson’s Songwriter Series is one of the best things on 30A, one of the best - as is Stinky’s.The nicest people work there!

Road our bikes from Alys Beach to Stinky’s and back. Stopped for a beer at Stinky’s Bait Shop. Cool atmosphere and lots of beer options!

Food was outstanding, although a bit overpriced. Without doubt, the BEST grouper, hushpuppies, and bread pudding in rum with ice cream we've ever had. Expensive, but totally worth it! Unfortunately they couldn't do any frozen drinks that night, so we couldn't try their piña coladas.

Food was delicious and service was fantastic! A variety of price options could spend a lot or a little. Atmosphere was awesome. You won't regret eating here!

We love Stinky's Bait Shack which is next Stinky's Restaurant. We like a weekly trip for a cold drink and a couple bags of Turtle food. The pond out back with a beautiful walkway is loaded with Turtles of various species and sizes and they are HUNGRY.

Loved it here! Some friends and I rode out the 2 hour 45 minute wait to get in Stinky's Fish Camp (the restaurant) next door here and really enjoyed it. There was a cool guy and a keyboard playing some 70's & 80's easy listening music that you just had to sing along to ("Sweeeeet Caroline...bomp bomp bomp!") We enjoyed Cajun boiled peanuts and chips and drinks in a completely relaxed atmosphere. I wish we had just stayed here and skipped the Fish Camp altogether. Lol

The food here was awesome and extremely affordable for the area. :) I haven't had such a good po boy since I was last in NOLA, the fried green tomatoes with crawfish etouffe was to die for, and the swordfish catch of the day was buttery-perfect and phenomenal. You know what i mean when I say they had the *right* bread. Absolutely coming back here the next time I come to Santa Rosa.

Food was good, service fast, and the bait store music scene while still being and actual bait store was cool.
