Poor Service and Unreliable Reservations
Stripers seems to struggle with holding reservations, as evidenced by Jeffrey Juge Gilman's 1-star review. He and his partner made a reservation for their 46th anniversary, but when they arrived, they were told the restaurant was closed due to a private event. The staff's response was simply "sorry, " leaving the couple feeling disrespected and unhappy.
Menu Misrepresentation and Inedible Food
Brian Hall's 2-star review highlights the restaurant's menu issues. He was surprised to find that the online menu did not match the real menu, and the chef seems to be limited in their abilities. The food was inedible, with the slaw being particularly repulsive. Brian praises the service, but strongly advises against visiting Stripers.
