Crema's Take

Stinky's Bait Shack is a beloved Santa Rosa Beach gathering spot where excellent coffee pairs perfectly with surprisingly stellar food—think amazing soft pretzels, full breakfasts, and creative tropical drinks that locals and visitors genuinely rave about. The real magic here is the laid-back Florida vibe: bring your dog, catch live music, linger on the outdoor patio with family and friends, and soak in the kind of casual charm that keeps people coming back year after year. It's equal parts working bait shop and community hub, where a quick coffee run turns into hours of good company and even better people-watching.

Love stopping in at this shop, been here a year ago and stopped in again. Food is soooo amazing. Stopped in with my young children for a quick breakfast and coffee. Of course we had to purchase some turtle food and sit out back and feed the turtles. Had the biscuit sandwich and also tried the cinnamon roll biscuit (incredible by the way).

Stinkys Bait Shack is a true Florida classic. Only a quick golf cart ride from my house and every time I show up with my dog Vivian she becomes the best wing woman a man could ask for. Live music, cold drinks, and the kind of easy energy that makes you forget what day it is. I have even caught some unexpectedly solid Phish covers here which is not something I thought I would ever say in a bait shop. Every once in a while you run into your kid’s old middle school teacher but everyone pretends it is normal and keeps it moving. And yes they really do sell actual bait right next to the beer. Florida at its finest. The giant pretzels are elite. These pretzels are making me thirsty in all the best ways. Stinkys is exactly the spot northerners picture when they imagine Florida and for once they are not wrong. Always a good time.

Great shrimp po-boy. Watery gumbo. Ceviche was small and not that good. Nice views and decor. Looks like a great place for drinks and music, but we had lunch.
