[quote="Fancy, post: 577519"]This Stinky girl has the Bluz!!!!! Went to Stinky's bar the other night, one of our favorites, just to find no Donuts!!!!! How can that be?!?!?!? :yikes:Stinky's with no Joey?!?! You might as well have no oysters!! Had to leave the reservation and truck on down 98, on a Saturday, during tourist season, to visit our favorite bartender!! Stinky's, we love you, but WOW, what a loss for you guys as well as your faithful regulars.[/quote]
 
 
I agree, and we loved Shaun too! But Stinkys still has INCREDIBLE food...my favorite on 30a

I heard the sad new too! I guess we'll have to find out where he is and go there instead!
Although--you can't top Stinky's food if you are hungry---but if I'm just thirsty then I'm going where the good bartenders are!

He's down at Bluz on 98!!  I'm sure he'd love a visit, we stopped in the other day for a few drinks.  Keep crossing my fingers someone here will be in need of a great bartender, so we can get him back on 30A!!!!!!!

I was so happy to see this post.  I haven't been back since Donuts left.  The food was becoming very inconsistent anyway.  Sometimes it rocked and others not so much.  It was becoming a toss up.  Bluz has great food!!!  I have many many things and the only thing I haven't liked at Bluz was the pesto (not sure what it was but it didn't taste like pesto ;) ).  The other 10 items I have tried have been excellent.  I go to a place based on food, service, and atmosphere.  Stinky's lost me on the last 2 - and though I miss a few of there entrees, they were not consistent enough to continue to go and fight the crowds and not have the same people there.  Big mistake on their part.

Just an opinion, but posting should not be made unless all facts are known :nono1:   circumstances are not a known factor in all events, you should not judge
