I was kind of surprised by some of the reviews, I have eaten there many times and it was always very good although there can be a bit of a wait if it is busy. This is small operation, not a chain, everything is cooked to order and it takes some time. The pizza is my favorite in Havasu, they... more

I don't know if it was all the build up, or what---but, we did not like their famous fish fry. The fish was so thick, and the batter tasteless. And the wait was unbelievable. First we were shuffled through the restaurant and put out in the back yard to sit on picnic tables in the heat. Was ridiculous, felt completely... more

We are truly sorry that you did not enjoy your time at Stearns. Our Fish Fry-Day has been one of our most popular nights since we opened three years ago, so to read your review is very troublesome. We have never claimed to be the speediest restaurant in town, but we do pride ourselves on a friendly atmosphere and great...

Tripadvisor relies on traveller's reports for ratings... every now and then we need to be reminded of that. While my husband & I are fairly reliable on reporting accommodations, we rarely remember that restaurants deserve the same attention. We have been in Lake Havasu for a month, enjoyed many restaurants, especially ChaBones and Shagrues - but wanted something different for... more

My sincerest apologies for your experience at our restaurant. I agree that what you experience was unacceptable. Since your visit our staff has changed. We hope that you'll give us another chance next time you come through Lake Havasu. Thanks for taking the time to review our business!

Wife and I read the reviews on Trip Advisor and thought we'd give it a try. After driving past the Adult Book store and RV park, we found it! VERY basic decor and small bar, perfect for locals. Booths are homemade of 2 X 6 'S and wobbly. Hamburger was very average. Server was very friendly though. Interesting for party... more

I'm sorry you didn't fully enjoy your time at Stearns. My husband and I have worked incredibly hard for the past three years to create a place where customers feel welcomed and are served great food at affordable prices. Our incredibly loyal patrons are from all walks of life. Their appreciation has has been reflected in many of our reviews...

If you get a chance to travel to Lake Havasu, or happen to already live there, this restaurant is a great place to come and enjoy a great meal in a friendly atmosphere. There is also a bar opposite to the dining area if you would like some great drinks. I strongly recommend this one! more

Really enjoyed Stearns, even went back a couple of time during our weeks vacation in Havasu! We like the variety menu but even better, everything was more like "made to order". The place has a lot of charm inside and you can relax for the duration without being expected to leave. Seems like everything is very well thought through with... more

What a great place to meet friends. A Christmas family reunion found us at Stearns. The Bloody Mary's were the best I've ever had - just a little bit of kick to them! Taco Tuesday is a bargain. Great soft shell tacos for $1 each - huge and delicious. We had great service, great food and for the right price.... more

Stearns is far the best place to be for a delicious meal and the cozy home feeling. You can have a nice quiet, relaxing time at Stearns. Me and my husband have been trying new little places all over Havasu and we heard about Stearns and we figure why not. And we we not sorry we did. We are telling... more
