Love their shrimp fried Tacos and fries combo. Been coming for a few weeks and can't get enough of it. I am still yet to taste more of their great food. I will do a following review as i taste other foods in their menu.

Every time I go past on my way to and fro, Stewby's is packed. I was asking Google to take me to a big fish sandwich, and it took me past Stewby's to CapnDs. Why not, I have time to kill today.Captain D's is dead to me now.4 … More stars on food because they discontinued cornbread.I love cornbread with seafood and BBQ.Dae and Ellis were absolutely amazing in sorting this 'first-timer'.Parking: Parking extends to gravel lots behind restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp at the rear.

I'm an out of town occasional diner. I always visit Stewbys because the food is always good. I recommend the grilled Mahi Mahi, grilled Amberjack, and grilled Colossal Shrimp. Their fried Mullet is good if you don't mind a slightly … More fishy taste. If you're lucky enough to find Snapper on the menu, it's worth the price. If you haven't tried fish tacos, Stewbys are really tasty. Green beans, slaw, seasoned fries, and colards are all good side choices. Today, I tried their onion rings. I will be ordering those again soon. The fried okra is another great selection. My wife and I sometimes split a Shanty Pie to top our meal off. The sweet tea is good.Many times, it's crowded. The diners have always been friendly and willing to share their table. There are some picnic tables around back which we enjoy when the weather is comfortable.
