“ Went to this local favorite to try for the first time. Didn't know what to expect, it's a walk up service, they prepare your order and call you to the pick up window. The place Carrie's that beach restaurant vibe and was very clean. The staff was friendly and gave great advice. I had the grilled Amber Jack with green beans, potato salad and a side of gumbo. First, their hush puppies are FANTASTIC. Crunchy with great flavor. The Amber Jack was perfectly seasoned, maybe a grilled a little too long, but still had great flavor. The green beans are made in a bacon base and are fantastic and still a little snap to them. The potato salad is thick, hearty and pretty good. The gumbo was okay too, had pretty solid flavor and lots of different ingredients. If you get it, you're gonna want to let it sit as it's really hot (temp). I'm glad people suggested I try it. It is good. ”
“ Excellent Grilled Amberjack w/cheese grits. Don't get down south very much but this is a great road side foodie stop. Nothing fancy or touristy. Staff was great, food was great. Will come back. ”
“ We vacation in Destin almost every year, and this was our first time eating at Stewby's. It was wonderful!! The prices and portions are great, and everyone left full! We loved the popcorn shrimp, shrimp sandwich, and all the sides! The eating area and bathrooms were extremely clean! The lady at the counter ready to take our order was extremely helpful and patient while we ordered for our large family! This will definitely be a place we come every time we come to Destin! ”
“ Didn't know what to expect just looking for a quick lunch but will definitely be back! Great flavor! Had the combo with Grilled Amberjack and fried Calamari. Asked if they did blackened and they added a little extra seasoning. Reasonable prices with fresh, reasonable portions. Even bought some grill seasoning for use at home! ”
“ Exactly what you've been looking for A Florida style seafood shanty that serves all local fare as well as it's so good the Lieutenant Dan would stand up and scream for more!! Stop thumbing through yelp and head on over there and be sure to get a piece of Shanty Pie. ”
“ Second time going and I am still less than blown away. The concept is casual seafood and they were steadily busy at lunchtime. Ordered grilled mahi mahi plate with beans, fries and hush puppies - all good but not memorable. The gumbo was tasty and shrimp plump I could have done with the rice on the side. The side salad was blasé. Banana pudding was a big let down with the artificial banana taste and mushy, dark banana slices. All in all, OK but I expected to be blown away based on other reviews. ”
“ Okay this is some of the best local seafood we've had yet. I got the grilled shrimp and amberjack fish with hush puppies, bbq beans, and collard greens and it was a 10/10. My husband who doesn't really eat fish LOVED the mahi! ”
