The flavor profiles were distinct with the ability to taste not only the creole trinity but all others too. We enjoyed red beans and rice, gumbo and the etouffe. They accept cash, CashApp and Venmo.

My husband has been in the area for several weeks and the rest of us came to visit this week. We came to Stewby's for dinner on our first night. Be aware - it gets busy! He was ready for that and we got there just before 5:00 and there was a short line, but tables were available. Shortly after 5:00 hit, so did the line and by the time we left it had wrapped around the front of the building. Between the four of us we ordered fried mahi mahi, grilled grouper and calamari. All were very good, though I don't think I'd get the calamari again (it's my son's favorite, so we had to try it). Each meal comes with 2 sides and hush puppies. I also ordered a "side" of okra, something we don't get at home very often, and it was a huge portion. They were willing to mix the tea and sweet tea for a half and half for me - I always do this but somehow my husband of 20 years has never realized it before now and now it's his go-to order as well.

They have a clean restroom and a good amount of parking. My fiancé asked the woman at the counter what beer she recommended and with an attitude she loudly proclaimed "I don't know, I don't drink" and then just stared at us with a blank expression, which found to be kind of an odd answer considering your whole job is to sell beer and tacos, but ok. Over all it's a nice local spot. That one girl at the front may want to look into a different career, but that's just my opinion.

The food came pretty fast, even though we ordered for seven different people. I only had a chicken taco and a fish taco. The chicken was good but I couldn't take more than one bite of the fish. It was just not good...at all. Nothing about it was appetizing. I also tacked on an order of churros. You get four with a little ramekin of icing. They were a little overcooked but the cinnamony icing was really good. After ordering, we parked in the lot and the children sat at one of the outdoor tables to eat.

I went here hoping for the crab stuffed grouper. Evidently two weeks ago, they changed their menu…read moreand have replaced all grouper with snapper. We ordered anyway seeing as though it still seemed like it could be quite delicious. I honestly couldn't have been more disappointed. The crab was a cheap and mushy crab cake with way too much breading and peppers. The fish still had the skin on and was over cooked and dry. I took one bite and immediately knew that I would not be able to eat it. Especially for $30. The veggies were overcooked as well and the mashed potatoes seemed edible except for the fact that there were some sautéed onions swimming in butter off to the side of them. See picture for reference. I assure you that it looks NOTHING like the picture advertising this specific dish. The service was decent and we didn't end up paying for the fish. The manager never came to our table to express his apologies but we were offered anything on the menu at no cost to us. We declined, paid the bill, and found food elsewhere.

The friendly woman at the counter took her time to explain the dry rubs and answered other questions we had about the menu. The food came out quickly, which surprised me since they were quite busy with the fairly long line at the drive thru. Everything was hot and freshly made. The lemon pepper chicken strips were far superior to Wing Stop and other places that have rubs. I loved the seasoning on their French fries. Zaxby's chicken sandwich was super crunchy. I love Popeyes chicken sandwiches, but Zaxby's is just as good. Next time, I'll have to try their spicy chicken sandwich to see how it compares to Popeyes. A worker walked around cleaning tables after guests left and asked patrons how they were enjoying their food. I think I found my favorite fast food restaurant in town. I don't like most fast food places, so the next time I travel, I know Zaxby's will be a place I'd stop. I highly recommend this Zaxby's if you're looking for a good fast food restaurant!

One of the big hints is that your shoes stick to the floor in some places but slip in other places. It's definitely not clean. On the plus side, the service is good.
