ok let me start by saying I would give you a 5 star but I had a bad experience.... on our way back from Kentucky, we stop through the driveway to order food.... I ordered catfish/shrimp dinner and shrimp/oyster dinner... also an order of onion rings.... the catfish and the onion rings wasn't in there.... we were just getting back from my nephew funeral... to tired to go back... I called back and she told me it was nothing they could do...... long story short, I didn't like how she didn't want to compensate me.... you all have the best restaurant and I'm so disappointed that I experienced this.... I really would like to talk to a manager about this, because this was not right... my number- 850-585-0652 Thank You! read more

The food was unexpectedly great. It's a small shanty for sure with a great wrap around enclosed porch for seating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is extremely clean considering we had just came in from a heavy rain[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The staff are very helpful for someone that was visiting for the first time. We had the grilled amberiack with coleslaw and their cucumber salad. The fried popcorn shrimp with baked beans, fried okra and hush puppies. Everything was seasoned nicely while being cooked just right. We will definitely be back. read more

Generous serving sizes, great services and very busy for the time we went (which means it's good)) it was a little on the spendier side. I get its seafood but even drink prices (and no refills). Best of the group's grubs were the grilled shrimp, hush puppies and cucumber salad. Would absolutely come back. read more

LOVE STEWBY'S!!! I am never disappointed when I go. Service is great and food is always amazing

Looking for a quick lunch on our way to Panama City Beach, we read great reviews for Stewby's and were glad we tried it! My husband and I both enjoyed the fried shrimp tacos, accompanied by excellent seasoned fries! Service was quick, even with plenty of customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interesting photos of the original Stewby's Seafood Shanty and local shrimp processing lined the walls and made it feel like a well-loved local spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back! read more

Stewby's is good seafood served promptly with a smile. The staff are friendly and can help you navigate the different options for first timers. I enjoyed the calamari and grilled shrimp platter and every bite was worth what I paid. My only regret was forgetting to take a picture of my plate . read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast friendly service, nicely decorated building and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the grilled shrimp entree and a cup of chowder and was not disappointed. Good flavor in the chowder and a mixture of rice that was great. Pricing was reasonable for the amount and quality. read more

I've gotta say that you cannot go wrong eating here unless you don't like seafood. I tried the Amberjack and it was amazing and I've never heard of it before. Best hush puppies I've ever eaten. Thanks to the young ladies that recommended the coleslaw and green beans. They too were delicious. The staff were sweet, kind and very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I thank them for that and the restaurant was clean and organized especially the restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, I wished that the company would consider having one in South Florida. read more

Stewby's Seafood Shanty - Grilled Amberjack diner - Seafood Near Me - Crestview, Florida

Overpriced, overcooked fried fish and very small portions! Want to save money for better food, Captain D's is better!

I was passing through the area and didn't have time to stop for a sit down meal. I called ahead to place a to go order that I could pick up and eat while in route to my destination. You can only pay-at-pickup if you're an established customer otherwise you have to pay by phone via credit card in advance. I planned to pay with cash, so I had to choose another food option. Too bad! read more

Stewbys never disappoints! Tastes great, portions large, and told me they had Apalachicola Bay oysters now!!!

I tried here for lunch due to a former employee which spoke nothing but good things. Okay, my beans were slamming until I had a couple hard. Other than that, I enjoyed my lunch. read more

Super cute small restaurant with great seafood prices. We all had the lunch shrimp baskets. While they only came with 5 shrimp, it was plenty of food for a lunch portion with a side and a hush puppy. Staff were super friendly and helpful when ordering. read more

Food was great, service was wonderful, and lovely ambience. Place was clean. When you come here, MAKE SURE TO GET THEIR FRIES. They are the best I've ever tasted and I can't wait to come back. read more

Stewby's put Crestview on the map. Before then, and the arrival of a couple other new restaurants we were in trouble here in Crestview with stewby's and a couple other places have helped out quite a bit lately. Such a good job. I have not had a chance to try any specials yet, I kind of wish they had some because some evenings I feel like dining and just like something a little different. My wife and I we actually share a colossal dinner. It's huge. It's got a super giant shrimp. It's enough to fill us up and it's got two sides, but everything is good and I'm very pleased that you guys have moved in here and I know quite a few people also think the same way. But anyway, thank you guys for your hard work and doing such a great job with the seafood to do seafood right you've got a treat it right and take care of it and you guys do. Thank you very much and your food is excellent. PS I forgot to mention coleslaw, killer potato salad, killer french fries killer everything on the menu is just killer, but you guys make everything and it really shows. If you haven't been there you're in for a great treat. You definitely cannot buy anything better than Stewby's down at the beach , it's not nearly as expensive. You won't spend $90 on a plate. Just try it out you'll like it and it's kind of a neat place to eat and not during the day but at night I find it a little warm but have a great day everybody does. read more

Best seafood in town! We had grouper, fried shrimp and grilled shrimp - fantastic. Ate it so fast forgot to take pictures. Great service and super happy wait staff. Thank you Beth and Ciele with a C! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Side note - observed the cleaning of the inside dining area as we were there close to closing time. I don't think I have even seen such a thorough job - even scrubbing under the bench seats. Great job![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think his name was Frank, but not 100% sure I am remembering correctly. read more

Gumbo alone would be worthy of all the culinary awards ever created. Omg it was delicious. Thank you for making it sharing it with the customers read more

Two Fried catfish dinners with potato salad, green beans, Cole slaw and baked beans were excellent. Fish was perfectly fried, sides were spot on and the iced tea was large with lots of ice. Prices are very reasonable $40 for 2 people! Four stars because: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fix the loud speaker so people in the back can hear their number called.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Front counter seemed chaotic but functional and staff is friendly. For a regional chain, you should run like clock work. I'll be back because the food is great!!! read more

I have been eating at Stewbys for years. I was so happy they built one in Crestview! I go at least once a week. Well today I finally decided to try their gumbo. I am hooked! That was the best Gumbo I have ever had! Their service is always great and the staff are friendly. They are my go to for seafood. It's fresh from the gulf. read more

The staff here is friendly and fast. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. I really love their popcorn shrimp and hush puppies!

Two times in the drive thru my order is incorrect. I tried to call and somehow get dropped. Don't fall for the gumbo at 3.99 and expect to get it apparently. Twice in a row, I guess you own me. Everything else was good thanks. read more

Fried oysters tasted like something else. I guess they hadn't changed there oil in awhile. May try again.

Hands down the best meal I had on our road trip. Whenever we go to Georgia or Florida, we usually take i10, but going to Georgia we took i20 all the way. This time we decided to take our usual route and I'm glad we did. We was on the way to Pensacola to see one of my high school friends, but before that we had to eat!!! Stewbys is right off the interstate. Pretty simple place. I got the mackerel dinner with grits and cucumber tomato salad. I loved every bit of it. The mackerel was seasoned and fried to perfection. The grits were perfect and the cucumber tomato salad was refreshing!! Banana pudding was delicious as well. read more

Stewby's Seafood Shanty - Mackerel - Seafood Near Me - Crestview, Florida

Food and service were both amazing Would highly recommend this establishment. I've been to two locations and not disappointed

My wife and I live about an hour or so north of here, we come down here to Crestview about twice a month so I can see a doctor about my injuries from my service in the Navy. We have tried different eating establishments and by far this is the best. For variety and flavors, this place has it all. My wife had a shrimp plate, she said it was the best she had eaten in a long time. I had the catfish plate and I agreed with my spouse, I am a southern boy and this catfish was without a doubt at the top of list for some of the best eating I have ever ate. read more

First off, if you are looking for fresh seafood prepared to order, this is your place. There are the usual choices of methods, fried, grilled or blackened (depending on what you order). I had fried grouper and it was excellent! People were super friendly. The show stealer for me were the hush puppies... they were AWESOME! I was on a work trip to the area and have mentioned it to my wife countless times about how good they are! Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The onion rings were not on a menu that I saw, but a plate of them came out while I was there and they looked amazing. Trying those next time I am in town. Overall, awesome experience. Will definitely be eating there in the way to future beach trips and every single time I am there for work. read more
