This is the first time I’ve visited the Fort Walton location. It’s very low frills, but the food was equally delicious to the one by the beach. The best part was there was a very short line when I usually have to wait quite a while at the … More busier location. We ended up getting grouper and crab claws, along with onion rings and okra. Everything was fresh and delicious. The grouper was mild and flaky, and the remolaude that came with it was delicious. This location even has a drive up window. It looks like you can just pull up and order and pick it up at the window, which is so convenient. One of the reasons we love this Pace is the prices are very reasonable for so near the beach.

Ft. Walton/Destin is a tourist trap. Most tourist trap don't have good food and this area is no exception, so it was nice to find STEWBY'S. The staff were very friendly and polite. They obviously liked working there because they … More displayed what appeared to be genuine affection in their interactions. The restaurant was spotless.
We tried the fried fish tacos, gumbo, fried Okra, and the fried shrimp dinner. The food was fresh and delicious. Portion size was great for the price. We definitely left there full and satisfied. I highly recommend this place! -
Loved this place, went drive through, so didn't see the inside. The food was the bomb. The shrimp tacos were the best I've ever had, period!! I'd never tried gumbo before, so I must say it was delicious, grilled shrimp was … More excellent as well. My family and I will definitely be back.

Great spot! I guess this is the epitome of "where the locals go." The fish is always fresh, they use their own seasoning (which you can buy) and it's very good. Sides are traditional to a southern menu. Good variety of menu, … More and generous portion sizes. Also, probably the best cup of gumbo in town! Highly recommend Stewby's. Place isn't huge so expect a wait if you arrive after 5 or so, but well worth it!

Stewby's is a fun, super-casual, "picnic table indoors" kind of place! So, the atmosphere is "mid-century fishing dock", which is functional and relaxed.
The food is very good. I had a blackened grouper, which … More was excellent, along with some greens, a side salad, and a cup of their gumbo. Which I found to be a bit watery but very flavorful.
Stewby's is an "order-at-the-window" kind of joint, but the staff were super friendly and liked to give it back when I joked around with them.
A fun, casual place with very good food, served quickly and with a smile! But don't expect fast food prices. My lunch (in the picture, plus a large sweet tea) was just over $25. A fair price for what I got.
Check out Steeby's on Racetrack in Fort Walton Beach, Florida! It's worth it. -
Fish tacos were SO great! Very flavorful. We loved the fried and the grilled for different reasons. Grilled were a little more moist and the fried had a great crunch without being greasy. Can’t go wrong with either. We also loved the Shanty … More Pie.

This place is awesome. It's very small but seems to stay very busy. Just sown the road from our air bnb, and we were in the mood for something quick and simple to eat before our activities for the day. I'm glad we stopped here. … More
I had the fish tacos with whatever the fish of the day was. They were amazing 👍 -
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.
