The service was quick but can take longer if they are extremely busy. Go early!!! A line forms and continues thru the dinner hour. There are two places side by side one serves all steamed seafood and the other spot serves fried, baked/broiled/sauteed. All equally delicious. You order at the counter, and pick up at the steaming place and they bring it to your table at the other place. The indoor seating is limited. Run, don't walk! Go early! BYOB if that's your pleasure. We went there twice in 5 days and I am a food snob. For some reason I was more interested in diving in than taking pictures. Enjoy! This was my second year, we stay at the Beal House Hotel across the street. That's another great story! And.... You are welcome

15/10 -- Truly Outstanding!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stewby's Steamer, and especially their manager, Sierra. My family had ordered around $200 worth of their absolutely delicious seafood, but unfortunately, my mom and brother were involved in a terrible car accident, and in the midst of everything that happened, all of the food was lost. I called Stewby's the next day and spoke with Sierra to explain what had happened. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, and understanding and immediately took care of us by giving us 20% off when we reordered. She absolutely did not have to do anything for us, which made her kindness mean that much more. It wasn't about the discount, it was about the way Sierra genuinely cared about what our family had just been through and went out of her way to do something kind for us during an incredibly difficult situation. That kind of customer service and compassion is rare, and it will not be forgotten. Sierra is absolutely outstanding, and Stewby's is incredibly lucky to have her running their establishment. Between the AMAZING seafood and having someone like Sierra taking care of their customers, they have earned lifelong customers in our family. Thank you again, Sierra, for showing our family such kindness when you absolutely didn't have to. 15/10 -- we appreciate you more than you know!

He was friendly from the moment we sat down until the moment we left, which feels like such a rare find in the service industry these days.

We went in a group of 7 people for brunch. The coffee served there is provided by Starbucks, so nothing special to say about the drinks. Our dishes were: - Skirt steak hash $18 (delicious, everything on this plate was good but the eggs were perfect) - Angus burger $16 (just a burger like any other) - Western Omelet $16 (tasty and simple) - Floribama Benedict $18 (tasty and well-portioned). - Beignets $9 (5 pieces and honestly you can't call these beignets, the dough is super heavy and greasy, more like a cheap donut) Our service in general was good, one of the waitresses was nicer than the other. A positive point is that they offer complimentary parking.

The blue crabs were good, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping to find. I'm already looking forward to coming back when they're even fatter and in peak season. The crawfish were excellent, and the shrimp? Absolutely delicious. What made the experience even better was the staff--warm, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. If you're craving a true seafood fix, especially if you know and love blue crabs, this is definitely a spot to check out. I'll be back.

The lump crab meat was barely detectable and the fish was overcooked. They try to make up for the size with a large portion of lumpy mashed potatoes.
