STM Seafood

Waited 35 minutes for my food. Conch fritters barely had any conch in it. Shrimp and grits wasn’t the best I’ve had. I would have asked for a refund while waiting but they don’t don’t give refunds

From some of the previous reviews of STM, I was a little worried: those reviews by other customers suggested the business didn’t quite have things all the way together, but if that was once the case, they’ve certainly fixed any issues now overall. What I found was a humble but clean and well-​lit restaurant and very, very, outgoing and friendly staff including the owner who is just the sweetest person you could imagine and very proud of her business – as she should be, given its quality. When I was there they did have a problem with their soda machine so there was no soda but otherwise everything was in working order and everything on the menu appear to be in stock.
I had the garlic blue crabs and was very impressed by both the portions served and their quality. I used to live in Savannah, Georgia and would often get garlic crabs at two places near my house which was in a traditionally African-​American neighborhood and I think those two seafood sellers were very authentic and find STM to be on par with them, possibly exceeding them in some aspects on the garlic crabs. The garlic crabs here come with extra sauce for dipping plus corn on the cob and potatoes. They are pretty messy but very, very, good. I also had one of the house lemonades, green in color and called «the monster» though I don’t know if it’s a special for Halloween or not (since it’s currently October); it was a bit too sweet for my liking but surely would be a hit with a lot of kids I bet.
STM has other seafood and some non-​seafood soul food offerings, but garlic blue crabs long have been a real staple of low-​country and Florida soul food and should be tried at least once and I can think of no better place to try them than here.

This place is horrible and not clean at all.
Lady was very in friendly and made a racial slur in front of me like that’s cool to say
