Top 49 things to do and attractions in Mobile

Informative place! Lots of decorations, lots of history, all very interesting. Started off with a video that is very dated but interesting. We then started off with a tour guide but he was a little too long-winded for the kids so we headed off to explore on our own. Still learned tons! Never know that Madi gras stared in Mobile in the US and they have “royalty” still to this day! Loved all the costumes they had to display. Overall, the price wasn’t too bad for what you got to see and learn. Not at all busy, likely due to the time of year.

This museum recently reopened last week after renovations. There are ticket discounts depending on your affiliation: military, AAA, student, etc. You enter the museum through the gift shop. It’s a cool, educational experience that starts with a short video in the theater section. After that short film about carnival is a self-guided walk-through to learn about carnival’s history and see some exquisite costume replicas. You can learn about each exhibit through the QR code menu. Card and cash are accepted here. There’s wifi available there as well. I visited last Saturday while I was in Mobile. It’s a chill, quiet and nice spot to visit. Lots of colorful picture-worthy rooms.

The kind of museum that knows how to party! Dating back an unfathomable number of years, this museum truly captures the origins of Mardi Gras in the Americas. Indeed, a festival, as so many surrounded or formed through roots of religion, it’s wonderful to see the factual history and wonder at the mystical together! Well done! Let the good Time roll!

An interesting museum displaying the history of Carnival and Mardi Gras. Incredible costumes on display. It is a self guided tour thru an app on your phone accessible by wifi.

Really underrated. Fab showcases. Save $ with AAA card. Don't miss. Go for lunch at Blind Mule up the street and get red beans and rice

The museum was beautiful and very informative of the city’s history of Mardi Gras. The exhibits are stunning and definitely worth experiencing. However, our tour guide, Mr.Roberts, was rude and dismissive towards our group. He made my visit less than pleasurable, and is the sole reason for the lower star rating.

The museum is mid amusing, the pics I post are pretty much a summary of what you will see. The tour guide, however, is horrendously rude. He was extremely rude to tourist with limited time wanting the self guided tour. We won't be back or recommend. I give it 3 out of 10.

Battleship USS Alabama is a pretty immersive experience! The walk through three different levels of the inards of the ship lead guests through a maze of galleys, rooms, and halls that make it not too difficult to imagine a small picture of what it must have been like traveling and serving inside the ship. Amazing sacrifice and bravery of our American servicemen and women! There are plenty of things to read and learn about the active time the battleship was used to defend our country, and how many things that were brought on-board to make quarters more livable for our military, from post office, dentist and doctor office, barber, solitary confinement, pantry and kitchen w/ extensive services for food, laundry, a little recreation, and just how much of an adjustment it must have been to live in such close quarters! A good deal of sleeping being done in hanging hammocks with only officers having small private rooms with beds. Of course there are written historical accounts, preserved artifacts, plenty of artillery shells, short videos of missions, informative write-ups about nearly every room in every section of this battleship! A truly interesting experience and one note is the heavy scent of oil-based paint that permeates the interior of the whole ship, adding to the experience. Some tight hallways and steep stairways, and in some areas, it's important to keep track of where you are and stay on the colored/painted trail. So much to see inside AND outside the Battleship USS Alabama! If you care to read some of the signs and historical accounts, it'd be easy to spend 2 or more hours exploring this ship alone, not to mention all the planes, jets, cars and other vehicles and things inside the grounds of the aircraft hangar and property. Adults pay $18 to see everything on property, including the battleship and submarine, and it's well worth it. Restrooms are inside the hangar museum, and there's a cafe on property for refreshments/meals, if you need. We visited in May before most children were out of school and it was not crowded. Very educational, historical, and enjoyable visit!

This is an awesome museum ship. Immaculately maintained and the self guided tours are very well organized. There are living history demonstrations as well and volunteers are available to answer questions. It was an incredible feeling to look at those massive guns and know that those weapons actually defended freedom in some desperate times. I highly recommend this place.

This was awesome! I had no idea before visiting that this was in a few movies. I visited when it was raining and it gave it a bigger wow effect. It was pretty cool to see the different areas. I would love to go back. I definitely will. The museum before going on the ship is worth seeing with a bunch of history. It is very well out together and I believe the kids I saw there were equally as fascinated.

What an awesome display of USA firepower and ingenuity. The displays of tanks, and aircraft, along with the the submarine are impressive,but the show stealeris definitely the "Big A" herself. The USS Alabama was amazing! My son and I went on the self guided tour, and were not disappointed in the slightest. Starting on the Main deck,you soon make your way down into the boat. It takes you through the various and volumous areas below deck. From the machine shops, to galleys, the hospital, marines quarters, the brig, and even inside the massive, 4 story high, triple 16" gun turrets. Such an amazing walk through such an important ship in our country's history. Definetly not handicap friendly as there is a lot of climbing and descending multiple steep ladders. So totally worth the 15 dollar admission, if only to look at the battleship, and then see everything else as well is a real bonus. In order to maximize your ability yo see it all, come early when they open, and plan to stay all day. They have a niceluttle Cafe where you can break mid-day to rest and refuel so you can see it all.

This was so interesting! To get the full experience, you need to be able to climb up and down many, many very steep ladder-stairs. I am pain disabled and have BPV (vertigo), but I just went slowly with my husband behind me. I also didn't climb into many of the tight spaces that are available to explore. There are handicapped accessible areas to explore, but it's a fraction of the ship. It is very easy to get disoriented. Just follow the tour color and number tags. There are volunteers in a few places to help enrich the experience with fantastic stories and information. The gentlemen we met were Naval Veterans. Make sure that you have an entire day. We didn't arrive until 1 PM and were almost the last folks off at 5 PM. We didn't get to explore the submarine or planes/copters. We just didn't allow enough time. For babies/toddlers, this isn't going to interest them and there are quite a few areas that are not safe for small children. I'd say 6-8 and up, depending on interest and level of energy.

Unfortunately we couldn't find the submarine. Turns out this little lane must have went back to it but there was a golf cart camped sideways and it the whole time so we assumed back there was just maintenance. Everything else was pretty cool. My husband didn't want to go without me and I can't climb ladders or steps etc but just going around and seeing everything driving around and looking was very very interesting. My husband was very happy with the visit. What I was aggravated with but was not the fault of the park....two different pickups decided to park directly almost against what looked like well it was a reconnaissance plane all black super cool I'll post pictures but was really aggravated somebody thought that the half empty parking lot wasn't good enough they needed to park in front of the most interesting plane there.

I love this place, as a boy scout and being allowed to sleep in the ship and I have done it for years, it is the best thing for a Navy fan to do! It's very kid friendly and also you can get a little losted around the ship but! It's nice to see all the parts

We have come to this museum several times now for photoshoots and love it! The checkered floor to the staircase are stunning. Staff is also super sweet and great with communication. If you're wanting photos done and want a different vibe, highly recommend coming here!

This is now one of my favorite museums and I would love to go back to visit soon. I was in town nearby for work and a solo vacation. I visited on a weekday at non-peak hours, so it was quiet which made for an enjoyable exploration. I learned quite about about Mobile and had no idea of its history or significance regarding the formation of the country. I was so pleasantly surprised to see an area dedicated to the Clotilda ship because it led to Africatown in Mobile. I think that section needs to be expanded into a larger exhibit for guests to learn more about its significance. I appreciate that some exhibits are interactive and engaging to help visitors connect with the history. The sound effects and music were a nice touch to transport you back in time for the horse carriage exhibit. I wish the gift shop were bigger with a larger selection, given the museum's size and it being connected to the welcome center. I'd love to support by purchasing merchandise unique to the area and reflective of a guest's experience of touring the museum. The exterior of the museum has a striking design and it's connected to the Mobile Welcome Center, which is perfect for those visiting or new the the city. You can go right next door and learn about the city's history. It's also the meetup for a trolley tour of the city. Unfortunately, on the day I visited, the museum was closing 30 minutes early in preparation for a law enforcement parade happening downtown. So I missed seeing some exhibits. I realize, I need a full day to enjoy this two-level museum because I spent an hour on just half of one floor immersed in the exhibits. I recommend about 3-4 hours to fully explore all the exhibits. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this museum. I'm glad I got to explore some of it during my trip. Learn something new and see Mobile in a new light.

We bought a 1 day Mobile multiattraction pass and went here with plans to see just the fort. The museum was excellent. I wish we had planned more time here. The fort is included in the ticket. The museum is very well arranged. Easy to understand complex historical perspectives. The ship building area was very, very well done.

This museum was pretty cool. My 4 boys enjoyed their time there. They have a discovery room on the second floor. Our admission was free because we are military. They also offer free admission to people with EBT benefits.

Lots of interesting things to see here. The miniature houses were amazing. Also the history of mobile from early settlements through the fights between the British, Spanish, French, and Indians for the territory was interesting. They even threw in some Mardi Gras!

We visited this museum on a rainy Sunday. It was a pleasurable visit, and we learned quite a bit about Mobile's history, including its role as the first permanent settlement on the Gulf Coast, and the first to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Quite spot to get away and cool off. The exhibits were local and very informative. It was not crowded and some were interactive which was fun.

They’ve got parking space for days, so you won’t be circling around sweating bullets. The ticket prices ain’t too bad either, especially if you’re military—props to them for recognizing our service folks. $12 for a regular adult ticket, $8 if you’re military. Not gonna break the bank, but it does set the tone: you’re expecting to get your money’s worth. Now, the art itself? Some of it’s downright stunning, and I’m not saying that lightly. Local artists are repped well, which is always a plus. And the kids’ section? Y’all, it’s like they sprinkled magic in there. If you’ve got little ones, they’ll be in heaven—touching, building, playing, learning. Heck, even grown folks might find themselves drawn to the giant Legos and couches. I saw folks who didn’t have kids hanging out there like they were 10 again. So yeah, points for creativity and making art fun. But here’s the thing: the museum as a whole feels like it’s trying to be a big deal, but it ain’t quite there yet. Sure, it’s got three floors, and some of that art has history going back a thousand years, but the vibe is inconsistent. Some collections look like they belong in a world-class museum, while others feel more like a college art class final project. And don’t even get me started on the layout—it’s confusing. Why do I gotta go to the gift shop just to grab a ticket? Feels like they’re funneling you straight into a money trap before you even get to the good stuff. For a city like Mobile, with under 200,000 people, the museum’s got potential. It’s a solid attempt at being a cultural hub, but it falls short in execution. They’ve got the bones for something great—local talent, interactive exhibits, and a space that’s peaceful in parts. But they need to tighten up the experience. Be consistent, clean the place up, and for goodness’ sake, keep your doors open as advertised.

This has been one of our favorite art museums so far. The fantastical forest was our favorite to see.

I visited the Mobile Museum of Art recently along with my friend. The place is quite easy to locate and has ample space for parking. We visited on the weekend but still we didn't find any rush. They do have military based tickets as my friend used that facility as she is part of the services. I bought a regular adult ticket. Regular adult tickets are 12 dollars and military personnel tickets are 8 dollars. We enjoyed our time here a lot. A few of the art pieces were really amazing and admirable. A lot of local artists paintings are for sale as well. My favorite part of the museum is the Kid's section. If you guys are visiting with kids this place is a perfect choice. Lots of creative stuff to do for kids. My friend also loved that section a lot. The people in the museum were also really helpful in explaining to us a few of the paintings and the artists behind it. Special shout out to Donna. She really ensured we understood the paintings that were there in her section. Overall we had a really artistic time here and I would recommend this museum to seekers of all sorts.

My first time visiting. Everyone was very helpful and kind. They have a variety of exhibits from Surrealisim to Chinese pottery and European Realism and Modern Abstract, as well as an area to let kids get out some energy and play, touch and create as well as 2 or 3 other areas for children to experience so I would definitely say it is very kid friendly. There is also a garden and park area outside with a boardwalk and trail. I saw several people using the park to exercise and enjoy being out in the wonderful weather we had today. The museum itself is also beautiful in the rotunda area where you walk in and has a gift shop where you can buy art that's made by a lot of the local artists as well.

We had a great time! Highly recommend this museum. Beautiful art, some pieces were 1,000 years old. A fun area for kids. Affordable ticket prices. Friendly staff.

Great family fun day! We enjoyed all of the exhibits very much!

If you’re in or traveling through the Mobile, AL area and looking for a thoughtful, well‑curated art experience, the Mobile Museum of Art is a strong choice. It’s especially appealing if you appreciate art + outdoor space + regional culture all in one stop. Whether you pop in for an hour or spend a leisurely afternoon, you’re likely to come away having seen something fresh and meaningful.

Had a really nice evening at Bourbon on the Bay...met some really nice people that enjoy some of the same things I enjoy,sampled some nice bourbon/whiskey a couple of which were exceptionally smooth, this was a nice event ,perfect way to cap off a Sunday evening 👍🏾

My friend and I went on a weekday. It was the middle of the day on June day. There is a cover charge but it's not too bad. There are elevators and ramps for handicapped or people with difficulty climbing stairs. There are 4 floors with many displays and hands on exhibits. I'm 68 years and I enjoyed the museum very much. There is a lot to see for old and young alike. I may go back but probably on a day that's cooler. It got warmer as we went higher but it was still bearable on a hot summer day. If you are looking for a family oriented museum this would be the pace to go. Any complaints I have are minor. It is on the waterfront and hard to get to. There is a restaurant on the bottom floor that is little high on the prices. The admission prices for a family can be high depending on how many are with the family. There were a few exhibits not working or under construction

Very cool museum. My 4 kids, who range from 1 to 7, had a lot of fun. I wish I would have known they offered a military discount.

Beautifully maintained,clean, informative and air conditioned. Wheelchair accessible. They even have a limited number of wheelchairs available for use at no fee! Fun interactive displays and special children exhibits. Very pleasant 2 hours and the staff was great!

A great stop off I-10 in the port city of Mobile, Alabama is the GulfQuest National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico. This ship-shaped museum is filled with both low and high tech interactive exhibits. Kids and adults are sure to enjoy learning about ship navigation, cargo shipping, and maritime travel. There are five decks of displays, interactives, and lookouts. It offers a good mix of information, stories, and hands-on learning to explore the world and history of ships. We especially loved learning about different signal flags, knot tying, and simulated driving of different vessels. I f you’re passing through Mobile, this is a great stop!

This is such a wonderful place to go. It has interactive activities for the kids. Beautiful views and the event I went to was very informative. I would love to see them bring something in on dinosaurs, sharks, or even the holocaust. There is a lot of space that could be utilized and make so much more fun. Just call ahead and make sure there are no field trips attending that day. That is the only thing that makes it hard for individuals to enjoy. It is a wonderful opportunity for the kiddos from school, and they need to see it, but individuals may have a harder time getting to see anything when the schools are there.

Easy to get to. Great parking. Ramps and elevators to reach the levels. Had a great variety of interactive stations. Sadly, several were not working. The ones that were working were a lot of fun. They have a great children's area. The docents were friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a volunteer docent, named Fred, who was a true pleasure to talk with. We actually stayed here all day and enjoyed our time. Their Coast Guard art exhibit was well put together.

Beautiful place. We went to Mass here when we were visiting Mobile, AL. Well worth making a stop to Praise our Lord, Jesus Christ.

What a beautiful surprise. We were able to attend Saturday evening mass while passing through Mobile. What an amazing experience.

It’s the oldest Roman Catholic parish on the Gulf Coast.. established in 1703, just two years after Mobile was founded. A very beautiful church!

Beautiful cathedral in nice part of downtown mobile. Very walkable.

I loved attending the service here. The message was very heartfelt and meeting people here was great to see so many people filled with the Holy Spirit. This is the oldest parish and religious center in the whole area. The Cathedral has been preserved extremely well. I would love to come back here on a Sunday.

The kind of church that gives you that old world feel with a new world validity.

Beautiful, peaceful and also historical cathedral. I enjoyed seeing the stained glass windows that were custom made in Germany. A small garden around the Cathedral is worth walking around, well maintained and serene.

Not bad Watch out though! Fast traffic!

It's always a nice time on dauphin st. Doesn't matter the time or day, whatever you're looking for, you'll most likely find it !!

Nice beauty city centrum, good pubs, good restaurants and perfect for a walking!😎

We were really let down here. Really not much to see.

Excellent food and service. Variety of lunch meat and vegetables. I had grilled pork chop, delicious squash casserole, and peas. Pickled shrimp appetizer was delicious.

I Love the Downtown area, great food restaurants, bars,boutique, fun nightlife..

Beautiful historical district, modern shops!!!

So cute. They even had actors in different rooms. We popped over after visiting the Mobile History Museum. It was free admission after the visit to the History Museum. They also offer free admissions to Military & EBT holders. We got free admission because my husband is Coast Guard.

Fun place to explore we got to climb on top of the fort and explore the inside as well. We were excited to see that they had a time capsule that is due to be open July 4 2026. Probably gonna come back for that. Never experienced anything like that before.

This was a short but good historical experience and self guided tour.

Quick walk thru interesting facts French and Native American influences on each other and the areas. characters dressed in period clothing telling stories as well. Nice way to spend a Sunday getting the kids out of the house.

Fort Conde in Mobile is a historic and cultural landmark that offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the city’s colonial past. Located in the heart of downtown, this reconstructed 18th-century French fort provides both educational and immersive experiences for history enthusiasts, families, and tourists alike. The site is compact but thoughtfully designed, with informative displays, period architecture, and interpretive panels that detail Mobile’s early history, military life, and French colonial influence.

I would personally not pay for this because this is not the original fort. But the first Sunday of every month it is free to visit so take advantage of that. I love historic forts because of the actual bricks and mortar used. I like to touch historic forts and imagine what the soldiers experienced but the original one was destroyed here. A few bricks at the park next door are still there.

Love visiting Fort Conde. It's fun walking along the rampart and seeing the history showcasing what life was like living in the fort. They also have different events throughout the year showing what life was like during the colonial era!

✨🙏 definitely come here for a short photo stop.. the Richard DAR House is one of the most beautiful and charming historic homes in Mobile, Alabama. It was built in 1860 by Captain Charles G. Richards. It has a beautiful Italianate-style facade and is typical for the Mobile of the 19th century.

We loved this museum!! Sheila and Mimi were so welcoming and helpful. They know all the great stories about this place. I am so grateful to the DAR for supporting this magnificent slice of history in Mobile! Loved it and so did my family!!!

I enjoyed the tour very much. Sheila had a vast amount of knowledge about the property and it was beautiful inside and out. Her knowledge and the house itself are well worth the price of admission. You will get to see beautiful furniture, chandeliers, and items that show how Americans used to live.

The tour isn't very long but it is super interesting! And there's a little gift shop at the end. We loved learning all the history of this house and the family, and some of the furniture in the house.

I went on a tour that stopped here. I did not go inside.

So fun! The tour was very interesting, so glad I visited! Very much worth it!

Best tour in Mobile! The tour guide was wonderful! She took her time and even allowed questions. She was very informative!

So many things to do and see! Beautiful plants and grounds. Now I have so many ideas for my garden at home - especially the herb garden with different uses (medicinal, fragrance, culinary) in different containers, I loved that. The staff are very friendly and treat you like family. Dogs allowed too!

We had a great time! Unfortunately most of the floral plants we're not in bloom because of the season. My favorite part was the koi fish bridge.

I attended a presentation from a visiting author and gardener and found it delightful and informative. Their classroom is comfortable and the registration includes the ability to walk in. This also came with a nice lunch in a gift shop that is infused with beauty and charming things to purchase. The garden is wonderful to walk anytime of the year and if you enjoy gardening, you will want to attend their plants sales. The staff attending those sales are very helpful. A wonderful experience!

We had a very pleasant visit. We went on a spring day and enjoyed a walk around. We learned a lot about different types of Japanese Maple trees. Aromi Azalea Garden was beautiful. The garden is not very big, so you can spend a couple hours or whole day depending on what you want. There is no restaurant there. I believe you might be able to order lunch a couple days a week but other than that you’re on your own. They have a cute gift shop with art work from local artists. The worker we interacted with was very pleasant. Great place to visit with children. Dogs are allowed on a leash.

We stopped by to see the waterfall and the koi fish and well I don't know where to begin,, you enter a gate then you have to go to the souvenir / admission shop pay to enter the garden / woods. I was not impressed because there's really nothing to see but woods, trees, and forestry!!!! I understand it suppose to be a Garden, but it's really nothing to see, NO BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS,NO BEAUTIFUL SCENERY just overgrown bushes, trees, and trails!!! You can get off track easily cause there is NO signs to point you in the right direction ,,,,BUT the biggest disappointment was the Waterfall,it was so small but the koi fish in the small little pond was beautiful, well my final review is it should be FREE! Or maybe we went the wrong time of year April 2024

As members of the Corpus Christi Botanical Garden we have reciprocal privileges at many other botanical Gardens nationally. Some could argue a five-star rating would be generous but a garden that does many things should perhaps be very well regarded as a local treasure. We enjoyed our 1 hour morning visit on a very warm day to tour the numerous attractions of this well-maintained facility. Individually taken Mini of Gardens settings may not be up to a five-star rating. Taken on the hole ambitious effort on so many topics it was very enjoyable. I may have given them an extra star for the Shaded parking.

Gorgeous, tranquil space. Well thought trails featuring local and exotic plants and trees. Great gift store full of local arts and crafts.

A hidden gem with a rich history! Its Mobile’s oldest house, dating back to 1822. It was originally the city’s first official courthouse and jail before becoming a private residence.

I have been trying to do more things in Mobile and decided to come visit. Reasonable tour price, very friendly tour guides. I like how there are sections representing each of the different owners of the area, and the spot where the hole is cut in the floor to see the original jail flooring. I would recommend for anyone in the area.

We had a three day trip to Mississippi and Alabama. This was the best part of the weekend. We bought a 1 day Mobile attractions pass and used it for the aquarium, fort, museum, and here. The ladies were very knowledgeable. The details in decor were very well researched. Some really special pieces. Gives a good foundation for Mobile's history.

The Condé-Charlotte Museum is a beautiful home and collection of period pieces. The host are some of the most gracious folks you will find anywhere and they give a great tour. This home was originally built as a jail and within the grounds of the old fort that had been demolished. Purchased by Mr. Kirkbride, the property was remodeled and repurposed as his home.

The tour guides were very knowledgeable and made our tour fun! I loved learning all the history of this place! We went on a Saturday morning about noon, the tour does take at least an hour but we ended up having to leave before it was totally finished. They were so nice about it though and told us as many facts as they could before we left.

My wife and I enjoyed our visit here. There is a wonderful history to this house.

Easily accessible from the Main Road, street parking and public lots are nearby. The Museum was super clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Restrooms were available and were clean. If you like Museums and are a fan of History you will absolutely love this museum and you won't be disappointed. Besides all the Historical Artifacts, which are excellent, it like a walk through time not only of Mobile, but Alabama and the United States. Very educational and it pulls no punches with it exhibits. They did it the right way. Plan to spend some time there to take it all in. In the area don't pass it up. *The Fort is across the street and the Carnival Museum is a few blocks away and are also worth a Visit*

My husband and I tried Wintzells Oyster House recently and both liked it. We ordered the oyster sampler and the shrimp sampler. He loved his oysters. My shrimp sampler was pretty good but most of them were overcooked. Service was great and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Parking wasn't bad since they have a dedicated parking lot across the street. Bring a jacket because they keep the restaurant cold!

Tried it based on reviews and liked it. We had grilled oysters and the broiled platter. Oysters were small ( reportedly because of this time of year which we can live with but they were slightly overcooked and one oyster was only bread which they offered to fix but we declined as we were getting ready to leave. We really enjoyed the meal and almost perfect. Yes we would try it again.

The chargrilled oysters are a must when eating here! I also recommend the red snapper,hands down one of the best fish I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back!

We came in during day busy time of the evening. So we sad at the bar waiting for a seat . Cavarius, the cook , noticed we were sitting there and asked if he could do anything to serve us. So he took care of our air if you need and we were able to order an entree as well as a food meal and had a wonderful time sitting there enjoying his service! Awesome place can't wait to come back!

We are from NOLA, this restaurant way far better than any from there! Go see Ms.Pinky! The employee of the year for the state of Alabama! She the best!! We had the best time! We’ll be back!!! 💕

Our visit to Wintzell’s Oyster House was outstanding. The food was excellent, the oysters were plentiful and fresh, the beer was cold, and the prices were very reasonable. The service, however, was what truly set the experience apart. A special thank-you to Jay #1, who went above and beyond. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made our family of five feel welcome. His professionalism and hospitality made the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, Wintzell’s delivered a great dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend, and we will absolutely be back.

We absolutely love this place and well worth the 3 1/2 hour drive!! Casandra is one amazing waitress who’s beyond exceptional l!! She’s a natural when it comes to serving others in the restaurant industry! Her kindness shines throughout. She waited on us hand and foot tending to our every need. She has a kind and loving heart. Everyone was so wonderful to us at this restaurant. Cassandra stood out more than ever as she is all about her customers!! Thank you for this wonderful dining experience you gave my husband and I!

A small but very beautiful park. The facilities (restrooms, showers, laundry) are well kept, the bathrooms being especially clean. They are currently adding new buildings and upgrading the park quite a bit. In addition to the well kept older wash buildings, there is a brand new wash house with each room having toilets, changing table, and shower. They have a brand new loop with paved, level sites; however, there is no shade in the new loop as all the trees were taken out to accommodate the new sites. Hopefully part of the long term plan is to put some trees in that area, as it can get extremely hot and the wind off the bay makes it hard to keep an awning or canopy in place. We struggled a little bit with the water pressure at our full hook-up RV site. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the boardwalk is perfect to catch a sunset. The boat launch is easily accessible to all sites. There is also a fishing pier, which we didn’t utilize but is also conveniently located within the park. The USS Alabama Memorial Park is a 10 minute drive from here, which was part of the reason we booked here to begin with. It’s also got groceries and restaurants nearby.

Came here for homecoming pictures. Absolutely gorgeous view and beautiful sunset. There were a few grasshoppers on the trail part. The park is well-maintained and has a grass pathway that leads to a pier overlooking the bay and causeway. It's really breathtaking.

For our girls trip, we found this park to tent camp while visiting the Mushroom Festival in Fairhope. We stayed at campsite 33, which is just steps from the water and has a little bench under a tree to sit on to enjoy the view of the Bay. There are water and electric at each site. The people here are so friendly and the facilities are clean. There is a coin laundry area, a kayak drop-in & rental, and a dock to walk out on to fish or just enjoy the view! Not every site has tree coverage so make sure if you want to have a couple of trees near you to just look up YouTube reviews that visit each site ... this is what helped me pick site 33 because I wanted to be near the water and have trees around us. We would definitely stay here again!!

Decided to stay one night while enroute to St. George Island. Park is very clean, sites are nice size, very level. We enjoyed a stroll on the boardwalk and saw an alligator eating its dinner. Showers/restrooms are clean. Each site has picnic table and grill, with full hook ups.

Great stop for a couple of hours - parked in a small shaded lot by the boardwalk. nice walk over the marsh - birds, turtles. saw lots of signs warning about gators but saw no gators. $3 per person for a day pass and they let us fill up our water tank at an open RV site. thank - you!!

Love it. Always nice people and clean/pretty park. Wish they had a second entrance lane for returning guest to enter without having to wait in line behind the cars checking in, but not a big deal. Also we typically just need to stay one night and they may require two nights during some times. Still 5 star place!

This state park is a great place for camping in a tent, or an RV. It offers excellent views of the water, and the majority of the lots have wide spacing between them. There are 2 bathhouses on site that are centrally located to the lots if needed. There is also a dock that is near the entrance offering an opportunity to fish and walk over the water. There is a boat slip that would be great for small boats and canoes and kayaks as well. I took one star away for this review due to a safety issue that seems like it could be very dangerous to those checking in after hours. There is an entrance gate to the park that is closed after hours at night. The issue with the gate is that it is located extremely close to the highway, so if it is closed and you are pulling up to the gate to enter in a passcode, your trailer will be sticking out into the highway while you wait for the gate to open. This is a huge concern of mine as it has the potential to cause a deadly accident at night for those checking in late. If the entrance gate were moved back allowing traffic to pull all the way into the entrance and not stick out into the highway it would be better and safer.

Beautiful old home, tour is a hour long, but as mentioned in other reviews, photography inside is not allowed, and preference is given to anything wedding related over your tour.

Fantastic tour by Mary Kay Beautiful grounds (with trees over 300 years old!) and an even more beautiful home. Highly recommend!!

Truly amazing place you must visit. Great tour guide sharing lots of interesting details on the place. All rooms have original furniture or things like silverware mixed with decorative items from more recent years. Highly recommended!

Bragg-Mitchell Mansion hosted me for a presentation through the Alabama Humanities Alliance! I had such a terrific experience! Paige was wonderful and helpful for setting up and executing this event. The crowd of about 30-40 people were fantastic. The room in which I spoke was perfect for the performance. And of course, the mansion is absolutely stunning! Hope they'll invite me back!

Great tour with lots of info on the house and its former owners. The house is available for weddings and receptions and other events. The grounds are well maintained as is the house itself. The tours start only at the top of the hour so plan accordingly and don't be late.

The home is very elegant and the young lady who gives the tours is very pleasant. However they do not allow photos (After of course I had taken a few) I was informed. I believe the admission price was $10 a person. They do have wheel Chair accessibility And an elevator so you needn't have to climb the stairs if unable. However if you are unable to climb the stairs you won't be able to see the pictures they have in the vestibule that shows the home prior to having an add on To the porch. Extremely beautiful and most everything in the house is original Except for one bedroom and They will tell you about that. There is a lot more than this to see, if you like what I've shown you it's a must see !!

Our tour guide was great. You can tell she loves her job. She told us a great many interesting details. Beautiful venue.

Interesting and eclectic collection with thought provoking pieces. Some interesting social statements. Didn't agree with some, but they were well presented and showed the artists' intense feelings on the subject matter. And being of a libertarian bent, I appreciated the visual statement of the point of view. There is some nudity in the adult section; however it is not gratuitous. Those familiar the nudity with more classical art will be comfortable. Typical of contemporary art, there was a fair variety of media used. Got a chance to speak with the executive director. A very interesting woman. Admission is a donation in the amount you choose. Worth a side trip if you are downtown. And take a few minutes to enjoy the Moblobz mural on the building exterior. A fun and fanciful work.

It's a shame the gallery wasn't able to keep their doors open. This was a great art space and venue before new management took over.

Visited on 07/02/21 and really enjoyed the exhibits, especially the Distance exhibit which was interactive. This museum is located in downtown and we had a great day exploring the museum and then shopping and eating downtown. I look forward to visiting again in five years or so, this downtown area has lots of potential.

What a gem in the heart of downtown Mobile! Really great art space and community oriented events hosted here. Will come back!

The Alabama Contemporary Art Center Is a big place fully of expositions and cultural activities. Check their calendar there are a lot of options, and is open from 11am to 5 pm.

This place is donation based. This was the exhibit that was there when we went.

Great place to see art! Admission is free every Friday!

Wonderful tour in the historic district of Mobile. A well preserved home and a great historian to take you back in time. Tours last about and hour. Keith is very knowledgable about Oakleigh House and its history. Great thing to do in these hot days of summer.

Excellent place to visit and get a little into history. The property is stunning and the tour is worth it. The guides have pretty good knowledge about the place itself and also about this one in the history of Mobile. A house built in 1833, has a lot to say!

Ghostly in the daytime, and especially at night as there are no lights on inside or spotlights highlighting the beautiful home. It's as dark as tar pitch at night. Surely, the city has a budget for this tourist attraction. It could be a great place for Mardi Gras balls, and private family reunions if not already doing so.

We were there on a Monday, which we knew they are closed. We walked around this house as well as a lot of the Garden district. Some beautiful and amazing homes.

Beautiful architecture with charming history! Check it out, worth it!

Coming here was a wonderful experience. I would like to clarify that this wasn't a plantation home like we were wanting to see. However, our tour guide was friendly, funny, and very informative. The house was beautiful, and it would make a great stop on any road trip.

Great tour of the historic Victorian Oakleigh House. Our guide was very sweet and seemed to love telling us the history of the different familes that owned the house before it became an historic site.

Full downtown block park. Old Spanish moss laden live oaks with many squirrels to feed or watch. Very peaceful

Cute, clean park in the middle of downtown. Tons of cute friendly squirrels. No tables or playground but it has a pretty fountain and is very peaceful, I see people walking around ther a lot.

Beautiful park with a beautiful fountain! Lovely to walk around and a great phot spot not to be missed! Right in the heart of downtown Mobile central to unique eateries and bars as well. Spend the day around downtown with Bienville square as the beating heart of your trip!

This is a very relaxing park. Although it’s not large, it is very comfortable and clean inside. The fountain is also beautiful, which I really like. Additionally, the squirrels here are so lively and cute!

AWESOME PLACES. ESPECIALLY AFTER REPAIRING THE DAMAGE FROM THE HURRICANE. I WAS BORN IN MOBILE AL AND DO MISS FEEDING THE SQUIRRELS AND PIGEONS. A GREAT PLACE TO GO AND RELAX AND FORGET ABOUT YOUR TROUBLES.

Bienville Square is a historic and picturesque public park located in downtown Mobile, Alabama. Established in 1824 and named after Mobile’s founder, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, it serves as a central gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The square is an iconic part of Mobile’s cultural and civic life, blending history, green space, and community events.

Surrounded by big leafy trees, it is an excellent place to listen to birds sing and watch kids and squirrels play

Great area for shopping and events going on. The Latin festival happened to be going on when we visited. There were homelessness in the area, sleeping on on sidewalks here and there .

Great park with cool statues. The park commemorates the city of hosting the first Mardi Gras celebration.

This is a nice open field/space great for outdoor events. The Mardis Gras tree is gorgeous so kudos to whoever decorated!! There is history here and it's right across from the museum which makes for a nice outing. We also saw scooters for rent right in front of this park. There is no playground but would be nice for a nice lunch in the park. I saw a family throwing football and there was still plenty of room for others to roam.

Nice Atmosphere. Downtown is such a fun, busy area. Mardi Gras Park is a big open area right across from the History Museum, great for kids (or grown ups too!) to run and play, or have a picnic on, or to sit and read a book. The city's Christmas/Mardi Gras a tree are placed here, with different events/activities taking place here too. (Parking around Mardi Gras park is Free - for 2 hours.- Except during Mardi Gras )

Big open space no play equipment but can be great to relax with a blanket and food. Listen to music read a book and hang out with your friends. Very clean and has port o potties to use.

Great spot for a small festival, the Latin heritage festival was great and there was no ICE bs

Mardi Gras Park is a lively public park in downtown Mobile, located at 109 Government Street. Opened in 2016 on the site of the former Mobile County Courthouse, the park celebrates Mobile’s distinction as the birthplace of Mardi Gras in America. It blends history, art, and public space to provide a colorful and festive atmosphere for locals and tourists alike.

Great outdoor flea market that has eating areas that serve a variety of snacks and beverages. Fresh fruits and produce are sold. If you look around you will find alot of hidden gems and antiques - all the need is a little TLC to be resold. I usually visit once a week.

Got a few good deals before the heat got me. Wish Mobile had an indoor flea market. Went by the past few Sundays in a.m. Not as crowded and even though it was hot you could tolerate the heat. By the way the restrooms are air-conditioned and clean. Despite the heat at least 80% of the vendors turned out. You can find a bargain here if you take time to shop.

Be careful bringing your kids here. Had a guy possibly a vendor riding around on a scooter with realistic artificial boobs on hanging out of the see through bra. With kids walking around.

They now charge $1/ person, and the vendor selection might as well have been non existent, cause soooooo many booths were empty! ... SMH... Maybe b/c of the holiday weekend, but from what I remember they used to be packed!

It’s really gone down with the number of vendors. A few are great and imo shouldn’t be there. Too many dirty vendors and too many people selling abused animals in there. Dogs clearly full of worms, one lady had 5-6 ducks crammed in a dog crate. Squished in there with no room between them and no water, no fan or any cooling. They were panting. I have NEVER seen a duck pant from heat. It turned my stomach to see so many animals in cruel conditions. If Mobile Flea Market is going to allow them to sell animals on their property in those conditions, I won’t be back. The very few good vendors aren’t worth it.

Cool "outdoor"shopping area full of all kinds of vendors. Video games, tools, sunglasses, chickens, puppies, birds, scented oils, hats, knives, toys, phone cases, etc. They've got looots of stuff. Costs a dollar per person to get in, but it's worth it just to see everything they've got.

Watch out for dog shit and smell..i slipped and fell. Contacted office. And they weren't concern at all about me falling. All they said was it OK. That I was wrong. Do not recommended visiting this place. Until clean up.

Well, not sure how to rate this. We were camping & drove into Mobile to check out the park only to find that it's completely dug up (except for the big trees)...including most of the parking lot. So, nothing to see except big equipment dredging the river's edge & dumping it onto the land & the statue of Diberville (but that may belong to the nautical museum). Expanding the park? Turning it into something else?

This is an interesting little park on the riverfront that we visited when we were in town for an event at the Convention Center. You can watch the ships coming and going, and take a short walk. Not sure why, but they had the area closest to the river blocked off when we were there. The parking lot is good for using when going to an event in the Convention Center, rather than getting lost in the parking garage and having to pay a $12 fee.

We went here to listen to the Mobile Pops and watch 4th of July fireworks. There was plenty of parking within a few blocks of the park. The park has a beautiful view of the Mobile River. It is also home to a museum and a cruise line terminal. There was plenty of space to walk around. There is no admission fee and is family friendly.

Grounds not bad, but alarming amount of plastic litter in the river. What's the point of public art on a disgusting riverfront? #trash #dirty

Big open area for running off energy in a beautiful setting by the river. Right next to the Mobile Cruise Terminal. Has public bathrooms but they are not climate controlled and there is no playground here.

Cooper Riverside park was beautiful 😍 on my eyes!!! Really enjoy the view and how clean it was. The town is looking great

This was a beautiful harbor area. Lots of places to park and walk around with the family and also take photos. Plenty of shade and all in all a great place to visit of you are looking to take some harbor photos.

Coming from out of town I as looking to find something authentic, fresh and full of flavors. The second I seen the building I knew this is what I was looking for. Fell in love with the decor and the food was amazing. Every single plate we ordered was done to a perfection. From the portions served to the flavors. LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACED.

Great meal at Felix’s Fish Shack this evening I had Fried snapper, jalapeño hush puppies, fried green tomatoes and turnip greens and an old fashioned and then ordered a side salad to go with my leftover fish for lunch tomorrow So delicious The server Caleb was very attentive- but not Too much so…and even brought me some honey for my hush puppies (apparently unheard of in these parts). The drink was well mixed and better than the one I had in Kentucky recently. The view is beautiful- I suggest you go early if you don’t have reservations and want to see the view

Absolutely awesome! I stopped by on the way from LA to FL and it blew my expectations out of the water. If you are in the area and are thinking of eating seafood, I fully recommend. Harley was our server and he was awesome as well.

Step back into a time when food was an experience and service was pleasurable. This place has a great laid back ambience with non stop charm. The staff was amazing, the food was delicious and the price tag was very reasonable. I'd suggest a reservation to get a great view, but not necessarily needed. I'll brag on the crab soup as it was one of the best that I've eaten. Extremely rich in both flavor and crab. Whatever you order, expect the best. Enjoy.

Don't judge a book by its cover, mom always said. That is sound advice for Felix's. While it may not be much to look at, once you are inside, you are in for a great time. From our initial greeting by our host to the seating and introduction to our server, I knew this was an establishment that trains its staff in service. At no time were there any water glasses empty, yet we never felt interrupted. No small feat, to be sure. When it came time to order, no question was left unanswered as the server knew her menu inside and out. We had appetizers and entrees. There were four of us and four servers laid each dish on the table at the same time... from the left. You just don't expect this kind of service from a tourist, off the highway restaurant. The apps and entrees were delicious, and the local beers complimented each. Get there early and find a table with a view. If I ever return to Mobile, Felix's is what's for lunch.

Loved it! Loved the character, views were beautiful. Service was great (Patrick was a great server- always refilling our drinks before asked, great suggestions on food and just interesting to talk to about the area), and the food was delicious! Loved the 1-1-1 (soup flight). House Salad was unique and good.

Over all the best food we’ve had so far in Mobile. The hostess need to control the crowed better. We seen people fighting over tables. Walking out we heard there was an hour wait. Ha not at that rate. Stand at the bar n wait for someone to get up n u have a table. They need better crowd patrol. It wasn’t enjoyable having people stair at u eating. But overall the food was great n the service was great.

My husband surprised me for our anniversary w dinner at Dauphins. Amazing from start to finish! We had the seasonal pork belly starter, then he had the seasonal duck and I had the seasonal pecan crusted chicken. We both had a glass of great wine as well. For dessert we shared the crème brûlée and finished w their chocolate mint ganache served cold over dry ice.

The parking garage is under renovation but worth every second. Stefanie was the best waitress. Fast drinks great food hot and quick. Great views of the bay and city. Shrimp taco's are great shrimp and grits are pretty good as well. We had the key lime pie...biegnets were the best we've ever had. WOW. All was great

If you visit Mobile, you must head to the 34th floor of building 2 and visit this restaurant. There is no dress code for lunch and entrees are around $15 and the food looks and tastes fantastic! The views of the city are breathtaking taking and the atmosphere is smooth and relaxing.

The service and food were 5 star quality. I had the Rasta Pasta and it was so creamy and full of flavor. Our cocktail was delicious and beautiful, the bread and butter were delicious and the pecan bar dessert was simply wonderful. I love that there is a dress code, and the views are stunning, definitely recommend going shortly before sunset. I would love to go back!

Great view with great food!🍲 Recommend The 5 Rivers Gator, it's crispy and flavorful.🐊 Fantastic with the Thai Chili sauce.🤤Enjoyed the Bama Gump. Shrimp and Fried Green Tomatoes, why not!? The gulf shrimp chowder is delicious. Excellent hospitality here. A real city gem!💎 CHECK OUT VIDEO REVIEWS @GHSTLENS TIKTOK | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

My party and I were excited to visit after reviewing the menu online, particularly looking forward to trying the cheese plate appetizer. However, when we inquired about it, our server asked if we had tried it before. We told him it was our first time dining with y'all, and he advised us against ordering it, describing it as “not worth it” and “disappointing,” and instead attempted to steer us toward other options we weren’t interested in. Ultimately, we opted just to enjoy the complimentary bread served with that delicious hibiscus butter. Later in the evening, after we had already placed our entrée orders, our server returned with an assistant and showed us a cheese plate he was delivering to another table, presumably to demonstrate why he found it disappointing. To our surprise, it looked exactly as we had hoped and quite delicious to our eyes, but at that point, it was too late to order an appetizer, and we were genuinely disappointed to have been talked out of trying it ourselves. That said, I want to highlight that our entrées were outstanding, beautifully cooked and flavorful. Additionally, the woman working at the hostess stand graciously took photos of our group on the way out and made us feel warmly welcomed. Her thoughtful service was a lovely way to end the evening and left a positive impression. Thank you for taking the time to read this, as you did not respond to a private message. I offer this feedback with the hope it might be helpful for training and service consistency, as we’re looking forward to returning and trying the cheese plate next time.

I took my fiance to Dauphin's for her 40th Birthday and Thanks Mrs. Hannah the rest of the staff you guys was amazing this was our first time there and they made our evening Awesome. The food was delicious and atmosphere was great. I can't wait to make another reservation

Great food, server was awesome and everything was a good experience except the benches at the tables. Would I go back? Absolutely! Get the Dirty Bird sandwich and use lots of the Slap your Mama sauce! The fried mushrooms are fresh and amazing!

This is a super grungy place. Even the staff is grungy and look unkept. Our server had absolutely no personality. She came to the table and said "may I help you?" "Yes", I responded. " I'll have a burger well done". The first burger was medium rare, and so was the second one. The server said, "We cook them medium rare". So, we left.

Customer service: 10/10 waitress was very nice and welcoming. She even gave us samples of bear to try to fit our preferences. Drinks: 9/10 we got the pear and strawberry lime rekorderling cider. Also got a root beer and water that was great as well. Appetizer: 7/10 We got the “Cool Ranch Steak Nachos”. They were packed with a lot of flavor, the jalapeños were a bit spicy but overall great dish. Entrees: 100/10 We got the “Hugh Jass Waffle Burger” & “The Saenger” they were amazing bursting with flavor. Your taste buds will do a happy dance. Just get it! Overall experience: I love this place! We come here often and I have never had any bad food. The service is great and a very light atmosphere.

Our visit resulted in very ambitious feelings. On the bright side they do have a lot of good beers on tap, and by a lot I mean many dozens. However there were some not so bright aspects of our experience. First I’ve asked about local beers and they suggested to pick a set of flights for me. However I was really surprised when got three beers from Alabama and one from California. I might be not really profound in the geography of the New World, but that was a bit strange even for me. I have to admit I was immediately offered to replace that over boring Stone IPA with a local one and they did replace it indeed. Then, my wife ordered a steak sandwich and asked to make it rare. The space was not too overcrowded, but it took 27 minutes to get us that sandwich, and stake piece of it was dramatically over well done. Also, when I tried to order my second set of beer flight I realized that although they are listed as a verified untapped venue their online menu on untapped was outdated. I had to search really hard to find something that they have listed on untapped and they do have available at the same time. And the last but not least when I asked for a check they took my card and brought we only credit card slip, without any itemized receipt. And the charge looked just a bit too high. It was almost $60 before taxes and everything, meanwhile I expected to be under $50. So I asked for the itemized receipt to be sure that i has been charged correct my. Of course I was not. There was an extra $9 item which we did not order. And again, when I pointed to it, the problem was fixed quickly, and with no argument, and they did apologized. However although it was fixed what bothers me is how come (and why) I have not got an itemized receipt at all in the first place (until I explicitly asked for it)! Is it even legal? Is there any other reasonable and credible explanation of not been automatically provided the itemized receipt, except that I have been tried to be tricked? Well… even if there is, I do not see one. So, please, proceed with carel.

My oh my, wouldn't believe the beer menu. Lots to choose from on tap. Fantastic location right next to the Saenger theater and in the heart of busy Dauphine street. The food menu, classic bar food of good quality. Our server was attentive, informative and friendly who brought me samples of the beer to help me decide. We sat on the outside picnic tables in the heart of Dauphine. One of my new favorite stops when downtown Mobile. We came in on the Amtrak from Gulfport for a day. Had a blast!

I love Loda and our tuna blt was amazing and paired perfectly with our sweet potato waffle fries and got the calamari as an appetizer! Our server was attentive and nice!

The burger was great, I think it was called the courthouse. Had buffalo and blue cheese. Fries were great and the many Oktoberfest beers were a hit. Can go wrong with 100 tap beers..!

This is a very nice park. It is free and has ample parking. There are nice walking trails along waterways, in woods and wetlands. Their gift shop is closed but all park trails are available. You can canoe or kayak here also, I saw some people do that. The welcome center is nice and they have maps of their trails. I saw birds, butterflies and flowers. It is such a nice free nature park.

My kids (8 & 10) and I spent a few hours here. The buildings had various native animals - both live and taxidermied - to look at. You can take a stroll down to the water behind one of the buildings. There are multiple walking paths available, as well. Be sure to use bug spray beforehand, and the mosquitoes are bountiful and hungry. The gift shop was not open when we visited (April 2025).

Very well maintained park. Lots of walking trails and the culture center has many cool animals and story boards.

It's hard to do a review of this place... The buildings... The infrastructure.. the gift shop are all great.. Top rate... BUT and it's a big but is that the interpretive exhibits we're very weak... Way there is just was your appetite for sooooo much more but it's just not there. Do however take time to go to the theatre and watch the video... It's absolutely great.

Great experience, we went on the 90 min cruise going through the delta around midday. Not alot of wildlife out at that time due to the heat, the captain suggested doing a morning or evening one for wildlife. The seats on the boat were wood and your back just rested against the railing or if you had a center seat you had no back rest. A bit overpriced for what it was and the seating become very uncomfortable after the first 1/2 hour so be sure to bring a cushion! The Delta center though was wonderful, lots of educational info about the area with live and taxidermy animals plus the delta center was free!

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon, found the visitor centre closed. Drove round the road, the place was deserted. Found a few buildings and were just about to leave when we saw a couple coming out of one so we tentatively went to investigate. Found some good taxidermy displays and information on snakes, some alive some not! The place has great potential but we were uncomfortable being alone in such a large and deserted place.

Been here for the Expo several years in a row and it's a fantastic experience for all ages. The nature exhibits inside are beautiful and informative as well.

Our favorite place to stop in while in Mobile or driving through. We love the atmosphere, the staff, and of course the beer! We are big IPA drinkers and they always have a few that hit the spot. We always take a few six packs to go for us to enjoy later, too!

My wife and I went on a tour of the brewery last year and then both got flights of beer to try. They have some of the most refreshing beer around. Nice assortment of flavors.

Nice spot to grab a drink. Some unique styles, I can’t say I like them all but I did enjoy the variety and they will have something for just about everyone. Cool indoor area with much needed air conditioning during the summer. Outdoor seating and dog friendly. They have pints and flights for a reasonable price. Enjoyed the red enough to grab a 6 pack on our way out.

We really enjoy going to Braided River and sitting outside on the picnic tables sipping good beer. Our only comment is for them to always try and have a few options other than just IPAs on tap. Usually during the fall/winter we can get a good amber, stout, or porter but less so during the rest of the year.

Great ambiance and staff. Beer is great. Outdoor seating is also great. Trivial with Oliver is also super fun and a nice free pass time while drinking beer with friends.

Fantastic customer service. Good size venue. Plenty of outside seating. Fair prices. Good flavors on the brews and even the lemonade. Clean establishment. Glad we stopped in for a vegan event. Recommended!

The beer here is solid. I'm sure as the brewery matures the beer will improve as well. The atmosphere is unique and modern. Very industrial aesthetic and vibe. The bartenders are nice and the place shows a lot of promise. They don't specialize in any beer which means they have a lot of different styles. I personally enjoyed the hoppy by nature IPA and the #brb brown ale. As for food you can bring your own or order and have it delivered.

I am not sure what I was expecting when I found out about this museum, but I am blown away. The exhibit begins in Africa and ends with descendants speaking about growing up and living in this area. It is thought provoking and chilling to learn this information. I would recommend to anyone at all.

What an inspiration! This is a first rate museum detailing the history, through an audio self-guided tour, of the settlers of Africatown. The settlers were enslaved illegally, long after the Transatlantic slave trade had been banned but shortly before Emancipation. When freed, they built their own town based on their shared African values. We would have liked to take the tour of Africatown itself but time prevented. We hope to be back!

It was AMAZING to learn of this extraordinary history. The museum outlines the resilience of Africans brought to America against their will, and how the remaining ones built a community called AfricaTown. If you love history, it's a must-see in Mobile, Alabama.

This was one of the highlights of my Alabama trip was visiting the heritage house. When coming to Mobile 15 years ago just a plaque. So happy that now an actual building I didn't rush but took everything in and during it had to stand back and later sit to reflect. As an avid genealogist also like how items used to research family during certain times was displayed to tell their stories. There's a short film at the very end and one of the women in it was there and glad to give more information since she is a descendant. This is part of America history which some don't want to acknowledge. The history of our country is both good and bad and all need to be shown.

The Africatown Hertiage House is a very interesting, informative, and educational Museum. The museum shares a lot of information regarding the "CLOTILDA-The Last Ship" that arrived in the U.S.A. and the Community of Africatown.

October 25, 2025 – Africatown Heritage House This was a really neat tour. The thing that amazed me the most was the beaded regalia—millions of beads covered each piece. I didn’t even know how the beads were made, so I asked, and they told me that the men of the towns created them from glass. I’m assuming the women did the embroidery. The pieces featuring snakes and a lion were absolutely stunning, as were the headpieces and the bags. The amount of time and effort that went into making these works of art was phenomenal. The stories shared during the walkthrough were powerful and moving. Thinking about these people being ripped from their homes and families, and treated like animals, was absolutely heartbreaking. This experience was a powerful reminder of where we once were as a nation and how far we’ve come and a call to never go down that kind of path again.

We did several museums in the Mobile area and this was by far the most educational. The lady at the desk is an actual descendant of a slave and she was a wealth of information. It is not very big but it serves its purpose well.

This tour was the perfect balance of local history, creative dishes, and Mobile flavor. Lee guided us like a pro, and every stop had its own story that made the food even more meaningful. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to taste their way through the city in one afternoon!

Took the Old Mobile Evening Food Tour yesterday. Five couples in the group was just the right size. Our guide, Bella, was both extremely knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic about the historical background provided. Was glad to find the tour was flexible enough to accommodate an unexpected departure from the scheduled timing of each stop. Everything came together and made for a very enjoyable evening. I recommend.

We did the Bienville Bites Downtown tour and it was absolutely fantastic! We had a group of 7 of us and it was just the right size. Cynthia, our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! She had the whole group laughing and having a great time the entire time! Thank you Cynthia!

Excellent. Cynthia was a fountain of knowledge. Food was great and other members of our Tour were friendly, all the way from IllI'Good value for money Ian& Kathleen

Lee was an incredible guide! This Mobile, AL food tour was fun, informative, and full of local history. Lee made us feel like true locals with great recommendations on where to eat and what to see next in downtown Mobile. Amazing southern hospitality, delicious comfort food, and a laid-back vibe. Highly recommend! Next time I see Lee I owe him a drink! Thanks for a great time.

We did the Boo Brunch tour for our birthdays and had so much fun! The stories were fascinating, weather was great, and food was DELICIOUS. Our tour guide, Bella, was so kind and knowledgeable. 10/10!

Bella was a fantastic tour guide!! We had a great experience. We enjoyed the spooky history lessons and learned things we never knew about our hometown.

Overall the hotel is good. We did have to change rooms due to the lack of privacy...we had a corner king in the far tower that had an adjoining room that shared the balcony. This was just not acceptable as I could hear the neighbors use the bathroom... View of the roof.... Next room was a corner king in the hotel tower. This room was better. I do have to agree that the room cleaning in between my nights was not that great. Left dirty towels on the floor, didn't refill the amenities. Left empty cups and trash... This could be improved. Service at front desk was also not the level I expect as a Platinum Elite member... I included pictures of the dinner we had at the Italian restaurant in the hotel .. Which was Awesome!!!!!

The hotel was beautiful and located in a great area close to lots of restaurants. The hotel restaurant had great bar tenders and service. The front desk staff was very welcoming and full of helpful information. The lobby coffee was delicious. Small details kept me from a 5 star rating. Bath towel was torn, sink drained really slow. Shower soap bottles were almost empty, didn’t pump well and were not the same brand. Greatest frustration is the air conditioning going off during the night making the room too warm.

This historic building has a beautiful lobby and large spacious rooms. There is live music in one of the lounges (piano) even on a Tuesday evening. The beds are comfortable and the hotel is upscale. The neighborhood it is in is walkable with many unique restaurants just 3-5 minutes away. I had a tower room with a great view of the harbor. Highly recommend staying here.

This is supposed to be resort/spa hotel. They remind you that when they add the additional resort fee to your stay. There is indeed a spa, but I am far from impressed. I've stayed at many hotels across the globe. From East Asia to Europe to South West Asia, I do understand that each region has its own charm. With the local charm, accomidations can vary vastly. However, this one fell short of my basic expectations. My biggest complaints are the dispensation of information from the desk attendant and the cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the rooms. The cleanliness of the room was my second impression. The bathroom counter looked like it still had toothpaste smears from the previous traveler. EVERYTHING had dust on it. I understand that dust is inevitable, but this place clearly had not been dusted or wiped down in a while as it was on most visible surfaces. The air was inconsistent and did not seem to work well either. The bedding also looked like it was left over from a previous guest. The duvet was mostly smooth until you got to the top area where it looked like it had been repeatedly crumpled and then folded over.The pillows had stains all over them as well. They looked fine until we flipped a few over. Whole the room was less than desirable. I have to say that the worse part was the checkin. I understand that checking in late in the evening means you may meet a less than enthusiastic front desk. I try to provide an extra measure of patience and grace to hotel staff, as I understand that it can be challenging career. Furthermore, it can be even more challenging for some to dispense that warm welcome near the end of the night. However, information about breakfast, checkout, and parking should be provided without conflict. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of valet parking. While I was not happy about the hotel parking being valet ONLY, the valet team was welcoming and did a wonderful job of assisting us. So no complaints there. That is where the assistance ended. The attendant was brash and became visibly bothered when asked about a later checkout; to which she provide an inconclusive answer. I left for my room uncertain about breakfast or rather a later checkout existed at all. This place is portrayed as one of the more luxurious accommodations in town, but it's not. Aside from the grand ballroom and such, the rest is reminiscent of an upscale motel/value hotel. I am the type of traveler that values positive staff interaction and clean rooms over a grand entryway and pool. Clean rooms and helpful staff are chief and everything else is expected of a resort/spa style hotel; to elevate an already great experience. That did not happen here. I'm not sure if I will be back as I believe I can find much better accommodations.

Great hotel but had a security incident. Came back from work in the evening to see my room door open. Reported it to the front desk and they checked with security to tell me that the security camera on that floor was turned off for some reason. They told me that this was being investigated and they would get back to me by checking the key card lock history but no one got back to me. Didn’t feel safe staying there after the incident nor how it was handled by front desk with no urgency.

We enjoyed our stay at The Battle House! The staff is friendly and accommodating and the hotel itself is beautiful. Very easy check in/check out and valet parking was a breeze. Our kids loved the whispering arch - such a cool experience! They also really enjoyed the rooftop pool.

Excellent experience!! Loved the history and it is a spectacular place. Room was beautifully appointed, can't wait to go back!!

Friendly peoples real nice

Great tour to learn about the African American history of Mobile. Our tour guide, Mr. Eric Finley, gave excellent information and told us about both past and present. The conversations with him have been very pleasant as well, really enriching the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Awesome tour!! Guide was so knowledgeable. Learned a lot! Will definitely go again .

We were SO impressed with this the self-guided tour through Mobile. The website has a wealth of historical information, including videos at each historical marker. This was an incredibly meaningful experience.

Mr. Eric Finley was an incredible tour guide! His knowledge and stories really made the whole experience. 10 stars!

We enjoyed the tour and our guide Mr Eric Finley. He made tough conversations about race easier to have. I learned so much and would highly recommend this to everyone!

Fantastic tour, very informative: Eric, our tour guide was very professional and kinowledgeable. I plan to take this tour again. I encourage everyone to do so.

Just walked past a great historic informative plaque, can't wait to take the tour

My guest and I absolutely enjoyed the food at Spot of Tea. From the moment we entered, we were greeted by friendly waitresses and a gentleman, I think, was the manager. There is definitely ol school service, and I love that about the restaurant. The waitresses were very descriptive of the menu and honestly were also fun to talk to. Our waitress "Shea" ( I hope I got her name right) was top-notch. She checked our table so much I had to stop her from refilling my coffee. I say this with a huge smile because of how much I love great customer service. I had the Cajun Shrimp and Grits. My guest had The Eggs Cathedral. When I say both were delicious, lord hammercy, I ain't lying! The Egg Cathedral was a delicious English muffin, topped with a crab cake, scrambled eggs, topped with a seafood sauce with blackened Grouper, Crawfish, Jumbo Shrimp and hashbrowns You heard me right. It was delicious. My Cajon Shrimp and Grits were cheesy, loaded with savory sausage, and, of course, shrimp. The voodoo sauce and green peppers added the perfect touch. Don't walk, run, and get some of that tasty goodness I enjoyed. Oopsies, I forgot to say they have good coffee too.

Atmosphere: The service was excellent, ignore all the 1 star reviews. They are more about the reviewers than the restaurant; our only complaint was that my wife and I had to wait over 15 minutes from getting our menus to being able to order. Service: But if you have some patience, it's well worth the wait. Of course if you come in with a group of 10 or 20 people, you're going to overwhelm their resources. Food: The toast was very buttery, which was unappetizing, but otherwise the food was excellent. Their new chicken and waffles were hot and delicious, and I liked the freedom of their Choose Your Own Breakfast option.

We are in town for some concerts at the Civic Center. We decided to take the short walk to this little restaurant for breakfast. It was an excellent breakfast, but a bit more than I could eat. You definitely get plenty to eat! The staff was very friendly, as we chatted with some of them. If you're in town, be sure to check them out. Come hungry and you'll leave full!

I wish I had more time to spend there, but in the short time I had, I enjoyed my experience. Beware though if you order over easy eggs. They may come out overcooked while the bacon in my opinion was undercooked. They corrected both without an issue. My son's BLT was perfection in his opinion and he appreciated the soup that came with it. Our server was helpful in explaining the menu and overall attentive.

I honestly wasn't impressed with my plate, it wasn't seasoned, I honestly left 80% of my food on the plate, so maybe I should have ordered something else. However our waitress Cindy was the absolute best, she was a Sweetie, so that made our visit exceptional.

A beautiful and unfussy American café with whiffs of French Louisianian vibes. The place can get packed, especially on the weekends, and can take a while to get a table, but it's worth it. Service is pretty good and homely (thank you Heather!) and the food is just as great. The Eggs Cathedral, in particular, are a huge portion of delicious food. Worth checking out at least once if you're in town!

Although we were expecting some southern charm in the architecture, it came through in the service and delicious meal. Parking in the area was difficult to find and we would have preferred to park closer for more safety. Still a good experience overall and memories made.

Made a day trip from Panama City to eat here on Sunday the 27th. It was well worth the drive! Aubrey our server was amazing! The food was wonderful we had two appetizers 3 entrees and 2 desserts and wow! Absolutely amazing! Keep it up! Can’t wait to return for more.

Ordered all 6 dinner dishes they had and every one of them was delicious. Everything was unique compared to other restaurants. Each dish has at least 4 flavors going on, all complimenting each other. I'd say the best was either the duck or the shrimp and grits. But the short ribs was a top notch piece of meat cooked just right. And the peaches and cream dessert was awesome.

An amazing experience of a farm to fresh restaurant with a focus on Southern Cuisine. The shrimp and grits were to die for and they accommodated my partner with a sweet potato dish that is normally an appetizer as an entrée. She could not stop raving about it, which is a huge compliment since she owns a French restaurant. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

I’ve been to Noble South several times, and the food has always been the highlight. Their dishes feel authentic, and their double cheeseburger is easily one of the top two in Mobile. I still can’t decide if it beats Haberdasher, but it’s close. This visit, though, was a letdown. I showed up around 1:35p.m. without realizing they close at 2. No one mentioned it, which would’ve helped set expectations. Service felt rushed from the start. My first water glass smelled strongly of bleach. The replacement glass was stained and still smelled like red wine. I love red wine, so I let it go, but it shouldn’t happen in a place like this. After the burgers came out, our server immediately asked if we wanted to split the check—no “Do you need anything else?”, no offer for dessert. That made it pretty clear they were ready to wrap up for the day. If they had simply told us the kitchen was closing soon, we would’ve ordered quicker or chosen another spot so we weren’t keeping anyone late. One more thing: the AC was blasting so cold that we were freezing the entire time, which didn’t help the experience. Great food, consistently mediocre service this time. I’ll come back for the burger, but I hope the hospitality matches the quality of the kitchen on my next visit.

We were looking for an excuse do take a road trip from northern Florida to Alabama and once we saw that Noble South in Mobile receiver the 2025 Michelin First place recognition in the American South award, we headed that way. First stop, Noble South was indeed worth the journey. This small, relatively simple setting created food that was most especially wonderful. From the service, to presentation, to variety and to taste; 5 Star for sure. We ordered the chicken liver mouse and the Duck leg confit both of which were well worth the trip. Got an opportunity to spend some time with owner Chris Rainosek and even ventured into the small kitchen to directly thank and congratulate the chiefs for their exemplary creations. This farm to table restaurant in a Southern tradition was a true find and one very worthy of your visit. Tomzi

Stopped here for dinner as the menu sounded really interesting. We got a good spread and overall it was good. The small plates and appetizers seem to be where they shine. The dinner and the dessert were good but not amazing. We found them to be a little bland but it could have just been an off night. The location is very nice and the atmosphere is adorable. We found the staff very friendly and accommodating. We ordered the deviled eggs ( delicious) , the pickled shrimp (delicious), the blue cheese jam sourdough (good the blue cheese was a little strong to me but the bread was excellent), the hot honey fried game bird ( excellent), shrimp and grits (good a little bland) , the swordfish schnitzel (good a little bland as well and heavy), apple cobbler ( good) and the banana pudding (ok we didn't like it very much but it wasn't bad). Overall a cool place to stop and we really liked the atmosphere, apps and small plates.

Really delicious and great atmosphere! I am sensitive to salt and sometimes dishes can be too salty for me. This was not the case! Flavors of each ingredient was pure and clean. The dessert, tres leches, was nicely spiced too!!

This is a great one screen theater! The first couple rows of seating are recliners. The are comfortable but kind of close together. The movie starts promptly at the times stated, 2, 6 & 8 pm. The staff is friendly. There are light concessions but the theater serves beer and wine! Not a place you would bring young children, all of the movies I've seen advertised are rated PG-13 or R. I would recommend this as a cool little spot to check out with friends or if you're on a date downtown.

I went to see a showing of a movie called Southern Village! The experience was amazing, Zeke (owner) is over flowing with hospitality. If you’re from Mobile, or in town visiting, Crescent Theater has a comedy night for good date night.

Blast to the past, a theater that has all the upgrades but has remained true to its' roots. And... the wine selection is excellent. We were visiting from Phoenix and the owner greeted us with hospitality. What a great find!

Super cute and historic local one-screen theater! 🎬🍿 I stopped in to see a 7:45 PM show on a Monday about 15 minutes late, but the projector had been turned off because no one else showed up :( It would’ve taken too long to fire up the projector again, but the owner was lovely to chat with for a while. He’s a Mobile native and very enthusiastic about bringing life to this historic theater, which he recently reopened. He is also making an effort to show movies made in the region. If I weren’t leaving the next morning, I absolutely would’ve come back the next day. I recommend buying tickets ahead of time online to make sure you get a seat, especially if you may be late. In a world of large chain theaters, it’s fantastic to have a mom-and-pop theater where you can chat with a neighbor about local film history. The residents of Mobile are lucky to have this place in their backyard! It’d be worth taking the time to watch a movie if you’re in the area.

I absolutely love this place. My wife and I love to go here for a movie without all the big box crowds, it is an original theater, always friendly staff, prices are down to earth, comfortable seating, even recliners down front if you want. It is Downtown on Dauphin and you can spend time here before or after the show. If you haven't been you are missing a treat.

The staff was very friendly. The building itself had a nice vibe. I'd never been to a stand up comedy show before, and I wound up having a good time.

Really great experience! Decided to see Everything Everywhere All At Once during the afternoon and stopped in for a 2PM showing. Met the owner, had a nice chat about the movie and where I'm from. One bag of popcorn, a beer and a great movie later I can definitely say I'll be coming back to visit again soon. This place is small with just 1 theater room, a few recliners up front and simple stadium seating behind. It's super cozy, friendly, and locally owned.

Went down on a busy Saturday night while artists in the park was on display. No street parking, only parking garage in rear at a cost of $10-25. Waitress was not dressed very professionally but atmosphere was very casual. Waitress was not patient with new customers. Restaurant was hot and sweaty. Chips and salsa was not bottomless and was saltless and very bland. Customer ant the table ordered guacamole dip, no salt and chips were very thick. Owner personally heated up some chips for one of the customers with me at my table and confessed he didn’t have the proper equipment to keep the chips warm, it was ordered. After we got the new chips, we felt sorry for the other customers that were being served cold, thick, and bland chips. Brisket Burrito was good, split in two as a courtesy. Manager only compensated for the bland guacamole and offered no other refunds/menu changes for the meal. Felt the meal was over priced under seasoned and not worth the jog downtown. 2/10 stars

The place looked great, but I'm not sure that the food was worthy of the price it cost. It wasn't bad by any means, but I wouldn't want to pay what I did to get it. I also was not a fan of the tortilla chips, personally. Too thick and almost bready. My friend and her family love this place though (she was here and she downed her whole plate before everyone else), so I certainly don't speak for everyone in sharing my thought on this one. Loved the exterior and interior design. Lots of hanging decor, wall decorations of various items, a hot sauce bar, wall decor in the bathroom, and neon lights outside when it gets dark! They also have outdoor and indoor seating! I'd say if you like Mexican food, it's at least worth a shot!

Let me start by saying the Surf and Turf burrito was amazing and I loved it. But, the chips were terrible and way too expensive. Their chips were very hard and not near as good as the free chips at most Mexican restaurants. The guacamole was just mediocre. Not bad but not great. For $9, the chips and guac should have been great. The salsa on the salsa bar was not good. My wife has egg and dairy allergies so she had to get something without cheese. She ordered a burrito with chicken and veggies. They forgot to put the veggies in the burrito. Apparently, the cheese gives the burrito all the flavor as her burrito was very bland and she didn't enjoy it. The restaurant was packed when we got there so we had to wait 30 mins and then were sat outside. The service was also very slow. Unfortunately, someone was smoking near us outside which was not enjoyable. Not the restaurant's fault but did not help our experience. I would come back for the Surf and Turf burrito but that's about it.

Saw this on DDD several years ago and was excited to finally be in the area to try it. We were beyond disappointed. Chips were hard as rock with no flavor to the salsa. The mahi, shrimp, and jerk chicken tacos were bland. Only things that were any good were the brisket, cheese dip, and guac. It took over 20 minutes after we finished eating to get our check. They were not that busy.

My family has visited Roosters many times over the last few years and is hands down the best place to get some good grub! The food is always flavorful and the environment is fun for the entire family. Highly recommend!!

The Torta was unique and quite flavorful. Enjoyed the mellow atmosphere and professional chefs. Was not planning on Mexican in Mobile, but was glad I stoped in.

I had a fantastic meal at Roosters in downtown Mobile! From start to finish, everything was top notch. The menu features a mix of Latin American / Caribbean / Mexican fare — tacos, burritos, grilled mahi mahi, jerk chicken, barbacoa, and more.  The flavors were bold and fresh, and I especially loved how they do simple toppings like onion, cilantro, and cotija on their authentic street-style tacos.  The portion sizes are generous, and prices are fair for the quality and downtown location.  What really stood out was the service — friendly, welcoming, attentive without being overbearing.  The staff made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, with vibrant décor that fits the energy of the food.  If you’re in Mobile and looking for a spot for tasty tacos, Latin fusion, or just a satisfying downtown meal, Roosters is a winner. Highly recommended!

I recently had some of their ice cream (frigging outstanding), I've had some of their sweets (awesome), and I ate lunch years ago. I do remember the lunch being very good. I think I had a chicken salad sandwich and I remember basically licking my plate clean. So everything I've tried at 3 Georges has been outstanding. The people working are a blast to talk to and ready to assist in any way. I can not wait to go back!!

What a lovely old-fashioned charm!! They have the best candy, pralines, fudge, taffy, and chocolate-covered everything delicious! So good.. classic Southern sweets, pecan logs, peanut brittle, and saltwater taffy🤤🤤 I loved the old styles and cute interiors too!

Really adorable spot with old timey charm! Creamy ice cream at a decent price, but there are not many flavors to choose from. Very slow and inefficient service, but that is to be expected with only one person working!

Chocolates and praline were DELIGHTFUL! The staff were so friendly and did not make us feel rushed when we were struggling to decide what to get. I recommend stopping here if you are in the area.

I walked into there after dinner and the lady that was working there had amazing energy! She was so polite and sweet I couldn’t leave with buying something!!!! I was so full otherwise I would have gotten a milkshake! The chocolate covered Oreos wear so fresh and yummy!!!!!! She also spoke positively about her boss and I love that! I’m from out of town but if I come back I will be a repeat visitor! I wish I remembered her name! But I visited 5/12/25

Mobiles finest, the best place to have a good meal and your favorite handmade Malt, float or milkshake. You must try this place you won’t be disappointed.

We had the best visit into Three Georges Candy shop. Evelyn not only made us the best ice cream sundae ever but she took the time to share a little history of the shop. I really enjoyed learning about it. It was such a wonderful step back in time. The shop was founded n 1917 and you can see in the pictures it still has the original cabinets, glass shelves, floor, mirrors etc. Most of the jars and glassware are original to the store. Whether you enjoy history or not...you will enjoy a stop into this wonderful place.

Scored some front row seats. WASTE. People from the seats were able to come stand in front of the front row...I had to stand at the gate all night body blocking to save our spots. Security is a joke. They dgaf and will do nothing. It would be one thing if it was pit...this was rows of chairs...with maybe 3 ft of room up front. That 3ft stayed full. Now if you want that type of venue this is for you. No food and the card readers kept failing. Glad I brought cash! But this venue is definitely one of those do what you want types so don't waste $$$ on good seats. Just go stand there. Good thing it was such a good lineup. Also meet n greets areas need updating...eww. And why no food?

The Civic Center Theatre was nice to watch the Nutcracker ballet :) It was definitely a fairly large theatre, with nice staff and fairly comfortable seats. The theatre did seem a bit old, with a slight odor like of old furniture. I think the walls could be a little more decorated, as they were just plain matte dark blue. The spotlight coming from the top of the theatre was also emitting more light on the balcony than I would have expected, though I did sit near the top of the balcony area. Lastly, I think the sound system could have been more surround and better quality, as the ballet played the music for the Nutcracker rather than having live music. Overall, it was a nice experience and only a few things that could be improved ^^

Saw Bert Kreischer here tonight among other things over the years. Riser chairs are fairly uncomfortable and tightly packed but it’s a good venue.

Wow! I had An Amazing time here last night when I attended The Shen Yun Performing Arts Show. The Show was Amazing and Inspiring, I was in Total Awe with joy the whole time while watching the show! The Performers were So Talented and Awesome. The staff and MPD Officers were helpful and friendly as well.😊💕

Clean and air conditioned. One of the better places to host large events. Parking is additional and can take time to get out of parking. Location near downtown and 1-10 make for easy access.

Several Mardi gras balls take place in this facility each year. Let alone Court. There are plenty of rooms the bathrooms are large, and the dance floor for Mardi gras is perfect.

Great concert- In This Moment & Motionless In White.. Parking is a bit rough but worth it.

Cruise was great. Although very interesting amongst the large ships and cargo vessels, kinda wish it was more out of the industrial back drop. Music was nice. Dinner appropriate music followed by "stepping it up" for the later evening. Dinner could have been better. Chicken was dry and tough (but edible). Possible a little more sauce drizzled on top to offset the dry. Shrimp was shrimp. Wild rice and green beans were as expected (right in the rating middle). Dessert could have been better. Some sort of blackberry cobbler. All in all it was nice evening. We enjoyed it and will be returning for the show cruise.

This was such a fun experience! We were staying in Pensacola and this was just about an hour or so away from our Airbnb. We went on the Ghost Tour at 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday evening. It was on the second deck and we had great views of each side of the river. Our tour guide Noelle did an excellent job telling us all of the haunted stories of Mobile. We also got to see the SS United States before they sink it. This was a great experience and if you’re in the Mobile area, this is definitely worth checking out!

My husband and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary by going on a dinner cruise. We did the live music on the top deck and it was such a fun evening. It was also fun to see Mobile from a different view. The city lights were very pretty, the waiters and staff were nice, and the food and entertainment was great. Was a great wait to celebrate for the evening.

We loved our experience on the 3:00 cruise of the Mobile Bay. Our guide was very conversant and informative. We learned so much about the shipping industry as it touches Mobile, AL and, honestly, our world. We chose this particular cruise as it was at a time when we could see the ships—specifically the SS United States. We were blessed to meet and view the pictures and video of a lady who shared her experience of sailing on the United States as an eleven-year-old. What a treat!!

This show was so much fun. They involved anyone in the audience who was willing to participate. Not everyone wanted to participate and they were not put on the spot. There was a little music, a little dancing, and a little bit of Mystery. The actors were hilarious. They love their job.

We went on a Saturday 3 pm scenic cruise. Our cruise director, John, shared many facts about all of the ships that we were seeing in the shipyards along the river. He was very friendly, entertaining, and enjoyed answering our questions. This cruise did not have a meal, but drinks and snacks were available for purchase. We will definitely be going again!

UPDATED: I returned on July 31, 2025, and once again had an outstanding experience that matched my previous visit. The quality, consistency, and care remained top-notch, exactly what I hoped for. It's reassuring to know that excellence like this doesn’t fade with time. Highly recommend! March 2025 Review Highly recommend if you want to see the SS United States one final time before it is sunk. Great staff, enjoyable experience!

Spinach/Artichoke/feta dip was amazing as well as the cup of soup of the day which was potato,connecuh with kale. I was expecting a creamy soup but was delightfully surprised it was more "brothy" and delicious! I also highly recommend the portobello mushroom sandwich.

This is a very cute place to eat. Good portion sizes and the taste was well balanced. Be prepared for no ice and bottled drinks as they don't have any other choices. This doesn't detract from the experience. Good place for a ambitious person.

The cutest spot. All outdoor seating great place to dine especially on the day we came the weather was perfect. The food was good it's not my usual go to cuisine so I'm not going to knock the food. It was good and if this is your type of food you will love it. I liked it just not my favorite. It was a nice place to try a new style of food.

we are visiting from Indianapolis and my girlfriend found this place it is totally amazing five star start to finish! The creamy carrot ginger soup get it by the bowl delicious! Mushroom and Swiss out of this world! Rose The waitress did such a good job we were the last people to come in tonight and she treated us like we were the first, kind and very knowledgeable of the menu I would definitely put this on my list for places to stop 💪🙌

I love The Cheese Cottage. It's an interesting place to eat. There is no inside seating but there is some shade. They don't have ice or lemons but did leave a bottle of water on the table. I had the French onion grilled cheese and chips. My husband had a Reubin and a salad. Both were tasty.

Looking for a fun brunch spot without the crowd in downtown Mobile? If so, this is the spot for you! The cheese boards here are well designed and is very fun to eat. They also offer a good variety of sandwiches and salads so you can’t really make a bad choice. The staff is very kind and makes the experience much more enjoyable!

The Cheese Cottage in Mobile is a charming specialty shop and café that has earned a loyal following for its carefully curated selection of cheeses, gourmet foods, and fresh, made-to-order sandwiches. The moment you step inside, the cozy, welcoming atmosphere immediately makes it clear that this is a place for food lovers and those who appreciate quality ingredients.

My wife thoroughly enjoyed looking at the various displays The worker took time to explain some of the various machines on display.

Important Note: They are only open on the /first Saturday/ of every month. We were unable to visit, as we weren't aware of this until we arrived, but will definitely be returning and updating this review once we've had the chance to actually enter. The outside, for what it's worth, was EXTREMELY beautiful. The entrance is only accessible from the sidewalk along the main road, so we did circle a couple of times before we realized we'd already passed it. [We parked at the medical facility next door, but I might choose a different lot next time so as not to take parking from patients, etc.] We wandered around after discovering it was closed and realized their garden, which looked well kept, was full of various plants labeled with their respective taxonomy and medical uses, such as the symptoms and illnesses they were used to treat. Super interesting!! So even though we didn't actually get to see the inside of the museum itself, we found it to be a really cool and educational spot to visit. The building itself is also quite pretty. It and the grounds are obviously well looked after, and we look forward to the chance to seeing how that care is applied to the curation and upkeep of the museum's (mysterious) interior. *The only reason for my 4 vs 5 star rating is the fact that I only saw the outside, unfortunately. I will return with the fifth star once I've had the pleasure. Hoping the hours can be updated in some way to reflect the "first Saturday of the month" caveat.* Edit: The kind people who run the museum have confirmed that their hours are provided in specific detail on their direct site, and unfortunately Google doesn't have a format to support the details of their weekend hours. Looking forward to the first Saturday of my next month in Mobile!

So me and my daughter went for a field trip with our homeschool group. Ms. Carol led the kids in a lesson and activity about blood and she was so sweet and the kids had fun. And the director gave the tour himself and it was really cool. We learned a lot and got to see and touch a lot of cool stuff!

I have lived on the Gulf coast for over 20 years and never knew this places existed! Such a great experience to go and visit a local museum to learn about the medical history! It is a small museum, but full of great historical information! I would recommend to make a stop here and checking it out!

Small but very interesting museum on the grounds of the Women's and Children's Hospital. Exhibits are not limited to Mobile or Alabama medical history. Admission fee is reasonable and the museum displays are well labeled. If door is locked, ring the bell cause there is only one guide.

Small museum but worth the price; looks like an old house, no sign on the building visible from the parking lot; problem here is common to many museums - they use a tiny, tiny font for some of the item's info cards;

Small, but packed with devices, artifacts, and materials showing the history of medicine in Mobile. Very impressive!

I went here because I wanted some movie popcorn. It's a tiny hole in the wall place, which I normally love. However, this place was disgusting. It was filthy. There were flies. The worker was not friendly. He did not greet me, smile or say anything above the absolute bare minimum. I did get the popcorn despite that and it was very good, but I would not have even taken a free sample of any of the candy that was displayed on cases.

It’s a must & should for every trip to Mobile! The hot roasted peanuts are always fresh and tasty. People love the mix of chocolates and nuts. Come by and enjoy a treat🥰

Great peanut shop that has been here very long time. They have more than peanuts 🥜 if you are in the area, stop by and read some of the pictures that tells the story of the store :)

I really liked the chocolate covered almonds. The chocolate was just enough in covering the almonds. My husband liked the roasted peanuts.

I visited one of my favorite downtown locations yesterday. You really haven't been to downtown Mobile without a visit to Bienville's famous peanut shop. First of all, you will enjoy seeing the peanut roasting machine and trying the freshly roasted nuts. Then walk the candy aisle to see not only so many kinds of chocolates and peanuts but some vintage candy as well. Everytime I am here, just like yesterday, the staff has been pleasant and helpful.

Very nice people. Can not get past how dirty and grimey the place is. Peanuts just mediocre. Bought several different types of nuts and most tasted Smokey. Hard pass

Amazing old school shop,good prices,polite hard working owner,peanuts brings you back in past with there unique flavor,def nothing that you can find at you grocery store Good job,hope they stay in bussiness for ever

My group of friends decided to come to this establishment to celebrate one of the girls birthdays. It came at my suggestion as I’ve been to this bar several times and enjoyed it completely. The atmosphere is super cool and the speakeasy concept is one that I think is very unique for Mobile. My friends and I arrived around 10:30 (an hour and a half before they closed which was confirmed by our server) and received great service from our server (who only provided exceptional service and made the birthday girls experience great). Unfortunately, once we had a first round and had been talking amongst our tables, a drink was accidentally spilled. The group attempted to clean the spill as quickly and quietly as possible and had to ask three times for a towel to be brought to our table so we could clean it. Everyone in our group had only had one drink and it was very clearly an accident. We were very apologetic and thankful for the young lady that came to help us. After the spill was cleaned (still 30 minutes before close) the bartender motioned at our table and made an overt gesture to cut us off and no longer serve our table. The entire table was made up of those who work in the service industry and it was very disappointing to see employees of a nice and well respected establish treat us with blatant disrespect. It was very obvious that no one within our group was intoxicated and the result of a simple mistake was the cause of embarrassment for our group in front of the entire establishment from those working. I do not know that I will be returning to this establishment, which is very unfortunate as I have been several times and have recommended it to countless people. There is absolutely no reason guests should be subjected to public embarrassment given that the bartender is no longer interested in serving drinks within operating hours. Very disappointed and I hope staff with consider guest experience in the future as it’s obviously not a priority.

Overall a nice place. Staff are nice. The atmosphere is great. Food is a little off, but not bad. I liked the yucca and plantain chips, but I feel they might have come from a bag. I would go back.

One of our favorite places to eat a nice cuban meal. The Tapas Tres Pillars are delicious. Our go to entree is the Arroz con Pollo. We also love the cuban sandwich. The after dinner coffees are a must have. If you’re a chocolate lover then the Cuban coffee chocolate mousse desert is a great way to end the night.

First visit, stopped in for Happy Hour, sat at bar. Tried bean dip (OK) and Cuban sandwich (pretty good). Had Cuba Libres and wine, which was half off for Wednesday karaoke night. Our server Marlee was great. Fun vibe as speakeasy with converted bank vault. Definitely plan return visit!

I absolutely LOVED this place! The atmosphere, entry, staff, good, drinks, and music was AMAZING! The good and drinks are so flavorful and the staff is attentive, professional, and kind. We spent more time there than we usually do at a restaurant and we were never rushed. It would be great for them to add one more server/bartender for the 8p+ shift because service declined after the restaurant and bar were full. I will definitely be back. This is my new favorite place!

Gorgeous bar in the old bank vault! Wonderful, friendly service from Marley and the guy on the door, and a super good value happy hour. Made for a great evening all round, would highly recommend!

Excellent space! Food, service and music was amazing (saxophone player). This is one of the better places to go for night life in downtown Mobile. I’ll be back for sure. I took off one star for atmosphere for two reasons; lighting, which was too bright for night life, and seating, which is awkward and not comfortable. They just need a good interior designer to come in and re-imagine the space to work for a lounge/restaurant inside an old safe room. Difficult, but not impossible. Other than that, it was great! I know I’m a hard judge, but I’m strong believer if you don’t tell people how you truly experienced the space, they don’t know! Great place to go though!

Great specialty coffee shop! It seems like they lean third-wave but also offer a little something for everyone. I tried one of the fall seasonals — “Siena,” molasses and orange — half sweet as a hot latte for here, and it was really tasty. As a barista, it’s easy for me to be disappointed at other coffee shops, but the execution on my drink was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though it took a while to order on a Saturday as it was quite busy, my drink was ready very quickly. And I really enjoyed the atmosphere as a hangout or study space. Nova was recommended to me by several friends and I agree — you’ve got to check this spot out when in Mobile! Back when I used to come visit the area in high school there were no good coffee shops around, so I’m very happy there have been a few additions to the coffee scene since I last visited!

This is a great place to get coffee. This is the kind of place you just make your coffee shop and forget all the others. While there are an abundance of coffee shops these days, not many of them, A. Have Cortados and B. Have the skill to actually make one well. The owner, Tim, was incredibly kind and very skilled. We came through from out of state and anytime I’m rolling through Mobile, I’m stopping here. Thanks Cortado King of Alabama!

So far my favourite coffee spot in Mobile. Nice blend, good flavour, nicely prepared. Nice outdoors sitting (specially if you like squirrels)

I love the freshly made drinks at Nova. Their Matcha is the best around! Second best is their Maple Bourbon Iced Latte.

what a cool find! we are out of town and wanted more than a gas station coffee and this one hit the spot. baristas were well prepared and knew the craft and even passed a latte srt for to go cup

New favorite coffee place! I have found very few coffee shops in Mobile that have genuine real coffee. If you don't have coffee breath, it isn't real coffee! From the smell of the beans being ground, to the taste of the espresso, it's all amazing! I appreciate that when I ordered a flat white I was not asked what size I wanted because a flat white should only be one size! I love the employees, I love the atmosphere. I will be back!

It's such a beautiful historical building. Its location is a walkable, friendly area. To my knowledge, there are no elevators, so if your seats are on the 3rd floor. You will be climbing stairs, but also, when you reach each level, there is a little short walk to the next set of stairs (to catch your breath) before you continue up. Seating is a tight fit. The staircase is beautiful. The chandelier and some of the lighting were beautiful as well Bathrooms could use an update, but it is an old building, so just keep that in mind. Staff is very friendly and helpful, drinks were good. We will go back, but not on the 3rd level We were there for a concert and it didn't disappoint Happy birthday, Alice Cooper 🎉

Beautiful theater, it's been a minute since I've been in a proper auditorium. I haven't had a chance to see the Saenger theater in NOLA yet, so this was my first experience. Came to see my spiritual advisor Alton Brown on his final tour. It was such an awesome experience, I wish I had seen some of his previous shows. Theater staff was pleasant and efficient getting everyone through security and seating. Concession prices are what you would expect. There's paid street parking and a pay lot around the corner.

I had an iconic experience at "The Price Is Right" game show in Alabama at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile! It was such a fun outing with my mom, dad, grandma, aunt, uncle, and friends. The atmosphere was electric, and being part of the live audience was unforgettable. I loved sharing this special moment with my family and friends—it made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend attending if you ever get the chance!

What an awful experience. We came to Mobile to see a show at the theater, took and Uber from dinner, and arrived to discover no purses were allowed. Myself and other women were yelled at as though we should have known. "NO PURSES! CLEAR BAGS ONLY! CLEAR BAGS ONLY!" Another yelled, "YOU HAVE 2O MINUTES TO FIGURE IT OUT!" If you arrived in your vehicle you might be able to walk back to your car in enough time to leave your purse, but if you arrived by cab, Uber, or limo even, you were out of luck. There were no other options. How are so many people so angry about something we weren't warned about ahead of time. We were coming from a lovely dinner at Hummingbird Way, well dressed for a nice night out, polite, and confused— with little time to rectify an odd situation that required us to have a 'clear bag' instead of a purse, to enter the venue— while being treated like errant school children. Perhaps the theater could put something on the front page of their website. As of now you would have to navigate to the— things you should know frequently asked questions— on purpose. It will be some time before we attend any event at this venue. They need to fix their security issue, which appears they are making very little effort to fix. In addition, this is the south, perhaps we should treat adults with some semblance of respect.

I've now seen two shows at the Historic Saenger Theatre and it is a very nice place to see a show. It is old but that is all part of the nostalgia. The balcony seats are super cramped but what do you expect for the cheap seats in an old Theatre? Their drinks and cocktails are expensive so plan on dropping $$$ on a date or for the family. For a more comfortable experience, buy tickets for downstairs seats or box seats.

The place was dusty and had eletrical issues while we were there . . Seats are not made for bigger people, especially in the upper levels show we saw was great after issues were resolved

It is a great place to see a concert. Easy to walk to if staying at a hotel downtown. Seats comfortable .Sound is great. Ticketmaster screwed up our seats..so we had none. Manager Pablo said he would take care of it and he did..we got moved to the balcony..so cool. Has never happened before..performer was so close to us. Comfy high backed cushy seats...nice

All the food tasted great. Fried mushrooms were cooked perfectly . Fish and Chips were surprisingly good. If possible, sit outside. Not very pricey..

Easily the best cocktails in town, and their food matches the bar they set. The service is also top notch - we love the guys behind the bar and always have a good time here.

If you want to go to a place that has top notch bartenders and this is the place to go. These guys are professionals. They will always lead you in the right direction. As far as drinks goes, the food is great and the atmosphere is awesome. This is a must try!

Our team at work went to The Haberdasher for drinks and some food. I had never been to The Haberdasher but I’ve heard it was good. Since I’m not much drinker I was there solely for the food. Our team a bunch of appetizers and I tried to try them all. There also was first thing that I tried was the French fries. I enjoyed them. They came with a mayo sauce. Not a big mayo on fries fan but it worked. I then tried the Brussels sprouts. Not sure what they were seasoned with but they tasted pretty good. Next was the chicken tenders. I dipped them in what seemed like a chili sauce. It had a lot of spice but it tasted good. The mahi mahi slider was next. It was my favorite appetizer. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce on the slider was very tasty. After that was the fish part of the fish and chips. I think the fish was cod. I was impressed by it. It wasn’t better than the mahi mahi but it was good. The last thing I tried were the avocado fries. I really like them. To be honest if I wasn’t full from the other food I would’ve eaten more of the avocado fries.

10/10 fav spot in Mobile. We drive over from Pensacola from time to time. Such great food and cocktails. I also love the set up I’m a big fan of counter service spots. Counter service with fine dining quality? Even better.
