The 50 best places to go out in Mobile

I was extremely excited for this as I had heard so much about the quality of food and the overall experience. Maybe my expectations were too high. The service was great and the food was good not great. The restaurant has character and could be a little cleaner. Parking was easy as it was right across the street but it was a Sunday night and if really busy downtown parking could be a challenge.

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!

One of our favorite places to eat when we’re in Mobile. Everything we’ve ever gotten has been delicious! Bread pudding is amazing!

A perfect lunch spot while traveling! We enjoyed everything from the yummy food to the fun atmosphere to the top tier service. Kasondra was a delight, and she didn’t miss a beat. She’s the best restaurant server we’ve had recently. Wintzell’s has been around for a while, and we understand why!

Amazing experience! Both the Sub and Battle Ship are worth stopping to see. The self guided tour is easy to follow and takes you on every part of the ship. The museum did a great job explaining the spaces and having enough room for multiple people to be in the same room. We went in mid September and it wasn’t too crowded. +100 points for free active military admission.

We stopped by this memorial and museum in hopes of killing an hour or so before a flight, and we were pleasantly surprised with how interesting everything was. When we visited, we were able to go into the decommissioned sub as well as go into the battleship. The restorations are beautiful, and you quite literally are able to see almost everything in the battleship in submarine. It was worth the price, but if you’re wanting to learn a lot of history about World War II, you may be disappointed. However, if you want to see military vehicles up close, you will not be disappointed. It was definitely a unique spot and worth a visit if you were in the area.

This is definitely a must stop to visit!!! I'm always so touched anytime I visit military museums and this one was wonderfully set up... from the Korean War Memorial do the museum in the battleship ... you could spend hours here just learning about our military history!! It was a weekday so it wasn't that crowded and there was plenty of parking available. There's a wonderful little gift shop inside and a cafe!

This was one of the most interesting trips I’ve taken my sons on. From the depths of the ocean to way above the clouds, we explored every inch and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. You will be amazed at all the different things they have to look at. We will be back.

$15 admission plus an additional $5 to park gets you lot to see and experience via sea surface warfare, aviation and underwater warfare with tours of the USS Alabama, a WW2 battleship, the USS Drum (submarine) and various aircraft and vehicles inside and outside an air-conditioned hanger, a great place for kids (supervised) and adults alike, expect to spend 3 to 4 hours minimum to look around, time well spent with a gift shop and cafe on premises to cap your visit. Highly recommended!

Interesting visit exploring the ship and the submarine. You can explore so many parts throughout both taking stairs up and down throughout the decks. There is some air conditioning on the inside making it more comfortable on hot days. I’d suggest going during the fall or spring. Also several planes were on display in the hangar. Even avoiding much of the interiors (not a fan of tight spaces) there was plenty in the open air to see. The staff was super inviting! Be prepared to spend $100 for a family of 4 for tickets and a few extras.

The ship was a sight to see and walk. I'd never experienced anything like it before in my life. I got an appreciation for how life could have been on such a vessel. I'd recommend this to anyone. Only wish we had been able to see the bridge up close and personal, but sadly this was not open to the public. Bring your walking and climbing legs.

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.

Just when we thought we’d had every kind of burger out there, this place completely raised the bar. Hands down, the best burger we’ve ever eaten, juicy, perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and packed with flavor in every bite. The bun held together beautifully, the toppings were fresh and balanced, and the whole thing was the kind of meal you don’t want to end. The service was friendly and everything came out hot and fast. Honestly, if you’re a burger lover, you need to try this spot it’s a game changer. We’ll definitely be back.

Saw a fantastic concert Thursday night. Billy Allen, and the pollies. Great show. But very limited seating. I have an ankle issue and it’s difficult to stand for several hours so I wound up having to leave early. They do not have any accommodations for people with disabilities so you need to bring your own wheelchair are seated cane or walker. Great neighborhood atmosphere They did have some seating outside, but no outside sound system

Came here for my boss birthday. Great service and great food. Great atmosphere.

I've been hearing about this place for years, especially about the burgers. I went when they were having the Halfway to Joe Cain Day event. I had no idea how small the inside is. They had a live band so there was no seating on the main floor and the room up the stairs was booked for a party. The outside tables were already claimed so we ended up getting two burgers to go. The staff was friendly and offered to refund the cover charge since we decided to leave. The burger was good when I got home.

Had the homemade French onion dip and chips for an appetizer-totally delicious and perfect for warm weather! Hubby had issues with the texture so he chowed down on the homemade potato chips. Hubby and I both had the bacon cheeseburger (which was delicious) but I want to go back for the LA burger! Pet friendly on the porch, so my dog Keira loved that part!

Great burgers and good draft beer options. They had a live band that was really good. Plenty of tv monitors. with live sports. The appetizers were a little weak. We had fish dip and onion dip. The appetizer selections could use some improvement. Prices were fair.

Tried this place our first night in Mobile. Fantastic burgers and good service even with a completely full restuarant on a Wednesday night. Second time it was a lot less busy and the burgers were again fantastic. The Irish Dip is my next favorite behind the burgers.

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.

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.

The Haberdasher is a renowned craft cocktail bar and gastropub located at 113 Dauphin Street in downtown Mobile, Alabama. Known for its speakeasy-inspired ambiance and exceptional drink offerings, it has become a staple in Mobile’s nightlife scene. Service is typically efficient, with patrons ordering drinks directly from the bar and food from a separate kitchen window. While this setup may be unconventional, it contributes to the bar’s unique charm. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, often offering personalized drink recommendations.

I stopped in yesterday (10/28/25) around 7:15PM and ordered the ribeye (medium rare). Whoever was behind that grill deserves a trophy, a raise, and possibly their own holiday. That steak wasn’t just good, it was life-altering. Hands down, the best I’ve ever had, not just in Mobile but anywhere. The temperature was spot on, the flavor was flawless, and I swear I considered calling the kitchen mid-bite just to personally thank whoever seasoned it. For my side, I swapped the fries for Brussels sprouts (a bold move that paid off big-time). They were roasted to perfection, beautifully seasoned, and might just make me a vegetable believer. All in all, that meal was so good I’m still thinking about it today (at 4AM). And the best part? I have leftovers. Let’s just say I’ve never looked forward to reheating something with this much excitement.

The bartender is an amazing mixologist. He makes delicious craft cocktails. The food, however, comes from a different restaurant, and we order a margarita pizza. It was horrible. But I'll definitely go back for the drinks@

POST is my favorite spot downtown for so many reasons! First & foremost, the staff are incredible! Everyone is so inviting, friendly, and knowledgeable — always open to offer suggestions when you aren’t sure what you want. Every cocktail is well-made — my favorites are the St. Francis, Double-Crossed, and Here Comes the Sun! It’s even better that their food is tasty too! The 504 POST Toast/pizza? *chef’s kiss* The Veggie Spring Rolls & Blackened Seared Tuna are my favorite shareables! Monday nights, they offer “Paint & Sip” and it’s fun to bring some friends, chill, and enjoy Happy Hour! The atmosphere is always perfect for a night out no matter what day of the week it is!

There was only one other table occupied in the restaurant and the server took 10 minutes to approach our table. The server also stood and talked with coworkers for quite some time right beside our bar drinks that were ready to be brought to our table. The servers are clearly more interested in talking amongst themselves than serving guests.

I’ve been to Post numerous times and have always enjoyed the atmosphere—especially since I live just down the street. But during my most recent visit, I had an experience that left me both angry and deeply hurt. Despite being a regular customer, I was denied entry without a valid explanation. The way it happened made it clear that the treatment I received was racially motivated. It was humiliating and painful, especially coming from a place that’s part of my own neighborhood. I’m sharing this because no one should be made to feel unwelcome or targeted based on their race. I hope the management takes this seriously and addresses the issue with proper accountability and staff training. I expected better from a business I’ve supported for so long.

We tried to come here once before and they were packed. This time we arrived early on a Friday, right after they opened. The bartenders were very friendly and we talked to them about the area while they made us some delicious cocktails. We would gladly come here again, but maybe not if they were super crowded, because I liked the laid back, not busy vibe. They have outdoor seating areas in the front and back, as well as a room off to the side that looked like you could spread out. So I could also see snagging one of those areas and hanging out with friends on a nice day.

Good place to have cocktails. Friendly staff and quick service. The food menu is limited and we found the dishes to have almost the same sauce and to be overly salty. Great place to visit in small or big groups.

Great place to have a nice talk and great cocktails after brunch! My pro tip for you is to get "Here Comes The Sun", a sweet grapefruit soda flavored cocktail, with Tequila which also makes it's alcohol level strong.

Sarah is the best bartender! We love this place!! Ice Box is amazing!! Great bar! My wife and I came for a couple drinks and dinner at The Velvet Pig. Sarah was the bartender and she was amazing. Great drinks. Cool vibe. Nice regulars. Can’t ask for much more in a watering hole.

Best new hip bar in town! Ping pong, darts, bumper pool, seven TV's (two outside), on parade route, power outlets at the bar to charge phone, free WiFi, food trucks, live music, great staff and great drinks! (Smoking outside on the patio)

Great bar and restaurant (order your food at the window, then order drinks at the bar, server brings your food while you sip your drink). Located in a former ice factory, The Ice Box Bar is a cool space with lots of cool vibes, super local art, good music, and did I mention the food? Everything is done so well.the menu changes frequently, but there’s always a standout burger, bar bites, salads and sandwiches. None of the food is straight off the restaurant supply truck. They care about what they serve. I had a specialty cocktail that had the proceeds going to a local charity. The draft beers are varied and well chosen, lots of variety. If you see catfish on the menu, get it. Wonderful and tender, with a tasty crisp crust. Even though you kind of serve yourself, it’s still a fun, mellow vibe here that is welcoming and delicious.

Stopped in here on a whim because they had the original Golden Tee machine—what a find! My three buddies and I had just ridden the inaugural train from Gulfport to Mobile, and let me tell you, this spot did not disappoint. The food was banging, the service was phenomenal, and our poor bartender Amanda—who just so happened to be on her first day—handled us like a pro. We definitely put her through it, but she absolutely crushed it. Between the great vibes, killer eats, and that old-school Golden Tee nostalgia, this was the perfect stop. We’ll definitely be back!

Good fun bar, a step up from the average dive bar, they have plenty of seating and spaces to hang out with friends, beer/drink prices are about the same as every other place in the area. Just a bit out of the down town area, but still close enough to everything.

Had a great time there. The atmosphere is incredibly nice and creatively styled. The surrounding neighborhood is charming, adding to the overall vibe. The employees are friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to!

This is a great place to meet people drink eat and you can even bring your dog

We had a lunch reservation for 12:15 on a Friday. We walked in and no one was behind the hostess desk for a few minutes. As a result, I looked around me and noticed how the carpet needed vacuuming. Finally someone came out and was friendly and seated us. We had made a reservation but I thought the place was empty based ok how quiet it was so didn’t mention it. After being seated and noticing tables with better views I asked the server if we could have a better view since there were 4 2-person tables open. We got a better view and then waited for a while for a server to show up. I think they were understaffed because everyone was very personable but it was quite slow. No big deal as we were not in a rush. We finally got our drinks and food and bread. The bread was great with 2 types of butter. The food was good but not quite up to what I expected based on the reviews. I would say this is a great lunch place but I’m not sure I would want to spend the dinner prices there based on the food being more good than great. We enjoyed our lunch and will be back. PS love the $4 mini desserts for lunch. Great idea (see the pictures)

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.

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

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.

Since coming to the United States, I've visited several churches, and this is one that brings me great peace. Here, I feel my soul is completely cleansed. Thank you, God. God bless America. God bless Taiwan.

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.

A very spirit filled parish in the heart of Mobile. I have been to Saturday Mass here several times while traveling in town. Very spacious church with a beautiful interior. Stained glass is very impressive.

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!

Probably more of a kids museum but still some interesting things to see as an adult. Would recommend the nearby USS Alabama for an adult experience between the two, but if you have time this one is worth checking out as well. Just seems more like a kids thing.

The GulfQuest National Maritime Museum was WAY more than we expected! We went on their free Family Day. This museum had 5 levels. There is an elevator, stairs, or a ramp to use for those who various needs. Their hands-on exhibits keep our kids busy. There were short movies to watch as well. Highly recommended if you're in the Mobile (AL) area!

Great staff. Go above and beyond. Very cool and informative place. Could have stayed all day. Good for older kids and tweens. Lots of interactive kiosks. Great information on how our maritime systems work. Great information about E.O. WILSON and our eco systems. Plant and animals that inhabit Alabama. Very informative and educational. Very hands on and educational and FUN. elevator and lots of space. Children's play and rest area. Even have costumes so they can dress up. Staff willing to help. Very nice. Just a wonderful place. I love this place. Would go every day I could. Wonderful awesome place. Bathroom clean. All well kept. Bathroom is all done in nautical bath tiles. Adorable. We bought a two day multi pass battleship and this was included but both have a lot to see and we spent almost four hours at each and still didn't get to see it all. I love the multi pass saves some cash.

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.

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*

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!

Although the house museum is currently open for tours by appointment only, we were able to call in the morning for an afternoon tour. Our tour guide was excellent, giving the history of the house based on the several families that lived there and how they influenced Mobile. We purchased tickets through an All In One 2 day pass for various Mobile attractions.

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.

Just a great vibe here. You can definitely feel the history. The hot dog is a must as that is what they are known for, but other menu items are solid as well. I will always get an order of onion rings. The hamburger reminds of school cafeteria, but in a good way. Service is friendly and prompt.

Historic old place with decor to prove it. Great service even tho busy, delicious food. Had cheeseburger they are famous for with chili. The chili is more like sloppy joe and an amazing addition! Steak style fries were crispy outside and soft inside and delicious. Local art adorns the walls for a unique experience unlike anywhere else and most are for sale! Definitely would recommend.

Best place to get your hot tongs. Especially an upside down dog of where the weenies on top, and all the Goody stuff is, underneath that way, it doesn't spill off the hot, tall, the when's are actually boiled in beer. Some of the best food that you can ever find located near mobile and firmly on old shell road.

We are completely regretful... For not going at Dew Drop Inn before today!! We own a place in Mobile for over 10 years and it's been over 5 years that we told ourselves that we should go... About the saying for Dew's hot dogs being the best: yep! Simply out of this world!! Fully loaded and tasteful. For the record, we were with 2 hungry teenagers (after a nearly 3 miles walk!) and they were full after one hot dog... Also, try the onion rings: clearly hand made with a great pepper zip. If you think A&W's onion rings are excellent, they will be #2 after you taste the ones at Dew's. Finally, the service: warm, welcoming, fast, smiling and doing the extra mile to make our visit a great experience! (We've had home made Gumbo soup samplers that were delicious). After a visit, you will understand why clients always come back at the Dew Drop Inn

Loved the DDI! I had read about this oldest restaurant in Mobile & have wanted to try it. We opted for the daily special, the hamburger steak with gravy. He had Mac&cheese & turnip greens, I had lima beans & mashed potatoes. All delish! We couldn't eat it all! We will be back - next time to try the famous hot dogs!

I have been wanting to visit this place because every time we pass by there is a nice little crowd. We finally got the chance to stop in. I will definitely be going back again. It had a nice atmosphere nothing fancy you felt good just casual and just taking it easy there. Of course we wanted to try the famous hot dogs. They we're good but the onion rings were absolutely delicious! I would be happy just to have a plate of those because they were DELICIOUSLY CRUNCHY! We will definitely be going back there.

It is open for dine-in. The employees were really great. They were so kind. Food is mediocre. If you like unique places to go, this is a good option, as it is the oldest restaurant in Mobile...as such, the interior is wearing down, but the employees did a great job of keeping things clean. I think it's worth going to one time, just for the history, but if I lived in the area, I wouldn't need to go back for the food.

Cool little place and love the outdoor seating. So fun to chill with friends or relax by yourself on the swings and have a drink and some good food. I have been here several times and always treated good, this is definitely a little gem in Mobile. Great happy hour specials and drinks from like 2pm to 5pm.

After trying really hard to find a restaurant that wasn't a chain in Mobile, I came across this one. The food and view were amazing! It was literally the highlight of our trip to Mobile! The Spanish SOS was a great appetizer with plenty! I got the Damn the Torpedos drink, which was very very good. She said that normally they light the toothpick on fire, but just didn't have a lighter that night, which was fine. My entree was the tuna poke bao. It was perfect flavor and pretty light. My husband got the Cadillac burger Viva la France. It had a really good flavor. Overall, very impressed and would go back if I ever went to Mobile again, but probably won't.

Stopped in for lunch after the original spot I was going to was closed, was definitely a sign since this place definitely hit the spot!! Ordered a little bit of everything, all the food came out hot, staff were very friendly and helped with my selections. Inside was a lot bigger than it seemed from outside. Calamari was definitely a good choice, wasn’t overcooked and not too salty, really enjoyed the squid ink sauce. Banh mi was pretty tasty too, it did rip easily when trying to hold it but probably user error. The hot chicken sandwich!!! At first I thought it was greasy when I cut into BUT IT WAS THE JUICES FROM THE CHICKEN!! It was so freakin good!!! 11/10 would order again!!!

Two thumbs up! If you're driving through on i10 make sure to stop for a burger. Their burgers are delicious. They have some really good signature cocktails that include actual squid ink. Make sure to sit on the outside swing tables.

Yikes. The best part of this restaurant are the swing tables outside, however while we ate our dinner, a drunk man came and sat at our table, bothering us. The food was blah and our server, although sweet, had not tried much of the food and had very little input. I didnt finish my meal because it was not great.

Solid vibe here. Amazing happy hour specials, solid (albeit small) beer selection, and a great, welcoming vibe. All I can really ask for. Mobtown chicken bites with Bleu cheese spread were out of this world.

I think I’ve found my new favorite burger, Cadillac Burger with bacon and the spicy fries. John tasted mine but he had the classic burger, in his words “it’s good but yours was over the top”. The atmosphere was awesome, the swing seats out front were cute.

Absolutely blown away by this barbecue spot! The ribs were phenomenal—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The chicken was just as impressive, cooked to perfection with incredible attention to detail. You can tell this is a family-owned restaurant by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the passion behind every plate. The environment is relaxed and inviting, and the people are simply amazing. I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. I cannot wait to come back—this place is a true gem!

The food is delicious. The sweet tea is wonderful. I see why the beans are world renowned. The pulled pork sandwich is impressive. The ribs are delicious also. I see why people rave about this place.

My wife and I met for lunch during rush hour. Staff handled crowd with ease. Love the atmosphere very welcoming. Service is fast and friendly, food is some of the best I've had in this part of USA. These folks KNOW BBQ!!! Recommend trying burger with sweet and spicy sauce. You get your money's worth! All in all this will be a favorite stopping point for my family. BRAVO, MEAT BOSS!!!!

The food here is worth the trip. We got brisket and ribs with a side of mac and cheese and fries. The ribs were amazing. Excellent smoke flavor, perfectly cooked, very juicy. Brisket was also delicious and incredibly moist. Sweet tea tasted like it was freshly brewed. We stopped at three BBQ spots in Alabama on pur trip and this was the best.

Meat Boss is a excellent bbq place in a state known for killer seafood! You don’t think, “Imma head on down to ‘Bama for some ‘Que!” So I have been bitterly disappointed by some of the bbq places native Alabamans have rated so highly. That’s not the case here. They serve chopped pork, brisket and ribs. The ordering is a bit complicated, but the food is as good a bbq as you’ll find anywhere. We ordered the ‘pulled’ pork and brisket, no bun, although you have several bread choices. You can get a little cup of slaw or potato salad, various very tasty bbq sauces, pickles, sour cream, killer jalapeño jelly, and a few other accoutrements none of which detract or mask the savory Smokey meat flavor. The meat is fatty enough to be really succulent without being oily/greasy. All the ‘Que sauces are delicious, but the Carolina and Spicy Carolina (neither mustard based) were the standouts. A word about their potato salad. If you’re used to restaurant-grade potato salad, and can live without it, wait till you try Meat Boss’ made-in-house version. Potatoes are cooked to perfection, then slathered with a mayo/sour cream dressing that’s both decadent and light, with just enough tang to keep your tastebuds clamoring for more. Reasonable prices, super helpful, friendly, and accommodating staff, this wonderful bbq purveyor is definitely on the “happily returning” list.

Amazing food, very sweet staff, wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely return next time im in Alabama.

Saw it on Triple D with Guy and had to try this family owned joint to see what all the hype was about! And let me tell ya, 10/10! Happy people, flavorful food, down home vibe, just everything you need! Love it! Coming back!

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.

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!

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!

Drinks were excellent. I got the croquetas and I was not impressed. It seemed like there was more than ham and Swiss in them and that was a huge turn off for me. I wasn't able to even finish 1 of the 3. We made a reservation and were seated in the vault. That would have been fine if it had not been the Halloween party. We were there for the party but missed out on everything because we couldn't see or hear the DJ talk.

Neat area deep in the Trustmark building. Has 2 large vaults for atmosphere. Bookcase slides back for speakeasy entry. Had nice jazz music 🎷 with sax when we went. If its too loud to talk there are several areas u can move to which are quiter.

It is the first time, and it won't be our last. My wife and I enjoyed the atmosphere here. From the old-world decor filled with history from the past, the pharmacy was really cool. The bartender, waitress, server, buster, host Elizabeth, were terrific! She handles all the interior floor jobs with an infectious smile. The Long Island with the splash of cola on the side was excellent! Because they don't serve tea. The bar drinks are worth every penny. My cheese steak sandwich wasn't what I expected. My wife's sandwich was delicious.

Great sandwiches in a cool space. Our kids loved that Kraft macaroni and cheese was offered on the kids menu.

Historic drug store with mostly sandwich fare. Decent draft beer and wine selection. A bit loud and uncomfortable seating. Service could be improved. 2 bartenders tend the entire restaurant, so pack a patience pill. Overall, a good spot to enjoy as a local hangout.

Decent little spot with a good ambiance. Could do with a menu that suits dinner a little more but what they did was really good. Had a grown up grilled cheese which was really good. I also had a decent IPA and then a very poor beer which sadly I can’t remember the name of but if I’m the area it’s a good spot to have an evening at.

We had a late lunch, which was super tasty! Highly recommend the spicy tuna dip. After the sweetest bartender made me her specialty cocktail… the M.O.M cocktail. Ask for it! It was light and refreshing and packed a punch! Definitely will be back!

Excellent service and quality food. Very reasonable prices.

I've never eaten inside so I can only vouch for the food which is really good. Especially the loaded baked potato with pulled pork on top.

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.

If you love a scam, do not frequent this establishment. The team at TRS is honest, amazing and treats every guest as though they are the only guest. My wife and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary with the TRS family during a time of great duress. My wife’s brother was a patient at a local hospital. I completely flailed on providing a safe place for my lady in a time of great uncertainty. We decided to dine at The Royal Scam as it is directly across the street from our hotel. Upon arrival, we were graciously greeted by the maître d’ and promptly seated in a great location. Lidia and Brian were amazingly attentive to our needs. The chef and the kitchen team prepared an amazing meal for us. Due to my distraction, I did not prepare flowers, lest a card for my amazing wife. I approached the maître d’ about TRS’ main floral arrangement. I was directed to April who, without hesitation made preparations to transfer her arrangement to me for my wife. When in Mobile; you have been scammed to skip The Royal Scam. The service is legit and the food is properly prepared. Will be back. THANK YOU TRS FAMILY.

It started out promising, but my waiter let me run out of tea. For a fine dining (expensive) dinner this is unacceptable. The filet I ordered was over cooked, medium, but was served medium well. My server was polite, but letting a customer run out of tea or a beverage is unacceptable. As a general restaurant it was ok, but as a fine dining restaurant where you dress in nice clothes it’s not passable. Any fine dining restaurant would never allow a guest to run dry and start drinking their fellow diners drink. Also, the bar is adjacent to the tables and the bar tender was too boisterous.

Delicious food and great service. Erica was our waitress. She was friendly, polite and helpful the entire time of our dining experience. My Wife had the seafood gumbo appetizer. She said it was delicious. I had the crab cake appetizer. The crab cake itself was delicious but when I tasted it with the (lemon sriracha aioli) sauce, oh my goodness. I was expecting the normal sauce but it had a taste different than normal sauces and it goes perfectly with the crab cake. My wife had the steak. She said it was delicious. My redfish was delicious. The sauce enhanced the flavor of the redfish. The Brussels Sprouts were cooked perfectly. They were not overcooked and dry or undercooked and raw. They were just right. The rice was not cooked to mush or undercooked. It was cooked to perfection and the presentation was spectacular. When you go, make reservations in advance and ask for Erica as your server. She will ensure you have an enjoyable dining experience. If you like seafood, I highly recommend the Redfish entree and crab cake appetizer. Wonderful location for a date night or a special occasion with a relaxed atmosphere!

We had a beautiful dinner! We had the Hanoi shrimp as an appetizer. They even added an extra one to make it even, normally it comes with three. It was great! I recommend it, especially if you like japanese cusine. It has a spicy wasabi creme, a ginger sauce that was delicious! For main dinner, I had the hidden gem - the ribeye - it was perfectly done! Melt in your mouth perfection! Is not on the menu, so ask for the specials. He had the land and sea, and as well, it was also delicious. Filet mignon and crab cakes. I had the Georgia Belle cocktail. It was fruity and strong! Plus, I had a glass of red wine with the meal. We also shared the bread pudding. It was a bit too hot, but we saved it for a night cap later. Once cooled off, it was delicious! All an all, perfect! Our server was Britney, and she was great, ask for her.

This is our first time dining here, and it was a great experience. We started with seafood gumbo & Soup du hour for the appetizers. The entree for the night was grilled redfish and coffee braised short ribs, and dessert was bread pudding. All the dishes were amazing. We'll be back again to try more menu items. Our goal is to try everything on the menu out. Thank you so much. See you all next time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!

What a great find. The food here was awesome! I had the Redfish and my wife had filet mignon. We both agreed this was the best dinner we’ve had in a long time. Service and atmosphere was great as well

My wife and I ate here for the first time in maybe at least a year!! Our last visit wasn’t their best but we wanted to try Royal Scam out again and it was great and the best dinner date we’ve had there!! The drinks taste perfect!! The shrimp appetizers were something different and were very yummy!! Best crab cakes I’ve ever had in my life!! And our server was super friendly and attentive!! Service and food was excellent!!

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!!!

We had a great experience here the service was above and beyond, The wait staff was super friendly.. 😊 I had 🐟 Black& Maui Maui 🐟 hush puppies and fries. My wife had shrimp 🍤, hush puppies and fries 🍟. Both were good. Also don't forget about the key 🗝️ lime 🍋‍🟩 pie 🥧 for dessert. Check out when they have live music 🎶 🎵 here. Outside sitting overlooks the back waters of Mobile Bay. Enjoy meal.. )-(

We had a great visit today! Megan and Kendall took great care of us. The view was awesome, and the vibe was perfect. My fiance and I split a platter, and we were both full by the end. There's also a nice place to sit that overlooks the water.

We had a party of 8 for the outdoor seating. We paid the extra $5 each to enjoy the live musicians. The music was fantastic! There were 3 dudes playing acoustic and they sounded like Pearl Jam. Why are these guys in a little restaurant and not playing sold out venues? Idk. Anyway! The service was good. Negatives, I apologize for being negative Nancy. For starters, we had to request to get actual silverware that was not plastic. I don't even mean the durable plastic kind, either. It was the REALLY flimsy kind. We ordered the appetizer Peel and eat shrimp which had a terrible consistency. The shrimp was mushy. We didn't know if it was old or overcooked. He ordered the blackened shrimp. Same problem. I ordered the special with a fish upgrade to red snapper(?) With a crabcake and shrimp. This jacked the price quite a bit. It was the same with the shrimp and the fish and everything else was so salty, it made me feel totally sick. I took about 5 bites and couldn't eat any more. Him and I dropped 129 bucks just for us, yet, I couldn't eat it. I felt really bad. I could not even eat the leftovers because, it was just too much salt. We had others who, later on said they had the same problem with it being way too salty- and not eating their leftovers either. The environment was cozy. It doesn't look high dollar, but it was like visiting old friends sort of feel. A little overpriced imo. The gratuity was quietly added because of the size of our party but, that is standard practice in my experience. Just making sure to warn others in larger parties since it was not obvious if you weren't looking for it.

First of all I will just say its a beautiful scenery and the staff was very pleasant. I decided to sit outside at the bar for lunch. It was very busy. My first thought was there is only one bar tender struggling to keep up. He did very u well and was very polite and attentive. I ordered a half n half basket with the fried oysters and fried shrimp with fries. When my food came out I l9oked at the plate and there were 5 fried little pieces of oyster and 4 very small shrimp with a basket of fried. I feel like 16 dollars should have definitely given more food. It was disappointing. The oysters tastes pretty good however the shrimp was overcooked and rubbery. Fries were fine however thats not what I came for.

So know that this review will be coming from a native New Orleanian before reading so that you have some context. Now with that out of the way...GOOD GOD FLAMING OYSTERS!!! They combined the succulent flavor profile of Chargrilled Oysters with the smoky goodness of a good barbecue. In short, the best oysters I've ever tasted! Our server, Hunter, was kind and attentive in spite of dealing with some unexpected restaurant issues that he made sure we as his customers didn't even feel. Next i got the Bluegill platter... with Redfish! My favorite fish fried delicately, seasoned perfectly and presented before me was a true highlight of the meal. If you're in the area, come for the fantastic oysters, shrimp and fish and return for excellent service and an inviting atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

We visited this place on a Sunday. We had a party of 19 (including kids). We had to wait for about 1.5 hours for a table because they dont take reservations after 2pm. The manager was able to get seated after about an hour. There was a large party that showed up right before us. The food was good. We ordered a variety of things. The service was kind of slow, but the waitress was nice and kept our drinks refilled until our food arrived. We waited for a while to receive the check. This was also their concert season, so the band was playing outside.

One of my most favorite restaurants of all time! Been going here since I was 5 years old and they never went wrong with my grilled cheeses or burgers! Absolutely love this place and hope for this place to keep gaining popularity! Added a little photo of when I was a little kid a while back on the inside of bluegill

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!

As a local that has been coming to Butch Cassidy’s most of my life I can honestly say the service just keeps getting worse. I always try to give it another chance but this was the last until they can get servers and cooks who want to work. We were actually headed to dew drop but saw that Butch Cassidy’s wasn’t packed so we stopped. We waited just on drinks for 30 minutes then were told they were out of glasses so it would be a minute. I finally asked for to go cups just to have a drink, My coke had hair in it and I was disgusted but asked for another drink and stayed. We order then it took an 1.5 hours to receive our food. Just as we were getting up to walk out the waitress said our food was coming out. All our food was cold and my daughter’s fries and chicken were so hard she couldn’t eat them. We weee there a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes. I hate giving bad reviews for mom and pop restaurants but this place needs a serious reboot and get back to the way it was. I’m giving a 3 star because I know it’s potential. But, todays service was definitely a one star.

This says this in there about. Low-key hangout known for its namesake burger, plus nachos & happy-hour specials in a compact space. So I told my wife we are going to try this place. Who doesn't love a great burger. So we both ordered burgers. We told our server no pink in our burgers. Well when we received our food it looked pretty good. I loved the onion rings. I took a bite of my burger and it was really pink. I looked over at my wife's burger and hers looked raw. I asked the server if this was safe to eat. She said oh. She really didn't want me to send it back. There burgers aren't frozen. She was acting strange. She said she wouldn't charge for one of my wife's drink. My wife took one bite of her burger and that was it. She said she couldn't eat it. She felt sick to her stomach for 2 days. The place is really showing its age which is ok. It's been around for a long time. They could clean a little better, but I'm really not going to complain about that. Our server was ok. She seemed to be all over the place like over whelmed.

Great burgers 🍔. Staff was very friendly. Food came out really quick, even the server was surprised at the speed of the order. Everything we ordered came out piping hot and tasty. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and the order was cooked perfectly. I had the Butch burger medium and I got it medium, nice job. Very tasty burger with great fries. The wife ordered the prairie burger and she said the fried tomato on top made the burger really good. Glad we found this place, we will return.

My Aunt had talked up Butch Cassidy's and said they had the best taco salad ever but she only ever ordered that. So for my first time eating here, we decided to try the tues special hamburger steak as a to-go order with a side of fried green tomatoes. The good: The green tomatoes are a little thin but seasoned and tasty. The cornbread is the star. I don't normally eat my whole cornbread but I inhaled this one and wished for more. The not so good: The hamburger steak was dry and not very flavorful, which would've been ok if the gravy made up for it. I can't tell if the gravy was good though, because there wasn't enough there to get a decent taste. The greens were so unbearably salty that I couldn't eat it. I can handle eating food that is a bit too salty but these greens were basically a veggie flavored salt lick. My aunts order looked and tasted the same. It could be that they were having an off night or running out of gravy for the special, but if so, I would've rather been informed about that so I could choose something else. If this is their usual portion of gravy, I will choose somewhere else. I'm fairly sure the greens were a one off or no one would order them. I'm going to give them another try and I'm sure I will be able to ammend my review to a better score.

Butch Cassidy’s has a small town country feel. The staff is very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. I normally order the hamburgers. However, this time I decided to get the crab claws and they were awesome!

Eating here since the first week they opened. Great food. Burgers, chicken fingers and buffalo wings

I got the mushroom and Swiss burger and it was very tasty probably one of the best ones I've ever had. If I'm ever traveling down this way again I'll think of this place as somewhere to definitely go to. Everything was cooked to perfection and served nice and hot. Staff seems to be having fun and very friendly. They sat me in a comfortable booth. Long story short nice place!

Another memorable experience, this time for lunch , the fish of the day was Red Fish and it was excellent

Everyone was very welcoming as we were shown to our seat. Seemed like it was going to be very nice. Until our main server seemed to be perturbed by us ordering tea and water from him and not one of, “the children” that would be by with that. He turned away from us in a pretentious manner to prepare our drinks. But instead sent one of his subordinates and kind of just disappeared for a while. Mind you it was not busy at all. We should have sent back everything but the shrimp, mushrooms and the deserts. But we were there for a special occasion and didn’t want to make it any more uncomfortable than it was going. You really can’t mess up Frites. Two gristle filled, tough filets and a mediocre ribeye at best. The potatoes au gratin were super hot and melty on the outside, but cold to room temp. on the inside. Ruth and Chris would have been sorely disappointed in the food quality and arrogance of our main server. What a shame.

The service, food, and atmosphere was fantastic, but my concern is the dress code. I was there Friday night and 2 couples walked in prior to us with shorts and tennis shoes. I was told by the hostess that as long as it has a Heim it's okay, while my wife and I were dressed to the nine. So is it that Ruth Chris now has a dress code similar to Waffle house (no disrespect)? It was a little disappointing to say the least.

It's hard to go wrong with Ruth's Chris. The food is exceptional, the staff is present without being intrusive, the atmosphere is elegant. It has become one of my favorite restaurants, I like how they ask if it's a special occasion when you enter. Whether date night, anniversary, business dinner, birthday, just dinner, they treat you like royalty.

The Ribeye, medium well, was delicious, served nice and hot, hot! The sweet potato casserole was very good. I always love the creamed spinach. And my salad with homemade Thousand Island dressing was fresh and delicious. Fresh French Bread. Awesome bread pudding. The management is always very attentive to their customers. Service impeccable. This was my birthday meal this evening, and it was delicious! I was served cheesecake with fresh fruit with a sparkler on top. I have eaten at this Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Mobile, Al., for 34 years, and I am never disappointed. There are very few upscale dining opportunities in Mobile, Al. In my opinion, Mobile Ruth's Chris is the best in Mobile, Al., for special occasions -- anniversary, birthday, graduation, engagement, you can't go wrong here.

The biggest disappointment with my recent experience at your location today, July 26th, around 5 PM at the back bar. As someone who travels extensively around the world and has dined at several Ruth’s Chris locations, I had higher expectations—especially when bringing out-of-town guests for what was meant to be a polished and enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell well below the standard your brand is known for. • The shrimp I was served were raw, which is not only unappetizing but a serious food safety concern. • The new bartender (a young man) made two drink mistakes, both of which had to be completely remade by a female staff member. • The overall service lacked the professionalism and attentiveness I expect from Ruth’s Chris, especially at that hour when the bar was not yet at full capacity. To say I was embarrassed in front of my guests is an understatement. I chose Ruth’s Chris to showcase a top-tier dining experience, and instead, I found myself apologizing to my company for the poor quality and lack of execution. I sincerely hope this feedback will be taken seriously and used as an opportunity for improvement. This was, unfortunately, the worst experience I’ve had at any Ruth’s Chris globally.

First time at Ruth’s Chris (anywhere), and what a great treat it truly was. Our waiter Greggory was beyond impressive. Amazing recommendations with a wonderful personality. Everything we tried was far more pleasing than expected, and rich in flavors. The room we were seated in had a comfortably elegant atmosphere. Looking forward to returning in the future! Thank you to the whole staff.

We dined outside on a beautiful night. Cool spot to people watch. Our waitress was super personable and offered great menu guidance when we asked. We started with chips and the trifecta: queso, guacamole, and salsa. I’m not normally tortilla chip obsessive, but their chips are thicker than most and were very obviously fresh. The queso…so good that I’d have gladly chugged the bowl if I didn’t fear the scorn of my easily-embarrassed-by-mom 10-year-old. Our kids ordered from the kids menu. They were both pleased with their choices - chicken taco for one and cheese quesadilla for the other. The kids’ plates each came with their own chips and queso, as well. I opted for 2 street tacos - jerk chicken and al pastor. Our waitress said she gets an al pastor every day she works. After tasting it I saw why. The meat was ridiculously tender and flavorful. Probably one of the best Al pastors I’ve ever had. My husband got the torta de carnitas. Based on the speed with which he inhaled it, I’d say it was a big hit. We didn’t venture in to the salsa bar, as we were moving minimally after a long day at the beach. But apparently we missed out on quite a selection.

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.

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.

The best thing about this park is being on Mobile Bay for the sunsets and the wildlife - pelicans plunging for fish, the occasional alligator in the water. The lots are flat and paved, with full service outlets (electricity, water, sanitation), and a laundry on campus. The restrooms were extremely clean but oddly spartan - for example, no trash receptacles in the stalls in the women's rest room. You can hear the noise from Hwy 98 at this park. Great for a couple nights while exploring the Mobile area.

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!!

We stay at state and regional parks frequently, and this is a favorite. Great views, spacious sites, and lots of interesting local attractions - especially Battleship Memorial Park. Plan to devote at least 2-3 hrs to touring the USS Alabama, and be aware there's lots more. Great place!!

Nice small cozy place in the middle of downtown Mobile. Alabama service is outstanding. Food is pretty darn good too. They have optional seating outside or inside. Seafood gumbo is pretty darn tasty. The burgers are excellent. The services true Southern hospitality, smiles and laughter all through the building. Don't forget to sneak around back of the building and get your photo with the wings painted on the back door

We were encouraged to go by one of the staff at our hotel and it did not disappoint. I had the Tony's special(fish and grits) it was so good that we went by again after checkout to have something to eat on the road. Delicious.

Best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had. Staff was super friendly and food was served fast and hot. Great little spot to grab breakfast for a great price- highly recommend!

Absolutely great food. Mushrooms are the best we have ever had. Gumbo was awesome. Definitely if your in the area stop by.

We happened to find this gem by chance. The food was delicious and the service was top notch!! Kevin our server was exceptional. Next time I’m in the area I will be back for some grits!

They've not gotten my order correct either time i've been there. Don't try to make changes to the menu item, thats how they make it. Hard wood seating so bring your own cushion. The fries were good.

Nice little spot. They had indoor and outdoor seating. It can get busy. Staff was super helpful and attentive. Large portions. I will be coming back to try different dishes that I got my eye on!

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.

If you are looking for a cozy place to enjoy a great Italian meal give this place a try. Great for a date night. I'm guessing the menu changes every night. FYI if you're expecting complimentary bread and salad think again. They have a nice wine and dessert menu. We had the Shrimp & Crabmeat Genoese and Chicken Marsala. Both excellent. Tiramisu for dessert. This was a last minute decision on a Monday night so we called and made immediate reservations arrived and were seated pretty quickly.

Make a reservation to ensure avail table.l and review board for menu or online only. The place is small and loud due to small place and close proximity of guest and tables. The wine was great. My chicken was cold in spots, the lasagna was good and piping hot. Dinner for 2 around $110

Fantastic food, great ambience, and good wine selection. Prices were as expected for the type of establishments. Only thing is the chairs in the courtyard were uncomfortable! Definitely going back, though!

Definitely one of my favorite spots for a dinner out, harder to get into in recent years so definitely recommend a reservation. Brought in a friend down from Tennessee who also worked fine dining in our younger years and both were extremely happy. The food was excellent as always and simply love the consistency of this place. My guest loved it just as much if not more. Been a long time fan and look to many more years here at Via Emilia!

I’ve been coming here for years. Last night was the best so far. I had the Pan Seared Unicorn, I’ve never had a better piece of fish on the coast! It was SO buttery & savory. I thoroughly enjoyed that. My girlfriend got the lasagna and she enjoyed that as well. Both of our dishes were hot and fresh! Our server was quite friendly and attentive. Of course the restaurant is small and that’s fine, doesn’t bother us one bit. Will absolutely be back! Thank you guys for a wonderful meal!

If you want quality food and service, do not show up past 7:45. We called because we wanted to be considerate and make a reservation. We made our reservation forty minutes before closing time. They called back and informed us that they closed at nine. Okay, so first problem- the restaurant needs to specifically make their last reservation for 7:30 to give their customers time to eat and their kitchen the 40minutes it took to make an app and 2 entrees. To have the hostess call us back to let us know they close at 9 was absurd. She said someone forced her to call us back and tell us. Again absurd. This was confusing because there is absolutely no hustle in getting the food out, and no attentiveness to the tables. We literally sat there for over 10 minutes waiting for our server or any server to take my money so I could leave. So we arrived earlier than the reservation time. The appetizer took an easy 20 minutes from the time we were seated. They were out of multiple apps……..The appetizer was cooked throughout.; there needs more sauce on it. So it was friend green tomatoes, a plop of red peppers, and a couple of random Romain leaves. They were seasoned well but were dry. The chicken parm style- good chicken portion but I asked for extra sauce because the sauce always soaks into the breading. The pesto pasta should be called pasta with a pinch of pesto. The pasta was dry and cold and reminded me of what you would feed a toddler at dinner to prevent a mess. I asked for more sauce so I could eat my pasta in which I was told there was no more red sauce. How do you run out of a staple component that goes with half the menu????? Or is it that they just refused to heat up anymore red sauce? The zucchini was apparently the reason why our food was held up. We must of had a special edition because the zucchini was black as night. It easily took 30 minutes to get our food. Again, the phone call was completely pointless because it was the restaurant who lacked any hustle in ensuring they would close at 9. The dish has potential to be a great tasting dish…… it definitely missed the mark. Had they informed me before I ordered that they were out of red sauce, I would not have ordered this dish. The eggplant Emilia- everything was cold except the eggplant. Apparently, the midnight edition zucchini held this up also. However, the eggplant was executed well. It just had nothing else to compliment it on the plate because it was cold…… The reviews looked promising and I may try it again one day but it will not be on my dime and definitely…. Can you guess what I’m about to say? Not be Past 7:30. Service- inattentive, don’t expect refills, and good luck finding your server. Credit card fees- they charges us a 2.75% fee for using a credit card. Nobody said anything nor is there anything stating this in the restaurant. At least inform the customers before they sit down and give them the option to pay cash. Also, it’s really loud in here so anyone who has hearing issues, may not enjoy sitting inside. Parents that bring their babies to date night, you may want to come an hour before the babies bedtime. Your baby will not sleep, and you won’t get to eat. Overall 2.5 but not close enough to 3 stars. Overpriced.

Eh. Its ok. Really wants to be fine dining. Located near USA campus. A bit overpriced but the college kids do not know better concerning the quality or price. Also there are a few items featured on the website that aren't on the menu.

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!

Gorgeous venue I attended for a beautiful wedding. Inside and out was immaculate. Would definitely host special events here and would love to go 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 !!

This was a lovely hime with an interesting history.

Great first experience! Delicious crawfish. 3lbs of crawfish, pound of potatoes, corn, and sausage for $19!!! I ordered all 3 flavors mixed together. It was a little salty, but still good size and flavorful. Texas needs to take note of these prices!

The fried shrimp and fish were great—the portion size was generous and they tasted delicious. However, the dining table felt a bit oily. Anyway, for a temporary visit to town, it's worth a try.

I don’t know why I’ve lived in Mobile my whole life and have never tried this place. I asked Facebook friends for recommendations and everyone suggested mudbugs. They were right! It was fabulous. I ordered online which was fast and easy. I got the steamed shrimp lunchbox special and my spouse got the fried shrimp lunchbox special. Pick was fast and easy as well, my food was ready at the time it was promised. The employees were friendly and the place was clean. I was blown away with how much food you get for such a great price. We will be back.

Food here is awesome! Great serving size and prices. Staff forgot to dehead my shrimp so they gave us another half lb deheaded and skinned for free! Super nice helpful staff. Don't have to wait long for food either.

If in doubt, just dive in.... It's really good! All kinds of seafood.... Raw, steamed, fried, etc... No spice, spicy, overly spiced and hot(cooked fresh). Don't forget the desserts. Trust me... Reasonably priced, cooked to order and delicious.

I have been shopping here since they opened and have NEVER had anything but a positive experience! The selection of seafood is great, the freshness is certainly evident and the staff cannot be more accommodating! Their delicious menu is certainly worth sitting down and staying awhile! Who doesn’t enjoy a delicious seafood feast cooked by the pros?

We stopped at Mudbugs on our way to Florida and we absolutely loved it! We ordered the boiled crab and the gumbo and it was incredible — perfectly seasoned, fresh, and packed with flavor. This place is a hidden gem for seafood lovers. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Great service and live music.

Everyone always has a great time, no matter how old or young you are. Great service, drinks, and atmosphere make it a go-to spot that always has good bands playing.

This is our go to spot for a few drinks and live music. One of the oldest spots in downtown Mobile and it is still going. No matter how packed or crowded it might get, there has never been any negative issues and the staff are always friendly, personable, and working as fast as they can. This is a popular spot during Mardi Gras and Beerfest.

Love this place on Karaoke nights with Joe and the Bar ladys are super awesome! Give em a visit. You can also come here Wednesday through Saturday and have a good time. I thoroughly enjoy visiting this establishment. They don't have food but there is a restaurant next doo.

Cool spot to grab a drink.

We went to enjoy the evening out and music. They had a good band playing and served good drinks. It was a little crowded but the crowd was fun and enjoyable. Seating was limited so get there early!

One of my favorite bars.. last of the old-time Honky Tonks.. always good live music.

We had such a lovely meal at Pour Baby. The server, Madeline, was an absolute expert. She and the other staff took great care of us. The carpaccio was super tasty, loved the fried capers.

Went for our anniversary. We got the sliders as appetizers, the 16oz ribeye, the chicken Marsala, and finished off with a caramel cheese cake. The sliders were well seasoned and tasted delicious. The chicken Marsala was good. The ribeye was good but a bit fatty and could have used more seasoning. The cheesecake was the best we’ve ever had!

I couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out my birthday weekend than dining at Pour Baby. The food was absolutely amazing, and the drink and wine selection was equally impressive. Our server, Hannah, was incredibly friendly and did an amazing job keeping up with all of our requests and orders with such ease and professionalism. My friends and I felt so well taken care of—the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group of seven, making the entire evening truly memorable. Thank you for an amazing experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EPICALLY DESERVED FIVE STARS Pour Baby is hands down one of the most phenomenal dining experiences in Mobile — and honestly, anywhere. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance of stylish and welcoming. The service? Absolutely top-notch — attentive without being overbearing, genuinely kind, and you can feel the passion for what they do in every interaction. The food is on another level. Each dish is crafted with creativity and care — from starters that set the tone, to entrées that truly blow your mind, to desserts that leave you speechless. Every bite was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and honestly unforgettable. Add to that a wine selection and cocktail list that are on point in every sense — curated, thoughtful, and full of incredible options to fit any mood or pairing. And just when you think the experience has peaked, the desserts arrive and take things into the stratosphere. Rich, decadent, perfectly balanced — the kind of sweet ending you wish you could hit “repeat” on. Pour Baby is more than just a restaurant — it’s the full package: amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing people, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Mobile is lucky to have it, and it deserves every bit of praise it gets. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

Wow. What incredible food. I went here after failing to get into Texas Roadhouse, and I was not disappointed. Setting was great, the wine was great, the service was great, and the food spectacular! I don't know where they get their ingredients from and what school the chefs went to, but the food had me giggling like a toddler. If there is one spot to try in Mobile, this is it. This is the new standard for excellence. Update 2/1/2023: I went again last night, still fantastic!

Attended a retirement party there with friends. It was a great worry-free experience. The wait- staff is phenomenal, and as one of the other guests said " the only place that serves true Chef-prepared meals in West Mobile." This was our first visit, but not our last.

The entire experience was pleasant. From being seated, to our waiter introducing herself. Taking our drink orders, food order.. just making sure we were good on refills etc. the drinks were amazing, the food was GREAT! I’ll definitely be back real soon.

FINALLY! Great Pizza…. My new home. 😋💕great vibe, amazing wine selections and wonderful personable professional people who take care of you. Coming back very soon! Best place for a wonderful experience! Thank you Bridget and the whole team that waited on us this past weekend. Coming in on Oct 2 for my birthday to eat everything else we missed 😎

The Red or White Mobile is a good and reasonable wine store, but they are a lot more. There is also a very cool wine bar and a restaurant. The service is excellent, very friendly and attentive. The decor is nice and the food is great as well. The portions are also pretty large so watch how much you order. A really nice spot for dinner.

My favorite place to eat in Mobile! The specials are always fantastic. They also have a great wine selection in the wine store and are super knowledgeable. We’ve found many of our new favorites here!

Had the sloppy joe pizza, supprisingly good. Nice wine selections to pick your own bottle. Great little area its in also with lots of parking.

Great visit the first time around! Awesome customer service and a great selection of wine and other accessories to choose from. Wine served by the glass or bottle (does include cork fee). Pizza was delicious and will return to try another one. Dates wrapped in bacon, stuffed with blueberry goat cheese, topped with valencia almonds was a treat.

We stopped in just to look around and check it out. The smell of pizza and the look of the pizza oven made us stay to get one. I had a beer and my wife had a glass of wine. Everything was excellent. The staff was friendly to us and asked if we needed anything or were looking for anything in particular as soon as we came in. Once we sat at the bar the service was friendly and quick. The pizza was delicious, I'm sorry that I didn't get a picture of it to share. We heard them talking about and setting up for a wine tasting, but we didn't have time to stay for too long. I'd gladly come back here and next time I'll look beforehand to see if they have any tastings or events. Nice space and friendly people.

Atmosphere was great. Wonderful service. Wood fire pizza was good. Margarita pizza was a little soggy but flavor was excellent! Pate was wonderful!

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.

I went to Roll Mobile. It was great plenty of vendors to look at and shop around. My kids had fun skating on a road for the first time 😁. They should do roll mobile more often.

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.

I’m not sure why this place has such great reviews. We ordered the "special," which was a brisket sandwich with cheese, bacon, and fries, but there was nothing special about it. The brisket was dry and bland, the bacon was overly salty and undercooked, and the overall meal was disappointing. To make things worse, our server seemed more interested in chatting with other customers than checking on us. The prices were also steep for what you get - $20 each for the special felt unreasonable. I wouldn’t recommend dining here.

Stuffed Bakes Potato was very good had all the fixings. Great location looking over Beinville Square.

My coworkers and I were in Mobile for a conference and wanted to experience some Alabama BBQ. It was tasty, and hits the spot when you want BBQ, but it is nothing out of this world. I ordered the pork sandwich with coleslaw and pickles. Never got the pickles, but the sandwich was jam-packed with meat and coleslaw! The seasoned fries were perfectly hot, crispy, and not too oily. Cute restaurant on the inside. Very friendly and attentive staff. I had a problem with my order and they were kind enough to remove it from the bill and offered to remake it

Great bbq in the heart of Mobile! I got the pulled pork sandwich and baked beans and they were both fantastic. They make their own sauce, which I really enjoyed too. My only complaint - weird hours… at least for a bbq place. They only serve breakfast and lunch (close at 2:00). When I asked about the hours, they said they mostly just serve the downtown lunch rush, which makes sense.

I always look at reviews and read good things. BBQ sounded good. Left office, short walk, nice day. Waitress was helpful. Asked for the brisket French fries. Looked good when placed on table. Started to eat and the outside was barely warm. Start going to the center and not even close to hot, and barely warm. Waitress asked how was it and I said good but cold. She did say they could redo the order, but I was more than half done. Disappointed.

Stopped into Cotton State BBQ's new location last week and ordered the dry rub chicken wings. If im speaking honestly, these may be the best dry rub wings in Mobile. Theyre delicious and worth the price! Overall im really digging the new location. Its got a good feel to it. Plenty of seating. Unique art, super clean bathrooms (a huge plus). Kris and Joanna are the two servers you'll most likely deal with. Theyre both at the top of their game. Quick, efficient, accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly. If youre a regular, they'll remember your name and usual order. A nice personal touch. They'll tend to you immediately and regularly Food did not take long to come out at all. Came out hot and just the way I imagined it. Perfect stop if youve got a short lunch break. 10/10 experience.

Cotton State BBQ was delicious! We experienced the Downtown food truck.The BBQ sauce is an award winning recipe and I will tell you I don't really care for too many bbq sauces but this sauce was bomb! The crinkle fries were seasoned and actually crispy! I get dissapointed with crinkles usually because they aren't crisp enough. My family loved the cheese fries and brisket fries!

Truly a dining experience that you’d expect to find somewhere like New York, but it’s right here in a cozy, historic Mobile neighborhood. We went for a celebration and enjoyed a 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings. Local farm/surf-to-table cuisine prepared by a real chef…not a cook. Tasting menu (see photos) changes based on what’s in season. Oyster selection was very good.

Very humble yet elegant place. It’s a perfect place for a quaint unfussy meal— to catch up with an old friend or host an intimate celebration. I went on a lunch date with my husband. I got the hanger steak and eggs; he got the flounder. I have no complaints, the service was great and the food was delicious. The hanger steak was perfectly medium rare and the flounder was also cooked well. I liked the blue cheese butter with the steak, but I think a peppercorn sauce or some light gravy would have tied it all together. I also thought the flounder dish was clever, it was cooked southern style with a twist: fried with a light cornmeal crust, swimming in a sweet savory Thai curry sauce. For me, the highlight of my meal was actually the oyster bisque. It was very delicate and savory. The morels gave it a very earthy taste paired with the gulf oysters the flavors was reminiscent of a surf and turf dish. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They were also very accommodating; my husband asked if they could do mocktails. The server asked what he was feeling and he asked for something savory and fruity. They took the time to craft a unique and refreshing drink for him. I thought that was awesome!

We had the most amazing brunch today! I can’t believe we hadn’t found this place yet but we will definitely be back! That salmon was chefs kiss!!! If I had to critique anything I would say the crème brûlée was slightly over torched but it was still amazing!

A pleasure for the palette The biscuit service is a must ! The crab cake was perfect It did not have unnecessary ingredients The peach salad was a warm summer evening delight The hanger steak and hash was a beautiful blend of mouth watering flavors Unfortunately, I was too full for dessert Our server was a delight Very attentive and conscientious Perfect summer on the patio

The lion fish and crab cake lacked a distinctive flavor signature. The ambiance and service were great and we really enjoyed the pineapple upside down cake and prosecco. The menu is probably 25% too high in price. I recommend developing some dishes with stronger taste profiles.

Excellent food. Very confident in the chef and server to meet dietary restrictions. I will be returning soon without a doubt.

We finally visited The Hummingbird Way last night. We ordered the tasting menu, and the flavors were exceptional! I was particularly impressed with the wine pairings. I don’t usually enjoy white, but all of the selections complimented the food so well. We also had the BEST server! She was attentive, professional, and polite. 💕(We had the Wagyu as our main. I forgot to take a pic of the pork course, which was my favorite.)

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.

We stopped for a quick bathroom break on our way home from the beach and ended up wishing we could stay longer. Nova had immaculate vibes, shady trees, a great outdoor space with a taco truck, and zero wait. The cortado was perfect—smooth, balanced, exactly what I needed. Solid spot all around. Would recommend!

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!

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

I was visiting Mobile from Atlanta for 4th of July weekend, well I end up going twice to this modern/ cozy place, I have to said their quality was just like anywhere here in Atlanta , my favorite are cappuccinos and I got two different “Baristas” and you can tell both are in sync with quality of their coffe specialties ! they nailed them down perfectly, creamy /tasty and strong !! They have pastries too but on the small size though , but they were delicious!!

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!

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!
