Overall, the food was above average (hushpuppies and small shrimp on poboy were not impressive)…read more The main problem was they messed every order up resulting on upcharges on everything. We ordered Catfish Platter (brought Catfish and Shrimp) with Gumbo (they also brought onion rings no one ordered in the basket). Upcharges on that were 15$ including tax and tip. Ordered Red Snapper (brought Snapper and Shrimp). Upcharges on that were somewhere around 6$. They made no offer to correct it other than to "give a free Calamari next time we came". Why would I want to go back and worry they would do the same thing all over again?

I was visiting family in Montgomery and they love this place for fried seafood. The inner and outer…read moreappearance definitely leave much to be desired...and this of course led me to believe that the food would be fantastic! No, really. I can appreciate a place where all of the money and talent is reflected in the food itself. It was "eh". They use plain fishfry- kind of bland and not much seasoning. I ordered fried shrimp and flounder with french fries. The shrimp were large, butterflied and battered. Pretty good. The flounder was fried with the plain fishfry. Not sure if there were spicier batter options available. Fries were very plain and basic, nothing special. The good news is everything is cooked to order. Also it's fast and cheap. If you're on this side of town and craving fried seafood, go for it!

When I was looking for food while stopping at Montgomery, I found out about Capital Oyster Bar…read more It's a bit secluded but being located right next to the water, it's definitely a nice place to enjoy a casual lunch! It seems like a decent amount of locals frequent the place as well. I had their fried seafood platter - which was shrimp, oyster, fish, fries, and onion rings. I definitely enjoyed the food!

As a party of 1, I moved inside to the bar and was immediately taken care of! Also, the grilled fish seems like it is steamed, then maybe put in a grill for the lines.

Next time will just sit at the bar from the beginning & I'm sure will be a 5-star experience

We stopped in for a late lunch after the 1:00 rush of state employees cleared out. It was "Seafood…read moreFriday" for us on a business trip, and Wintzell's ended up being a solid choice. We were greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and seated without delay. The atmosphere was welcoming, with a lively mix of badge‑wearing state employees and locals. The décor could use a refresh--several bar stools looked mismatched--but the overall vibe was relaxed and comfortable. Our server, Jason, set the tone for the meal. He took our order promptly and struck that ideal balance of personable, attentive, and never pushy. Food We ordered the Fried Jo Platter, side salads, and cups of gumbo. Side Salads - 8/10 A pleasant surprise. Instead of the usual iceberg chunks, we got mixed greens with grape tomatoes, served cold and crisp. Sweet Tea - 2/10 Easily the low point of the meal. Strong but oddly flavorless, almost indistinguishable from unsweetened. We even confirmed it was supposed to be sweet. Gumbo - 9/10 Outstanding. Made with okra rather than filé, packed with shrimp, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. As a gumbo lover and amateur chef, this was on par with homemade. Fried Jo Platter - Crab cake: lightly fried, moist, and succulent - 9/10 - Fish fillet: fresh‑tasting and flaky - 9/10 - Shrimp: well‑seasoned - 8/10 - Scallops: cooked as expected - 8/10 - Hush puppies: exceeded expectations - 9/10 Everything tasted like it came out of fresh oil, with a light, well‑seasoned batter and served hot. Service & Value Jason delivered excellent service throughout the meal. Portions were appropriate for the price, and the Jo Platter was generous enough for us to split. We've visited several Wintzell's locations, and this meal was definitely above the norm.

Got there at 5:25pm and there were at least 15 people at the hostess stand. Hostess seemed lost....would struggle to get the ext person seated and didn't ask if anyone had reservations until about 5:40pm. When she did about 12 people raised their hands....we all had 5:30pm ones. Got seated around 5:45pm; waitress was prompt and friendly - she was the only highlight. Got our appetizer with our dinner that came out at three different moments about 10min apart. We didn't get our food until about 6:45pm....horribly long wait. Good was not very good; certainly not worth what we paid. My chicken bienville was tasteless and the chicken tough and chewy. The side of fried okra and sweet potato fries were good though!
