This rating is for servers. My daughter and I were looking for hot cocoa and coffee on this cold winter afternoon. The gentleman working was so kind and made us our drinks! He was super kind and welcoming! The drinks were perfect -- the temperature was just right, so we could drink them right away, which we needed since we were cold! Super clean establishment and friendly staff. read more

We made it to Mobile. After this stormy drive, Bae and I buzzed in for a quick night cap. Of course, you are empty and ready for some orders. We got the conecuh sausage and chicken gumbo, since I no longer can enjoy shrimp. Shockingly you are really tasty but a little to Spicy. I can't handle you, but Bae likes you a lot. For entrees, Bae got the pasta. He full, but says it's good. I got the Joe Cain 12 inch, comes with chicken, bacon, spinach and mushrooms with a white sauce. Yummy! Our service was great. Y'all already know, I could come again. Hands down. read more

Didn't think much of it. We walked in and sat down and got some waters and then never saw our waiter again. Hard to say if the food was good or not. The place is relatively small and is really a typical hotel bar setting. Will not have to go back again. Menu wasn't as good as I had hoped. read more

The food is not consistent and the service could be better. I've had the beef brisket melt, gumbo and the chicken and dumplings. The beef brisket is very dry! The gumbo taste different every time I get it and the chicken and dumpings was straight creamy water with no substance. Zero dumplings or chicken. The last time I had the gumbo the server barely put rice in it and the sausage was freezer burnt tasting with a weird sour taste. read more

Great food and great service. My first visit and it was absolutely amazing. A must try and now for me a must have

We ate here on 12/12/2024 with a party of six. We entered and were quickly greeted by our server Ashley, who was very helpful kind and efficient. We each had a drink or two at the table. I had the strawberry lemonade, which I would recommend if you like sweet drinks. I had the cajunlaya pasta which was a delicious pasta dish with lots of yummy cheese. Four of the six people at the table shared two large pizzas, which were generous in size and delicious. We all felt that we would return to this restaurant again in the future. read more

Amazing food and service! Very chill atmosphere. When going to the restroom we ventured off and explored the most gorgeous hotel I have ever seen. read more

A Thursday night and it appears they were way short handed. See my last review. The waitresses were running but in the weeds all night. We only had and apppetizer and beer wine and we were there 90 minutes. Not a stellar visit. read more

A cafe located adjacent to the hotel and we were here twice, once for drinks and once for dinner. It's serviceable for both but it's not what I would call a solid choice for "date night". Mostly it's a place where you just want to get something in you thats not too far above the usual bar food. Service was good enough. read more

Joe Cain's is great for a snack, sandwich, AND drinks. Ask for Margie! Friendly and welcoming to MOBILE. FUN.

The food is decent if you are looking for something quick. I ordered a small pizza for my kids, and it was pretty good. I got the shaved prime rib, and it had a good flavor but was messy and not very warm. I got the pasta salad as my side, and I really liked that. My friend got the Turkey club, and it was mediocre at best. The server was very straight forward, which I appreciate; however, there were several parts of our order was messed up. We almost did not eat there because the menu is very small, and we watched as several people came in order drinks or nothing, then left. I think it would be a fun place to have a few drinks and hang out. read more

Joe Cain Cafe - After a long day, I am starting with a cosmo - Pizza Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Walking in one sees a very pretty bar. Service was friendly but this place has the feel of a fast food quick turnaround place. We ordered pizza. Took a long time and we soon realized why that was the case. Though the cheese was melted and there was appropriate charring of the crust, the pizza was not hot. It was just above lukewarm/room temperature. Heat lamps could help to keep food warm while the food is waiting to be served. Flavor was good but would have improved with warmer temperature. read more

Holy Shitake! The Mobile Mushroom pizza was absolutely phenomenal! I was in town for a conference for work and needed some dinner one evening but was having a hard time finding a place that would have vegetarian friendly options for me. I saw this pizza on the menu and figured I'd give it a try but never expected it to be so delicious! The service was also great as my server did a great job of checking in on me without overdoing it. read more

My first visit to Joe Cain Cafe wasn't the greatest, but thankfully my second visit offered redemption. I usually (and randomly) find myself at The Battle House in need of late night bites. Joe Cain saves the day, but I wish they offered better (or craftier) drinks. The staff is friendly and quick to expedite orders. The prices are great! The pizza is friggin' delicious, and the hummus is divine. I wasn't a fan of the club sandwich, but overall, Joe Cain Cafe is a solid 3.5. read more

Went for drinks ands snacks last night, here for a meeting. Gumbo was delicious, pizza was ok. I wouldn't go there again just for the pizza, and aside from the gumbo there was only one other dish that was "southern." The service was good there were a lot of people in for the meeting so it was busy but mostly busy with people there for the meeting. At its heart it is still a hotel bar off of a hotel lobby but it definitely meets the needs if you can't or don't want to go out. read more

I was impressed by Joe Cain Café. The roastrd shrimp and vegetables wrap was delicious and came out fast ans hot. The shrimp were large and delicious. Also the staff genuinely made me felt welcome and appreciated. I'd recommend trying Joe Cain Cafe if you haven't already. read more

This local pub in the Battle House hotel offers great service and excellent mixed drinks. Not sure about the food. Cool atmosphere.

The pizza is what to get here. Everything else we have tried is hit or miss. Service is pretty quick for lunch rush.

It really breaks my heart to write this review because I wanted to love Joe Cain's Cafe but I want to make sure my fellow consumers are aware when they visit. The restaurant is beautiful! Even the outside is nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful during an enormous lunch crowd that seemed to gather here during a conference. I ordered the CBR pita and my friend got the lunch special pizza for only $10 (it was HUGE). All the food looked amazing. Here's the bad part... when I bit into my CBR and began to chew it was something hard in the food. I spit it out into my napkin and it was a piece of marble looking tile. Yikes!! I'm glad I didn't swallow that. My friend called the waitress over and gave her the piece of tile in my CBR. She sincerely apologized & offered to make me another but I opted not to and decided to eat some pizza instead since it was huge. The manager on duty came to table and deeply apologized. She also had a freshly made CBR for my troubles. I gave them 2 stars because of the great staff and delicious pizza. However, objects in the patron's meal is very unacceptable for me. I could have suffered if I would have swallowed that tile. read more

***** 5 Stars for Margie at Joe Cain Cafe in Mobile! We traveled from North Carolina and Florida to surprise our brother on his birthday. Margie was in on the fun and got a video of him walking in to the bar and slowly realizing that his sisters were sitting in the corner. She was so nice, helpful and fun. It helped make the night even more special. The food was good and hopefully we'll be back to visit again! read more

If you're hungry, this place does the trick. Reliable menu with all the basic favorites. Hours are longer than most other restaurants in the area which is why we chose it. There are definitely better places to eat in town but if you want a quick meal that is not fast food and won't let you down, I recommend it. We had the veggie wrap and turkey club, both of which arrived exactly as described on the menu. There is also a full bar with local beers on tap and a cocktail menu. read more

Ordered takeout. Pizza was good and wings were as well! We will definitely swing by again on the next tip down!

So, we spent the night at the Battle House for the Dauphin Street Beer Fest and just out of convenience, had some drinks and dinner at Joe Cain. Great choice! Service was really good despite being busy with pre-gamers and it was a pretty lively atmosphere. I ordered the pot roast tacos and, man, were they delicious!! Pretty simple presentation-2 tortillas filled with really good beef pot roast, topped with horseradish cream and pickled red onions. They were fantastic! I even went back after the beer fest and ordered another round. That good. Seriously. The only reason they got 4 instead of 5 stars is the price. For $11, there really should be 3 tacos. Either way, they were still amazing and I'll get them again next time I'm there. I do loves me some tacos and these definitely hit it. read more

The sandwich I had was soggy and cold. I ordered the prime rib beer cheese cheese stake. It was cold and slimy. I was not impressed with this 12.00 sandwich. My wife got the half sandwich and half salad. She loved hers. But I wasn't a fan. Seemed overpriced and food was just okay. read more

We decided to eat here after an event over the weekend. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was honestly impressed with the food. My hubs ordered the hummus to start us out. Hummus is not something I would typically order, but I would totally order that again. It was well seasoned and was garnished with arugula, roasted tomatoes, and olives. It was served with toasted French bread chips and pita slices. For my entree, I ordered the prime rib sandwich with melted provolone and au jus sauce. It was phenomenal. Chief Slacabamorinico himself would've loved that sandwich. I had fruit as my side and it was a variety of fresh melons and grapes. My hubs ordered the shrimp tacos and they were flavorful as well, and the salsa they gave him to pour on them was exploding with delicious flavors and just the right amount of kick. He also ordered two drinks, Basil Hayden and Sprite. Our total tab was about $57 before tip. The interior of the restaurant was very sleek and modern. I love that each of the tables where we sat had electrical outlets on the side of the table so you could charge your phone while grabbing a bite to eat, or so you could charge your laptop and work while enjoying lunch. I can definitely see us eating at Joe Cain's Cafe again. read more

My co-workers love to go over for their pizzas. So despite the negative reviews, we decided to order takeout from Joe Cain Cafe for the first time. We soon found out that they had changed their menu in April 2015 and removed the Chicken Cheesesteak and the Herb Roasted Pork panini we were going to order. So we chose the Seared Tuna Wrap and the Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Flatbread instead. When I got back to the office, my tuna wrap was a tuna sandwich, on dry toasted wheat & no sesame dressing?!? I called and spoke to Candice who looked up our order and agreed that they had messed up. The wrong item was brought back, Candice apologized for their error and happily exchanged it for the right order. No problem! Mistakes happen but I really appreciated the way their staff handled the complaint. Back to the food, we both really enjoyed the Seared Tuna Wrap and the Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Flatbread. They were $12.10 each with tax included; a little pricey but it is downtown. read more

Crowded but convenient night spot in Mobile. Pizza was okay- nothing to run home about

Stopped by for dinner and a drink. The place didn't seem busy, as we had no trouble finding a table. Waitress greeted us within 5/10 minutes and got our drink order and app. After about 15 minutes I suggested we should go, but my party said we already ordered drinks so it would be crappy to just leave. Another 10 to 20 minutes go by and the waitress comes back and apologizes and asks us what we ordered for drinks again. So during that 30+ minute time frame after ordering our drinks, she just checked out and didn't return for almost half an hour. We apologized (even though we shouldn't) and said we were just going to leave. Can't comment on the food or drinks itself as the service was so horrible. The environment is old and kind of dirty, definitely has been a decade or so since the last renovation or cleanup. Food was smeared on the walls by our table and there were a lot of gashes in the walls, so overall I wasn't impressed from the get go and the experience didn't leave me wanting to return. read more

We wanted a quick bite while staying at the Battle House hotel and didn't want to leave the building because it was Mobile's coldest night this year. We ended up splitting a pizza. It was nice that the staff let us do that. I had the caprese pizza. I'm normally a Margarita pizza kinda guy and this wasn't far from it. I wish it was a little more affordable pricing, but all in all the food was good and worth it. The staff was nice but I wouldn't say overly friendly. It was getting later though. Overall we had a great experience. I wouldn't say this is a destination place to eat, but if you are in the area, it's a solid option. read more

Joe Cain Cafe - Blackberry Martini - Pizza Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

The greatest cuisine can be found in downtown urban areas. Most cities promote locally owned; my favorite over a large commercial chain any day. While in Mobile, Al I found Joe Cain Cafe next door to my hotel. Great table and bar seating with a historical flair. The menu consist mainly of bar type food, i.e pizza, flatbread, soups and sandwiches. Oh and did I mention a large selection of craft beer... I'm in! I ordered their gumbo and a salad. Let's face it, salad is salad. But that gumbo, now that was "smack your mama" kind of good! It had just the right heat, not too spicy. Perfect choice for a cool night. I did eye other customer's choices, and I must say the pizza looked delicious. Hopefully, I will be back in town again soon to give it a try. read more

Joe Cain is a perfect spot for me considering I work in the RSA Tower and they are located in the bottom floor. They are a Mardi Gras themed restaurant that specializes in hand made pizza, sandwiches, amd cocktails- all of which are created by the restaurant and change frequently. Their pizzas are out of this world! My go to lunch order is the mixed green salad which comes with goat cheese, strawberries, and pecans. For an additional cost, you can add chicken, seared tuna, or shrimp. I highly suggest the sesame vinagrette (so good you could drink it almost!). You're not going to get out of here at lunch for less than $15. If you're in the area and have a little time, stop in and enjoy some great food and amazing drinks. Bedding to catch a football game? They've got TVs too! read more
