We love places like this. Mom and Pop owned, friendly service, unique location and a running train…read moreto see. On the menu today was the shrimp boil plate, bbq pulled pork sandwich that you can get as a combo, gumbo and shrimp bisque. So we got everything!! The shrimp boil plate was impressive! Loaded with well cooked and seasoned shrimp, corn, sausage, and potatoes. It comes with cocktail sauce and a seasoned butter dip. The gumbo was fantastic and meaty but the shrimp bisque was fine dinning! So good! Our son had the sandwich and he let me have a little taste. Nice sweet tender pork on a soft bun. Right up his alley. Great prices too. The Shrimp Lady is delivering high quality food with friendly service from a cute and modest location. A must try and if we lived closer, it would be a regular stop for us.

The shrimp lady is very friendly…read more Her hot shrimp gumbo is delish, full of flavor. No pretense. Even bay leaves found themselves in the gumbo. The shrimp bisque is also delish. It's a white sauce kind. I take a way one star cuz they ran out of BBQ sandwich and it's only 1PM. In addition to home cooked gumbo the lady also sells fresh shrimps caught from the Bay. I saw some frozen crab meats, fish such as flounder, salmon, amberjack and Mississippi catfish. This is not a formal sitting down diner so don't come in expecting a typical restaurant experience. But the food is authentic, honest and full of love.

Amazing food with exceptional friendly staff. Recommend the grilled oysters and crab patties. Dylan…read morewas an awesome server.

We had dinner at Wintzell's Oyster House on Dauphin Street in downtown Mobile. I enjoyed it. I love…read moreoysters and I'm glad we went. This is an old, well-worn, local institution. According to the menu, the restaurant originally opened in 1938 during the Great Depression. The fact that this place is still open after all these years tells you all you need to know. We showed up with a group of eight on a Friday around 8pm. There was a wait and unfortunately, we had to be split up into two separate tables. We saw two open tables that they could have combined for us, but they didn't for some reason. That was disappointing. We got beer on tap at the bar while we waited. Cold and refreshing. When we were finally seated, service was a bit slow. That was disappointing too. Our server was fine, though. You can get oysters several different ways here, from Rockefeller to Monterey, and raw or fried in a po' boy. I prefer raw oysters so ordered one dozen wild-caught and one dozen farm-raised. Turned out they were out of farm-raised so I had only wild-caught. The oysters were fresh and delicious. They tasted clean and I had several with and without lemon juice, cocktail sauce, and horseradish. The horseradish was nice and strong. Yum. Some of the oysters had shell fragments, which was annoying, but I'm not too surprised with that at a casual, volume establishment like this. Now if this were a fancier place like the Hummingbird Way Oyster Bar, I might be pickier about it. I also had a side salad while my tablemates chowed down on dishes like Wintzell's award-winning seafood gumbo ($8.99 per bowl) and the "special" crab hushpuppies basket ($9.99). I could tell this place was popular with both locals and visitors.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch after touring the USS Alabama. We were told the wait would be…read more30 minutes but checked open table and could immediately get a reservation. (I recommend doing that, especially during lunch.) One of my good friends sent recommendations. My husband got the French dip. I hesitate calling it a poboy because I'm from NOLA, and outside south Louisiana, it's just a sandwich . I got the grilled shrimp lunch special with fries. Honestly, spend a little more and get the platter. I'd get them fried, but I can't have gluten. I risked cross contamination and got the fries. They were absolutely worth it. Fortunately, I didn't have a reaction. Trevor was our server, and he was excellent. You could tell he knew the regulars and locals based on how he'd approach new diners. He also gave really good recommendations. The vegetable of the day was a casserole, and Trevor told my husband that was better than the fries. My husband inhaled that casserole. If you're an Elvis fan, request to sit at the table. Overall, I'd definitely come back. For being on Open Table, just know this is a casual restaurant on the bay. Nothing frilly - just good, southern cooking. We will be back!

This spot has a really charming atmosphere and definitely nails the "cute coastal" vibe. Service…read morewas a highlight--staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. That said, the food was a bit of a mixed experience. The chargrilled oysters unfortunately came with quite a bit of shell, which made them difficult to enjoy--though we did manage to find some actual pearl in there, so small win and fun! The grilled fish and shrimp were noticeably overcooked, and my husband's fried shrimp leaned the same way, lacking that fresh, tender bite you hope for. Sides were decent but didn't particularly stand out for my grilled dinner. Husband said slaw and hush puppies were good, my green beans were delicious. Overall, it's a lovely place with great service, but the kitchen execution didn't quite match the setting. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a standout spot.
