    BEST HOT WINGS IN MOBILE, hands down. I always get the 7 or 12 piece hot wings plate, but their other food is great too.

    We drive to Mobile every six months to get our LEXUS serviced, and always look for a place for…read morelunch. Our query for a seafood restaurant led us here, and at first glance almost decided to leave. The seating was minimal and we had to walk up to the counter to order. While waiting, we realized it is primarily a seafood market and take-out orders for cooked food were the main business. But the reviews were great, so we gave it a try. We were amazed at the quality and quantity of food we got. An order of crab claws and shrimp came with over 40 claws and about ten shrimp, all fried to perfection with the best tasting breading ever! The atmosphere was like old time New Orleans, on the wrong side of the tracks. But relax your snobbish standards a bit, and enjoy your seafood the way it is meant to be served!

    Customer service was horrible. White girl at the counter act like she did not want to wait on me…read morewith a nasty attitude. Ordered crabs and shrimp steam with corn and potatoes. When I got in my car, a fly flew from up under the aluminum foil that they have covered the food with. And it smelled some awful. When I got home and tasted one of the crabs about to taste one of the crabs it smelt like ammonia I immediately called and told whoever answered the phone that I was bringing it back. And when I got in, they tried to tell me that they could not give me my refund. And I told them I would call the police. And they reluctantly gave me my refund.

I was in town for work and came here three times in two days. I've lived in New Orleans so I know good fresh boiled crawfish and this place delivers. Very flavorful crawfish. I got regular level of spiciness and it was plenty spicy so I don't need to know what it tastes like if you order it extra spicy. Not only that, but their shrimp is freshly fried and tastes fresh and from the gulf. And the okra was hot and freshly fried too. Delicious meal. Service is friendly and nice, and food usually came out under ten minutes from when I ordered. Got charged different amounts each time I went but it wasn't a big difference.

    Some of the freshest crawfish I have had all season and they were seasoned to perfection. The…read moreturkey neck by far was the best turkey neck I have ever had. Not over seasoned or over cooked and the meat was so tender falling off the bone. Broccoli, boiled eggs, potatoes, corn, and sausage were all delicious and seasoned perfectly. A ton of food at a really great value. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Plenty of inside seating and tons of drink options along with deserts options. I will definitely be back next time I am in the port city.

So for the oyster sampler , we got 4 each of Rockefeller, chargrilled, and something else that had parmesan cheese on it . Then i ordered half a dozen fresh wild caught oyster . Then ordered another half dozen. They tasted so fresh ! The teen had cajun pasta which was also good and they came in the good size for lunch. I will be back.

I should've listened to all of the advice from the locals on Reddit, who warned me that this place has fallen on harder times. The char grilled oysters were funky. I ate them but worried as I ate them. The hush puppies earned a star. They were pretty tasty. The were my favorite thing on the table. However, we asked for butter, and our server gave us packets of butter substitute. Doesn't this restaurant have real butter? The gumbo was fairly tasteless and also, they had chopped up whatever seafood was in there so finely that it all just turned into mush. If there was any seafood in there, I sure didn't taste it. The West Indies crab salad was a shocking disappointment. It was a scoop of crab meat, which they ruined by mixing it up with mayo. That's it. An ice cream scoop of canned crab meat mixed with heavy mayo. It's like they didn't even try. The bread pudding left very little impression. It was a little rectangular square. Our server misunderstood us when we said we wanted it topped with ice cream, and served the bread pudding alongside a bowl of five scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. It was a very odd dessert situation, but we worked our way through it. Our server was an amusing fella. He kinda/sorta made the evening. Overall, I'm glad I went so I could know for myself. However, I do wish that I had listened to the locals on Reddit.

    West Indies Salad is a specialty native to Mobile. It's a cold, lump crabmeat salad marinated in oil and spices for 24+ hours. Yum!
