We stopped here as part of a road trip back to South FL from Texas. My son and I were craving crawfish after a great experience in Mississippi and this place did not disappoint. It was a pretty charming place, when you walk in there is really friendly and knowledgable staff that walk you through all of the fresh seafood sitting in front of your eyes to pick out and they take it straight back to cook. We did the Boiled Crawfish (Cajun), Crab Claws (my fave) and steamed shrimp that were super large and delicious for a very very reasonable price. I will definitely repeat if I find myself anywhere close (we went 20 minutes out of the way this time) read more

My husband and I love their Royal Reds! We shop for frozen royal reds that will travel well with us back to New Orleans every time we pass through Alabama. This was our favorite so far. Price was great and the shrimp were the best we've had yet. This will be our new stopping point from now on! read more

This is as good as it gets for take home crawfish during the season. They do have a section for dine in however with the long lines it is very loud and spicy crawfish normally require a few beverages and who wants to leave their meal to stand in line for another drink. I've also ordered them live for home boils and you can't beat the prices for our area. read more

Great place to eat , Best sea food in town so far . Me and my family is new here and we're hooked on this place. read more

Place was extremely clean! Smelled like bleached oppose your the fishy seafood market. We did the combo 5 which had the shrimp, snow crab and sausage. The crab legs and shrimp was fresh and had had great flavor. The sausage was not a hit to to the sodium level. Overall great place and great customer service to dine at! read more

Fantastic discovery. If you love seafood and you love Cajun then this place is worth your time. Very fresh and flavorful!

Stopped by this place at the recommendation of a family friend because they said the crawfish were better than where we had been going and I have to admit that they definitely were! Visited about 4:30 in the afternoon and at first wasn't too crowded but gradually they started getting more and more crowded, found out they close at 7:30 which is a bit early down here. Got their 10# special which is 10 pounds of crawfish, 5 ears of corn, 1 pound of potatoes, and 1 pound of sausage which was more than enough for my immediate family and some of my extended family. Food is great, delicious, popping hot, but since they are so popular you have to get there early! Also if you are not into crawfish, they have pretty much every other kind of seafood plus chicken if you have a picky eater in your party. Will definitely be coming back on the next trip. read more

Placed our order first thing when they opened in order to ensure pick up would not be delayed. Waited for 40 minutes past our pick up, while they continued to serve everyone else that came in after. Personally, when you have 3 hours to prepare the order, there should never be any excuse as to why it isn't ready! Unacceptable. Then to suggest they could cancel our order if we chose?!?!? Seriously!? We ordered for a reason! It's game day, people! read more

They could be a little more personable / inviting , but the food was good . customer service was just " hurry up & order your food & get out my face " type of vibe . read more

This place is huge! Great selection of seafood - we ordered their Gumbo and Oysters/Shrimp lunch plate. The gumbo was very good, not spicy so I added hot sauce. Tried & loved their fried okra, hush puppy & oysters on my friend's lunch plate! (I didn't eat the shrimp because they were not deveined). There was more than enough food in the box for both of us. Reasonable prices compared to Gulf Shores. read more

Mudbugs - At the Loop - It's 55 dollar. The portion is really big! Four people can be fed full! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

The place was ok. Nothing too special I guess. I got the #1 combo with medium spice. Maybe it's just me but the potatoes were a little large for my preference. The corn on the cob was good. Overall would I go back again? Yeah to try something else. One note though. I wish they had a soda fountain instead of buying a bottled or canned soda. read more

After seeing Mudbugs for sometime now I decided to give it a whirl. They have an excellent seafood counter that was well stocked with large collection of fresh fish also. Will be back for this but on to the food review. I ordered the 3 selection dinner and chose shrimp, fish and oysters . Oysters were the best of the three. Second was the fried founder. And coming in last was the fired shrimp. The portion was humongous and could have been slit between two people. At $25.99 seemed steep but to split it would be a great value. Was let down on the fried shrimp, Small and un-cleaned. This was the reason for 3 stars. Next time I will try their steamed selections. The prices are higher than my usual go to at The Seafood Shop but will try them anyways. They offer a speedy take out, they are well organized, clean and staff was super friendly, hard working and very helpful. Staff gets 5 stars hands down. Overall good experience and will be back. read more

Great place to eat food was amazing and very reasonable priced. Everyone left stuffed. Great service very helpful when looking for stuff to do as tourists. read more

This is the only place in town that i would get my crawfish from! They make them just right, buttery tasting, just enjoy spices, not too salty like some places I've been to before. Unless i cook the crawfish myself this is the only place i would buy from in Mobile, AL. I would suggest to call your order in and pick up because they are alway busy read more

This place is great! Fresh seafood that is prepared on the spot for you. Royal Red shrimp steamed are the best. Portions are big, so don't order too much! The restaurant is very clean - especially the bathrooms. Met the owner and she was very nice to take a few moments to visit with my family as we stuffed our faces! Have visited twice on the way to the beach and will definitely be back! read more

Cross country driving! Left Port Charlotte Florida and set off to the white sands national monument in New Mexico.. had to stop for a snack, and duh GUMBO! Holy cow.. I wish we had these up in CT where I'm from. The gumbo is absolutely awesome... Even reheated over a fire a couple nights later ;) ... The lunch box shrimp and fries were amazing as well! The shrimp were plump and juicy and spot on!!!! I love that they weren't those tiny stupid shrimp that often appear on fried shrimp dishes! Great portion sizes for the $. Customer service was quick and friendly! Ambiance is fun and laid back. I hope we cross paths again!!! read more

Best crawfish in town! Get them by the lb or by the bag. Also a great selection of fish and other seafood. Always fresh.

We were both going to order a lunch portion of fried oysters & crab claws and the cashier recommend getting the dinner portion it was enough to feed 2, she was right!! It was fresh and tasty just the way it comes. This is definitely going to be a regular spot for us!!! read more

Stopped here on the way back to NOLA from Pensacola. Yelp brought me here on a crab leg search. Friendly people. Ordered crab legs shrimp sausage corn and potatoes. It was okay. They seasoned it weirdly and put butter on everything. Too much butter. After we got back on the road stomach pains came and stayed all night. I just wanted some good crab legs. I don't know what went wrong. read more

The staff is helpful and super efficient. They have some of the best seafood and crawdads you can buy. Always my number one spot whether it be live or cooked crawfish. read more

Great crawfish! I was too stuffed that I didn't even try to corn, sausage or potatoes. I will be back!

Holy portion size! Obesity lives here. Do yourself a favor and split with your family of five. Options are steamed or fried, opt for steamed. It also smells like fish in there (duh) so don't plan on going out afterwards. read more

As a Crawdad connoisseur, I pride myself on knowing the really great places to get perfectly cooked spicy crawdads around the region, I have tried many places throughout the region and most fall short in flavor and / or texture. Knowing how long to cook the crustaceans makes for a perfect mudbug, providing the seasoning is correct. Mudbugs at the loop does a good job, I have had there bugs on many occasions and as they are not my first choice, they do not disappoint. read more

My husband loves this place!!! It's definitely not fast food, everything is made to order. The staff is always friendly and it's always clean read more

The best crawfish I've had yet. Better than anything on the causeway and other crawfish places in Mobile county. Seasoned well and great prices. Their garlic butter is a game changer. read more

Fantastic we got fried catfish an 2lb shrimp. Very good. Customer for life if i am anywhere near mobile i will stop in for lunch or dinner. Shrimp cooked perfectly, catfish cooked perfectly, new orleans style fried. 5 stars. Better than deannes in downtown new orleans!!! read more

Great fried crawfish tails and okra. Only 2 hushpuppies! Huh? All was delish. Excellent gumbo. Just know that if you arrive after 6pm (we got there at about 6:15), you should probably take it to go. By the time we figured out what to order and then got our food, it was 6:40 and we were eating while they were cleaning up and shutting down. While no one was rude ( they were very polite) we realized we were in the way. We split a dinner and gumbo between us and it was wayyy more than we could eat. We'd do it again, but order lunch to split and arrive well before 6pm. read more

Good food and plenty of it! Order and pick up to eat in or out and no frills at this family style eatery! Really enjoyed our visit and couldn't finish my crawfish po boy! Yum! read more

I'm a crawfish lover and I have always loved this place so i was shocked by how gross my food was the other day. I spent $85 on crawfish and 2lbs of Dungeness Crabs that I barely touched. My crawfish were extremely hard and the tails were really discolored. It looked as if they may have been frozen. When i finally got them peeled and tried to pull the tail out I also noticed that they were dry, rubbery and super hard to pull out. So after all that disappointment I'm just hopeful that the flavor would be amazing. Well the crawfish were disgusting so they all went to waste. I was aggravated at this point so then i decide I'll try my Dungeness crabs and maybe those will make up for my huge disappointment and money i spent. Man was I wrong! My crabs taste very bland and without any seasoning at all. I feel like I threw away $85 on food that never got eaten and then had to spend more money going out to find some decent food to fill me up. I don't know if I'll be returning due to a total was of time ( i live 45 minutes away) ( the wait in line) and money on food that's inconsistent. read more

In town for a few weeks and I have gone here twice already. The crayfish meal is awesome, 3lbs of bugs, sausage, potatoes, and corn for 15 dollars. The would easily be a 40 dollar meal for two in California, I was sooooo good. 2nd time was just as amazing. I had #5 1lb snowcrab and 1lb shrimp with all the same things and onions. I will be back a few more times before I leave. read more

Every time I come to Mobile I do not miss the opportunity to pay a visit to this place. The food is always fresh. The service is quick and straight to the point. The prices are pretty decent as well. You're missing out if you do not visit this place if you're near the area. read more

It's called the tackle box. Your choice of fish, fried oyster, and fried shrimp. Out of this world. Fried to a perfect golden brown. Even the fries are good. There's a light dusting of spice on top of this plate. Hush puppies you actually pay attention to. Crispy outside, flavorful soft inside. No where as greasy as the boiling pot. Huge servings. Still the best boiled crawfish in the whole friggin' city. Period. Done. read more
