Neighbor's is a diner-like restaurant that's a bit off the beaten path. There are daily specials that seem to attract quite the following. By the time we arrived, a bit after 6:30 pm, the chicken and dumplings were sold out. We ordered chicken fried chicken (which came with 2 sides) and a fried shrimp salad, (a dinner-sized) green salad topped with lightly fried shrimp and lots of croutons. While it took a bit of time before the food arrived, portions were quite generous, and the food was tasty. My husband said the potato salad and slaw were both on the sweet side, but he enjoyed them and the fried chicken. Service was very friendly. Payment is at the front counter, and there's a small surcharge for anything other than cash. After seeing reviews of this restaurant on Yelp and elsewhere, I thought it might be a good choice for us. I'm glad we went. read more

Well the AYCE Fried Chicken got me again. What's wrong with me? I ate way too much and am suffering for it. When will I learn? The chicken was fabulous the sides were as expected, only set back is the mac and cheese is not as good as the rest, but everyone needs an Achilles heal, and perfection would just spoil me. Luck was on my side as Chris was our server again, that guy is tops. We had no complaints at all, did over hear a conversation at the next table where he had to substitute pot roast for an entree that was sold out (after checking with the customer for the sub) and he took that off the bill. Customer requested he not because he was so helpful, but he made another excuse and did it anyway. That my friends is why I tip him so well, (he got more on this 43 buck meal than the gal on my 175 tab last night, and she didn't get shorted) he is a super star and makes the visit better just by being himself. I hope his folks know how he is outside of home and are proud. Somebody raised him well. Bottom line, if you are looking for great home style cooking and no dish washing, this little gem is the spot. We used to get take out but with the service we receive why bother washing plates. Highly recommend. As you can see my newly added picture has a bite out of my chicken, I couldn't wait. read more

Neighbors - Goodness - Seafood Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

6.5/10 - old family diner with good southern food I thought all the food was super flavorful, and we all came home with leftovers. Their breading was A+. Really enjoyed the fried chicken! And tried fried squash which was actually pretty good. IF you like chicken gizzards and livers, my friend said they do them right. The gizzards aren't too tough which is apparently a problem. Everyone was very nice, but it was a little bit slow. read more

A colleague and I had lunch there today. Country cooking, seafood etc.. I had a sirloin steak with gravy, cabbage and red beans and rice. It was all tasty. Service was a little slow but very pleasant. It was lunchtime and there was a line out the door. We had to wait but it wasn't an unreasonable amount of time. Definitely a neighborhood gem worth visiting read more

Great country soul food. You must eat the fried chicken before you try anything else.

Very good seafood especially the shrimp and fish great sides bake beans, potato salad are my top 2 and good fried chicken

Great food and great family atmosphere. If you like fried livers, theirs are good. No

Before hitting the road back to Birmingham , we decided to stop here for dinner. Their menu is massive which made it hard to decide just what to order. I knew I wanted seafood so that helped to narrow down my choices. I ordered the fried shrimp dinner with coleslaw and fried okra as my two side items. The meal also came with hush puppies. I absolutely loved their hush puppies! My sister ordered the fried catfish dinner and my mom ordered the bite size shrimp dinner. We got our food to go since we were needing to get on the road. This might have not been the best idea as I feel the food would have been more enjoyable dining in. We still enjoyed our food , nonetheless. All of our meals were prepared fresh and the portions were HUGE! I forgot to mention that I also ordered a small gumbo..... I wasn't crazy about it so I didn't eat all of it. Like I said , we all enjoyed our dinners but next time I will request my shrimp to be fried hard. Otherwise , the seafood was really fresh tasting! This restaurant offers daily specials and even has some all you can eat options. Which is in addition to their already vast menu. All of the staff were extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed before heading back to bham. I really enjoyed the homestyle feel of this restaurant and would visit again if in the area. They seem to be very popular! read more

Good food to go! This place is so close to home and we haven't eaten here just because it's not "new and exciting" but this is proof places don't have to be. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Very good southern fried chicken plate! read more

Neighbors - Fried chicken Fried okra Mashed potatoes - Seafood Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Don't miss this place if you crave great, crispy fried chicken. It's an older converted fast food restaurant so the interior is spartan and clearly they do a big take out business. We had fried chicken and fried shrimp--to explore both specialties. Both were outstanding. Fried crispy but meat remained moist, not dried out. The sides were superior. We both got Lima beans--really butter beans--really delish.. The slaw got a thumbs up and I thought the blackeyed peas were exceptional. Table service was just fine. And for the quality, quantity and price--a good deal all around. read more

I'm not really sure about Neighbors; I've eaten there a few times with my family, and the food has always been a little bland in my opinion. But, the service was good, as the employees are incredibly nice and friendly. I'll give it 3 stars. read more

Food was delicious! Hubby had chicken fried steak and I had chicken livers. We had cabbage, mashed potatoes, fried squash, and baked beans for sides. Yeast roll was tasty. read more

All of our food was cold at lunch today. Service was okay. Won't be going back!!! Restaurant was not crowded by any means. Meal came out on time, but cold. How does that happen?? Not service but kitchen likely culprit! Terrible!! read more

Delicious and friendly. Honestly wish I lived nearby. I would love to have tried the all you can eat but I had fries and a cat fish Poboy. Both were fantastic. I appreciated that they didn't have the music loud either. I will be trying to come here next time I drive through for sure and will go out of my way for it. read more

Gumbo is great! My only wish is that they would offer more grilled items and not all fried.

Stopped by Neighbors tonight for dinner. The restaurant has spacing appropriate during the pandemic. My husband had the oyster dinner and I had the popcorn shrimp dinner. My popcorn shrimp dinner was delicious. The oyster dinner was over fried. A disappointment for sure. All sides were delicious!! read more

All things considered Neighbors is my favorite "country cooking" place. The service is always very good. The prices are reasonable and the food is always hot, fresh and delicious. Can't ask for more than that. Their fried chicken is some of the very best. read more

Good home style cooking. Hard working waitresses. Fair prices. I have been here several times. 2nd to Judy's. Nothing fancy.

Country cooking and great hospitality describe this down home restaurant. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a smile and a menu full of choices from chicken livers to seafood platter. We chose the flounder dinner and Chicken livers. The waitress suggested the all you can eat flounder which came with three veggies. The chicken livers came smothered in gravy and I added black eyes peas. The food was good. The livers were great but the fish just ok. I really liked the sweet tea too. It wasn't very sweet and the waitress kept the glass full. The fried chicken seemed to be a huge hit and the chopped sirloin looked great ( I was spying on my neighbors). Check 'em out if you're in the area. read more

Excellent seafood vegetables, chicken and dumplings all around. Great atmosphere. most visit neighbors. Highly recommended.

We stopped in Mobile Alabama for the night and this place was close to the hotel. Amazing food! I got the fried shrimp with fried okra and turnip greens. Shrimp was fresh with a crispy, flavorful batter. Turnip greens were nicely braised with perfect seasoning. Fried Okra was nice and crispy. Hubby got the fried chicken with cheese grits. He loved everything as well. The cheese grits were delish!! Definitely recommend! read more

Always my go to place for southern comfort food as it's close to home. Great fried chicken and catfish too, even gizzards and liver! Sides are good especially red beans and rice with okra. Great place for seniors as well anyone watching salt intake as they go light on salt, but better to do that to taste anyway. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Yum, Yum, Yum, there's nothing else to say, just YUM! PoBoy's and Crab Claws are delicious! Coleslaw is consistently delicious! The food is seriously, YUM read more

Love love love!! Country/homemade when you don't want to cook. Cabbage is awesome and serving sizes are always nice!

Food is good they need to change the grease!. The grease taste like fish grease which is unexceptional but I guess customer service and down south hospitality is really not a thing in the south read more

Everything was delicious and the service was fantastic! The next time I return to visit family, I would definitely go again.

I was passing by and decided to try this place for dinner, plus they had a drive thru. I decided to get the seafood combo, I got shrimp and crab claws with cabbage and mac and cheese. I must say that cook your food to order so expect a little wait if your going thru the drive thru. But it's worth the wait to get hot off the grease fried seafood. My crab claws and shrimp were fried just right definitely not over fried. I decided to get Tatar sauce instead of cocktail, the tartar sauce was sooo good! It tasted like a dill tartar, I believe they made it themselves but it tasted like a tartar sauce I'm familiar with.. I'm thinking Ken's but any hoot good tartar sauce. Also the portions of seafood was kind of small for the price. The cabbage wasn't bad just needed a little salt and pepper. The Mac wasn't bad just needed some sprucing up ( you know). Overall, not a bad little dinner. I'll try again when I'm in the area! read more

Really like this place. The wait staff have always been really nice. The food is good. Love the yeast rolls. To easy to eat to much.

We were asleep in our seats on the way to Louisiana. Found Neighbors on the map & are really glad we did. coming from CA, it's nice to be greeted by a smile & a sit anywhere! I had a fried pork chop with white gravy, cheese grits & Lima beans that took me back to a friend's home in grade school. My husband had the fried shrimp dinner & couldn't finish it all. Highly recommended! Will stop back by next trip. read more

Good country cookin. The drive thru is incredibly slow, especially during lunch time. The 3 vegetable plate is $6.59, and the portions are pretty generous. The okra was crispy and delicious. read more

Chicken is great! Chicken fingers and burgers. Meat and three veggies. Get the Mac and cheese and greens, rolls are great. Great for lunch. The all you can eat chicken and veggies is a good way to go if you have an appetite. You can "reorder" more chicken and different veggies as you go. This place stays busy with old folks so you know it must be good . read more

Great food. I was not expecting such light and not greasy fried food. The po boy sandwiches were amazing and the turnip greens too. Great value and service. read more

Food was OK. Not great. Even though there was a lot of chicken and fish in the Gumbo it was plain. I'm not sure it was made from a roux. Roast and mashed potatoes were unremarkable. Service was great and everyone was very friendly though. read more

The food is good, the hospitality is truly southern, and even more you will leave full! We really enjoy the catfish and the fried chicken! Everything is brought out in a timely fashion. And it's nice that you have the option of drive thru, where you still get the same great service. It's worth it in regards to the prices! read more

First time dining here, casual with a hometown feel. Diverse menu options crab claws to gizzards. Fairly priced fare. Servers are cordial and always checking to see if everything is prepared accordingly. read more
