    Shrimp/ seafood gumbo
    Gail B.

    If you're looking for authentic Southern comfort food in Mobile, Alabama, Sam's Southern Eatery is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm Southern hospitality and the tantalizing aroma of freshly prepared dishes. My husband went with the small seafood gumbo and it was a really good! I opted for the grilled chicken salad. The portion was enough for a second meal. The service is quick, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming--perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone craving a taste of the South. Overall, Sam's Southern Eatery delivers on every level: delicious food, hearty portions, and a true Southern experience. It's no wonder this spot has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. If you're in Mobile, don't miss out--Sam's Southern Eatery is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise!

    Tried this for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. The interior is nothing special and comes across as just a fast food restaurant. You order at the counter and service your own drinks. This is fine for a quick lunch. The service at the counter was friendly and helpful A++. The food was very reasonable, I ordered grilled fish and shrimp which came with 2 sides for about $10. It included grilled onions and peppers and a small "salad". Everything was delicious and I will be back.

    Food was good, I thought it was all Southern Food & Seafood, but you can get burgers, sandwiches, & salads as well. This location used to be the Taco Bell on Dauphin Street, I think it has been open for 1-2 years, first time getting food here. My sister got a Double Cheese Burger Meal with Hush Puppies, my husband and I both got the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches. Food was good, the Red Beans & Rice were great. The Shrimp Gumbo was awesome, sorry my picture does not do it justice. I think Sam's Southern Eatery is a small chain based out of Louisiana, which has the best food, in my opinion. There were fountain Coca Cola Products, Sweet Tea & Unsweetened Tea that is brewed. We went inside to order, the menu seemed larger than what was available on the website. The drive thru is always busy. Just a FYI you might want to ask them to go easy on the mayonnaise on your sandwich.

    Decided on takeout at Sam's Southern Eatery. I ordered the family platter of 20x shrimp - grilled, red beans & rice, and jalepeno poppers. For our first ever meal in Alabama, this restaurant was amazing and on point! We ordered for pickup and drove there 10 minutes later to find our order was ready.

    Handsdown, this is some of the best seasoned fried and grilled seafood in Mobile Alabama. The red beans and rice were so flavorful as well as the green beans. Must place to go.
