    Sheepshead special.  Absolutely incredible.  We ordered the small plate so it is not the full size entree.
    Coleman O.

    We can't say enough amazing things about this restaurant. The food is incredible and the service is always on point. Across the alley they have SouthBar which also serves from the kitchen if you are unable to get a reservation in the restaurant. We ate at Southwood last week and everything was delicious. We ordered the Pork and Watermelon for an app and the Diver Scallops as our meal. My 13 year old ordered the filet, and she gobbled it up! Service was great making our experience incredible. Kudos to once again making our dinner truly amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    A wonderful meal and terrific service by Brittany. Our reservation was for Friday at 6:15. The parking lot was pretty full but easy parking. The hostess greeted us and brought us straight to our table in a room in the back of the restaurant. The crowd noise was not bad, it was easy for us to have table talk. We started with beer and wine as well as the lobster and shrimp potstickers. The sauce was awesome and had slices of jalapenos with a very good amount of heat. We loved this appetizer and in fact, we asked for some grilled bread to sop up the extra sauce. Next she ordered the airline chicken with mash potatos and greenbeans, a classic dish for sure and it did not dissapoint, she loved her entree. I had the shrimp and grits with conecuh sausage, this was a very tasty dish and the portion size was perfect. Too many restaurants pile on the grits. This left room for dessert, we had the creme brulee cheesecake, this was very light and tasty, crispy topping and the blueberries were a great added flavor. Tonight was a huge success. We will be back.

    Cute unassuming restaurant from the outside. Great drinks and staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. Food was amazing! My favorites were the caprese salad and the bread pudding. Highly recommend! They slightly change their menu each week

    What an absolutely DELICIOUS meal. From beginning to end. Couldn't have asked for a better anniversary dinner. My husband is still raving about the elk. Our waitress was great, very attentive and nice! We will most definitely be back.

    Phenomenal restaurant. Consistent service and quality. Imaginative and diverse menu. One of the best restaurants in Baldwin County!!

    S'mores bread pudding

    Teres Major insanely flavorful awesome dish! Elk tenderloin was another 10/10 dish 0 game taste whatsoever! BBQ shrimp another dish we will get again when we go back. The chicken wings were awesome just tiny probably wouldn't get again but 100% good taste. The amberjack dish was good not great not bad. Fish had a good flavor but the meal sat in a pool of a tomato soup kind of deal and was just too over powering and I'm a huge tomato lover. The smores bread pudding was another awesome dish that we would 100% get again. Overall experience was awesome waiter was sweet and attentive food was great atmosphere was great we are 100% planning on going back! Teres major, elk tenderloin, BBQ shrimp, and s'mores bread pudding get it all!!!

    On our way back from mobile we decided to stop at Southwood kitchen in Daphne. Our server was Brandy, who was very knowledgeable of the menu and provided an excellent customer service.we ordered wagyu French dip with french fries and Ai jus , black angus filet medallion with mushroom Demi glaze, duck fat, whipped potatoes, and fresh sautéed mixed vegetables.Everything was very good. Highly recommend.

    Filet Medallions with duck fat whipped potato's and green beans.

    1st time going and didn't realize we needed reservations. So we went to the bar next door and they serve the same food. It was absolutely amazing. A little noisy at the bar but well worth it. The service was outstanding also. We will definitely come back. Probably with reservations.

    What is the dress code? Or, what do people usually wear to this restaurant? More fancy, casual, in between? Thank you!

    Casual is great, fancy is great as well!

    Lots of male couples, Gay Bar?

    No sir, we are a farm to table restaurant with great cocktails, fine wines, and nice spirits. Everyone is welcome.

    I heard lots of good things about this place and I had to try it. What initially intrigued me was…read morethe crab claws, I was kravin' some I asked the host the seat me somewhere I can watch the Seahawks vs 49ers game. He said, pick and choose. My waitress was a very extroverted personality, easy going and socialable. Her name is Lauren (hope I spelled that correctly) But I asked for some recommendations on various things. She gave me her honest opinion about it. Which I appreciates. Most people would try to gaslight/upsell she didn't. I end up getting the pick 3. Grilled crabcake, grilled crab claws and blackened suwait fish. As I waited I observed the decor, it was your standard marina style. Nothing crazy. I got my food in a decent time frame. But wow the food tasted amazing! Everything was so flavorful, I devoured the entire plate. Nothing left but garnishment! However the gumbo was good, not great. Before I left, it was halftime and the Seahawks was dominating the game! Overall, I would comeback, thanks again Lauren for excellent customer service!

    Been there a few times. I know they are a local favorite, but I am not a fan. I don't like hot…read morefood served in styrofoam (my biggest issue). The food is pretty much all deep fried. Not impressed with the amount of imported fish, either. We're on the Gulf Coast, use local fishermen. Service was always mediocre at best as well.

However, were we're very pleasantly surprised to find that the new ownership, a Jamaican woman is also gluten free and fully intends to expand GF options to include GF onion rings on the appetizer list. She is currently deciding which menu items will be replaced with more requested items. The new owner is a friendly, warm person with a feel for greeting and making diners feel welcome. We were greatly relieved that she has great Jamaican recipes that will add to the otherwise seafood specialties. My wife has been GF for several years and has been unable to enjoy most fried foods including seafood due to wheat flour. However, we were able to enjoy a wonderful GF fried seafood platter and only the hush puppies were not GF. We also had the delicious crab bisque that is also GF. I am fortunate to NOT be allergic to anything so I was treated to a delicious chocolate truffle that is absolutely the best. This delicacy will soon be available GF. If you are looking for a coastal restaurant with GF options in the Mobile or Daphne causeway area, you should try the Elite Pierhouse restaurant. You won't be dissatisfied. Great food, spectacular views and really good service with moderate prices. Not fast food, but really great southern seafood with Jamaican flare.
