    Peach bao bun Ala mode!  The ice cream was a bit over churned (hard) but I give it a 10! Definitely eclectic in a great way!
    Dave L.

    Amazing experience! This was our second time here...Food service and ambiance were fantastic! The food quality, drinks, and price was perfect!

    Decent spot on a lively street in downtown mobile. Definitely need to be in the mood for fried food or bao buns here haha! Drink service was a little slow but the food came out relatively quickly. Everything tasted great!

    Shrimp Po BOY
    Pat B.

    We stopped in for a drink and tapas on a Wednesday night. The menu is very interesting but sadly the restaurant was dead. We ordered the SOS calamari. The concept seemed good the sauce as tasty but the calamari, while tender, had an old fishy taste. Bummer! We also tried the fried deviled eggs. Nothing to wow you. We ended with a shrimp po boy with fries. Hot, crispy tender shrimp on a great bun. French fries were hot and crispy. Definitely the best food of the night. Service at the bar was good.

    Mob town hot fries
    Brennan S.

    I have been here probably at least a dozen times and it's never disappointed! LOVE their mob town fries. Very spicy, but so worth the heat. And their burgers are amazing! Baos are great. Honestly, all their food is great.

    Tuna tortas

    I don't know what we were expecting but we were blown away by the atmosphere, the appetizer, and our service. Eli was incredible despite him getting slammed with drink orders right after we sat down. He worked magic, kept everything moving smooth, and even mentioned us a couple places in Mobile to check out while we were in town. The Tuna Tortas were so fresh and the perfect snack. We ordered two cocktails with the notorious squid ink in them- it was actually a little sweet and well balanced in the drinks. A highlight of our trip. Will be by again . - Alex & Eric

    The best bathroom wall art I've ever seen
    Courtney E.

    Very yummy and unique food! I'm not a frequenter of downtown but I'm definitely going to make it a point to go more often just to eat here more. I had the mob bao and they were absolutely perfect. If you have a big appetite you may want to order 3 of them though because it only comes with 2. It says that on the menu but just be aware in case you're a big eater because they're rather small. Super delicious. Had the pork skins as an appetizer and they were also good. The sauce that came with them was great. One of the best things though was the art in the bathroom, they have doodles on the walls and one of the things is the leprechaun from Chrichton

    Calamari
    Shawna B.

    Literally, stopped here during a road trip just to try the famous calamari, which really was tasty. Perfect crunch with a nice seafood variety. Not sure how I felt about the squid ink sauce but the orange sauce was kickin! Ordered togo although the service I received made me want to go back! The bartender was so incredibly hospitable and sweet. She addressed me by name and made me feel welcome and appreciated for coming in. Also, it was my first time visiting the city of Mobile so Squid Ink really left a great impression!

    Met with co-workers here for dinner on a Thursday evening. The location was busy, there were no seats available outside so we ended up being seated upstairs. The upstairs space is relatively small and our table was being hit directly by the air. I would recommend bringing a jacket if you get cold easily! Our waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and were able to provide recommendations and answer any questions we had. The food was served in a timely manner and everyone was pleased with their selection. Overall we had a pleasant experience.

    Southern viper burger
    Heather P.

    Loved the atmosphere!! Such a cute place . Service was great . We sat at bar and had the arancini balls they were very yummy . Also the southern viper burger was incredible!! One of the best burgers I've ever had !! Definitely would return and eat and drink there again !!

    This was a stop on the Boo Brunch Tour and it did not disappoint. We sat outside. There are swings with tables or tables and chairs. Service was awesome! We had a really good breakfast bowl. Highly recommend!

    Drink menu
    Daniel V.

    Delicious, generously portioned food with excellent service and cocktails. The market/ mahi mahi grilled sandwich was a nice thick cut of fish with just a light spread of remoulade. The fried pork chop sandwich was also a huge portion and went great with the pickle and other veggies. The fries were crispy but a little underseasoned. They were hefty portions though and were good when dipped in their house made ranch. Pretty much all the condiments are made in house. The cauliflower appetizer was yummy with the cojita cheese but this was surprisingly not a very big portion compared to the rest of the meals, so can only share between 2 people at best. Our bartender Caleb knew the menu in and out and had great recommendations. He told us a lot about the history of Mobile and gave us suggestions of where t visit in the area. They had a handful of local craft beers on draft. The eight arms, no legs cocktail was outstanding, a little on the sweeter side,and it was kinda cool trying the squid ink. The bar top was a little sticky. They have a lot of out outdoor seating, with some cool swing style seats.

    Chicken Pasta
    Megan R.

    Ate here during Mardi Gras, so I have to take that into consideration on the wait time. Ambiance was a vibe. Waiter was great! I had the chicken pasta - it was good, but not life changing.

    Bread pudding French toast, extra crispy fried chicken thigh.

    Service and atmosphere was great. I had the seafood pasta. The calamari was rubbery at best but the shrimp was perfect. I would go back.
