The Haunted Bookshop recommended this locally owned/sourced lunch spot. I'm so glad! What a wonderful experience. Trenton was a great server, friendly with solid recommendations. The sweet tea is the best we've ever had. The pickled shrimp is a classic 'Bama recipe. The Waygu double cheese burger will haunt my dreams with its juicy goodness. The steak & frites were very good. Tender with a sauce that was lush on the tongue. We were too full for dessert, but the blueberry cobbler looked amazing. Reservations are recommended, but they'll welcome you in like family either way. Vintage building adds so much character to this charming restaurant. read more

Stopped by here for lunch. I'll start off by saying that I would give it a 4.5 but can't do halves. The service was good and attentive. The dining area is nice but needs a little attention as some of the ceiling tiles are loose with open gaps in the ceiling. Small detail but this is an upscale place. I ordered the catfish with potatoes and greens. The sides were great and the catfish was good but looked to be a little overcooked and dark. The dish came with two dipping sauces which both elevated the experience. One of the sauces was mustard based and amazing. Overall good food at a fair price for lunch. I have not tried dinner yet. read more

The service was terrific! We had Zach. The food was wonderful except the casserole.. it was SO salty my dad who LOVES salty food couldn't handle how salty the casserole was.I'm not sure if it's like that.Every time but it was like that for us. Its a very small dining room and loud so if your going for a meeting or work lunch. I would recommend some place else. Over all. I would go back. The dining room is very open and beautiful. Just keep your party to 4 or less. Also, look at the plates. I loved that homie feel they gave super cute. read more

A friend found this place when we were visiting Mobile and it was great. We tried the cheddar cheese straws ($8), which were super unique. I'm not sure if I would try these again, but I enjoyed the creativity and how it paired with a blueberry dipping sauce. For an entree, I tried the Bouillabaise ($31), which had fresh seafood that paired well with the grits. I would definitely come here again if I was ever in the area! read more

I'm from out of town, but I've been here twice now because the first time was so excellent. Located in downtown Mobile, this cozy restaurant boasts inspired and creative dishes made with local and seasonal ingredients. The chefs here really understand flavor profiles. We had knockout dish after knockout dish. The chicken parmesan sausage dish has hands down been one of my top 5 memorable meals this entire year. I found myself thinking about that dish days after. Oh and the desserts--oh my. Now I'm a sucker for cookies, and the brown butter pecan cookie with the peach semifreddo was so good I had to go complement the chef. And he was so thankful, I was gifted another cookie! I couldn't believe it (but literally felt like a kid in the candy -- or cookie -- store.). This restaurant has been consistently spot on! I love it. Shout out to my server Sara who was phenomenal! Service is always important to me, and she went above and beyond for us! read more

Quaint small restaurant in downtown Mobile. Excellent for lunch, a quiet meeting place. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and willing to go the extra mile. They have some unique cocktails available - the staff recommend one for my wife which she enjoyed. We shared an order of pickled shrimp which were nicely seasoned and served with crackers. I had a seafood sausage sandwich which had an aioli to die for and a cup of creamy cauliflower soup. My wife had a short rib sandwich with truffle aioli which she thoroughly enjoyed. This restaurant was featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and it lived up to the billing. Definitely a place to try if you're driving by Mobile!! read more

Service was great. Had shrimp and grits. Would highly recommend. Really great. Ambiance was great too

We had an 11:00 am reservation for lunch on 02/16/24. We did not receive a friendly/welcoming greeting by the hostess. For a snack appetizer we ordered the Deviled Eggs. We have had better. They are mayo dominant to say the least. Moving on to the entrees. My wife ordered the fried catfish with mac & cheese and cornbread. She would have liked her catfish to have been seasoned better. She was impressed with the mac and cheese as it did not need any additional seasoning. She usually has to add salt/pepper to her mac and cheese when we eat out. She did not care for the heirloom cornbread. I ordered the beef tips and rice with 3 sides. My sides were the cauliflower bisque, glazed carrots, and heirloom cornbread. The beef tips and rice were very good. I would describe it as being more of a beef stew than a traditional beef tips and rice. The cauliflower bisque was excellent. However, this is where they dropped the ball. I asked our server who I believe was Micah R. based on our receipt did it have shellfish in it. She said she would check. She did not think it did. She never followed up to confirm. This is a major training issue. Food allergies are a real thing. A restaurant should now how their dishes are made and be able to communicate it immediately. I liked the heirloom cornbread. I ate the rest of my wife's. She ate the rest of my cauliflower bisque as I did not want to have an ER visit. The glazed carrots were good. The ambiance was nice. read more

You can't go wrong with The Noble South. I went with a group recently while attending a conference in Mobile, and everything was amazing. We tried a little bit of everything. My favorites were the braised cabbage salad and the rainbow trout. The little pieces of fried potatoes in the cabbage salad were so freaking good. The servings are huge, by the way. We also got the deviled eggs that were topped with roe and crispy bacon bits--YUM. Plus, the chicken service is always impeccable, and the space is beautiful. read more

Was downtown for a meeting and we made lunch reservations here for six people. Place was busy, but we were sat immediately. Service was excellent. I got the catfish, cornbread, and fried potatoes. Everything was delicious. Only thing left on my plate was the lemon wedge that came with the fish. Contemplated eating that because everything else was so good. $15 for catfish and two sides. You would expect to pay much more at an upscale restaurant. This is one of the best values in town. I wouldn't say it is a hidden gem because the place stayed full while we were there, but it is so good there should be a line out the door. read more

It's not often I am surprised by food. The breakfast casserole was an unexpected delight. The fresh tomato consume was not something I would have anticipated liking, but it added an uplifting complexity and brightness to the dish. Also sunchokes! Incredibly good as were the deviled eggs. 10/10 read more

Came in for lunch on a Saturday. Arrives at 12:20, Montalto. Lovely service. My husband and son each got the double cheeseburger with fries. I got the shrimp and grits. Everything was delicious. I WILL eat there again, hope for dinner to try some different things but lunch was phenomenal. read more

Best restaurant in Mobile, hands down. The culinary sophistication, flavors and attention to detail are bar to none. Great wine list as well, including a heady mix of trendy natural and orange wines. We sampled all the small plates, which were all uniquely delicious in their own way. Stand outs include: the beef tartare with popcorn (surprising and exciting!); scallops with crab meat; blue cheese mousse with pepper jelly. I had the shrimp and grits for my main, and it was probably the best I've ever had. Pair it with a great wine list, and it was a stunning meal overall. read more

So disappointed and here is why. I have come here for years for the shrimp and grits. Best I have ever had and what put this place on the map. Look at the Yelp reviews and pictures. But I come tonight to learn that the owner wanted to change things up. No more shrimp and grits. Are you kidding?? They took it off the menu. The one item that brings people from all over to try. I told the waitress this would be my swan song dinner here. Imagine going to McDonald's and they say the no longer serve the Big Mac. Goodbye Nobel South. As much as I loved that one dish the rest on the menu are just ok at best. read more

Some good things and some bad. Starting with the good, my husband had the sourdough scramble and he said it was the best scramble he's ever had. The devil eggs were also good. However, the shrimp and grits were bad. The shrimp themselves tasted good but it was in a pink cream sauce that really had no flavor. There was also not enough grits and it was served like warm. Service was also not the best. They took our order and brought us our food but they didn't ask how it was or refill water or coffee. read more

My partner and I stopped here while walking down the sidewalk and that was a very good thing. Creative takes on southern cuisine using fresh ingredients. I had red fish on a bed of white peas with citrus and broccoli. K had the way elevated shrimp and grits. Cocktails were on point and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the sidewalk on a Saturday night. Highly recommended. read more

I got recommended this place and it's on the Michelin guide so I was hopeful sadly very let down. I admit I can be harsh since I used to be a Chef at another Michelin restaurant but this restaurant had the right idea but poorly executed. We had dinner there and ordered two steaks both of which were cold and extremely raw. I know wagyu isn't supposed to be cooked too much and I do like rare steak but this was not enjoyable.... We asked if we could get them heated more and they did it but when we got them back they were barely better. The texture was awful super gummy and it was drenched in this demiglaze that overpowered it. If the wagyu was really that good it shouldn't need that much steak sauce. It tasted like how cows smell. The duck fat potatoes were the best. The chicken liver mousse was good and the cavatelli and squash are alright but everything needed to be hotter temperature wise. Overall really disappointed. I didn't even want to get dessert because I was scared to be let down again after the meal. The service was really great though the waiters are super sweet and even took one of the steaks off which we really appreciated. The interior of the restaurant also needs some work. Has great bones but not using it to its full potential. Would i recommend probably not but mobile really doesn't have great food to begin with so it stinks all over. read more

The wait staff is extremely rude, took an appetizer I had only take a couple of bites of off the table, rushed us through dinner, stood near us giving rude looks, then asked us to leave because they needed the table in their almost empty restaurant. Food was good though. The first time I went, my dish was very disappointing but the wait staff wasn't as bad though they did act stuck up. I'd rather go somewhere else entirely. read more

Wow! I am so impressed with this place. Very upscale ambiance, much needed here in Mobile. Perfect for downtown. Its a gem. I came in and had lunch which was amazing and another day came in for dinner which was even greater. I am gluten-free and they had a gluten-free banana moonpie on the menu. I hadnt had moonpies in 10 years. When I tell you that moonpie was SO FREAKING AMAZING!! I had to stop myself from ordering 10 more. They have some great chefs in that kitchen and the owner runs this place outstandingly. The only downside is the menu changes so often that the website is typically incorrect but hey seeing a GF Moonpie on the menu was the highlight of my year so far! read more

Loved this meal, and the uniqueness of all the flavors of the menu items we tasted. There is quite a bit of pickling and fermentation used, which created a lot of interesting flavors that surprises the palette. Deviled eggs was a nice starter and the tobiko on top was a nice touch. Nothing epic, but delicious. The pickled shrimp reminded me of a ceviche, but with more tanginess, as it sits in the brine overnight. The brussel sprouts were made with their version of kimchi and so flavorful. The wings were sweet, spicy and fall off the bone. Also, these were definitely fresh from an organic farm, definitely no hormones in these things. The pork loin and porks cheeks were delicious and melt in your mouth. I'm not a huge dessert fan, but the banana cream pie was just the right of amount of sweet to end the meal. read more

We have made a point to bring out-of-town guests here and it never fails to impress. They have the most creative and inspiring menu to rival anything you'd find in Atlanta or New Orleans. Their offerings are ever changing with what's available and in season. Last night our ten top shared snacks and small plates from their current menu of their deviled eggs, pickled shrimp, and chicken liver mousse, scallops, feta stuffed squash blossom, and red snapper crudo, and some magical voodoo concoction of speckled butter beans in prosciutto broth with oyster root (salsify) and whatever secret conjuring was applied to make it so delish with so many layers of flavor depth to even describe. Who would guess I'd be here raving about butter beans! The crudo was particularly tasty as well, the flavor from the poblano and cukes distinctively recognizable but melds together so nicely to compliment the snapper. Truly lovely. The scallops and the squash blossom was notable also, both absolutely delectable. Entrees for the table consisted of flank steak, the radiatore pasta, more scallops, and their chicken sausage with eggplant. The flank steaks served with an array of sautéed veg were nice; there will always be those in a group who opt for the familiar and doing the flank on the menu hits the "steak" mark while also being different. Flank can be tough if not done properly and these were perfectly seasoned and cooked to preferred temps while being tender and moist. Two in our party had the radiatore with alligator bolognese, and I'm sad to say here that neither of them were amazed; both said it was good overall but flavors in the sauce were muted and the meat was lost. They both felt it would have been better with a bolder sauce and larger bites of meat. The star of the table (besides the butter beans) was the chicken sausage. Served as a tournedo style slice with flavor reminiscent of a good Sicilian style sausage, it was punchy with seasoning and enhanced by the vibrant tomato sauce which also went beautifully with the eggplants. It was packed with flavor, deliciously juicy, and everyone at the table sampled it and raved. We were a big group, perhaps a bit too loud, but our guests had a memorable experience from the atmosphere, to the food, to the very accommodating staff that put up with us with friendly hospitality and professionalism. All boxes checked! The Noble South is a true gem for our city. read more
