What a royal treat at The Royal Scam! Chad did a great job taking care of us and his recommendations were spot on based on the details we gave him. I highly recommend anyone giving this place a try.

Royal Scam has always been a favorite of mine and my wife's. We have been coming since 2015. We were especially excited when they returned after the pandemic. The picture is the last time my wife ate with me there before she passed from ALS. Tonight was the first time I have been back since. A bar seat because it wouldn't be the same at a table without her there. The Ribeye (newly back on the menu was cooked perfectly. Savory potatoes and fresh green beans. Peach cheesecake and a glass of Cabernet Franc. Thank you for the memories.

Well this was just a short walk about a block and a half from our room at the Hampton Inn. Linen table setting. Dinner was excellent. Peggy had the chicken with capers. I had the three tail fish. Topped the dinner off with a Carmel crème brûlée Kelly was outstanding and very tenative

Overall experience 7.8/10 Our waiter was great, was attentive to our needs. Cocktails were delicious and came to the table fast. Appetizers: Not Pictured but Ordered -Crab cakes, 8/10, were crabby light and just overall delicious. -Hanoi Shrimp, 5/10, I just truly just wasn't a fan of this dish. The breading was heavy and floury, it was difficult to eat because of the skewer it was on and the skewer would not come out of the shrimp. Although the wasabi creme fraiche was great for dipping! -Sugar Cane Pork Belly, 8.4/10, you can't go wrong with pork belly.. delicious and light Dinner was overall delicious, everyone our party finished the dishes clean! I love this place and have been a frequent visitor living in mobile my whole life. If you are visiting or just a Mobilian looking for a date night or any night for an excuse to have good food I would go here!

I don't remember what I ate but it was delicious

Great food, good atmosphere, intimate atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service. Black truffle potatoes were really good and the vegetables to have are the asparagus that were cooked perfectly

One of the top ten best meals I've had in my life. Visited Mobile, AL all the way from Long Island, NY. I don't want toot my own horn, but I know good food when I taste it. This meal was excellent. I don't know much about the city but was looking to eat a nice steak. I found The Royal Scam's menu online and booked a reservation. Upon confirming my reservation online, I was advised that this meal was a la carte - great! When I arrived to the restaurant (by the way, the local's accents are adorable), we were given their "Mardi Gras" menus for $60 a person. I was a little confused because this wasn't explained on their website and I thought I was able to get a $39 steak and be done with it. Their Mardi Gras menu came with an appetizer and dessert. We splurged, because why not? For my appetizer, I had a house salad which came with apples and an orange basil vinaigrette. Oh my goodness. Mouthwatering. Where will I ever find this in New York?! My husband had the seafood gumbo and loved it. This is where things get better. I ordered filet mignon with a red wine Demi-glacé and my husband ordered the sesame crusted red snapper. The steak was out of this world. Here I am, cutting the steak in the smallest slices to savor every piece - keeping in mind I will probably never have this again. The red snapper was perfect. For dessert, I ordered a chocolate lava cake with chocolate ganache and my husband ordered the crème brûlée. There was a vanilla sugary-thing in my cake and I didn't see the chocolate ganache and my husband's dessert was a little peachy. If our desserts weren't the 10/10 we hoped for, that's ok. The meal totally compensated for it. Our host was excellent and very attentive. The manager/owner? came up to our table and asked how our food was. I told her this was one of the best meals we've ever had. Goodbye, Alabama!

Sugar Cane Pork Belly Perfection!

Eclectic, cool and creative menu steps from the Renaissance hotel. Attentive and helpful associates and unique vibe!

Fresh Catch

In Mobile for business, didn't want to eat at hotel. Found this place simply walking. AMAZING! Great service, had the Redfish was probably best I have ever had, and unlike most they didn't abuse supply and demand on pricing. If in the area, highly recommend.

Fresh catch of the day red grouper with lemon dill beurre blanc,goat cheese couscous,roasted broccolini

Best food in Mobile! I had the Filet Mignon with roasted fingerling potatoes and roasted asparagus. Absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection! My husband got the catch of the day which was fresh red grouper with lemon dill beurre blanc sauce, goat cheese couscous and roasted broccolini. Hands down best fish dish I've ever tasted! The fish was incredibly fresh and grilled perfectly. Finished off with one of their flavors of the day crème brûlée. Chocolate cherry!! The whole meal was a 10/10!!

Hoisin glazed triple tail with a ginger soy aioli, roasted rep pepper and wasabi rice, and sesame broccolini.

I ordered the special of the day. It was hands down one of the best meals I have ever had!!! The drinks were amazing, too!

See all

Food was under seasoned and under whelming. Service was okay. Drinks were sweet but not enough liquor. 2 out of 10 would not recommend
