Wings
Mischa J.

Yelp! I knew I would love this food when I walked in and they had blasting, "Hate it, or love it", 50 Cent! Love that song. This place is eclectic with one side a bar, the middle a game room and the food ordering source tucked over in a corner. We are in Mobile and grabbing food before we return to the hotel. VP is clearly a "hangout" spot and Bae just don't hangout. So we grab the food and go. MAN THIS FOOD! If you can get past this ambiance, these are some of the best greens, cornbread, wings, and ribs I have tasted. This stuff here good. But, this cornbread, looks can be deceiving, this stuff here is their GOAT! I definitely wanna come back.

Boudin Eggrolls

Cute place great outdoor area we came early just when they were opening for lunch. The kitchen menu is insane. Everything was so good. I wanted to order everything but we definitely ordered at least half of the menu. Don't miss the chopped cheese or those meatballs if they have them again don't walk run and head to the velvet pig.

Bar area

The best burger during Mobtown Burger week! Located inside the Ice Box - just a small order window by the bar, but you can tell how much heart they put into their food! We walked into the front door where there is a bar with lots of people watching football. Behind this bar is a large lounge/hangar area with a bar, pool table and comfy places to sit. This is the home for the small but mighty Velvet Pig. With drinks in hand from the front bar, we ordered our burger with a side of honey buffalo wings. Those wings - so tangy, sweet and juicy! The burger was perfect, with toasted bun, creamy key lime aioli and sweet/salty bacon jam. Every bite was perfection and out of the 4 burgers we managed to try this weekend, was by far the best. Another spot we would be regulars at if we lived in Mobile. Great beer selection also and their outside space is very chill. Such a unique and fun place! Next time around we will make this our first spot and come with a full appetite.

On the way from NoLa to Atlanta, we made a quick stop in Mobile and were looking for a good spot for lunch. This was the top restaurant on Yelp in Mobile so we checked it out. We got the smash burger and Alabama hot fried chicken sandwich as well as the Boudin egg rolls. My husband liked the fried chicken sandwich but didn't love it. I, on the other hand, loved the smash burger especially the bacon jam! The surprise was the boudin egg rolls!! Now, the space: it's so beautiful! It would be a good spot to just hang out and relax. Note: you order at the counter then you pick your seat. Velvet Pig is inside a bar so you might think you're at the wrong place when you go here for the first time.

Neat bar with pool table.

Really cool place with a unique vibe. Downtown Mobile hangout bar. With great food and service.

Sunny Pesto

100000/10. Everything here is great. All. The. Time. But today I had the sunny pesto turkey sandwich. I levitated. Dare I compare it to the goddess that is steins deli in New Orleans? I do dare. I texted everyone I know about this sandwich. This sandwich made my day, maybe my week. This is a Liz Lemon sandwich day level sandwich. Lovely people lovely food lovely location. Go here!!!

The food was amazing, every part of it. The wings were tasty and crispy, the egg rolls were great and came with a perfect amount of sauce and the Cuban was delicious! It's not a full service restaurant but it didn't need to be. The food came with everything we needed and the chick who delivered it was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I can honestly say this place is one of my favorite places downtown mobile Alabama and we will absolutely be back!

My last night in Mobile and I needed some good oysters... One of my Uber drivers suggested…read moreWintzell's earlier in the week so I felt the need to follow thru. I'm enough of an oyster snob that I felt the need to belly up to the oyster bar and do it right. Amazing HUGE wild oysters (young dude shocking suggested the wild) but I've had some of the farm-raised in the area so I got 6/6. So flipping good and SO huge I didn't need much for dinner and these were more than plenty! Young man's Dad was also at the bar and had a nice chat with both. Great young man and it's clear where his character came from. Next time I'm in Mobile I'll be back and bring others with...

One star for the hush puppies…read more One star for our friendly server. Sadly, I can only give two stars to Wintzell's House in Mobile, Alabama. I should've listened to all of the advice from the locals on Reddit, who warned me that this place has fallen on harder times. The char grilled oysters were funky. I ate them but worried as I ate them. The hush puppies earned a star. They were pretty tasty. The were my favorite thing on the table. However, we asked for butter, and our server gave us packets of butter substitute. Doesn't this restaurant have real butter? The gumbo was fairly tasteless and also, they had chopped up whatever seafood was in there so finely that it all just turned into mush. If there was any seafood in there, I sure didn't taste it. The West Indies crab salad was a shocking disappointment. It was a scoop of crab meat, which they ruined by mixing it up with mayo. That's it. An ice cream scoop of canned crab meat mixed with heavy mayo. It's like they didn't even try. The bread pudding left very little impression. It was a little rectangular square. Our server misunderstood us when we said we wanted it topped with ice cream, and served the bread pudding alongside a bowl of five scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. It was a very odd dessert situation, but we worked our way through it. Our server was an amusing fella. He kinda/sorta made the evening. Overall, I'm glad I went so I could know for myself. However, I do wish that I had listened to the locals on Reddit.

I was in town for work and came here three times in two days. I've lived in New Orleans so I know good fresh boiled crawfish and this place delivers. Very flavorful crawfish. I got regular level of spiciness and it was plenty spicy so I don't need to know what it tastes like if you order it extra spicy. Not only that, but their shrimp is freshly fried and tastes fresh and from the gulf. And the okra was hot and freshly fried too. Delicious meal. Service is friendly and nice, and food usually came out under ten minutes from when I ordered. Got charged different amounts each time I went but it wasn't a big difference.

Some of the freshest crawfish I have had all season and they were seasoned to perfection. The…read moreturkey neck by far was the best turkey neck I have ever had. Not over seasoned or over cooked and the meat was so tender falling off the bone. Broccoli, boiled eggs, potatoes, corn, and sausage were all delicious and seasoned perfectly. A ton of food at a really great value. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Plenty of inside seating and tons of drink options along with deserts options. I will definitely be back next time I am in the port city.
