Both were really good, and it was a nice way to start my birthday! The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. What really stood out to me was that they brought me out a little dessert to wish me a happy birthday. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture and definitely made the experience feel a little more special. Overall, a great brunch spot with good food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area! They are my 2nd favorite brunch spot so far between Gulfport, MS and Mobile, AL. Big Bad Breakfast is my #1 but not by a large amount. Bubbles and brunch is on their tail!

She somehow always remembers our favorite drinks and knows exactly what we'll love and when we're in the mood to try something new she gives awesome suggestions. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the service keeps us coming back. If you haven't been to Bubbles and Brunch yet, you're missing out. We can't wait for our next brunch date!

Crowded but we parked right up front, got on the list and eased out to wait in the comfort of our car. App updates ran accurate and we were seated in a perfect location. Our server JT (according to the ticket) was super cool and put us at ease as first timers and offered some great suggestions. I had the cathead chicken biscuit, well half but the second half went down later at home. We split the coffee cake and Mrs scooped up a Creole omelette. Food was everything it could be and more. Oh, I almost forgot the added blueberry jam I put on the coffee cake, and after the ride home the cake soaked up the blueberry jam liquid, OMG let's just say that's how it should be served. All in all a great experience piloted by our capable server and guaranteed with nice size portions of really good food. This is on the rotation now.

My husband and I love this place. We were impressed on our first visit when the server (after we…read moretold her it was our first time here) brought us samples of their three homemade gravies and one biscuit. We were floored by the robust flavor of each of the homemade gravies. They have a tomato gravy, a sausage gravy, and a redeye gravy. The texture of the gravy was not too thick and none of them were greasy. We each ate a plate of homemade biscuits and in-house made gravy. Although the biscuits and gravy seem like a small serving, the dish is really an adequate meal. Overall, the flavor of the food and the friendliness of the staff solidified our making this restaurant our breakfast place when we visit Mobile.

Hubby and I went up to Semmes to try this family owned restaurant and we weren't disappointed. We…read morefound out from the owner, Brandon Van Hook, that it had been open for almost 10 years. So on his suggestion we both tried burgers and they were awesome. In fact, they were so good and BIG we both came home with half for later. I had the Black & Bleu cooked medium and dressed with a cajun mayo, lettuce, tomato and blue cheese crumbles...yum! Hubby opted for the Hickory Pit Burger after I read the description out loud to him! Check this out: BBQ Sauce, Bacon, Onion Rings (on the burger) and good old Cheddar Cheese. He loved it! You get a side with your burger and so we both had fries. I had the steak fries and he had regular. Both were great! Things to know: The restaurant opens at 5AM and closes at 9PM, every day. They serve breakfast and have daily lunch & dinner specials. It is not a very big place, so I imagine there are times when you have to wait for a table. The next time we go, I think we may try the breakfast. We live in WeMo and this is only about 15 minutes from our house if you take Snow Road. Very friendly staff

I'm playing catch up on reviews…read more I've been to a lot of places the last few months, checked in so I can review it, but I'm on the road so often that it's hard to get the reviews written. I have a long back log I need to catch up on and I still have reviews from my cross country trip to Oregon that I still need to write, and that was back in December! I'm trying... A few months ago, I found myself out on Lott Road, and decided to scratch a long overdue itch by visiting Highway 217 Cafe and Grill. I've heard pretty great things about this local gem. Now, anyone who knows me, knows I have a wicked soft spot for local owned business. In fact, I tend to gravitate toward local businesses over corporate owned chains. I stepped inside the dimly lit building where elderly couples and workers on their lunch breaks congregated with a warm and sincere welcome from the young ladies working there. This is what I love most about local business, is that honest interaction and sense of pride and community these kinds of places have. It just makes you feel like they want to earn your business, and care about your experience there. I was told I could sit wherever I chose and they brought the menu, and while there was a lot to choose from, I wanted to keep it simple, and went with a bacon cheeseburger, medium rare. I guess I tend to default back to my "Rik's Burger Review" days when I get the chance, and since it's where my review experience really began, it always feels nice to go back to the basics. I ordered onion rings instead of fries as I was in the mood for them, and I like them a little bit more. They brought the burger and it had the fries with it, and the girl realized immediately that the kitchen had made an error. She told me I could keep the fries and she would have my onion rings out shortly. A few minutes later, this side of fantastic onion rings showed up, and they were nothing short of amazing! The onion rings were appropriately crispy, and the breading had quite a zing, which was pleasant tasting. The onion inside was firm, hot and not soggy in the slightest. The burger was perfectly cooked as requested, the meat was seasoned well, it was juicy and succulent, the bacon was very crispy but not burned, and the cheese was bubbly melted to the burger. This was nothing short of a perfect meal! Also, they took the onion rings off my check because they were late getting them to me. I left full, happy and swore I would go back again. It's a bit out of the way from where I live. But if I'm out that way, I'll definitely be back.

Now, maybe the food would've been better had we gotten there earlier (as they are more of a breakfast/brunch spot) but this place should consider taking "biscuit" out of the name. We ordered two biscuits with eggs and both biscuits were hard, dry and flavorless. If I ever made it back to Maple Street, I'd try anything on the menu other than their biscuits, which is a shame considering we were looking forward to good breakfast sandwiches.
