“Your gumbo is the best I have ever had at a restaurant!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We were there in October and the food was sooo good and the service was wonderful!“

“I love Judy's and so do my friends. Food is delicious and the operation runs like a well oiled machine.“

“This place is phenomenal! I am a chef and restaurant owner myself and I was blown away. The simplicity and freshness of the dishes is commendable. Treating fresh local ingredients so well and not over complicating the plate is a rare thing. Most chefs try to show you how "cheffy" they are. Get the Carolina Gold Rice with the Blue Crab. It's the perfect dish. Fresh Crab, the rice is perfection and would make southern food enthusiasts like Sean Brock ask for seconds. We'll done!“

“I remember sitting on an old picnic table outside the DEW DROP over 70 years ago, drinking a big bottle of Coke with my Dad, Chris Bailey Jr., my Uncle, Kenny Crow, while they enjoyed several beers while visiting with friends. Today, I brought my friend, Andy Carr by with my son, Chris Bailey IV, along with Joe Alberstadt, to enjoy a delicious Dew Drop hot dog, some fries, onion rings, and a cup of Gumbo, before he heads west for Yuma, on a new job assignment. We loved the food & Thanks for the memories! Semper Fi, Chris. Bailey III Mullet Point, Al. ~ ><>“

“This was the best diner I have ever been to. The peach cobbler was life changing!“

The menu had something for everyone—kids, adults, and even picky eaters. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can really tell that the ingredients are high quality and made with care. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and everything was well-prepared.
The kids loved their meals, and the staff was very kind and patient with them. For the adults, the main dishes were delicious and filling, and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending to a great meal.
Overall, this is a place where you feel at home, enjoy good food, and make great memories with family. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others!
10 stares if I could, This is the spot“

“Great spot for a bite with the guys while in the Mobile area. Recommend the crawfish dip, it doesn't make it around the table twice. Our server (Katie) was great with the orders and helping out our large party.“

“Sabree was a top notch server! We never had to ask for anything she was always a step ahead of us! We will definitely be back!“

“[Less of a review and more of an inspection]: Im moderately concerned why their bottled/canned sodas are 1 to 2 years out of date. One of the diet cokes is borderline clear from age. They need to refresh their shipment on sofa drinks. because thats a health code violation to sell expired products to the general public. They did not seem very aware of this being an issue when it was brought up.“

“Awesome place to go for music and beers“

“I like going to Cracker Barrel their food is good and the service usually is good. I like looking at what they have to offer occasionally buy something staff is friendly it’s a good experience“

“Best loaded fries in the game not to mention customer service is always on point! &&&& they extended their hours!!!!!!“

“Best breakfast place EVER!! We recently found The Toasted Yolk as we live across the bay. We were looking for a new spot. Genuinely best breakfast ever. The thing that stands out to me most is the freshness of the food!! The environment is so bright, cheery and welcoming. Keesha was our waitress and she was so attentive and friendly. Our daughter is at college and we are so ready for her to come home so we can bring her! I can’t recommend this place enough!! We will certainly be back!!“

“waitress was friendly and polite, the food was good and the store was clean“

“This was our first time here. We had reservations for 6 and when we walked in we were immediately taken to our table and it was all ready with waters and menus and utensils. Our waitress, Hannah, was awesome! She was super friendly and attentive; a complete delight! The food was served fast and everyone loved their dish and the charcuterie board for appetizer. The drinks and wine were excellent! The atmosphere was so nice. We all agreed that it was one of the best places to eat and we had friends from NY visiting. We live in Pensacola but will visit again any chance we get! Thank you Pour Baby! And Hannah! And all the staff!“

“Best in the biz 💚 great food!“

“Great food, great choice of beers and liquor“

“food is always delicious. love being able to shop for a bit.“

“So good potato soup Greek salad Shrimp 🍤 pull-boy“

“The sourdough pizza dough is delicious! We're fans of the pizza and reubens!“

“We waited over TWO hours for our food and drinks. When we got to speak to the manager he was brash and rude!!!! I will NEVER eat at this restaurant again. We did have a lovely waitress. She was treated poorly by the manager as well. If I were you, I would replace my manager!!!!“

“I can now speak from experience to officially say that I am a huge fan. I really enjoyed the food I've had here so far. I'm not gonna lie, it's more expensive than I can generally afford, yet it's not to expensive to justify not checking it out!“

“Unbelievable find! While traveling from Houston to Montgomery, we wanted really good seafood but didn't want to venture too far off the highway. We asked ChatGPT for recommendations and saw a billboard and thought, why not? So glad we decided to give them a try. Fresh, flavorful, excellently prepared red snapper, and redfish bienville - both were AMAZING!! Our server, Chyann, was kind, helpful, very attentive and with a super sweet smile! Wish it wasn't so far from home or we'd definitely be regulars!!“

“got the pulled pork sandwich. meat had ZERO flavor and was as dry as boomer humor. the seasoning sauce was water scared with garlic powder. potato salad was disrespectfully disgusting. banana pudding was watery and the bananas were black. green beans were dumped from a can and had less seasoning than printer paper. Mac and cheese was essentially just pasta in a cheese water sauce and the atrocity of what they dare to call sweet tea was an insult to all southerners. get a better staff too. they carried a conversation and it was quite clear they wanted to keep talking when I was approaching. the lady at the pickup register talked over me and was obviously annoyed to be at work.“

“The Have a Cigar was fantastic! Service was also top notch.“

“We decided to try this place tonight and it was a good experience. We both had the burger and it was pretty good. The fries and onion rings were ok, nothing special. The cheese bites were delicious. The prices were really good and that’s what saved the experience for us. If it had been more expensive I would be disappointed.“

“The Waffle House in Satsuma is by far the best one I've ever been in. I've been in Waffle Houses all over the state and the atmosphere, the service, the friendliness is always the same regardless of who's working. The food is cooked amazingly fast and accurate but most importantly amazing as you expect it to be at Waffle House. Tonight (2/10/25), Gery was our server and he was awesome! He was so friendly, attentive and deserves a raise along with everyone in there. Keep it up y'all bc you're regulars look forward to coming in to having a little fun while we enjoy a great meal! Thank you all for your hard work and great attitudes! 🧡🫶🧡“

“The food is so good! 😊 I stopped by for something quick for me and my daughter. It was delicious. We got some loaded fries topped with chicken breast, ground beef, cheese and more! I was not expecting the amazing quantity of food! 🙌🏽♥️ I highly recommend you stop by and try it! Worth every dime!“

“One part of our anniversary celebration . We started with drinks cranberry cinnamon bourbon we both had the stuffed chicken with asparagus over the ravioli my husband loved the sauce he said it’s very familiar ended with the fudge brownie everything taste great. Unfortunately I only have a photo of my drink because when our meals came we forgot to take photos. I blame the drinks good conversation and atmosphere but good thing is we will most definitely will be back .“

“In my opinion, today’s food was awful. My grill quarters that I purchased as a take home meal was still pink on the inside as if it was rushed on the grill. They were out of a few items on menu. Lastly, what makes the taste of the chicken is the sauce that wasn’t even placed in the bag. I have had better but it was something about today. However, my son’s ribs in his opinion were burnt and just wasn’t good. I will return in hopes that the food is better.“

“I usually stop by Foosackly’s in Semmes on Fridays after a sport event, football, baseball, basketball and enjoy a salad and some tenders with my wife. Last Friday, after getting home, I found that the tenders were a little over cooked resulting in a rock hard batter which was uncomfortable to bite or chew. My wife called and spoke to Ethan the manager and he quickly offered a gift card equal to our charge so that we can get our Friday night game Foo on our next visit. After a mixup with the email, Ethan was true to his word and sent the card directly to our email. Ethan was absolutely wonderful to my wife and did everything that a business should do to keep customers coming back. Thank you Ethan…. We’ll see you Friday night.“
