“Lovely atmosphere...great employee. Had a very nice time.“

“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!“

“Excellent! We will be back!“

“Had no expectations and I rarely write reviews but this place was great! Service quick and our waitress was a doll!! We all got a burger and the fried delicious mushrooms for an app. I’d say all in all a 10 out of 10!!!“

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

“We enjoyed everything about our visit to Dauphin’s from the beautiful panoramic view to the relaxing dining experience. The music was wonderfully nostalgic. The bountiful southern comfort food was served with a smile and comfortable friendliness. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this dining experience.“

“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. ~ ><>“

in if you prefer“

“Always great, wonderful management. We love it“

“Been a while since I’d eaten here and I’d forgotten how good their food was. Simple, tasty recipes with fresh ingredients and friendly service. Outdoor & indoor seating plus a drive thru. What’s not to like?

Pro tip - try the Kicking Kay Lynn. Just a little bite, but exceptional taste.“

“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!“

“I totally forgot to take a picture of my appetizers but the steam crab claws are absolutely delicious!! I also had deviled eggs they were pretty good, just not my moms lol… the beef tenderloin was cooked well to my liking the only thing I did not like was the fact that they didn’t have any steak sauce. Overall, my experience was amazing I definitely recommend going, but only with a small group of people.“

“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!!“

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

“The Buffalo wings are the real deal! My son and his friend enjoyed them for spring break, pretty quick service too!“

The food was great the menu was priced exceptionally well and we enjoyed our visit for breakfast each day. Thank you guys for the incredible service. The whole staff was simply amazing.“

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

“Cute with a nice vibe. The service was efficient and friendly. Food was not only delicious but fresh and hot. I will be back.“

“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.“

“1st time eating here, GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, CLEAN, RESPECTFUL good prices. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED“

“Great food, great choice of beers and liquor“

“Cool place. I miss it. Cold beer“

“This was a tough review for me. Party of 3. We had never been to Dumbwaiter before and I had a work colleague with us. I had been given rave reviews from others. Very nice restaurant. Atmosphere was great. We arrived at 6:15 and was seated immediately. We got the first round of drinks quickly and ended up ordering an appetizer. It was delicious. Then, we waited and waited and waited some more and ordered more drinks and waited some more. Our waitress apologized. Apparently, the kitchen was backed up. Odd thing was the table beside us sat at least 20 min after us and received their entrees before us. They even ate and were leaving by the time we got our entrees. The food would have been great. I can tell it would have but my girlfriend's plate died. Steak was dry and sauce had a film over it. Grits had dried out. Had it all been fresh, I'm sure it would have been great. Service from the waitress was great but the kitchen failed us on this one.“

“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.“

“[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.“

“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!!!!“

“Decided to go here since it was close to the hotel I was staying at. So glad I did.
Had the schrimp po'boy with fried green tomatoes. The both were delicious and cooked to perfection. Large selection of menu items I would have loved to try if I was staying in the area longer.
Staff was very friendly and very accommodating in making my dining experience memorable. Prices were more than reasonable for the portions I received.
I will definitely stop again when I'm back in the area.
Well worth to stop......!“

“A place worth checking out, I definitely would go 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.“

“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!“

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

“Very quick with your food, id recommend looking at the menu online so that you can be courteous to the people with a 30 minute lunch who are behind you. Have what you want in mind and say it to the speaker - 5 minutes later you have the best hush puppies and chicken tenders on Mobile“

“Ate there today. Food and staff was amazing!!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!“
