The best crab claws you will ever eat.

This is probably the best restaurant in mobile. The service is always great and the food is top notch. No complaints whatsoever.

The food was quick and tasted fresh. We got fried shrimp and it was really good. Nice people. The building is a little old. The atmosphere leaves a little to be desired.

Seafood is all fried which was not what I expected but if you like fried seafood it was good. I personally don't appreciate fried seafood. The place itself was nice and reminded me of the old days
It felt like the heart of America was there. 🇺🇲

Most perfectly cooked fried shrimp ever! Crab claws and fried catfish were delicious. Oysters were good if you like them in corn meal batter instead of the flaky shrimp and crab claws batter. Catfish in corn meal batter which I would have no other way. Cole slaw is decent and I was not a fan of the Mac and cheese as it was the buttery soupy type instead of the thick and cheesy kind. Hush puppies were very good. Not an expensive place nor fancy, but has some delicious food. Waitress was very nice and helpful. Off the beat and path , but easy to get to. If coming for lunch get here before it opens and get in line. Would definitely come back for the fried shrimp and crab claws!

Rude waitress. When asked for a refill she rolled her eyes

My family loves The Lighthouse! We had the best experience this evening. My sister & I brought our kids after the DI Mardi Gras parade. Two adults with a 6 year old, two 5 year olds, a 1 year old & a 9 month old. We had a 35 minute wait, but it went by fast. We had a great server, she was so sweet. Our girls were a little loud, but the whole restaurant was loud due to it being busy, a drink got spilled but we cleaned it up. We had two older women and a man sit at the table behind us & they were constantly staring, talking about us & our children. I guess we were a bother to them, I was very upset about it. After we paid, a tall man who works in the back came out and told us not to go anywhere yet, that he had something for the girls. He brought out 3 popsicles & opened them for them 🩷 My sister said he had been looking out from behind the counter and thought he had noticed the situation. Even if he didn’t, he was so kind and it made everything better. Just made me love the restaurant even more. Our food was 10/10 as always!

If you aren't a regular service is you being ignored. Cold fries once we got our meal 30 minutes after we ordered while they jumped through hoops for their regulars. I posted 1 star because a negative star is not available. I won't be back. Update ..still horrible. Crab claws suck
