20 Best Southern Restaurants in Mobile

“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!“

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

“We celebrated our father's 87th Birthday here! We had a table of 9 starting at 5:30, and we finished up at 7:30 pm. The service was excellent. and our male server was professional and attentive. The server offered to take pics with several phones. The food was delicious from the appetizers, main course of ribeye, filet, triple tail, scallops and chicken. We ordered all the desserts and shared. My Father loved the brownie with ice cream, and the cheesecake was a large portion. I would highly recommend for a special event!“

“The food is very exceptional if you like chicken salad. Very clean, pleasant employees, food is awesome!

Parking: The parking was a little congested. The food is so good the drive-through is backed out on the streets!

Wheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair accessibility is great for the ones who need it. Space for wheelchairs in the eating area and the doors are wide enough for them to fit!“

“Great place lots of history to it was well. Real old school“

“Staff is fast and friendly. Food is DELICIOUS!!!“

“We stopped there today to try out the food - they might get tired of seeing us! We were so impressed with their biscuits, they are made with real butter and are SO good. For a great start to your day, brunch with friends, or a first date, this place is the bomb!“

“Food was delicious and priced reasonably. Had the rib tips plate. Yummy. The bbq sauce one of a kind, but oh so good.
So why the 4 star overall score? Service was awful. Misty was short, inattentive, acted like I was an inconvenience to her. Never offered a refill on my soda, but was in a hurry to offer a to go box. Yeah Misty I got the hint you wanted me to leave.“

“Great place for all seafood dishes“

“I brought my husband here for Father’s Day breakfast. We will be back! Great food and great people.“

“I just can’t say enough amazing things about this place. Everything there is exceptional. The food, the staff, the chef, the owners, the venue. Please if you have not been there please take the time to treat yourself and your family to the best restaurant in town. We just celebrated my mom’s 75th birthday there and their private room is just beautiful. Their staff handled over 50 guests with patience, grace and amazing service. Lousie, Mark, Noel and everyone went above and beyond to make everything extra special and perfect. The food was amazing, the drinks delicious, the service outstanding.“

“Every time we go to eat or just to make a purchase, everyone is so helpful and kind“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fresh, Flavorful & Delivered to Perfection

Y’all, I’ve ordered from Chicken Salad Chick in Mobile at least 3 or 4 times now, and I swear each time feels like the first bite of something so good it should be illegal. In a sea of heavy, greasy delivery options, this place is a breath of fresh (and healthy) air.

The food is next-level fresh—like it was made moments before it showed up at my door. The chicken salad? Flavor-packed. The croissants? Buttery perfection. The sides? Legit craveable. And the best part? It somehow makes you feel like you just ate a homemade meal without lifting a finger.

Whether it’s a light lunch or a full-on feast, it hits every single time. I’m literally tempted to order again while I’m writing this review. If you’re in Mobile and haven’t tried it yet, trust me—this is your sign.

Delicious. Dependable. Delivered. What more could you want?“

“Amazing every time we visit“

“Very large selection of food, big salad bar- dressings weren't marked so you have to guess, lots of protien selections, taco bar, and so many desserts including a buold your own sundae with soft serve ice cream. Our servers were friendly, but a couple behind the counter weren't helpful at all, ran out of spoons and didn't bother to get us more, or seem to care. Was pretty chilly inside, they have booths as well as table & chairs“

“Ordered curbside on App Wednesday afternoon and pre-paid. When driving into Cracker Barrel parking lot received a call from Cracker Barrel stating they had run out of my order!!! Needless to say I was not very happy!!!“

“Our family stopped by JJ’s for lunch when we came in town and it was delicious. We ordered po-boy, fried shrimp & fish dinner and all you can eat chicken. Everyone cleaned their plate! We will be back again.“

“We have enjoyed all our meals at Soul Heaven, since they opened up their brick & mortar location! The portions are generous & food is always hot. Fried fish has been my favorite so far. Different flavored Teas and lemonades are so nice for the hot months. The staff is sweet, service is fairly quick, and great price for how much you walk away with. I would recommend to anyone in the area“

“I recently hosted a baby shower at B&S Mobile and I was blown away by the accommodations, the staff, the food, everything! I worked with Kaitlin and she did a fantastic job. She handled our catering order and constantly checked in on us throughout the event- we never wanted for anything! And the food… so good!! I could’ve eaten a whole plate of the hash browns alone, but it was all fantastic. 10/10, highly recommend!“
