The staff are attentive and leave nothing to be desired. They had great recommendations and kept our drinks filled and the kitchen was quick and food came out hot and just as ordered. I had the blind mule shrimp pasta and she had fried pickles and a chicken Caesar salad. Previous visits the shrimp and grits were the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was filled in with music and voices from the other customers cheerfully talking over dinner.

Thanks for a great evening out!

Moved away three years ago, but it's one of the places I make a point to come by when I'm in town.

The best burgers in Mobile, AL. Every thing is good though, and they are always very nice and dog friendly too!

Caught this place on our way back from New Orleans. The blue cheese burger was great and the chili cheese fries had just enough kick to them . Always love giving local places our business.

My son and I were seated immediately when we came in on a weekday during dinner time at the sparsely filled restaurant. I had a cup of the lukewarm, average Gulf seafood gumbo for an appetizer. We also shared undercoated, under-fried pickles. My jacka$$ wrap was good. My son’s medium Texas squealer came out well done. We both enjoyed our local craft beers, chosen from the National and local craft and domestic beers menu.

Bar and low-top seating with a sports bar theme. Good service. Competitive pricing. 3.5% credit card fee. A local we spoke with said they have a better brunch and a new cook in the evening. We wouldn’t come back for dinner.

Food was amazing. Service was ok. Basically waitressed by 1 bar tender, so if you want a refill on anything, or salt, etc. you'll have to head to the bar. But the food is A-maze-zing. My wife was angry the appetizer was so good because she could only eat half her meal 🤣🤣. I'm pretty sure they have perfected the sweet potato waffle fries. I've never tasted one better in my life. And those beignets..... they should be a national treasure. We got them to go, and when we opened the box at home they didnt look anything like a beignets....honestly I dont care what they look like, they are heaven in you mouth.

Ok so have great things to say I LOVED THIS PLACE!
Service was FANTASTIC, the woman serving last night I’m sorry I forgot the name but it was sat Dec 13 2025, I felt like at home.
The food was absolutely delicious, I had a gumbo cup, and a mahi grilled with veggies and rice. Delicious, I started eating and then took the pic 😅 my person got the La fayette burger and really good too, he also had 2 beers. You definitely have to go to this place and try all their food haha. Hopefully I will try the fried mushrooms next time. Just FYI very important, the bathroom baseboards and the bathroom in general need to be sanitized and cleaned deeply. It was dusty and dirt was accumulated. The walls too.

Good food, great service in a dive bar atmosphere. I hade the grilled fish, wife had the baked shrimp and pasta, both were very good and the prices were very reasonable for what they serve.

I must confess, when I walked into this restaurant, I asked myself what in the world have I gotten myself into. I sat down and Savena took my order. After some consideration I decided to get it to go. I ordered the chili cheese burger with sweet potato fries. Much to my surprise, the food was delicious and the service was great. I will visit this place again when I come back to Mobile. Next time I will dine in and try to overcome the atmosphere.
