“Laid back seafood restaurant, chill atmosphere. Food was good, had the $40 boil and it came with royal red prawns, head on. My favorite shrimp! Seasoned well and cajun butter was a great addition. Sausage, potatoes and boiled egg very good as well. Plenty of crab and shrimp to get full on“

“EDIT from original post: We were served by the lovely!!!! Amy today and ONCE AGAIN Half Shell delivered excellent service and amazing food! So happy with my experience! They made sure my boyfriend’s birthday was wonderful! Shout out to Amy and Saber! We also went for my birthday last month and I didn’t catch her name, but our server then also rocked and was so kind!
Original: Saber is the best waitress EVER! Whenever my boyfriend wants to treat me to a nice dinner, I always choose Half Shell! The lovely hostess with the beautiful curly hair is always so polite and welcoming. They truly serve the best oysters I’ve ever had! I love how diverse the menu is, so when I bring a friend, I can pretty much guarantee they’ll find something they like. I attended a party in their private room during Christmas time, and it was probably the best Christmas party I’ve ever been to. Our waitress, Saber, took extra care to make sure we were well taken care of. She is so quick and attentive! She answered every question we had and was able to recommend things on the menu to try. We love having conversations with her. The last time we went, the awesome hostess with the gorgeous hair remembered me and seated my boyfriend and me in Saber’s section! We felt like celebrities. LOL.
Thank you, Half Shell, from a very happy pink-haired customer.“

“On our way back from Florida we stopped at this location as we saw the billboard on the Hwy. The food was truly delicious and our waitress Lisa was funny, quick and polite. We ordered the Catfish and Shrimp combination plate, chicken finger basket and the catfish dinner! The tartar sauce and slaw was the best we have ever eaten!! Check them out!!!“

“Food was really good, plentiful, and very reasonably priced. Plus, the condiments were homemade! Server was pleasant and did not bother you every few minutes asking if everything was ok.“

“One of our absolute favorite spots!! Great atmosphere, service and food 😍“

“I have visited Fresh Seafood Distributors many times for their fresh fish, but we ordered some boiled crawfish this weekend for the first time. It was some of the best tasting crawfish I've had in a long time. They were good sized and perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend visiting these folks for your seafood and crawfish needs. They also have a great selection of spices and gumbo mixes.“

“I'm so disappointed in my new favorite restaurant. Took my family there two Sundays ago for lunch after.church. This was my third visit and first disappointment. Not sure what's .going on. To me they were good because of the different food they offered.. They have eliminated several side items and only offered broccoli and rice which I can get anywhere! Noticed they weren't packed either for a Sunday. Hope whoever made the decision to drop these items and others will put them back before its too late.“

“No photo, to go order.
P2-Large portions of catfish, fries but only 4 little hush puppies.
Great tasting fried catfish. Fries just so so, hush puppies were tasty
Restaurant itself is quite bright, almost sterile.
Has a fishy odor, but understandable as I would think the fish is very fresh being by the bay.
Thanks“

“My wife and I had an impromptu date night last night at Southwood. It had to be one of the top 5 meals I've ever had! Murder Point Oysters followed by the Tomato & Mozzarella salad, leading into the Scallops and Cobia topped with Jumbo Lump Crab for entrees. Mind-blowing flavors and expression in each dish with impeccable presentation, topped off with precision table service. I can't say enough good things about Southwood! ♥️😎“

“We've dined at the Dauphin's a few times before during previous visits to Mobile, AL and always enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit during Memorial Day weekend was a bit of a letdown. While the service was okay, the food left much to be desired. The main issue was the white fish of the day limon style, which was overcooked ~ extremely dry and hard with a side of overcooked, slimey asparagus. This was quite disappointing, especially since it's a dish I've enjoyed here in the past. However, the rest of the items we ordered were pretty good, maintaining the quality I've come to expect. I have to add that portions are above average size so if you're looking to try dessert, you may want to skip appetizers. One consistent highlight is the view from the 34th floor, which is simply amazing and adds a wonderful ambiance to the dining experience, especially during sunset. The cocktail with thyme is also great. Overall, this visit was not as impressive as previous ones, but I hope it was just an off night for the kitchen. We may give it another chance due to the beautiful setting and the generally good food we've had in the past. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I'd only be able to give it 3 stars.“

“Absolutely amazing. We had the ribeye and the filet. So good. The service Ron provided was just as good or better. We will be back!“

“The food is absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend the smothered catfish! And boudin! And bread pudding!“

“One of the finest places to eat in the Mobile Area. Our family of relocating in the near future to Alabama from Texas and the three times I’ve been to Rayza’s has made Daphne the place we will be landing. Food is exquisite. Atmosphere is nice. The staff are wonderful. Would love to meet Rayza someday. You can tell he was the head of Chuck’s. I could go on and on.“

“Incredible menu, cool combinations of food in entrees, great service, fun atmosphere, delicious food & drinks, dog friendly, nice outdoor seating, owner is a great guy who gives back to the community“

“First timers eating here. We are lovers of good and fresh seafood. We had the jubilee platter, grilled snapper, grits, and turnip greens as well as their Bloody Mary. Their fried claws and turnips were my personal favorite. It was so tasty and fresh! I wish I could have eaten more!“

“I recommend them for their drinks! The drinks are really good and worth the price you pay! The food on the other hand is usually good, but this specific visit I asked for no onions on my sandwich and they still put onions on it. I told the waiter that I said no onions and showed him where they had onions on it and he said oh OK and didn't come back to the table until 10 minutes later with some sauce I ordered. So I guess that just meant that my sandwich wasn't gonna get remade or anything, so I just picked out the onions, but it still smells like onions. Total bummer and waste of money at that point but I didn't wanna cause a scene. I'll say if you get your food check to make sure it's right because nothing was done for mine“

“Great place to catch a drink for happy hour!“

“The food was wonderful! Jody was our amazing waitress & provided excellent customer service. Great atmosphere 10/10!“

“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!!!!“

“They have a phenomenal burger. Definitely worth the price and they have really good sides. Perfect for a night out after work.“

“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!“

“I had an amazing experience. I had the fish with rice and veggies with a margarita. the food was delicious! Christy, the bartender, was the sweetest, she ensured my drinks were well and she took really good care of me as a customer. The GM Chris was really respectful and nice! I will definitely be coming back!!!“

“We have been looking for a good Chinese buffet for a long time and just haven’t found one until now. The food was delicious, hot and lots to choose from. The crab Rangoon which is my favorite was actually crispy and hot not the typical soggy kind at most buffets. There was lots of sushi rolls to choose from and all were delicious. They also have a large dessert table and ice cream. The staff was super busy but still incredibly polite. Definitely coming back and I was already recommended the place to friends while I was still eating.

Vegetarian options: There was plenty of dishes that were vegetables but I’m not a vegetarian so I can’t say for sure if it would be your thing or not

Parking: We came at lunch hour they were super busy but we still found parking easy.

Kid-friendliness: They have pizza and chicken for kids who don’t like traditional Chinese food. They also have a huge dessert table any kid would love. There were lots of families while we were there with kids and they seemed to be enjoying it.“
