9 Best Southern Restaurants near Spanish Fort

“I’ve been here plenty of times and have enjoyed it every time. However, this time was different. Our server, Sonia (I think that’s the spelling) was the difference. Although she suddenly had her whole section sat at once, and if you’ve ever been a server before you know how stressful that can be, she still kept up a lively dialogue with not only us but all of her tables! Honestly, I hope she is always my server. She was awesome!“

“Great service will return“

“A lady named Charlene at your Spanish Fort location helped us with thanksgiving and Christmas dinner orders. We work on a tow boat and have a hard time coordinating the pick up of the order.. She and everyone we dealt with could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Thank you so much Charlene“

“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!“

“I always get the Fancy Nancy scoop with grape salad. It was perfect as usual! The strawberry lemonade was delicious too!!

Parking: They really need a bigger place. Traffic is always an issue. The drive thru blocks all the parking out front. Don’t park there, you will get blocked in.“

“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.“

“This is The Place ... if your wanting The Best Fried Chicken.Baked Beans and Cole Slaw ..“

“I 1000% recommend eating here if you haven't yet!!! The food is great, the prices are reasonable and the owner and staff are great as well!“

“Had lunch at Mama’s today! Very good 😊“
