“ I’m from Mobile and have never experienced this restaurant until last night. I was not disappointed at all. It’s such a nice and cozy little spot that has a sweet shop connected. Unfortunately we got there a little too late to enjoy the sweets next door but will be gladly going back for that. My husband and I shared a bowl of seafood gumbo, a shrimp po-boy, and the combination plate with the fried shrimp and crab claws. We left so very full and so very satisfied. Gotta love hearing some BOH banter while enjoying our meal. Go on now, go get that delicious seafood! ”
