While in Alabama, we went to Wintzell's Oyster House. We searched online and saw that it was one of the iconic places to try in Mobile, so even with a 30-minute wait upon check-in, we didn't mind.
Wintzell's sayings are plastered all throughout the restaurant |
It actually turned out to be an hour wait, but we did spend some time exploring downtown while we waited, so the wait wasn't all that bad.

It sure was a lot of fried food! I did order the West Indies salad, a popular Alabama dish, but they had run out of it.
I did enjoy everything, but I thought the Fried Green Tomatoes, served with a Crawfish Sauce, was just okay (I thought they were underseasoned).
I did love the Award-Winning Seafood Gumbo (dubbed as Alabama's most award-winning Gumbo), which consisted of shrimp, crawfish, crabmeet, okra, and tomatoes. It was bursting with flavors and I regret not ordering a bowl instead of a cup.
The Fried Dill Pickles were addicting, and the Fried Crab Claws are a new fave! What a fun way to eat crab! The Blackened Chicken Alfredo was delicious as well.
Service was great, and we had a really nice dinner full of Southern faves at Wintzell's.
Highly recommend arriving early, or be prepared to wait!
