    Catfish platter
    Jonathan R.

    I heard about Happy Tails Seafood from a coworker. I went there and ordered some lunch to go. I hadn't had any fish in a while so I decided to get the fried catfish platter. After I ordered I suspected that there would be a little wait. I saw other customers in the restaurant that had already ordered sitting down. For what it's worth I didn't wait too long. I'm not sure how long I waited but I would guess less than 10 minutes. It was a to go order so when I got food I went home. When I got home I tried my sides first. I ordered fried okra and an egg roll. The okra was very good. The batter it was fried in was delicious. It kinda had a Creole flavor. Now the egg roll was probably the best egg roll I've had in a while. I didn't expect to find really good egg rolls in a seafood restaurant. One more thing about the okra is they give you a whole bunch of it. I had some left over. Now the main dish was the catfish. It was cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend the catfish platter and also try the egg rolls.

    Special #2

    Food was very good. Decent prices for the amount of seafood that you get. The special number two is the snow crab section and a pound of steamed shrimp with corned potatoes and sausage for 21.99. My shrimp were a little hard to peel but other than that everything was very good. Get a side of the hush puppies for $1.99 well worth it.

    Got side of fried okra, and one of the best I've had. Plus, half pound was $3!!

    WOW !! On a friends recommendation. I gave them a try and holy cow. It was delicious. Got the number two special with shrimp and crab legs with the extras of potatoes, sausage and corn and got the spicy version. If you like spicy, this is what you want ( there also a non/ spicy option). It was delicious and the portions were extremely good. Best thing in these tough times is it was very affordable. Many other items on menu, so we will be back many times.

    Snow crab special

    Stumbled up on this hidden gem! Some of the best snow crabs I've ever had and I'm from Louisiana!!! They were full of flavor and cooked to perfection!! Priced better than the several other places we've already been to. The employees were very nice and friendly!! Will definitely be coming back just for Happy Tails seafood!

    Plenty of space to wait in line to order. Several small tables and chairs to use while waiting for your order. We ordered the sweet Buffalo fried shrimp and loaded fries. The shrimp were PERFECTION!! They were lightly fried and drenched in the sweet heat buffalo sauce. They gave us a side of ranch that was the perfect way to cut the heat and add to the flavor. The loaded fries on the other hand were somewhat off for me. They were soaked in a very sweet sauce, kindof like a bbq sauce, but couldn't tell. Sweet fries aren't my thing. Next time I'll order fries with just cheese. We also ordered a set of eggs. They were totally YUM!!

    This ia a $18.99 ($20) Seafood plater. And its STRIPS

    This is why I rarely eat out. This is from "Happy Tails seafood market 4880 Lakeland Dr, Mobile, AL 36619 This ia a $18.99 ($20) Seafood player. It came with fries which I asked to be placed on side. It came with two catfish filet'. I asked was this correct, she said yes. I pointed to the STRIPS and asked "Two straps come on a $20 Plater?" She answered yes. Well I'm done with Happy Tails seafood market 4880 Lakeland Dr, Mobile, AL 36619.

    Fish and shrimp platter, with egg roll and hush puppies.

    Have had several friends recommended this place so gave it a try. Ordered the fish and shrimp platter, ordered an egg roll and hush puppies as sides. Ok to be honest the fish wasn't my favorite, it was the texture/thickness and I should have asked what type of fish it was, so that one is on me. It was good but not what I personally like, now on to the shrimp. The shrimp were butterflied and cooked perfectly, excellent taste and texture...fresh gulf shrimp can't go wrong. The hush puppies were standard frozen hush puppies, but the egg roll, Oh My Goodness, it was outstanding, wrapped in a spring roll wrapper and fried crispy. I will definitely be going back.

    The service is always great considering how busy it gets especially around noon. Food is…read moredecent,portions good.

    You ever walk into a place and immediately think, "Yep... this is either going to be amazing or I'm…read moreabout to make a terrible decision"? Welcome to Judy's Place. Because this spot is not pretending to be anything. This is full-on, unapologetic dive. And I mean that in the best possible way. You walk in and it's like the '70s, '80s, and a little bit of someone's '90s basement bar all got together and said, "Let's not change a thing." Old banquet-style tables, a bar top that feels like it's hosted a thousand stories, and walls that have clearly seen some things. I loved it immediately. Now let's talk food. The folks next to me were deep into the chicken and dumplings and talking about it like it was a life event. You know that kind of table chatter where you start reconsidering your order mid-bite? Yeah, that. I went shrimp po' boy... and no regrets. Shrimp fried just right. Crispy, flavorful, doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Solid sandwich. The fries... eh, they showed up a little tired. Not terrible, just kind of there. A little cold, a little soggy, like they'd already had a long day. But here's the twist. You don't come to Judy's for perfection. You come for personality. For the feeling that you just discovered a place that doesn't care about trends, doesn't need a remodel, and definitely isn't chasing Instagram. It just is what it is... and somehow that works. Fold this into your expectations. If you need polished, keep driving. If you want real, pull up a chair. It's fun. It's different. It's got character for days. Four stars. And honestly, half the star is just for staying exactly the same all these years.
