The chargrilled oysters unfortunately came with quite a bit of shell, which made them difficult to enjoy--though we did manage to find some actual pearl in there, so small win and fun! The grilled fish and shrimp were noticeably overcooked, and my husband's fried shrimp leaned the same way, lacking that fresh, tender bite you hope for. Sides were decent but didn't particularly stand out for my grilled dinner. Husband said slaw and hush puppies were good, my green beans were delicious. Overall, it's a lovely place with great service, but the kitchen execution didn't quite match the setting. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a standout spot.

Supremely underwhelmed with the food this time but the service was still excellent. The restaurant…read morewas clean and well lit. As a family, we came to the Spanish Fort area during Hurricane Ida evacuation in 2021. The food was extremely good and plentiful. Fast forward to 2026, we revisited here and ordered the same seafood plates and was surprised how much they've reduced the amount of food. In 2021, I remember we had 3 catfish filets, imitation crab cake, hush puppies, numerous shrimp, and oysters and everything was hot to taste. It was so much food we needed take out boxes. This time, we were only given 1 catfish filet, four boiled shrimp, 4 fried shrimp, 3 oysters, another imitation crab cake, two cold hush puppies and a plate full of cold French fries. The sides were meh, with canned turnips that were so cold that I couldn't eat them and pretty decent baked beans that were actually tasty. Everything was seasoned very well but it certainly was not worth the $30 price point per person. There was a noticeable difference between what we experienced in 2021 and now. Suffice it to say, we won't be returning here again. Oh how I wish there were a Papadeaux's in Louisiana, Mississippi or the Gulf of Alabama area.

Cheers to even more fun times and the evolution of the FORT Container Park!

Five Stars all the way for Briquettes Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in early for dinner,…read morethere was absolutely no wait. My server, Braxton, greeted me with a warm smile and stayed attentive throughout the entire meal--he made me feel like a VIP. I ordered the petite filet, cooked medium-rare to absolute perfection. It arrived quickly, and each bite was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The sweet potato casserole surprised me--in general, I avoid sugary sides, but this was so worth it. Briquettes offers a fantastic range of sides, and I went with the grilled broccoli. The char from the grill gave it an extra pop of flavor, a perfect complement to the steak. They even brought out complementary rolls that were delightfully soft and warm. I judge restaurants by their iced tea, and theirs was spot on--refreshing, ideal for a hot Alabama summer. The veggies were cooked just right, and the added bonus of horseradish on the side took my meal to the next level. I actually finished every last bite--a rare occurrence for me! This isn't a bougie, reservation-only steakhouse like you find in big cities. It's a laid-back, hometown gem where you can pull up, park, walk in, and enjoy an outstanding meal without breaking the bank. I'm so glad it's close to home--Braxton and the team at Briquettes have earned a loyal customer. I'll definitely be back!

I have eaten at Briquettes numerous times, and it never disappoints. They have a few locations in…read morethe Mobile area, and I have eaten at the location on Montlimar and the location at the Eastern Shore Mall. My go to is their ribeye, and it is usually seasoned and cooked just right. But I took my wife and daughter to the Spanish Fort location for lunch and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The ribeye, although cooked to temp tasted like the chef poured liquid smoke on it. It even smelled like smoke. I took one bite and that was it. The waiter came over several times and never asked why I wasn't eating it. When I asked for the check, he asked if I wanted a box to go and I told him no way. My wife insisted that we take it home to the dog, but she wouldn't eat it either. So disappointed in this location. What happened?!? NOT RECOMMENDED
