    Gumbo yaya

    So I came in and the guy behind the counter who I am absolutely sure I was bothering said "you can sit over there" pointing to a table in the front. Really unbelievable how specially for the prices of this place. After sitting here came over and said "what you want". Again I guess I was bothering him. I said I will have the fried ribs. He said "as an appetizer or as a dinner"? I said what is the difference? Meaning the dinner comes with either a larger amount and maybe sides. He said "there's nothing different". Made me think, then why did he ask if it's an appetizer or dinner? The gumbo was delicious. Great flavor. The fried ribs were good too. Could have been marinated a little longer but they did a pretty good job with them. The real off putting part of the evening was the waiter. He was a kid but had such a bad attitude. The only thing I can guess is this is the son of the owner and he was told he had to work tonight when he didn't want to. If that's not the case that he needs to be fired immediately because he just was such a prick. He literally dropped the tab on the table and never asked if I wanted a tea refill. He would talk to be across the room asking "is all good"? For heavens sake the hardest part of a restaurant is getting the food right. They need to get better more attentive help here. Fire the son! One last thing. Before I signed the check, I left my phone in the check on the table asked him where the bathroom is, across the restaurant of course since he doesn't come over. He pointed over in the corner. So when I was in the bathroom I came back . Apparently he decided to take my drink away and well I guess I was done. As good as the food was, I will never be back here again. Just unbelievable.

    Unique menu - smoked turkey leg? Yes please! Tried the Louisiana Monday leg, which had a unique and tasty red beans and rice with thin cut conecuh sausage. Delicious! Others tried the lamb burger and crab cake sandwich. Wish they would let you choose the side, but it comes with fries only. They were good but some people don't care for fries and the sides were the same price (a little pricey at $6 each). A lot to choose from. Prices were a bit steep; more dinner prices and no lunch menu(at least on Saturday). Portions were reasonable/not too large but for the price we expected to have enough for leftovers. Atmosphere was cozy, but service was a bit thin. Perhaps someone called out as the waiter was the only one on the floor and he did his best with the tables. It just took a while for the food and dessert. Dessert - was worth the wait and would get 6 out of 5 stars. Fantastic bread pudding. The sauce was to die for. The peach cobbler was good as well. Want to try the beignets next time but don't know that I can skip ordering the bread pudding! There were some tables outside of the weather is nice. Food was closer to 5 star but service time and prices make it a strong 4 for us.

    Location, Service, Food, Ambience... All highly rated from me. This is a black-owned gem of restaurant right here! First, the unique menu is the primary and most important reason to visit and get your eat on. We loved the turkey leg plate options; don't let the price fool you, You are getting bang for your buck, I promise! And I can't let this review end without highlighting that d*** good bread pudding... best I have ever had! And check this part out... they had ran out of green tomatoes to make the Fried Green Tomato appetizer, and I so wanted to try them...at first I was like well another reason to get back over here soon! But then, the very polite and friendly server we had told us that they had sent someone to get more green tomatoes, so we could order FGT after all! Not many restaurants will go out of their way like that! Let me tell you, them FGT was hot, fresh and banging... so worth the wait! Also, we didn't finish our turkey leg plates because they substantial, but I ate on mine for the next three days following! They give you an aluminum pan as a to-go box so you can reheat in the oven! I live about 2 hours from this restaurant, but I will be making an effort to get back to Mobile and bring others to this amazing spot! Keep it up! Keep it Open! I love supporting "us"!

    I could go on and on about how good the food was. How exceptionally good the service was. Oh and did I say, how good the food was. We got there right at opening time. So the employees and food was very fresh. If you have a healthy appetite and don't mind spending a little extra, every bite is worth it. Definitely hate they are closed on Sundays, cause we had planned on stopping back by in our way out of town. Certainly putting this spot on our stop in list. Til next time...

    ExcellentService, menu has many items eye catching, cost is perfect for the size meal you receive. Definitely a keep and will return again. Unsure if there is another Cajun restaurant in mobile this good.

    If you want to get full, this is a place to try. The food has a great taste and you get plenty. Friendly and helpful service and we liked the TVs on the wall. A little more upgrades and it would be an excellent place to hang out.

    Fried ribs
    LisaMarie S.

    This is what $16.00 worth of fried ribs look like from this place. Mind you, this is the second time this has happened. The first time I ordered "pick up", in the car on the way home I realized they were bad so I called and brought it to their attention. They apologized. Months have passed and decided to give them another try..... not sure how someone can pick these up and actually decide to plate them and think it's ok. Not only do they look unappetizing but they were also hard as rocks. A complete waste of $16.00. I'll never choose to spend my money at this establishment again.

    I travel through Louisiana Alabama and Mississippi for work and I gotta say this is the best gumbo I've ever had. Very rich and great portions. The service was great. And all in all It was a great stop and I'm glad I went here.

    Absolutely AMAZING! You must try this spot out if you're in the area. We were able to split the "Mac Daddy" turkey leg. Service was great & so was the ambiance. They played jazz music.. it was quite enjoyable.

    Had the pleasure of eating here on my last day in mobile and let me tell you it didn't disappoint. The young man serving us who I thought was cocky about the turkey legs being filling didn't lie!!! It was very delicious. Will definitely be back on my next visit in mobile

    Do they have a bar?

    I haven’t dined in. They have a bar where you pick up orders but I don’t remember if people were drinking at the bar.

    One star for the hush puppies…read more One star for our friendly server. Sadly, I can only give two stars to Wintzell's House in Mobile, Alabama. I should've listened to all of the advice from the locals on Reddit, who warned me that this place has fallen on harder times. The char grilled oysters were funky. I ate them but worried as I ate them. The hush puppies earned a star. They were pretty tasty. The were my favorite thing on the table. However, we asked for butter, and our server gave us packets of butter substitute. Doesn't this restaurant have real butter? The gumbo was fairly tasteless and also, they had chopped up whatever seafood was in there so finely that it all just turned into mush. If there was any seafood in there, I sure didn't taste it. The West Indies crab salad was a shocking disappointment. It was a scoop of crab meat, which they ruined by mixing it up with mayo. That's it. An ice cream scoop of canned crab meat mixed with heavy mayo. It's like they didn't even try. The bread pudding left very little impression. It was a little rectangular square. Our server misunderstood us when we said we wanted it topped with ice cream, and served the bread pudding alongside a bowl of five scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. It was a very odd dessert situation, but we worked our way through it. Our server was an amusing fella. He kinda/sorta made the evening. Overall, I'm glad I went so I could know for myself. However, I do wish that I had listened to the locals on Reddit.

I found the duck and sausage gumbo to be incredible. The spice was perfect, for my taste, and I'd order it again in an instant. I also enjoyed the empanadas - they reminded me of Jamaican beef patties, and I really enjoyed them. Their preparation of red snapper was perfect, in my opinion. Their draft options are limited, but the staff was very helpful in choosing other drinks. They had two different bartenders in my visits, and I believe both tried very hard to make me happy, even though I was just a random walk-in. They had quite a few locals who got to-go orders during my visits, and everyone seemed very happy with their food. Desserts are all homemade, and are good, and very large, even if not what I would traditionally call by the same name. Bread pudding was outstanding, but the cannoli was closer to what I would call a creme horn. In all, I would certainly return, and strongly recommend the duck/sausage gumbo. I'm
