The food and service were both excellent. It was a treat as good service and good food are hard to find lately. Will return next time we are in the area. read more

Mr. Spud’s - Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and fried okra. - Southern Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

Food was good. Service good. The daily specials are good but got to get there before 1 or you may miss out. We had country fried steak was very good . read more

We have a new favorite restaurant in Baldwin County. I would say Fairhope but most people would think downtown...this out on route 181. We went there tonight, Tuesday, and the restaurant was as packed as most restaurants are on a Friday. Our server said people get in line at 3:00 waiting for the doors to open at 4:00. We got there about 6:30 and were seated fairly quickly. Our meals started with a cup of delicious baked potato soup and melt in your mouth yeast rolls. I wish the soup and rolls were on the menu as a stand-alone. (Our server said they do offer it that way but it's not listed on the menu as such.) My wife had the hamburger steak with sauteed sweet onions, fried okra and new potatoes. The hamburger steak was delicious with a seasoning that is hard to describe...just believe us, it is delicious. I had the chicken fried steak with collard greens and new potatoes. An excellent choice. Perfectly prepared with a wonderful gravy. As a side note, we noticed a diner near us getting a hamburger. It is the same large serving of meat as is the hamburger steak dinner. I am definitely going back to try that. Prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is very clean with a down home decor. The waitstaff is very friendly and courteous. We highly recommended this restaurant. You will have to wait a few minutes for your food but it's worth the wait. Have a glass of wine and enjoy that soup. read more

Great service. We came with a soccer team and parents and the handled us with ease. Food was really good and came out quickly. The biscuits with honey butter started of the meal right for everyone! Great little restaurant! read more

I love that after a long day of shopping I can pick up a family meal on my way home. 8 pork chops, collard greens, and fried okra. Makes everyone in my house happy. The food tastes like grandma cooked it. And all for under $40. I highly recommend this place. read more

At best, Mr. Spuds is average. The vegetables are basically dumped out of a can. I ordered the mashed potatoes which (unfortunately for me) came with gravy. "With gravy" was not specified on the menu and when I sent them a message suggesting it should be, there was no reply so basically zero concern for customers. read more

Get in my belly!! This place is quality southern cooking. Don't think Wednesday night church supper, this place is legit high end quality! The ham and bean soup starter, fresh bread with melted honey butter, and incredible portions of made to order food!! As Arnold would say, I'll be back!!" (a lot). read more

Always great food and service. Whether seafood, burger, rib eye steak or prime rib, everyone leaves happy. Consistent for years now.

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. We moved to the area a few months ago and we've driven by it a bunch but decided to check it out this week. It is really cute inside! Each serving is enough to feed a small army but the prices are very reasonable. We had fried pickles and I think there was an entire jar on the plate. The batter was light and they were fried perfectly. It was like that for the onion rings I got on the side of my sandwich too! What really made the meal was our server Tammy. She was so cute and sweet and took such good care of us. She totally made our day. I would go back to eat there just just for Tammy. This place is worth a stop, especially for a cheat meal! read more

Every time I've driven by this place it's been mobbed, despite not looking much like anything special. We happened to be in the area at lunch time, so we decided to give it a try. Very much an old-fashioned family restaurant, with options for everyone. Really enjoyed it and will go back again. Make sure you check the daily specials! read more

Excellent menu. You can get anything from a burger to a prime rib here Plenty of Fish and chicken options as well

Had my first trip to Mr. Spud's this weekend. Was greeted by Mr. Nolte at the door. The man was very friendly and welcoming. The décor was a family/country, but not overly done just enough to give the place some character to make it stand out from other family eateries. The place was very clean. Serving staff was quick, polite, and performed excellent. I really do appreciate the young lady who served us as our four year old lacks volume control, and I believe I spent half my time reminding my daughter to use her indoor voice. My wife also ask that here shrimp be grilled and not fried and with a quick note on her pad it was taken care of. No thought if it would be an extra charge or if the kitchen could handle it. We ordered an appetizer of crab claws which was good, for a half basket there was a lot in there. I ordered the oyster poboy the breading for the oyster was seasoned very well, and for a $12 dollar sandwich they load those oysters on there. I've been to some places that would make you pay double for that amount. I will admit however I messed up when I went there. I did not order the burger. Burgers were being slung out of that kitchen left and right and I could see why. The burger looked and smelled delicious. I regret my choice in the oyster poboy in comparison to that burger. It was a very good poboy, I'm just saying the that burger looked heavenly. Finally, I want to add one thing to this review. This place serves beer and wine. In the past I have past up this location because I did not think Mr. Spud's served beer. I was erroneous in my assumption. So safe to say I will be back to have a beer and one of those delicious burgers. read more

None of our go-to's for Shrimp PoBoys were open Monday and everyone had a hankering...so I Yelped and Googled and Mr. Spud's came up in the list. I was hesitant because I have heard great things about their steaks and the crab legs, but nothing about the seafood. Needless to say, we were not disappointed! Shrimp PoBoys, the combo platter with the stuffed crab and fried oysters, coleslaw, and fries. WOW! Also ordered the fried pickles because we had a visitor from across the pond, so wanted full-circle experience. So good and we will be back for more PoBoy!!! read more

Well seasoned vegetables. Mr Spuds Hamburger was cooked to perfection. The onion rings were homemade and delicious. The server, Aaliyah, was friendly and very attentive to our needs. read more

We found a hair in our food. It was a hamburger. They were nonchalant about it. We should have got up and left. We ordered the fried chicken and it came out cold. Could have been an off night but it taught us to get up and walk out at the first bad sign. read more

This is the best lunch place around! The "meat and 3" menu is absolutely fresh and homemade. No frozen or canned vegetables, no instant potatoes. The peach cobbler crust was absolutely made from scratch. The wait staff was also friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! read more

Good food. Quick lunch for under $15 bucks. The waitress was Prissy and she was excellent!!

Good lunch spot in very cute building both inside and out. Food is representative of southern staples complete with a meat and 3 special. Meatloaf and fried chicken are good. Vegetable choices for the meat and three special were decent. Fried okra and squash casserole were both very tasty but peas and carrots were straight out of the school cafeteria. Service is friendly and there are plenty of other choices in the menu if meat and veggies isn't doing it for you. Biscuits are superb!!!! read more

Great menu with great food! Open for lunch and dinner but closed from 2 to 4. Don't be discouraged if you have to wait, it's worth it.

Service is amazing, the food even more so. We had the onion rings with remolade, hamburger steak and gravy, fried okra and chicken strips. It was so good. Will definitely be back. read more

The food is good and the staff is friendly and accommodating. It's a popular place in town.

Our first visit to Mr Spuds was on a Friday afternoon at 4:30 pm. We were seated right away. By 5:30 there were already a lot of people waiting for a table. I had the Country fried steak with my sides being a baked potato and fried okra. My husband has the fried catfish with turnip greens and fried okra. We were brought small cups of complementary potato soup, which was good, along with two large rolls covered with a sweet butter which were very good. Our food was hot and crispy when brought out and very flavorful. The coating on my country fried steak was light and not greasy at all, as was the okra. My potato was very good, large and perfectly baked. It was served with butter and sour cream. The catfish was served with tarter sauce and was also very light and crispy and the fish was cooked perfectly, also not greasy at all. The greens were seasoned nicely. Service was friendly and prompt and our server came by to check on refills and that everything was good. No rushing on the check even though there was a crowd waiting. We got a chuckle out of the hand sanitizer bottles on the table compliments of a Funeral Home. Wash your hands folks! We will definitely be back, so many items on the menu to try! read more

Food was barely average for typical meat and three style place. Busy place but for us it was one and done.

It is like an old fashioned country cafe on steroids! Been there three times and have enjoyed everything. Yesterday, had the cube steak with greens and wonderful big lima beans. Topped off with homemade blackberry cobbler. My wife likes the fried whitefish. Our servers have all been efficient and friendly. read more

The biscuits are really good and our waitress was extremely nice. The chicken fried steak was premade patty's with that grainy frozen patty crust and the gravy did not taste above just ordinary instant. I was told their burgers are good but I guess maybe next time read more

We ordered take out due to COVID19! I didn't feel like cooking and we wanted to try somewhere new we have never ate. When my husband got home with the food, it was still warm! THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Everything was amazing from the sides to the biscuits to the chicken! We can't wait to go and eat here again in the restaurant! Usually carry out isn't as good but since this was amazing, we are excited to try it again! Great job! read more

All of it was spectacular, and I intend to return. My server, Jason, was prompt, polite, and answered questions about the menu well. I absolutely intend to return. read more
