    Beignets
    Kenzi F.

    We came in here for breakfast while exploring Fairhope! The beignets were definitely the star of the show!!!! Amazing!! The breakfast was pretty good too and hit the spot! The service was quick and so kind! We sat outside in their little courtyard and it was perfect!

    Rosemary Chicken

    Visiting my partner's hometown, they brought me here for lunch. It was PACKED for a Tuesday at 1pm, it took about 30 minutes to get a table, the outside host (man host) seemed bored and very dismissive. Once seated, the waitress was super friendly and nice. The food took another 30 minutes to come out. The food tasted decent enough to come back, the rosemary chicken sandwich could have a little more flavor, but the Muffuletta panini was pretty flavorful.

    Highly recommend. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so beautiful and welcoming. We were really hoping to try the beignets, but they were already sold out when we arrived at 1:00. Even so, everything else we ordered was wonderful and the whole experience made it a great stop in Fairhope.

    The squeeze of lemon was a great touch.
    Peapaud P.

    The turkey sandwich was very nicely balanced with a hint of the balsamic vinegar. The beignets were tasty, and the lemon juice was a good idea. Service is attentive and accommodating. Ambiance is pleasant in the patio, however I'd like to not see an overflowing garbage bin. Can it be moved to a corner?

    Quick, easy lunch. I loooooove a good panini and the rosemary chicken was so flavorful and pressed to perfection. Yummy fries and chips. Bravo!

    Grilled cheese
    Viola A.

    We came to Panini Pete's specifically because of seeing the chef on DDD and GGG. I had high hopes for this place because I love paninis. The service is what lowers the stars from 4 to 3. The servers seemed super annoyed that we were there and wanting food. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day. One of my littles ordered the grilled chicken tenders with fries and the other the burger with fries. I tried a bite of the tenders and they were really juicy. The fries were really well seasoned and cooked. It was a bit disappointing that the ketchup came in packets, along with the other burger condiments. I got the Rosemary Chicken Panini with homemade chips and the older kids shared a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. My panini was on the drier side and the chips were slightly overdone/burnt tasting. The older girls were happy with their grilled cheese. It was a struggle getting the server's attention for water refills, but the setting was really pretty.

    Great patio for dining. The service was great and the panini was delicious. Muffuletta panini with a side of shoestring fries.

    Chicken salad 1/2 order
    Angela M.

    We had the chicken salad with the balsamic dressing for lunch and beignets for dessert. It was some of the best balsamic dressing I've had. And don't even get me started on the beignets. They were so light and fluffy and moist. If I wasn't already stuffed silly, I would have eaten 10 more!! I would travel back to Fairhope just for these! Our server was great. Very prompt, funny and friendly.

    The patio fountain
    Meredith G.

    Charming, charming, charming! We sat on the patio canopied by a huge oak tree dripping with lights. There is a fountain in the middle and soft jazz playing in the background. I had the beignet breakfast sliders. Bacon and eggs sandwiched within a beignet, grilled and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Devine! Hubby had the chicken and beignets (think chicken and waffles). He cleaned his plate. Servers and staff were friendly and efficient. I would go out of my way to dine here again.

    House Roasted & Medium Rare Roast Beef
    Ron A.

    Fairhope has a reasonably quaint downtown, and Panini Pete's is located in an alleyway courtyard meant to be reminiscent of the French Quarter. PP is clean and the staff welcoming, which is why I gave it a four star rating. The French fries, Muffaletta and Roast beef paninis were good but not great. The food I'd rate as closer to 3 1/2 stars, but worth a visit if you're in the area...but not worth our returning on another 45 minute drive to get there.

    House roasted turkey panini, with an iced Cafe Au Lait in the background
    JD J.

    Panini Pete's is a tiny slice of what New Orleans is in a perfect world. Imagine walking down an ivy-clad alley to a restaurant without the stench of the streets wafting behind you. Imagine sitting at a corner of the French Quarter, petting the neighborhood cat, with no fear of getting harassed by a shirtless guy with 400 beads and a python draped over his neck. Imagine a crunchy, fluffy beignet that's actually worth the hype that you hear from people. Imagine going to New Orleans and receiving service, period. You get the picture. Panini Pete's did a great job at making a quaint, enjoyable space that reflects the best parts of NOLA. Food was fantastic. Service was absolutely outstanding -- the waitresses were incredibly nice and truly some of the best, most kind waitresses I've had in a long time. The kitchen quits breakfast at 10:30, takes a thirty minute break, and then picks up for lunch at 11, so keep that in mind on your visit. Either way, beignets are a must-get. My turkey panini was delicious, and so was my iced Cafe Au Lait, so whether you're on the early or late side of that 30-minute window, you can't go wrong.

    Their patio is worth itself a visit to this place. That fountian in the middle of the square is gorgeous to look at. All the little shops around, make it for a great atmosphere! Service is very cordial and welcoming. Food was good. Not great, but solid good. I super love the gluten free options they have on their menu! A solid 5 starts, also thanks to their sesitivity to GF needs. Great place!

    Steak and egg wrap
    Carson H.

    This was the cutest spot in the "Alabama french quarter" and had the most light and fluffy beignets that were so good and so many options for breakfast and lunch! The steak and egg wrap was delicious and I definitely will be back for lunch!

    We did a stop over in Fairhope and stayed at the Hampton Inn. The breakfast at this gem was…read moreexcellent. An original 1940's diner. Don't find many like this left around. We had the chicken fried steak breakfast with eggs and a biscuit and the biscuits and gravy plate that came with eggs your way and grits. The gravy has bits of sausage patty. We left full! The coffee was hot and kept coming. The service was excellent. We would make the detour when traveling on I-10 to visit here again...until then we will dream of chicken fried steak and biscuits.

    Oh man, we had left Pensacola early to come and tool around Fairhope. We've been here a few times,…read moreand we absolutely love the little town. But how in the world did we miss Julwin's before? I mean, we truly missed out on this little jewel of a place! Now, I can handle just about anything from Waffle House to Another Broken Egg, but listen, quit scrolling, and head over to Julwin's Restaurant. From the coffee to the biscuit and everything in between, you can tell that those folks in the back know how to cook breakfast. My wife ordered the Western omelet, and opted for the Spinach. I know we didn't take three sips of coffee before our food came out piping hot and fresh off the griddle! The eggs were perfect as were the hash browns. I like my biscuit as dessert, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Guys, we'll be back. There's no question Julian is on our must see list on our next trip to Fairhope.

    It was my wife's birthday, and thus she had the privilege to choose where we would go for brunch…read more I had previously decided that I would not dine at this restaurant again, not because I had some gripe about the food, which was excellent, but because their table arrangement in the main dinning area made it difficult for wheelchair bound customers, such as myself, to navigate. This was not a hard and solid decision on my part. Instead I had decided that if I had my druthers, I would not eat there. Of course when it is my babécita's birthday my druthers were of no consideration and I found myself again at Tamara's for a Saturday brunch. We arrived to find the main dinning area to be full, and since we didn't feel like eating in the open to the outside area, we learned that we had an estimated 20-30 minutes wait for a table. Their was six to eight customers waiting around the hostess's stand inside, with another six waiting outside under a covered area. We decided to wait outside, but after about 15 minutes a rain shower began. The kind people waiting on the benches and standing under the awning encouraged us to move in further from the edge where they we were getting wet. A couple standing moved into the restaurant to make even more room for us. The hostess, seeing that it was raining outside when this couple opened the door, came to the door and invited us all in, announcing that she would make room for us all. Which she promptly did. My wife had informed the hostess of my needs, and had requested a corner table for ease of access, but once inside the restaurant, I noticed that the table arrangement seemed less crowded, which helped to ease my concerns about getting to a table. As it happened, right at the 20 minute mark, we were informed that our table was ready, and we were led to a table, not on a corner, but to a table at the end of a row of tables, and against a partition. I found this arrangement even better than our requested corner table, as it meant that I had no foot traffic behind me that I might inadvertently bump into, or bump into me. I was grateful for the evidently experienced hostess working out such a fine alternative to our request, and doing it in such a timely manner. Now I get to the food, and wait staff service. All I can say is that Tamara's management has both pegged to the highest degree. Our waiter appeared immediately, took our orders since we had perused the menu while we were waiting to be seated. As for our food, my birthday girl had the Spinach Eggs Benedict, and I had the Fried Chicken and Waffles. Both were excellent. Neither of us had a single complaint, and my wife, who is fascinated with Tamara's long list of various types of Eggs Benedicts, promised that we will be back for many more visits to try each one. I am grateful that I was forced to forego my pledge not to patronize this establishment again, as it provided an opportunity to learn how the good people at Tamara's made adjustments that allowed my experience to be enjoyed more fully. I am also grateful in that we can continue to enjoy their excellent food.
