    Fish shrimp and crab claw platter

    The food was amazing! When you walk in you wouldn't think the food would be this amazing. It just seems like a fresh seafood market but off to the side you can order your food. We walked in and there were many people sitting and waiting and I didn't know what was going on, but once I got my food and tasted it...it is completely worth the wait!!!! We orders a variety of things, oyster, shrimp, fish, crab and fries, fried okra, hush puppies.... Omg!!! Everything was amazing!!! I am so so happy we stop by this place on our cross country trip. If you come to Mobile, you need to try this place! I will definitely come back! (Well when I am in Mobile again. lol.)

    Full Shrimp Poboy , fully dressed with fries

    Service was quick for a Sunday afternoon! The shrimp poboy is stuffed full of shrimp and I notice they add lemon juice after then shrimp are fried which makes a perfect bite with some hot sauce and ketchup! The place was very clean , and seemed to be well kept by the staff! The poboy was 20 bucks , and they put more shrimp on it than 1 could eat in a sitting! They also will fry up a fresh fish for you for an extra couple bucks if you ask for it, Recommend sharing your food with someone if possible! The shrimp were cooked perfectly , not a single complaint about this place, amazing! EDIT: I realized that they don't use lemon and that I had put hot lemon pepper sauce on my poboy from Papa John's , let's just say it added just the right amount of zest to the sandwich , maybe something they could add themselves!

    The Seafood House is a great option if you are in Mobile, Alabama and craving a po' boy. As I walked in and saw that it was more a fish shop that sold hot food options, I was all the more eager to try this place. A po' boy is nothing fancy and I appreciate enjoying a po' boy in a more humble ambiance just makes it all the better. The ordering procedure is pretty standard. You walk up to the counter and order. When it is done, they call out your number. If you choose to eat it in here, you just take it to one oglf the older booths against the wall. The young lady that took my order was friendly and my food was ready in a relatively quick amount of time. I had the shrimp po' boy and it was very good and was decently priced. My only complaint is that they charge a "service charge" of three and a half percent if you use a credit cats and make no mention of it. At least let us know.

    Shrimp dinner!

    Hubby and I are from out of town, on our way to Orange Beach. Stopped for lunch on a Saturday. We shared the Shrimp Dinner (comes w/2 sides) with Onion Rings and Coleslaw. Just excellent! Fresh, tasty, and filling. Sure do wish we had this back home. DELISH!

    Good customer service and great food. Today I got a half of a shrimp poboy fully dressed that included mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. My side was fries. This was $11.39. Really glad I only got half since it is just me. Food was cooked to order and the shrimp are seasoned really well. Definitely recommend.

    Don't be fooled by the name. I knew it was also a fresh market, but I was thinking it might be more of a divided market and restaurant. I'll admit: I buzzed through a few food pics but didn't seem to pick up on the actual building. That said, I don't regret going the The Seafood House. It's a relatively small building with colorful paintings on the front windows. I knew before we walked in I had misjudged. It is more seafood market than restaurant. They obviously do a good business as it was busy even for an early dinner. You're greeted at the door by a ticket machine if there's a line for the fresh food. To the left there's an order counter for food. There are several tables that have seen better days across the front, and you can sit and watch TV while you wait for your food or eat. I get the impression most food is take out instead of dine in. The food itself is pretty good. You get a generous amount in the po boy. You get a half sandwich and side for $6.99 which is a nice price. The fried shrimp plate is also generous and came with two sides. My table mate got the corn but thought it tasted a bit mushy. It was presumably cooked in the boil so it did look maybe a bit oversaturated. However, it was an overall good meal for the only before hitting the road.

    First time here. Decent food. Nice staff. I had the popcorn shrimp with corn and potato. Shrimp could have been cook a bit harder. Interior of the business had a few tables for dine in and chairs for the seafood market.

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.

Their draft options are limited, but the staff was very helpful in choosing other drinks.
