Wintzell's Oyster House

We absolutely love this place and well worth the 3 1/2 hour drive!! Casandra is one amazing waitress who’s beyond exceptional l!! She’s a natural when it comes to serving others in the restaurant industry! Her kindness shines throughout. She waited on us hand and foot tending to our every need. She has a kind and loving heart. Everyone was so wonderful to us at this restaurant. Cassandra stood out more than ever as she is all about her customers!! Thank you for this wonderful dining experience you gave my husband and I!

I was extremely excited for this as I had heard so much about the quality of food and the overall experience. Maybe my expectations were too high. The service was great and the food was good not great. The restaurant has character and could be a little cleaner. Parking was easy as it was right across the street but it was a Sunday night and if really busy downtown parking could be a challenge.

A perfect lunch spot while traveling! We enjoyed everything from the yummy food to the fun atmosphere to the top tier service. Kasondra was a delight, and she didn’t miss a beat. She’s the best restaurant server we’ve had recently. Wintzell’s has been around for a while, and we understand why!

This place was amazing 👏 The crab claws were packed with buttery flavor 😋 🦀 Every plate and every bite just makes you say yum after every bite 🍴 The blackberry cobbler and ice cream was perfect 🏅 We will def come back! The waiter Zach was the best. Just a great dining experience.

5 Stars – A True Southern Gem! After a long drive from Dallas to Destin, we were in desperate need of a break—and thanks to Google reviews, we stumbled upon this absolute gem: Wintzell’s Oyster House. Nestled in the heart of historic downtown Mobile, this place is packed with charm and character, surrounded by fun spots to explore. The building and interior have that Bourbon Street vibe—lively and colorful, but without the boozy chaos. The walls are covered with clever signs and sayings that make for great reading while you wait. We grabbed seats at the bar, which had a welcoming, local feel. The staff was warm, friendly, and genuinely made us feel at home. We started with a perfectly poured draft beer and a platter of fresh Gulf oysters that were the size of small beef medallions—salty, briny, and absolutely delicious. But the real standout? The gumbo. Hands down, the best I’ve ever had—rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. I could go on describing the rest of the meal, but honestly, this is one of those places you just have to experience for yourself. Some places simply get it right—and Wintzell’s is one of them.

This was the best seafood restaurant I’ve been to ever out of Virginia. The fish had a buttery taste to it that just melted in your mouth that someone gave me a piece of. I could kick myself for not getting fish. Grrr… I had the blackened chicken alfredo and expected it to be spicy but it wasn’t. **Who puts tomatoes and green onions in Alfredo what a shame. Not a onion fan. **⭐️⭐️

I absolutely love Wintzell’s in downtown Mobile! The wait staff is second to none! They genuinely love what they do and they love on their clients too! They even made excellent suggestions of other places to try and their favorite dishes there! Oysters and Old Fashioneds are my go to here but the red beans and catfish are incredible as well! Honestly, I’ve not had anything bad and we stop in often when we’re in the area!

The food is always cooked to perfection, hot, fresh, and quickly served. We come here often for date night and they have never disappointed us! Courtney our server was so sweet and checked on us often! I recommend the scallops or chargrilled oysters.
