The Mobile roundup

At the beginning of March, Mel and I went down south to visit my brother in Mobile, AL. Since we were on vacation, we decided to splurge a little and eat out a number of days. Over the next week I will be doing in depth reviews of some of the restaurants (with pictures), but for now I wanted to give a short overall summery of our experiences. Also I will be doing another review of a local GR eatery. It is exciting for me to be able to do this again, as it has been a few months since Mel and I have been able to eat out.

Seafood
Wintzells: This is one of my favorite places to go get seafood when visiting Mobile and Destin. Great gumbo, fresh oysters, perfectly fried fish, and a good selection of non-seafood items. Also have great fired dill pickles.

Dewy Destin's: The place to visit for seafood when in Destin, Fl. Fresh seafood brought in on the boats. The restaurant is literally right on the water, boats can dock up to it. Prices are decent, but they have gone up quite a bit compared to what it used to be. But the product is worth it.

BBQ
Brick Pit BBQ: Seriously good BBQ. Easily in my top two BBQ places I have ever been to.

Saucy Q BBQ: We went based on reviews we read online. They were wrong. I'll leave it at that for now.

Other:
Jason's Deli: We got the Muffaletta sandwich. It lived up to the reputation of the New Orleans classic. Also they make a pretty good pot of Gumbo

Zaxby's: Similar to a Chik-Fil-A but offer a little bit larger selection of sandwiches.

As I said, I will be doing more in depth reviews of these over the next week. Also I will be doing on on Bagger Dave's (apparently I never posted it), and a revisit to Electric Cheetah. Welcome back everyone.
