You think the best gumbo is in LoozyAnna? Well it ain't.. It's right here at Wintzell's.. Place is amazing. If all they served was that gumbo and everything else was made from rabbit turds, this...

This downtown restaurant is worth finding for lunch. The outdoor seating on the sidewalk is limited, but at lunch on a Tuesday, there was no wait. When we arrived, we waited several moments to be...

Good food at a pretty fair value. Service was friendly and attentive. Fried oysters were quite good, while the oyster stew was disappointingly bland. The cream of shrimp soup stole the show.

My husband and I were passing through Mobile and ended up having dinner here. I decided to give the fried pickles a try as I had never had those before. It was so tasty! My husband had the dozen...

This is a simple restaurant that does what it does well. Being on the gulf coast I went for raw oysters on the half shell with a few beers and never looked back.

I just returned to my hotel room after a wonderful experience at Wintzell's. The food was delicious and just what I hoped it would be. I came in with eyes bigger than my stomach, but since I was...

Other than Red Lobster, this is the worst seafood in Mobile! Service is always slow, the prices aren't bad but the food is mediocre at best. The atmosphere is fun and laid back. A good place to go if...

I made this a road stop on the way to Florida and had a delightful lunch. The service was very friendly and the place was fun to be in with its ten million signs. I had the Oyster Po-boy. I liked the...

I went here with a group of people, after a day of meetings. As soon as I stepped into the place, I noticed the smell, something smelled bad. I don't know what it was, but if you stay in there long...

Gumbo is awesome and the happy hour specials on oysters are well worth it. The rest of the seafood is good but nothing exceptional.

Wintzell's is an excellent destination for oysters. Do not expect to be wowed by the redneck decor, but stay for the food. Oysters Rockefeller and Oysters Bienville are superb. This is a GREAT...

Fried, stewed...........or nude - that has always been Wintzell's motto for oysters! And although they have historically been known for their oysters - all their seafood is fresh and local. You may...

I agree, a great Mobile classic. Great place to take visitors. Some of the best gumbo in town. Plan for an hour for lunch even when it's not crowded.

You just can't beat this Mobile classic. The old main street feel of the exterior leads to walls covered in funny sayings. And you just can't make up an awesome server like Kita. Cute as a button...
