mobile is underrated
in town for shows at the civic and staying at malaga inn. Yesterday we hung out at the patio at the ice box then hummingbird way for dinner which was outstanding
today bobs downtown for breakfast (fish and grits/greens holy shite) and noble south for dinner later today, which we’ve been to before and greatly enjoyed
Mobile is great, cool downtown and seems really well policed and safe. New Orleans should pay attention

Yep great place
The haberdasher is one of my favorite bars—especially around Christmas
Noja and Nobile South are musts when we are in town

Enjoyed our stay there for the billy 2021 show. I’ve always thought it’d be nice to live in the sticks out near Saarland. Saw some good shows at Soul Kitchen over the years

Mobile is a nice city, respectfully. I have no hate towards them but I believe it’s rated properly.
You can’t compare it to New Orleans. It has 180,000 people while New Orleans has 1,000,000 people.
If you combine Mobile, Birmingham, and Montgomery, you still have only have 600,000, far less than New Orleans.

Friend,
Mobile is a miserable city. It is unsafe, the drivers are unskilled and rude, and the traffic is painful. Its king cakes are even worse than its Mardi Gras celebration.
Its downtown is meant to jargogle passerbys to assume it is a city of prestige and import, ideas that are laughable to anyone with time spent in Mobile. Its midrise 20th century fogscrapers are ugly and the bombastic spires are a predictable crowning for the peasants who claim to have invented Mardi Gras, an obnoxious and absurd and false claim. A drive down old Government St is all one needs to see the opulence of old Mobile. What a dilapidated place. Its money moved to the Eastern Shore, but even there I cannot tolerate for more than a few hours. Do not bother with the renovated Grand Hotel.
Gulf Coast Alabama has mastered destroying lump crab meat with their terrible West Indies crabmeat. Their attempts at poorboys, Debris included, are undeserving of the name.
If you enjoy European fare I would recommend Osman’s, a jewel in a sea of dross. It will remind one of small bistros set in small spaces that were quite popular in the 70s and 80s but have since fallen out of favor with modern diners. Mother, Uncle and I were seated next to Jeff Sessions at Osman’s the last time we ate there, nearly a decade ago.
I do hope, dear friend, your stay in Mobile is safe and as brief as possible.
Yours,
TulaneLSU
P.S. Mother mentions every time we dine in The Rib Room how it and the Omni are such wonderful places thanks to people like you.

I used to think Mobile was a tunnel. But stayed there (Spring Hill area) for a couple of nights in March. One of the most spectacular stands of live oaks I've seen. Just beautiful.
Seemed safe and clean for the parts I saw. Ate at Original Oyster House near the bridge. Stuffed flounder was very good.
I would never recommend someone visit NOLA now. Mobile - without hesitation.

A number of great places have been mentioned in this thread. I have a reservation at Noja on Friday that I'm very much looking forward to.
Venture about 30 minutes from downtown to The Lighthouse Restaurant in Irvington for some of the very best fried crab claws in all of Creation.
Via Emilia is another excellent choice outside of the downtown area. It sits directly across from the University of South Alabama on Old Shell Road. The menu changes seasonally, with strong northern Italian influence and locally sourced ingredients. Much of the menu is made from scratch, so meals can be slightly lengthy here, but I highly recommend it.
