I’ve eaten @ Panini Pete’s for lunch a couple times, been well pleased. It was also featured on Diners, Drive Ins, & Dives…

What kind of restaurant are you interested in? I am in Fairhope often.

My favorite upscale place is Wash House, which is just west of town. It is 1 mile past the entrance to the Grand.

The Chimes group opened a place in Fairhope called Kingfisher. It is really good.

Ravenite Pizza is good.

Dragonfly Food bar is good.

Hope Farm is currently #1 in my list. Make sure to get the martini cart to come by and lake you a drink.

Jesse’s down the road in Magnolia Springs is always on our rotation as is the Wash House
