Gambinos is decent Italian-American comfort food and easy to walk from downtown Fairhope.
I almost forgot about them. We’ve been there a couple of times. Good place to take the family as well. Our wait staff were excellent and the food was a good change of pace from what you normally get near the coast.

Another good one is Plane and Level. I haven’t been since they shifted to their current Italian menu, but everything I’ve had there has been delicious.

I live in Fairhope. Wash House is hands down one of the best. Just a few miles east of the Grand Hotel is Jesse’s. Those two are the best around here. It’s where the locals eat.

Looks like a lot of my favorites have already been mentioned. I didn’t see anyone mention Tamara’s but I like it, especially for brunch on Sunday. Master Joe’s has good sushi. I like Panini Pete’s for hamburgers. I don’t eat a lot of burgers but theirs are good. Locals has good burgers too because they have exotic meats. I like the lamb chops at Sage. I ate at Kingfisher and it’s owned by the group that owns Chimes and Parrains. I was so happy to be able to eat their BBQ Drum without having to drive to Baton Rouge. I’ve had some good meals at R Bistro, but it’s been years since I’ve eaten there so I’m not sure how good it is right now because chefs come and go.
I saw several mention Gambino’s. Oddly enough my favorite thing to eat there is a steak. Their Italian food there is so so, but their steaks are outstanding. I’m sure I’m forgetting a few places, but you got an accurate list of the better restaurants.

We’d go eat at Southwood a good bit for work dinners. Everyone has always loved what they got.
It’s really a great little restaurant.

Ate at Hope Farm last night and it was amazing. Everything we had was top notch. My daughter and I each had the short rib. My wife had the royal red pasta that she said was really good. My son had the wagyu burger.
They’ve got a martini cart that will make whatever kind of martini you want.
Jesse’s Saturday night was great too. The bone marrow butter option for the ribeye is an absolute must. I ordered it on the side instead of as a topping. The crawfish mac and cheese were outstanding.
Kingfisher Friday night has a really cool vibe. My wife’s entree was probably the best—pecan crusted drum. My son’s shrimp and grits were great too. I had the skin on drum which was ok—a little plain. Nice beer selection as you’d expect

Also surprised no one mentioned Tamara's which pound for pound is probably my favorite restaurant in Fairhope. Excellent brunch, solid dinner menu, and far and away the best happy hour with their combo of appetizer/drink specials you'll find anywhere

I used to go over there a bit 20-25 years ago….there was a restaurant I went to run by Jimmy Buffet’s sister. Is that place still open?

Market by the Bay was good last time we were there.

Doesn’t Kim Jong go there all the time?
