ONION RINGS AT JUDY’S PLACE
“Judy’s Place does an excellent job of greeting and taking care of their customers. When visiting, the onion rings are definitely a must-have — hot and fresh out of the grease with rich and amazing batter. I also enjoyed the wings (my favorite food), and I must say the cook did a fabulous job preparing every dish. This was my first time visiting Judy’s Place, and it will not be my last. Great job to Judy’s Place and the entire Judy’s team!” — Daniel Huggins, Chief Operating Officer, Children’s Medical Group, P.A.
Judy’s Place • 3977 Government Blvd. 665-4547

SOPA DE TORTILLA AT TAQUERIA MEXICO
“This is one of my family’s favorite spots in town. I’ve gotten this soup every single week for the past month — it’s that good. The broth is full and satisfying and is accompanied with tortillas and large chunks of avocado. The chorizo fundido, guacamole fresco and Tex-Mex sampler are solid go-tos for us every time.” — Michelle Parvinrouh, Executive Director, Innovation Portal
Taqueria Mexico • 3733 Airport Blvd. 414-4496

HOT DOG AT BATTLES WHARF MARKET
“A hidden gem on the Eastern Shore is the Battles Wharf Market. Settled in a former gas station just north of the Grand Hotel, you can find a little bit of everything here; they make great breakfast sandwiches as well as Boar’s Head wraps for lunch or dinner. But the real gem is their hot dog. Probably a not-too-distant cousin of a Dew Drop dog, you can go as deep as you want (think mayonnaise or jalapeños), but I usually go for a chili cheese dog.” — E. Lee Webb III, Commercial Relationship Manager, Trustmark National Bank
Battles Wharf Market • 18327 Scenic Highway 98, Fairhope. 928-4271
