BURGER AT FISH RIVER GRILL
“I absolutely love the large, juicy hurricane burger with all the fixin’s, including bacon, cheese, jalapeños and mushrooms. Amazing hushpuppies and spicy cheese curds, along with their famous swamp soup, made this birthday celebration one to remember. But I saved no room for the tempting dessert offerings! Maybe next time, because I will be back very soon.” — Cecil ChristenberryOwner, Old Tyme Feed & Garden Supply
Fish River Grill19270 Scenic Highway 98, Fairhope. 928-8118

CHATEAUBRIAND AT THE WASH HOUSE
“My usual go-to is the scallops, which are always amazing. Recently though, a friend suggested I try the Chateaubriand. If I’m getting steak, it’s usually a filet, but I dove in and ordered the upscale version. Rare in the middle and served with asparagus and mashed potatoes and gravy, it was a great choice and one I will repeat once the weather gets cooler, if ever!”— J.C. Barker, General Manager, Mobile Symphony
The Wash House 17111 Scenic Highway 98, Fairhope. 928-4838

SPICY SHRIMP FROM RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE
“If you are in Midtown Mobile and have the opportunity to dine at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, do yourself a favor and order the spicy shrimp appetizer. You won’t regret it. The shrimp are lightly fried and served with a tangy cucumber salad, green onion and a lemon wedge. I promise they will be gone very quickly, and you will have to stop yourself from trying to order another round!” Lucy Pryor Slaton, President, Junior League of Mobile

TUNA BLT AT SUNSET POINTE
“A tuna BLT is one of my favorite summer sandwiches, and lunch with friends at Sunset Pointe in Fairhope gave me an opportunity to order it on a particularly hot day. The tuna was fresh and perfectly seared. The tomato was one that Rick Bragg would approve of, and the bacon added a taste of decadence. It was served on a ciabatta bun with seasoned mayonnaise and paired with a wonderfully tart slaw. ” Marietta Urquhart, Commercial Associate & Realtor, White-Spunner Realty
Sunset Pointe 831 N Section Street, Fairhope. 990-7766
