Pancakes at Bob’s Downtown Diner
“Nothing makes me happier quite like a plate of fluffy and buttery pancakes. I mean, who doesn’t love a sweet treat? The pancakes at Bob’s Downtown Diner are truly golden. And the best part? The warm maple syrup drizzled on top. Bob’s is the perfect spot to grab a bite to kickstart your weekend. With outside seating, you can enjoy a hot meal as you sightsee and watch the residents of Mobile take their daily strolls. On Saturdays, you can find me at Bob’s enjoying my delicious plate of pancakes.” – Victoria Finkley, Dance Educator, Sheffield School of the Dance and Danze 101 / Children’s Book Author

Chicken Biscuit with Honey at Bird Dog Chicken Co.
“On a quick run to Orange Beach for a meeting, I pulled into Bird Dog Chicken Co. for breakfast. I went with the chicken biscuit with honey and it went beyond my expectations. The biscuit itself will rank high on my best ever ranking. A warm, crisp, buttery homemade biscuit with chicken tenders that come out hot and crispy. The chicken is well seasoned and the honey on top adds the perfect sweetness.” – Grey O’Brien, Business Development, Employee Liability Management (ELM)

Tabbouleh at The International Goat
“When I need a quick, healthy lunch, I make a beeline for The International Goat inside Piggly Wiggly in Fairhope. Their tabbouleh is the absolute best. The olive oil, parsley, lemon juice and spices are perfection! I could eat my weight in it. You are likely to be greeted by James, cheerfully offering various samples. Fair warning: linger too long and you may leave with new friends, great stories and a hefty tab. If you’re in a hurry, slide to the side for grab-and-go.” – Jennifer Jenkins, Founder and President, JJPR
The International Goat • 100 Plantation Pointe Road, Fairhope. 928-0239
Baby Oyster Loaf at the Bluegill Restaurant
“When it comes to oysters, oftentimes less is more. Such is the case with the baby oyster loaf at The Bluegill Restaurant on Battleship Parkway. What feels like a workman’s lunch from the bygone era of dockworkers shuffling bananas and lumber off of a schooner, the dish consists of a sweet bread hot dog bun, perfectly fried local oysters, ketchup, hot sauce and pickles. Match it with a cold domestic and don’t look back.” – Stephen McNair, Director of Policy & Legislative Affairs, City of Mobile
The Bluegill Restaurant • 3775 Battleship Parkway, Spanish Fort. 625-1998
