Avery thing was great 5 stars except the bathroom. That was about a 3 star. We stayed at the Holiday Inn express in Saraland and the clerk. Recommended this restaurant and gave us a 10% coupon . We only eat fish seafood because we are prescotterian So this place hit the spot.

We were greeted and sat immediately. Our server was promt, fast, and friendly. The establishment was clean. We had the chargrilled oysters and they were very delicious as well as the fried green tomatoes. My husband had a cup of gumbo and he said it was tasty. The lunch special was stuffed flounder and it was yummy and so was the shrimp and grits. I like the grits alot. Needless to say we'll be back.

It's my understanding that Wintzell's was once a great oyster house. My most recent visit has convinced me that they have been coasting on an old reputation that, as time goes by, will fade, and the mediocre (and sometimes downright awful) food they serve will slowly define their new reputation.

On a quiet weeknight, I dropped by Wintzell's Saraland location for a bowl of "award-winning" gumbo and a beer. One can only speculate that the aforementioned award was self-issued or that there were no other competitors, since the brown liquid they call "gumbo" bore little resemblance to the rich, chunky stew this region made famous. Thin, bland and gritty with no discernible seafood or okra, it was dumped over a mound of white rice and placed in front of me with a fair amount of assurance (one might assume) that the typical customer is unlikely to complain. I didn't, except for this review. What would be the point?

A restaurant that takes no pride in their offerings doesn't care what their customer thinks, as long as more of them come through the door. A good reputation is not easily won, and can last longer than it's deserved. But time eventually runs out. A bad reputation is quick and lethal. Wintzell's appears to be on this path of self-destruction.

Local Hot Spot for Seafood

I was in Saraland earlier this year for business. While searching for an excellent place to eat, I came across Wintzell's Oyster House. Wintzell's Oyster House has been around for over 75 years and is a haven for seafood lovers of all ages. This is a small chain of seafood restaurants with multiple locations around the Mobile area. I was in the mood for oysters and was curious about Alabama Blue Crab so off I went.

I was seated immediately in this diner-style spot and was served right away by a very friendly and knowledgeable server. She helped me pick out items to try and helped me pick oysters for my oyster tray. I started with a very hearty Gumbo, served with crackers. The gumbo was thick, packed with flavour with chunks of fresh seafood. After the Gumbo, my oyster tray came out. I had watched as my oysters were hand selected and shucked before the server brought them over, They were fresh and plump and of course delicious. Next up was the Alabama Blue Crab Claws basket. I chose half sauteed and half fried. Don't be fooled by looks of this dish as I thought that it wasn't that big of a portion. I was wrong, I was stuffed after finishing the basket of claws. It was a really good meal and I can't wait to try some other items on my next trip to the area. If you're in Saraland or the Mobile area and looking for a good family spot that's not too expensive, give Wintzell's Oyster House a shot, you won't regret it.

Great food, great people, great wait staff. And they have Community Coffee and tea now! Wintzells just upped it's game big time. From seafood to hamburgers. Everything for someone can be found on the menu. Go experience it. You'll be happy you did.

Although we were there a few years ago, Wintzell's was a treat. The oysters were out of this world and the servers were so much fun. This was my first time in Mobile and it left a great impression on us.

The food was so good, l highly recommend this local favourite.

I eat out 2-3 times every week throughout the USA, this place was excellent, couldn't find anything bad to describe. The service was fast & curtious, the food was very hot & deliciously done to perfection. Ordered the fried crab claws for starters and one dozen Oysters Bienville, which was a little too much to eat, should have ordered 1/2 dozen. I would definitely recommend!
