Best Southern American Restaurants in Fairhope

Once again we enjoyed the First Dibs offering. It was my third First Dibs. This was December so it was gumbo, slow-seared pork chop and an apple-apricot dessert paired with sips of 3 complimentary wines. It is fun to try different menu items. I have not been disappointed yet!

Great place in downtown Pensacola. Always a good meal, good service, and good ambience.

Had a great experience the first time we were there. This time was still good but not the same. the Service in Sister Hen is outstanding. The service this time in Bother Fox, not so much. The room was freezing and our Server forgot to tell the manager to turn the ac off since it was only 50 degrees outside. They were not busy although they were out of some of the menu items that we loved from a couple weeks ago. Special was just the fish of the day. The server did not know that we were in Sister Hen and had Hendricks Gin there and told us they were out in Brother Fox. Waited and they finally served Hendricks Gin. Our Server was very good and I realize they were just doing what they were told - so not their fault. Then we finally tried the Paella - it fell short of all the other items on the menu. The seafood was over cooked and the rice, although cooked - was not crusty as in Spain. So that was a disappointment. Their wine list is awesome and had a little of something for everyone. We will still go there since the appetizers and cocktails and Sister Hen are AMAZING - but just something to think about. Consistency is a big deal - and we are locals. Onward and Upward. We will be back for the experience as I mentioned before.

The Noble South is always a treat. Great service, innovative food options that put a twist on traditional southern food. I really appreciate the knowledgeable wait staff with great recommendations. I will return again and again.

Overall we enjoyed our evening. The hotel was decorated for Christmas and was beautiful to walk around and see the hotel's history and Christmas diplay. The dinner started with a disheveled and seemingly unhappy hostess. She certainly could care less that we were there. Our waitress, Rachel was pleasant and very friendly. She was knowledgeable about the menu and shared some details about the hotel's hstory. My wife had the scallops and I had the mushroom alfredo with steak. My wife did not like the scallops and only ate half of her meal. She stated that something was off with the scallops and did not appreciate the bacon risotto. My alfredo was good and very rich. The steak was properly prepared and seasoned well.
