Social Profile: 

Founded as a six-stool oyster bar in 1938, Wintzell’s Oyster House celebrates over 80 years as a dining landmark. While oysters—fried, stewed and nude—headline the iconic brand, Wintzell’s menu comprises signature seafood dishes like bacon wrapped shrimp and redfish bienville; regional favorites, including award-winning seafood gumbo and homemade bread pudding; and two specialties native to Mobile: West Indies salad and fried crab claws. With locations throughout the Mobile area, the walls of all Wintzell’s restaurants are covered with thousands of the founder’s homespun sayings, delivering an atmosphere that’s lively, casual and unmistakably southern. After 80 years, we’re still shuck’n!
Informal chain eatery serving oysters, fried shrimp & other Gulf Coast seafood, plus happy hour.

Wow! This is one of our favorite restaurants in Mobile. The Rockefeller oysters are so good. We just can’t get enough of them. The beers are cold and the atmosphere is really nice!!

We are home celebrating my 50th McT HS Class Reunion. When we’re home, we always try to stop by one of our favorite places to eat. Wintzell’s Oyster House is that place. We love their seafood gumbo. Actually we love everything on the menu. We had the combination lunch special. Fried shrimp, fried oysters, fried catfish & hush puppies & a side of grits. My wife had the same, but ordered a baked potato w/butter & sour cream for her side. The food is reasonably priced. We had an awesome server name Brandi, who provided excellent service to us. Thank you Brandi!! ❤️❤️❤️

Visited 11/2024. A local favorite. The house was packed as the night went. The oysters (raw and chargrilled) were ok : fresh but small. The red fish and grilled salmon dinners were delicious. Salmon salad was wonderful. Gumbo was really so so. Price was reasonable. Service was good.

Haven’t been here in a long long time but will definitely be back sooner rather than later. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Left stuffed and happy and for a family of 4 the price wasn’t too bad. I love the batter they use to fry the fish and shrimp. It’s not the corn meal batter a lot of other places use. We thoroughly enjoyed eating here.

I almost didn’t get set down good before my food arrived! That is exceptional! The oysters on the half shell were some of the best I’ve ever had. We had a party of 6 and our waitress wasn’t fazed at all. We also had the shrimp, West Indies Salad, fried catfish, and bacon wrapped shrimp. I didn’t go 5 ⭐ on atmosphere because the place can be a bit loud and was hard to talk.
This was my first time at Wintzell’s – and I absolutely loved it!

It tasted like there was no seasoning on any dish our group of 3 ordered. The shrimp was fine. Specifically, the catfish tasted like wet paper and grilled oysters had no seasoning at all, the fried oysters tasted like flour. The sprite tasted like carbonated water and the lemonade didn’t seem to have any sugar. Server was nice, made a few mistakes, and didn’t pick up a single plate throughout our entire meal. So, our table was just full of plates the whole time. Now that I think about it, she might have thought we weren’t done with the plates because they were barely eaten(for a reason). Atmosphere was decent but overheard two different tables near us also needing mistakes fixed.
