Food was meh. Small hotdogs and burgers. Not the best quality. Good iced tea and mac’n cheese. Nice local feel in the restaurant.

Just a great vibe here. You can definitely feel the history. The hot dog is a must as that is what they are known for, but other menu items are solid as well. I will always get an order of onion rings. The hamburger reminds of school cafeteria, but in a good way. Service is friendly and prompt.

For reasons unknown to me I had never eaten at the Dew Drop. I worked near there years ago and I have often visited Mobile, Alabama since that time but never ate there even though it is locally renowned. I finally gave it a try this Christmas Season. It did not disappoint. Their renowned Hot Dog was unlike any hot dog that I had eaten before. It was so good, I ordered a second one. The steak fries were so superior in quality and taste than what establishments serve. The tea was just right – not too sweet. The staff were hardworking and great. As a bonus two toddlers in highchairs were fun to watch because they seemed to be enjoying the place so much they were not fussy. The staff was very courteous & friendly to their moms and the babies. The parking and entrances can be deceptive . It’s difficult to park in front however there are two side drive entrances that can take you to the rear where there is plenty of parking space not visible from Old Shell Road. It was an overall pleasant experience with great food. I personally don’t mind paying for quality like this. Nothing is worse than paying for food that is horrible or sucks that can barely pass for pet dog food which is becoming more common. The Dew Drop clearly has a higher standard.

A Mobile Classic, my grandparents used to go out on dates here back in the 50’s. Dew Drop just celebrated 100 years. Truly such a cute diner- the food has always been spectacular! I ordered the Double cheeseburger which comes with chili on it- so good! And I got a half order of onion rings and fries- because who doesn’t love a little bit of both?!? Their soup of the day was Shrimp and Corn soup and it was really good- the flavors were on point. The staff are always speedy and friendly. You’re able to get in and out pretty quickly- but note majority of the time they are pretty packed so you may have to wait for a table a time or two. Parking is kinda all over the place but overall it’s worth it !

Historic old place with decor to prove it. Great service even tho busy, delicious food. Had cheeseburger they are famous for with chili. The chili is more like sloppy joe and an amazing addition! Steak style fries were crispy outside and soft inside and delicious. Local art adorns the walls for a unique experience unlike anywhere else and most are for sale! Definitely would recommend.

Loved the DDI! I had read about this oldest restaurant in Mobile & have wanted to try it. We opted for the daily special, the hamburger steak with gravy. He had Mac&cheese & turnip greens, I had lima beans & mashed potatoes. All delish! We couldn’t eat it all! We will be back – next time to try the famous hot dogs!

We are completely regretful… For not going at Dew Drop Inn before today!! We own a place in Mobile for over 10 years and it’s been over 5 years that we told ourselves that we should go…
About the saying for Dew’s hot dogs being the best: yep! Simply out of this world!! Fully loaded and tasteful. For the record, we were with 2 hungry teenagers (after a nearly 3 miles walk!) and they were full after one hot dog…
Also, try the onion rings: clearly hand made with a great pepper zip. If you think A&W’s onion rings are excellent, they will be #2 after you taste the ones at Dew’s.
Finally, the service: warm, welcoming, fast, smiling and doing the extra mile to make our visit a great experience! (We’ve had home made Gumbo soup samplers that were delicious).
After a visit, you will understand why clients always come back at the Dew Drop Inn

The Service was fast and friendly, but the food was just ok. I tried the shrimp poboy and although the shrimp were very large they were cold and not crispy and the bread was more of a hotdog bun than poboy bread. Chili dogs were great though.

Best place to get your hot tongs. Especially an upside down dog of where the weenies on top, and all the Goody stuff is, underneath that way, it doesn’t spill off the hot, tall, the when’s are actually boiled in beer. Some of the best food that you can ever find located near mobile and firmly on old shell road.

I have been wanting to visit this place because every time we pass by there is a nice little crowd. We finally got the chance to stop in. I will definitely be going back again. It had a nice atmosphere nothing fancy you felt good just casual and just taking it easy there. Of course we wanted to try the famous hot dogs. They we’re good but the onion rings were absolutely delicious! I would be happy just to have a plate of those because they were DELICIOUSLY CRUNCHY! We will definitely be going back there.
