Wintzell's Oyster House

$$

Although it's now a regional chain, this local favorite for seafood has been in business since 1938, serving a menu of mostly seafood (especially fresh and fried Gulf oysters) from its original location on Dauphin Street. A local favorite, the original location has a lot more home-spun charm than the newer branches, with bare wood tables and walls decorated with hand-printed signs and slogans. If you want to try one of the signatures, go for the fried crab claws or fried oyster dinner. The menu even includes a couple of steaks for those who don't eat seafood. For dessert, there's "loaded bread pudding" (for two).

251-432–4605
Known For
  • Oysters, fresh on the half-shell and fried
