Best Place to Eat in Mobile?

Heading to the game this weekend and wanted any suggestions for food places?

It's a good place for seafood.  I forget the names of the places, but if you drive east from the U.S.S. Alabama there are a couple of places on either side of the road.  I forget the names, but you can't miss them.  They are very popular, but good.

Always though Half Shell Oysters is the best place to go for the money. IF you like seafood.

Updates, with a little local knowledge from my host:

 

Ate at Via Emelia tonight, right across from campus on Old Shell Rd. The Eggplant Emilia is the signature dish but I went with a great piece of fish (corvina) with shrimp and crab over the top. Not a fan of bread pudding but tried my host's and it was pretty, pretty good. The Bolognese Lasagna will be choice next time I am there.

The best in town seafood gumbo is at Wintzell's.

Apparently, Mobile Bay oysters are pretty incredible (Murder Point is one of the best local farms) but Texas oysters are currently the most popular/flavorful. Bluegills is on the Causeway. They serve a Drago's style oyster that reportedly emulates Drago's pretty well. Famous Flaming Oysters.

Shiso has the best sushi in town. Great shashimi. Try the soft shell crab appetizer.

Las Catrinas De Rosy apparently has the best taco. It is in a Shell station....don't let that bother you. It's in Daphne, on the way to....

Buc-ee's 35 minutes east of Mobile.

Safe travels, and let's go home with a belly full of WIN.

I’m going to Wintzell and bar hop on Dauphin St. Hayley’s Bar is one of my favorites.

Original Oyster House I believe is what you are referring to
