Bluegill Seafood Restaurant
BLUEGILL Restaurant
A waterside seafood spot on the causeway across Mobile Bay since 1958. Its signature flame-grilled oysters still sizzle when served.
Located on Battleship Parkway, the causeway that crosses Mobile Bay. It opened in 1958 and calls itself a genuine local joint. The Cooper Group, which runs Felix's Fish Camp, took it over and reopened it in 2010. The signature flame-grilled oysters are cooked over an open flame, drizzled with white wine and butter, topped with Parmesan and Romano cheese, and still bubbling when they arrive. Raw oysters, okra gumbo, and seafood po'boys are also served. Outdoor seating faces the Mobile River Delta, and it is a good place to watch the sunset. Live music is often featured, and boat arrivals get a discount. Service can be slow during busy peak season. The restaurant is about 9 km from downtown Mobile and is best reached by car. Expect about $25 to $40 per person.
