  • I have long been a customer of the original Wintzell's in Mobile Alabama, and look forward to my trips South, when I can belly up to the oyster bar and watch one of the guys who's been working there forever shuck oysters to order. And, while I'm not a fan of taking a concept that makes sense in one part of the country and transplanting to another part of the country where it makes no sense at all, I have to admit I was curious to see how they were doing at Wintzell's Pittsburgh. So we headed over for lunch today to see how it compared with the original. Our first impression on arrival was a little bit of dread, as there were no customers. I do not like eating at seafood restaurants where the turnover of fresh fish and shell fish is slow. So I skipped the raw oysters, and normally I would eat a dozen (sometimes 2) by myself. I started with the fried green tomatoes with crawfish sauce, which is a regular thing that I order in Mobile. The fried tomatoes were very good...not greasy, and coated with a nice batter. The sauce fell short of the mark, however. Not enough sauce and not enough crawfish in the sauce. Which is what happens when you have to fly food in because it's not locally made, raised or caught...you either skimp on that product to keep food costs down, or you charge a lot for it. They skimped. The fried catfish/oyster combo that I ordered was good...the oysters were actually excellent. Not the best catfish that I've ever had, but I eat a lot of it between visits to Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, so my bar is set very high. I thought they did a fairly good job with the fryer here, but if you've had fried food in the South...well, you'll understand. My partner ordered the red beans and rice (it's Monday, after all), with the intention to share our meals, but he ended up sending it back and ordering what I had. Not good, this red beans and rice. Overly salted and spiced, with not enough of the flavor of the beans coming through. I've never tried the red beans and rice in Mobile, so I can't say how it stacks up against the original. I like mine simpler, so it may just be a question of taste. Service was very good, if a bit rushed. Tracy was chatty and helpful, and we both enjoyed her company.
