March 2026: 4 Local Restaurant Dishes to Try

Pancakes at Bob’s Downtown Diner

“Nothing makes me happier quite like a plate of fluffy and buttery pancakes. I mean, who doesn’t love a sweet treat? The pancakes at Bob’s Downtown Diner are truly golden. And the best part? The warm maple syrup drizzled on top. Bob’s is the perfect spot to grab a bite to kickstart your weekend. With outside seating, you can enjoy a hot meal as you sightsee and watch the residents of Mobile take their daily strolls. On Saturdays, you can find me at Bob’s enjoying my delicious plate of pancakes.” – Victoria Finkley, Dance Educator, Sheffield School of the Dance and Danze 101 / Children’s Book Author

Chicken Biscuit with Honey at Bird Dog Chicken Co.

“On a quick run to Orange Beach for a meeting, I pulled into Bird Dog Chicken Co. for breakfast. I went with the chicken biscuit with honey and it went beyond my expectations. The biscuit itself will rank high on my best ever ranking. A warm, crisp, buttery homemade biscuit with chicken tenders that come out hot and crispy. The chicken is well seasoned and the honey on top adds the perfect sweetness.” – Grey O’Brien, Business Development, Employee Liability Management (ELM)

Bird Dog Chicken Co. • 4575 Orange Beach Blvd. #106, Orange Beach. 303-8555

Tabbouleh at The International Goat

“When I need a quick, healthy lunch, I make a beeline for The International Goat inside Piggly Wiggly in Fairhope. Their tabbouleh is the absolute best. The olive oil, parsley, lemon juice and spices are perfection! I could eat my weight in it. You are likely to be greeted by James, cheerfully offering various samples. Fair warning: linger too long and you may leave with new friends, great stories and a hefty tab. If you’re in a hurry, slide to the side for grab-and-go.” – Jennifer Jenkins, Founder and President, JJPR
