This restaurant was so good that we ate there 3 times during our trip to Alabama! Our server, Tara, was excellent. She was friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable about the menu items. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone who loves seafood. We appreciated the owner stopping by our table to check on us as well. Great food and service.

I remember when this location was Mary's. The atmosphere is nearly the same. The food is delicious. I highly recommend the gumbo (Watch out Pirates on the island you might have competition) and the boudin egg rolls. The fried fish platter was excellent too. My dad has some health problems but he ate every bite! Service was wonderful. Everything was so good.

Southbound has only been open a few weeks as the date of this post. My friends and I enjoyed the food and the service very much. The restaurant is fairly large and has additional seating in an adjacent room, which would be perfect for larger groups. There were plenty of fried onions in this appetizer and they were done just right. I enjoyed the steam shrimp boil. It includes one pound of steamed shrimp, red potatoes and corn. I do suggest for people that have spice concerns or just don’t care for a lot of the crab boil spice, that they ask for half spice or to admit the spice on the vegetables. My husband enjoyed the shrimp Alfredo, which came with bread. One of our friends has a gluten allergy. They were very accommodating with their menu, allowing her to have a substitute side order of

Went during southbound's soft opening. The steaks are great(could use some salt) but great nonetheless. There is a small wait sometimes, but the food is worth it! The wait staff seems nice and attentive. For a soft opening, I'd give this place 5 stars and I will definitely be back for the grand opening to see how much they have improved.
