It’s the holiday season, and that means holiday get-togethers! Many of us have family and friends coming to visit from out of town. If you’re trying to keep your kitchen clean, here are a few of our favorite places to host your holiday get-togethers instead.
NoJa is currently one of the hottest and longest running restaurants in Mobile. Known for their variety of delicious dishes and warm atmosphere, NoJa has something everyone in your party will love! NoJa has even had celebrities such as KJ Apa (Archie Andrews, Riverdale), Robert De Niro and Vince Gill drop by for their astonishing Mediterrasian dishes. Personally, a favorite of mine is the maple leaf duck breast. It’s topped with a delicious, aged-balsamic cherry reduction and melts in your mouth! And be sure to save room for dessert! You will definitely not be disappointed with NoJa’s dining experience. You can make a reservation online or call them to make a reservation for your holiday gathering.
Boudreaux’s Cajun Grill is also a favorite of many locals. Located in Daphne and overlooking Mobile Bay, its view and authentic cajun menu have captured the hearts of residents and visitors alike. You can sit on their porch outside and catch a nice breeze, or you can enjoy the view from inside. Boudreaux’s has brought the cajun style of New Orleans right here to the Eastern Shore, so why not introduce it to your friends and family? Be sure to try their crawfish etouffee while you are there! Brunch at Boudreaux’s is also a great time to look forward to. They also have live music regularly, so be sure to check their website for those dates and book a reservation while tables are still available.
Moe’s was founded by friends that met while attending The University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) in Tuscaloosa and bonded over their love of BBQ. Moe’s is a classic southern BBQ restaurant that serves everything from pulled pork to fried chicken and catfish. With a wide variety of tastes and a great atmosphere, Moe’s is a spot loved by everyone. Moe’s is so loved that their locations spread from Maine to California and even across the border to Mexico! Your get-together will definitely be complete with Moe’s and their legendary food.
With over five locations in Louisiana, the company finally decided to open its doors here in Mobile. The Ruby Slipper offers catering to any party or event as long as it is not on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day or Mardi Gras. And you can find something for everyone as they serve seafood, breakfast foods and burgers! Be sure to get there on time because tables fill up fast!
Briquettes has been one of the most successful restaurants in Mobile since it opened its doors five years ago. They continue to leave customers wanting more after each and every trip! Briquettes offers private rooms for parties and events that can be booked if you go on their website or contact them directly. Their steaks are not only famous, but so is their salmon, chicken and sweet potatoes. After a trip to Briquettes, everyone in your party won’t be able to stop talking about how good it was, or maybe they will be so stuffed that the entire table will be quiet. No matter the case, Briquettes is always a perfect choice for you and your holiday party!
These are just a few of our favorite restaurants that can accomodate your holiday get-togethers. Be sure to book reservations soon as these restaurants can fill up very quickly. Have a wonderful time and eat lots of food! Happy Holidays!
