About the restaurant
Dumbwaiter is reminiscent of the nostalgic southern charm for which the city of Mobile is so well known. While quirky and quaint, this vital kitchen tool serves as an example of early restaurant innovation . Likewise, our restaurant integrates modern technology with the charm of yesteryear to provide a first class dining experience. The Dumbwaiter represents our commitment to carrying on the tradition of excellence from the kitchen, to the server, to your table.

The Noble South Restaurant - Southern Cuisine - Farm to Table

Our favourite downtown Mobile restaurant. A true farm to table menu as it changes frequently but there’s still the OG staples like deviled eggs and pickled shrimp that we chose for appetizers. The portions are sensibly sized allowing for multiple courses to be sampled. (the Bouillabaisse and Bavette steak were delicious). They have a fully stocked bar for a cocktail of your choice and a small but very good wine list. The service is friendly and unobtrusive and the overall atmosphere relaxed. Highly recommend the Noble South.

I took my mother to The Barn at Hope Farm for lunch today. We shared the BLT and also had chicken salad. The BLT had pesto on it which I loved but my mom did not - she's not an "adventurous" eater. We both loved the chicken salad and the fries were amazing! I got a chamomile tea to go because it was freezing out today and it was delicious! All in all - great lunch experience!

It was our (my wife's and I) first experience at The Royal Scam, and I was beyond impressed! The ambiance was amazing, our waiter Connor was exceptional (explaining the menu, the specials, and even offered recommendations to elevate our experience), and the food...delicious would be an understandment! 11/10, 5 Stars, all of the above! Thank you to The Royal Scam team for making this an memorable experience. We will definitely be back!
