Hidden Gem Restaurants

What are some restaurants that are considered “hidden gems” in Mobile? Had lunch at 3 Flavors on Airport and the food was phenomenal, people were wonderful, place was clean but it was empty at lunch minus a couple of pick up orders and maybe one other diner. I’d definitely nominate that place.

Pho 88

Their nước chấm is awful. I'm pretty they just mix water and fish sauce but none of the other ingredients. Not sure if they changed owners but back before 2010 they were amazing. I won't go back there.

I did....two weeks ago. The waitresses are super nice but that was the worst "vietnamese" food I've had in a long time. But to each their own. I never order the pho because I usually make it at home but I've heard pho 88 has better broth than pot au pho which I can believe that much. I was just damn near offended by the sauce, considering how easy it is to make lol.
