Jubilee Seafood

Hard to find. If you are not familiar. Worth the search though. At the time of our visit social distancing was still the norm. They had clearly eliminated seating capacity.

Alabama legislature was in session. This was a "go to place" for legislators and lobbyists. The wife and I were amazed about the free exchange of information. It was fun being a "true fly on the wall. "

So how was the food? Best seafood I had our entire trip. We had spent considerable time along the west coast of Florida trying all it had to offer. Then here we are several miles from the coast and had the best seafood of all. The wife got pompano and I had snapper. Excellent. Seafood gumbo was very good. We were not served bread with the meal. I do not know if this was an oversight or Covid related. I guess I could have asked, but didn't I just say the fish was the best we had? It was huge. It was yummy and ultimately the bread would have not been worth the limited amount of stomach place left.

Stopped by last night as I was driving through Montgomery. The sign on the door said,"Closed until further notice" They appeared to be remodeling and I hope that's all. It would be a loss if it's for any other reason.

So sad to say but it closed the owner passed away really wish someone would open it back up .

Jubilee seafood is located in an unassuming building in cloverdale area. I had been recommended to go here by a friend who is from Montgomery and have only heard good things about it. I went for a dinner meeting and service was great despite the large group.

I had a house Pinot Grigio to drink and baked oysters for appetizer. Note that the oysters are topped with bacon. They were cooked very well and tasted great. For my meal, I had triggerfish which is topped with butter sauce, mushrooms, and crab meat. Every meal is served with rice pilaf and coleslaw. The fish was very lightly breaded and perfectly cooked, but needed more seasoning in my opinion. I would also love if they offered some type of green vegetable as a side option. Bread pudding for dessert was very good!

Loved this place the staff and the food all amazing. We even had a nice meet with Bud the owner he was a peach. Thank for all for amazing food and hospitality we will be back!!

I went here with high expectations after reading all the rave reviews. But I think this place is just fine. It certainly has a great cozy feel. But I'm thinking that there aren't a lot of great places to eat here, so this place stands out for that.

But for out of towners who are used to bigger and fancier, this place could be a disappointment. While my father-in-law seemed pleased, my husband and I thought it was simply fine.

Also, know that when it comes to the one steak on the menu, they only offer rare, medium or done. I ordered rare because you never know what you're gonna get. It arrived not quite done enough for my tastes and they happily cooked it a little longer. But even then it came back quite rare. I gave my husband the particularly bloody bits while I stuck to the edges.

The food here was really good and the service was amazing. We ordered off the special menu and it did not disappoint. The wine was good and the bread budding was delightful! Worth a try if you're in the Montgomery area.

This is one of my favorite seafood restaurants anywhere. Every year on a golf trip, our crew comes in to partake of the delicious seafood and steak entrees that Jubilee offers.

Start with the oysters and tuna dip. Get a bowl of seafood gumbo, and then move on to any of the entrees (I've had several and they were all delicious). Ask for the waitstaff's recommendations on food as there may be some seasonal variations.

Excellent food, excellent service, reasonable prices.

Small, but really special place that treats seafood right. Fresh, fresh seafood. Nice oysters.Great Gulf fish! Sauces complement, but don't overpower. Staff is always attentive. Gent at bar very knowledgable. Don't be surprised by a short wait. It's well worth it. If really wonderfully prepared seafood is you thing, this is the place.

I'm partial to the snapper and red fish. Red snapper with sauce or almandine are just delightful. Red fish blacken with chili sauce that is just right for the fish. The scallops are to die for!

My only wish is that I lived closer as it is a treat whenever we can have a meal.

This was my first visit here. I arrived about 5:45 pm. When I pulled into the parking lot, I was a bit perplexed because from the outside, it seemed like it wasn't even open. You can't see inside from the parking lot. Don't let that dissuade the prospective diner from entering through the door.
The atmosphere is casual and family friendly. I ordered the fried crab claws for an appetizer. I had never had these anywhere so I had no idea what to expect. They were lightly breaded and flavored well. Portions on all the food were more than sufficient. For dinner I ordered one of the specials, the Scamp. Plate presentation was nice. Service was fast with no long wait. My food arrived hot. My entree was served with a fantastic coleslaw that is made fresh in house and is not a mayonnaise based soggy goo. It's light and fresh, definitely try it at least once, and rice pilaf. I also tried the fried oysters...of course when I ordered the fried oysters I had no idea I was really ordering another dinner so I ended up with way more food than I could possibly eat! The oysters were large and plump, not like a previous establishment I had visited in the area in the past. They were served with slaw and fries. Nothing remarkable on the fries. All the food was lightly seasoned. There had been other sauces on the menu but I didn't try any with my meal. Tarter sauce and cocktail came standard. The place really filled up by the time I left but the service did not decline, even when busy. Not only for me but for the other patrons as well. The most significant 'negative' is the price. It's really a steep mark-up.
