8. Hot Dog + Fried Okra from Dew Drop Inn

Some may be intimidated by the bright-red look of a Dew Drop hot dog, but take it from me—it’s nothing short of delicious. The hot dog possibilities are endless at this joint, which happens to be the oldest restaurant in Mobile. I personally love a plain hot dog, but chili and sauerkraut are readily available as toppings for those that enjoy it!
