Filipino Street Food Brings Big Manila Flavor To This Little Family-Run Florida Grill

A Filipino food truck that makes its own crab rangoons, and they sell out faster than the kitchen can roll them. That’s the kind of problem I like hearing about. The menu leans on lumpia, chicken on a stick, pancit, and adobo. Then a smash burger shows up and quietly steals attention from the classics.

November 2026: 4 Local Restaurant Dishes to Try

Bay Burger at Bay Town Burger Co. “Bay Town Burger Co. brings a fun, laid-back energy to downtown Mobile. I ordered the Bay Burger after the staff told me it was a crowd favorite, and they were absolutely right. The smash burger was seasoned perfectly, with beautifully crisp edges and a juicy center that seemed to melt in your mouth. It was served on a fresh potato bun that was buttered, toasted and just crisp enough to hold everything together without taking away from the burger itself. It was topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and Bay sauce.” – Shannon Harris, DNP, FNP, CCRN Associate Clinical Professor, USA College of Nursing / President, Junior League of Mobile.
