A well-known restaurant in Mobile is plotting a new location in Birmingham area location this spring, according to the local business journal. Wintzell’s Oyster House has been operating in Mobile since 1938 and is looking to venture out, with reports circulating throughout Alabama papers about where exactly. Wintzell’s recently closed its Northport location and plans to reopen it in Tuscaloosa in March, and a new Montgomery-area location is coming later this year. The restaurant is known for offering “Oysters-fried, stewed or nude.” The restaurant has 11 locations in Alabama as well as one in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Birmingham commercial movers have learned that the potential new location will occupy the old Costa’s Barbeque building on Chalkville Mountain Road, though there has not been confirmation to that suggestion.
