Skinnyz is owned by Jennifer Polvere, a native Mobilian
(Alabama) who loves the Gulf Coast, her family & friends.
The Skinnyz name was created from Jennifer being called
"Skinny Jenny".
The "Z" came from her liking of the ZZ Top Band's signature
"Z" design (band of the 70's). The décor of Skinnyz is a
collection of memorabilia from the Coastline of Mobile, Gulf
Shores, Biloxi, Pensacola, and anywhere else in that nearby
vicinity! Our food is prepared fresh each day and with the
freshest & best quality of ingredients.
The Signature menu item, "Crab Clawz", is Jenny’s favorite.
The crab finger (claw) comes from the blue crab in the Gulf
of Mexico. The warmer the waters, the larger the
crab…claw! By hand, each claw must be cleaned of tiny shell
pieces encasing the tender crabmeat attached to the
cartilage. It takes a lot of claws to make up a pound! Hence,
a costly but desirable entrée & probably the reason you don’t
see them in restaurants north of Alabama! We truly hope
the Skinnyz concept will provide you the ultimate relaxing
and fun place to be whatever the occasion! Thank you for
visiting us!
Your friend and hostess,
Jenny

 Former Mobilian celebrates Mardi Gras in North Carolina
By
Press-Register staff - Posted to the Al.com Blog on 2/16/2010
MATTHEWS, N.C. -- Native Mobilian Jennifer Polvere now lives in North Carolina, but that doesn't stop her from celebrating Mardi Gras.
"I have attended Mobile's Mardi Gras and balls for 30 years plus, regardless of where I've lived," she wrote the Mobile Press-Register in a recent e-mail.
On April 15, 2005, Polvere opened Skinnyz Bar & Grille, a "beach-style restaurant" at 15060 Idlewild Road in Matthews, N.C., near Charlotte.
"I decorated with all of my collected Gulf Coast memorabilia and items sent to me from various places along the Gulf Coast," she writes. "I've had Mobile's Police and Fire Chiefs visit Skinnyz, as well as many folks from the Gulf Coast area. Guess they need/miss the crab claws -- and yes, I have them! My fresh seafood comes in from Bayou La Batre and other Gulf Coast areas."
And every year on Fat Tuesday, Skinnyz is host to what Polvere calls "the biggest Mardi Gras celebration in Charlotte."
"And it is all about Mobile," she adds. "After I return from Mobile's Mardi Gras each year, I wear costumes and past ball gowns and throw the beads, moonpies, etc., for about four hours."
The band she hires for the evening must visit a Mobile Web site to learn Mardi Gras tunes to play, she said.
"They love it! It is so much fun; just wish more of my Alabama friends could visit us."
