50 Best American Restaurants near Bon Secour

“I tried the Tin Top for the first time today (lunch on a Saturday), I was dining alone, as I really just stopped by to check the place out. We are opening an Airbnb about a half mile for the restaurant and want to be able to recommend it to our guests. Food was pretty good, I had a basic hamburger and slice of key lime pie, I think that their dinners may be more impressive, as it is a popular spot. They have all you can eat on Wednesday, I believe it was mullet and catfish. They had a prime rib special on the board for $34. Overall it was a pleasant experience, however it took the staff 5 minutes to acknowledge I was there, they asked if I would like to be seated at the bar, when I declined the girl gave me a bit of an irritated vibe, she wasn’t rude, but just let her annoyance show a little, i was one person taking a full 4 top table. Once seated, it took my actual server at least 5-6 minutes to get to my table, she was very sweet, and super friendly. She got my order and bring my drink, she did a nice job of keeping my drink glass full, but my meal was delivered (by someone else) with no burger toppings whatsoever, just a burger on a bun with cheese… at $14 a little lettuce, tomato pickle etc is nice. It took her a while to come back and she actually noticed that it was a bare naked burger and fries, offered to run back and get toppings, that took another 5 minutes, bu this time my food was cold. When she stopped back she had my bill, but had not brought my pie (I preordered it with my food). She picked up the bill added the pie and you guessed it, it took her a really long time to come back with the pie, like almost 10 minutes. The pie is just key lime pie, it was not the best I have had and certainly by no means the worst, it doesn’t have any whip cream on it and it is a pretty small slice for $8. After I finished my pie it took a long time again to get my updated bill, and I actually had to grab her and just hand her my cr card to pay so I could leave. It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes to have lunch (1 person) it wasn’t real busy, I would say probably 60% capacity, and it was lunch not dinner, on a Saturday afternoon. I will definitely try this place again, as the food warrants a redo, but if the service is the same, this would not be a repeat for a 3rd visit, it good food, but not good enough to be sooo slow.“

“Food was great, and the bartender, Chris (Kris?) was attentive and friendly. Took dessert to-go and it looks lovely.“

“Three of us went with high expectations Two were well satisfied with Grouper and Lobster meals, I had a rib eye steak that was so tough that I was unable to eat. The manager comped the meal quickly with an apology, Believe this was a rare occasion and appreciate the way it was handled.“

“Great food and drinks..! Awesome spot.“

“Best hamburger and hamburger steak we’ve had in a long time! Seasoned to perfection, and absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly, as well. Overall great experience!!“

“The owner Anthony put his blood sweat and tears in this place. The food is always amazing. Everything on the menu is on point, fresh and consistent live music. Great atmosphere. Bartenders are very attentive. This is the best bar in lower Alabama and the best food in Gulf shores“

“nice staff.. great food.. plenty of seating activities there to do I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich and the baked 1/2 chicken is excellent!! comes with zucchini and roasted red potatoes! a little pricey but I got it 2 different times it's worth every penny!! they cook the chicken and pork in a smoker and the flavor is really good!! my husband had the Greek salad loved it!! Great restaurant in gulf shores“

“Wonderful place to eat. Friendly folks and great food.“

“Great coffee, food, and ambiance. I love this place!“

“Such a fun place!!! We’d never been there before and decided to give it a try. Absolutely did not disappoint!! The entertainment was top notch, and the food was just as good!! There was a mishap of a rather disgruntled guest there, and the Manager Brittany came over just to make sure we were all good. She was so nice and hooked us up with fun stuff. 10/10 place!“

“We went for a late breakfast after googling for a breakfast place. I'm so glad we did. Our omelets (western and Philly cheese steak) were delicious and the coffee was heavenly. Definitely stopping there on our way home, because their coffee and banana French toast are calling to me.“

“I had a great experience at the Culver's in Foley! I wanted their strawberry fields salad for lunch, but when I went to the drive through, a huge power outage in the area temporarily closed the restaurant. The manager came to my car to tell me this; I jokingly said I don't get my favorite salad today, I guess. The manager offered to make the salad without chicken, which was fine with me, and at no charge. This was such a nice gesture and was truly appreciated! I hope Culver's sees my review and appreciates the great customer service by this young man.“

“six stars :highly recommend this restaurant for the locales and winter temporary visitors it's a down home community center for young and old the food is outstanding. with food that will melt in your mouth. the experience is like fun park you must experience it to enjoy it.“

“This place is wonderful for families! Our four-year-old loves coming here because they let kids draw on the tables while you wait for your food, which is an awesome distraction. Richard is an amazing cook and server, and the whole team has always treated us great during brunch. My wife’s favorite is the red velvet waffle, and you can’t beat the $5 mimosas. If you’re looking for a relaxed brunch spot that’s family-friendly and serves great food, this place definitely delivers!“

“This is more of a clubhouse than a bar. It's a nice place for the residents of One Club but I wouldn't recommend it as bar for the public to visit. I visited on a Saturday night and they had line dancing lessons. I would think they would have this during the afternoon and not during the night when people just want to drink, listen to good music,and have a good time. The only thing that was great was the service. Cha Cha was one of the best bartenders I've experienced in the area.“

“Great Good, reasonable prices & amazing staff“

“Friends and I went for the Sunday morning brunch. The seating area has a very nice view. The brunch had an omelette made to order area with many add ins. There was a table with eggs, french toast sticks, fruit, bacon and sausage. There was a very nice variety Giant cinnamon rolls were delicious. The wait staff was attentive.“

“Great food! Isis was a great waitress! Loved the insults!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Belle's Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable staying a while and enjoying the experience. If you're looking for good food and great service, Belle's is absolutely worth visiting.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Highly recommend 💕“

“It was our first time eating at Culvers and we had a great experience. The burgers were fresh and tasty and I can tell they used quality ingredients. The kids ate the cheese curds before I could even have many. Pretty good root beer too!
We will be back.“

“💯 We usually just get their ice cream, but we stopped here and had their burger and BLT combos before we went to our movie. Our kids said their meal was better than The Hangout and these are the best fries in town! Nice and friendly service too!“

“This is one of my favorite spots to eat!!! The food is incredibly fresh and delicious and the vibe is amazing!!! Sitting on the back porch or in the captain’s quarters is so relaxing and a perfect spot to sip on your favorite beverage. I have to give it 10/10 ⭐️ The alligator cheesecake, the tuna nachos, the pizza, stuffed fried mushrooms , the burgers and the steak, I honestly haven’t had anything bad there. The owners Jason and Sarah along with Chef Matt have created an incredible experience with the freshest of foods. The staff is just as passionate and I absolutely recommend this restaurant to everyone!!! Love it!!!“

“Great food and a great staff they gave my father who is a veteran a discount on our bill today. Thank you so much. Ps my dad is 81 years old and hard for him to get around.“

“So I read the reviews just now.. í just started working here and find it to be super cool! The staff is great . I read there were unfriendly staff members . Well I can assure you whoever that was is no longer here working . Because everybody seems family like and super friendly and accommodating to all who come to the texaco summit . Great food , very clean and stocked and extremely organized too . So if your experience before was awful. Try again I promise you will see a huge difference. We are here for you guys . And happily so . Thanks for reading

“The food was great my family loved it and the service was excellent. The only problem was the 45 minute wait but it was because it was so packed 10/10 would recommend“

“service, food, atmosphere, all were great. Really enjoyed our visit. We will be back soon.“

“We got there at 9pm, thinking they closed at 10. They close at 9:30 on Sundays. They were SO kind to us. The owner/manager came out to our table to make sure everything was to our liking, our waitress was amazing. We got the red snapper, surf and turf, sushi, lobster Mac and firecracker shrimp. Everything was delicious. The macaroni by itself on the surf & turf plate was the best Mac and cheese I have ever had. Lobster Mac was amazing. Steak was perfectly cooked. The fish was the best I’ve ever had. The way they told us we could stay as long as we like. We were tired from the beach so we left about 9:40 but wow, I’ll never forget this place! Instead of being annoyed, they treated us like gold.“

“Exceptional. Holiday weekend. Positive and great service from the host to the servers to management who you could see was actively involved. As somebody who worked in the restaurant industry it literally makes me happy to see that. The food was ready quick, hot, fresh, and delicious. The space was clean as clean can be. We will always come back here. Kudos to this place because they are doing it right. Rare to get both good service and good food from a restaurant these days, but the folks on this shift nailed it.“

“Excellent service. Food was great! Highly recommend!“

“The food was some of the best we’ve ever had! The vermicelli bowl is so hard to find and it was soooo delish! The staff was so friendly and we will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely some of the nicest people I have ever met, and the food is always great. !!!!! The prices can’t be beat“

“We heard about this restaurant from a local and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing, the band was great, and we had fun having drinks and playing pool. Our food came out fast and was absolutely delicious, but the only downside was that service was a little slow. They were fairly busy the evening we went, and appeared to only have 2 servers working. But our waitress was very friendly, just having a hard time keeping up on a busy Friday evening. I would still go back and definitely recommend!!“

“Traveling to Gulf Shores for a little get away from snow and cold. Found this awesome little dinner! The food was delicious and service was top-notch! If you’re in the area, I highly recommend having a meal. Our breakfast was the best that we have ever had in vacation!!! ❤️“

“My husband loves liver and onions. That’s a dish I don’t cook at home. We’ve been here for 15 years now and on a regular basis we go to Kitty’s Kafe’ for liver and onions. He particularly likes the green beans. We love the people and the atmosphere. One day I’ll take photos of our cat to add to their collection.“

“You never know what will happen when you walk into a restaurant in a party of 15. MM 158 did not disappoint, though! In fact, the servers and the food were great! There was a kitchen mixup and one person's order was delayed so the waitress comp'd it. No need, though. It was delish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Great service and even better food! In-house hot sauce is the best, if you haven’t been I highly recommend!“

“This was by far the best food me and my husband have ever had. Would highly recommend!! Price was good, staff was friendly and whoever they had cooking that day was amazing!!! We got the blackened yellow fin tuna and bacon wrapped shrimp!!“

“First of all, The bread and butter was just, No flavor, No Barqs Rootbeer, No Dr. Pepper, No Italian Salad Dressing, No French salad dressing, COME ON!!?? The Service was 5 star Service. Nellie, was Very Sweet, Very fast and friendly, I loved her.“

“Amazing! The owner was fantastic. The server Jacob was amazing and Dallas the manager is phenomenal and we go back specifically for them! Phenomenal service thankful for them!“

“We are a large family. They sat us quickly and we had a wonderful experience. Carson was our server and he did an excellent job. He was kind to our kids, kept the chips and salsa flowing, was attentive without being too chatty, and was all around a GREAT server. All of us enjoyed our food and the kids portions were larger than expected. We will definitely be back!“

“Xavia was AWESOME!!! We had such a great time and the food was wonderful“

“Hands down, the absolute best ham salad on planet earth. I've had the BBQ ham sandwich and the turkey sandwich also; and both were delicious. I just can't get enough of the ham salad though. Yum.. You need to make this one of your go-to spots for lunch or even bring home a honey baked ham and some rolls for dinner. They have soup recipes too. Go, get some of the yum.“

“We recently visited this location for the first time in a while. Their quality of service is so much better now than ever before, imo. Kary was our server and she was phenomenal! The food was fresh, hot, and quick. We will definitely be coming back regularly.“

“While traveling down from Chicago, Illinois for our Christmas vacation, we were looking for something fun to do with the whole family one evening—and we’re so glad we found Gulf Bowl and Captain's Choice Seafood Restaurant!

We brought both families out for a night of bowling, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The bowling alley was clean, modern, and had a great atmosphere. It was perfect for all ages—from the kids to the adults—and everyone had a blast competing and laughing together. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience easy and enjoyable.

After bowling, we grabbed dinner at Captain’s Choice Seafood Restaurant inside Gulf Bowl, and the food was fantastic. Fresh seafood, generous portions, and great service. It was the perfect way to wrap up a fun family night during the holidays.

Traveling from Chicago, it was great to find a place that made us feel welcome and gave our families such a memorable experience. If you're visiting the Orange Beach area and looking for family-friendly entertainment plus great seafood, this place is a must-visit.

Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!“

“The service is excellent, the food and drinks are delicious, and the view is stunning.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Gulf Shores!“

“Great food and people! Always a good time~“
