The Tin Top Restaurant & Oyster Bar

We were at Tin Top last week on our family vacation and had a phenomenal experience!!! The oysters are absolutely fantastic. All of them!!! Our service was prompt and dead on. We have eaten there for the past few years when we vacation and it keeps getting better. One of the best meals I have had in a long time.

We enjoyed appetizers and drinks at the bar while we waited for a table. Fortunately it was not as long as we were told.
Sat outside and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Great service.
I went to the original Tin Top fifteen years ago when my dad asked a local where to go. My family returned after my dad passed to toast a great man who enjoyed his family and delicious food.
Will definitely be back.

Place was so full we couldn't get in for an hour. Parking lot is terrible. It's a gravel lot with more pot holes than gravel. It was raining, and there were puddles up to 20 feet wide. Some were deep enough to knock your front end out of alignment.

Sorry to not recommend Tin Top because we’ve visited the old location for many years. Today’s visit was unacceptable and there are too many other good places in the area. They were not busy. We ordered Tin Top grilled oysters as an appetizer as soon as we sat down. We told the waitress that we’d wait to order our lunch since we did not want our food to come out before the appetizer. After about 30 minutes, we assumed the oysters would be there any minute, and went ahead and ordered. Our food was at the table within 10 minutes but still no oysters. Finally, after 45 minutes, and we’d finished eating, the oysters made it to our table. They were not what we ordered and actually the Dirty Dozen instead. The oysters, broiled fish, and crab cakes had so much pepper or blackening seasoning, we could not eat! The manager came to the table and said “sorry it took 45 minutes for your oysters” but did not offer to discount them a penny! Very disappointed!

This is always our favorite seafood place when we come to Gulf Shores! Great food,great service and great atmosphere! Love the new location ❤️

My favorite place to eat. The new location offers indoor and outdoor seating and service is always top notch. The chocolate raspberry creme brulee' is awesome. The oysters Margaret are the best around. Enjoy.

Honestly just not great.. The carbonated drink I ordered didn’t taste carbonated and definitely wasn’t a Dr. Pepper. My meal came out before my appetizer. The wait time was over an hour. Not great overall. Kudos for the shrimp and grits, however.

Best stuff porkchop i ever had

Exceptional food and hospitality!!

First visit for lunch and we truly enjoyed the staff, atmosphere and the food!! Beth was a fantastic server. Can’t wait to return again.

Stopped in for a drink last night after a very, very long day..came in to visit some family-iykyk…and was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and hospitality I received from Brittany! I’ve never felt more welcome at an establishment. She completely turned my night upside down in the best of ways. She was knowledgeable, quick, but in a way where you didn’t feel rushed. Like just another tab to close. After having a drink, and enjoying some positive chats, i left happy and rejuvenated, ready to go back to my crazy family with a positive attitude and good vibes. Thank you tin top but most importantly thank you BRITTANY for making my night, my visit, my week! I cant wait to come back!!!

Was in the area visiting a friend .. we went to this place for a chill night .. Brittany the bartender couldn’t be any more nicer and welcoming .. definitely an asset to the restaurant and when in town again will be going back to visit her.

Excellent food and service!

We have been to Tin Top several times at the old restaurant and now twice to the new restaurant. If you have never been don’t let my experience deter you from going. It is worth giving a try. Me personally it may be a while before we go back. I ordered a broiled Tin Top platter and my wife order the fried platter. I was surprised at being disappointed with the food. The restaurant was packed as usual. The food servers were wide open. I think my wife and I said very little to each other because of the noise. Overall I was very disappointed with this experience. I am not trying to keep you from going I was disappointed myself. Maybe my expectations were too high. There are other good seafood restaurants in Baldwin County that I will go to before I go back. But I will go back and try Tin Top again

Sunday Brunch, I had Chicken and Waffles. Waffles were good, Chicken was not edible were over cooked. Red Eye Gravy ham with poached eyes saltly and over cooked. 4 people in our group, 3 of us got our meals.and 4th person meal came 10mins. Later. Server was not listening to our orders. Very loud in Restaurant. 2 hrs we were there. Very disappointed. Gave us our deserts to go and got home and wasn't what we ordered.
