Restaurants near Dauphin Island

“Our FAVORITE place on the Island! This is always one of our first stops every year we come to Dauphin Island! The nicest people you will meet and the food is amazing! This trip we even made two stops. 🤍 Thank you for making a lasting impression. See you next year!”

“We were passing though the area and came upon the shop online. We picked up a picnic selection of broccoli salad, Boo’s potato salad and ham and cheese sliders. All were home made and fabulous! For dessert, we had key lime pie, which was truly exceptional. A great meal! While chatting, I inadvertently left my credit card at the counter. The ladies at the shop remembered that I was a real estate broker and found my contact info online and contacted me. I was so grateful. What extraordinary people at “What’s for Dinner”. Love the food and love the people!.”

“5th time to the Island and finally had a chance to stop in and try it! Amazing food on both sides from the Husband + Wife combo. Now it's a must to stop in whenever we are around 😎👍”

“Great food, fast friendly service. Got Tacos, Quesadillas and Awesome Queso! 😎👍”

“This is always our first stop upon arriving on the island. As soon as we come across the bridge, we head for a shrimp po'boy with a view! The food is always awesome, the beer cold, and the service friendly.”

“Best food and views in the island!! Our waiter Madison was fantastic!!! I highly recommend a trip to Pirates!!”

“We were on the island for a girls trip and were talking about taco pizza back home being so good. The workers heard us talking and mentioned that theirs was the best. Jokingly I said let us be the judge but we hadn’t ordered it. After we got done eating our pizza and were paying our bill, we were presented with a free taco pizza to go so we could test it out. It was amazing and so was the service.”

“So glad we found this gem today. Really great wedge salad with shrimp and the Cuban sandwich was the best we have ever had. But the best part was they are so dog friendly. Our dogs got all sorts of snacks and everyone working was so friendly. I can’t say enough good things about this place.”

“fun atmosphere with delicious food and great music! we were able to let our 4yr old run around outside while enjoying sliders, drinks, and live music. Definitely worth stopping in- excited to finally try them after many years of visiting the island”

“I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun we had on a Friday night. It was my first time visiting the establishment, and everyone was so friendly. I actually sang karaoke ? several times and just had a blast. We will definitely be returning real soon.”

“Smoothies were great! Need cheaper option for some who may not want the protein and such. But we really enjoyed ours. Owner who took over 3 weeks ago was amazing!!”

“this was our last meal out, I was insistent that we eat there..we had already eaten at island seafood, pirates, Lambert's...ALL wonderful ..three of us had seafood fettuccini, a bit of salt and pepper helped it, brother in law had red snapper, it was tough and no flavor, my wife's chopped steak , she could only eat half .tossed the rest. then waited 30 minutes for our $56.00 to go order, while it sat in a bag on a table getting cold for my son in law absolutely no excuse....if I could give it a one, I would. will not be back. Lastly, I prefer to tip based on merit....for a place to automatically charge a 20% gratuity...it certainly wasn't worth it. I also clicked on DO NOT RECOMMEND...looks like voting machines from 2020...”

“Burnedet is so amazing . She is the main reason I come. She always welcomes me with a smile. How are you? She always remembers what I like on my sandwich what I don't like and most of all I can tell. She's really happy I'm there”

“Thankful for this cafe as we waited in the heat of the ferry line. Soda and ice cream goes a long way to helping pass the time.

Parking: Not a lot of parking, but you are most here because of the ferry line.”

“The best ribs you will ever have! Great food! Friendly staff.”

“Amazing food! Best on the island”

“Great pizza! I get it every time I visit Dauphin Island and highly recommend.”

“Had the fried fish platter for dinner by the recommendation of Jim the manager. I must say it was delicious! I would definitely recommend coming to check it out. I tried the Bushwacker frozen drink too. Also recommend trying that also.”
