Restaurants near Dauphin Island

“I’ve been going here with my family for the past 10 years when we are visiting on vacation. It’s not a beach trip without visiting the bakery at least 3 times during the week. The turnovers are great. The pigs in a blanket are addicting. I love their croissant sandwiches and biscuits and gravy! Lighthouse Bakery is a staple in the community. Would recommend this place to everyone to go try.”

“This place is awesome, will definitely go back!!”

“Overall had a good time but would be lieing if I said it didnt fall a little short. This restaurant has some real potential. To start with everything was good, but not impressive. This restaurant is very beautiful, new, and has a nice ambiance. The food and service were both a 3/5, I would've loved to leave this place a 5 star but there was too many reasons not to.

Service- We had a decent server, she lacked a little knowledge about the menu and drinks but was kind and did a alright job. There is no single bartender or host so all the servers were making drinks which took the attention away from the table itself so there was prolonged periods of time with empty drinks. Less importantly, I was disappointed with the sports bar staff attire given its easily the 2nd nicest restaurant on the island.

Food- The food was good but not great, fortunately the prices did reflect that which is a extreme positive. $20-$25 for a entree and that's accurately what its worth. Two downsides of the food was most of the table had chicken, it was obviously the cheapest frozen chicken breast they could buy. Some chicken was way to soft and pasty while other pieces were chewy. Additionally no crust or seasoning at all. Secondly the grill cheese was overcooked, granted the simplicity and slow pace of the restaurant this was a big oversight in my opinion.

Overall a 4/5 and most importantly I would come back, but id be a little more cautious about what I ordered.”

“Ordered three items and all were delicious. Everything was made fresh. Definitely recommend highly!!”

“Great place, great food!”

“I am blown away at this place!!! 100/10 ALL AROUND!!! The staff was extremely friendly and gave us really great recs for things to do around the island! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and was so sweet. I got an iced white mocha and a cheese danish and was not disappointed. The danish was so tasty and had an amazing flavor. My coffee was top tier also! I will definitely be back here AND recommending this to my friends and family!”

“Our favorite place on the island. It feels like a small town bar and the bartenders are always so friendly. Such a great place to visit. Would highly recommend stopping by for a drink.”

“Tucker said that Magnum said that Uncle Vince said this Krispy Kruncky chicken had THE BEST fried chicken on the island. I can now confirm that this was true! Shout out my guy Ray for hooking us up. Give this man a raise!!!”

“We are from KY and visit often. Each time we are here I have to get a loaded tea. 100% recommend 🩷”

“Great food! I loved the view. Highly recommend giving Dockside a try!!!! you won't regret it.”

“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.”

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

“Great milkshakes and ice cream! Friendly staff!”

“The food was delicious! I got the BBQ sandwich and my daughter loved her cheeseburger! Great stop if you are waiting for the ferry. The ice cream was exceptional as well!”

“Absolutely the BEST FRIED SHRIMP in the area!!! (and hush puppies) Great service. A must stop.”

“We eat at Reel Deal regularly. Their food is delicious! Love the pulled pork and baked potatoes. Don’t miss the egg rolls… not what you typically think of as egg rolls, more like spring rolls 😋”

“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”

“We have eaten there two times this week and very pleased with food and service both times!”

“Being from Galveston TX i like my seafood, working in area we tried a place called the Bayou which was a popcorn greasy mess. So google search sent us here and it did not disappoint. Shrimp was perfect, potato was perfectly cooked. Service was great. Will be back if in the area working again. We'll done”
