They’ve got a beach all around for the kids to place in, it is dog friendly, the food is good, and the drinks are amazing. Pirates Cove made the best Bushwacker I’ve ever had. It was strong and delicious. Very cool atmosphere and the staff is great.“

“Absolutely amazing restaurant. The inside is classy with some of the most comfortable chairs. The light fixtures were unique and really elevated the decor.

For the appetizer we got the yellowfin tuna traditio. It was extremely full of flavor highlighting the ocean ambiance.
For dinner, I ordered the petite filled mignon with smoked bone marrow butter. It was incredible. The fillet was cooked perfectly. It was buttery and full of flavor. I ordered the purple sweet potato Gnocchi as a side. It was perfect. They give you individual portions and the Gnocchi wasnt too heavy which made for the perfect side dish. Super unique, and awesome.

It was our anniversary and we got 2 free chocolate strawberries and ordered the thirteen layers of chocolate cake. It was delicious and had an amazing texture. I loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Delicious drinks and food! Offered to accommodate my gluten free allergy. Have THE best Cesar salad dressing! The grilled chicken was perfect and the chicken wings with the Alabama sauce was delish! Perfect view of the bay. Come by boat if you prefer! Bring your pup! Highly recommend.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I love the price list! Decent food reasonably, and excellent service. Go there as often as I can.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!! ❤️“

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

“My daughter and I were there with her 10yr old golden. Of course we asked for outside seating, and were told an hour wait. Hostess did not get my phone # correct so when I didn’t get the welcome text I went back in. Another hostess changed it and neither one apologized for their mistake. Never broke a smile. Sooo we wait, and wait. Watched so many be brought in who clearly had not been there longer than us, empty outside tables with no one sitting there. I went back to the hostess stand to see how much longer, “it could be 3min or 15”, really. We finally got a table after an hour and 35min. We were put at the table next to the steps coming out on the patio, while there were two more tables open on the outside corner of the patio. Out of the line of traffic. Our golden was almost stepped on several times (one being the rude hostess) and the constant jarring of the ppl coming up and down the steps was very annoying. Imagine trying to enjoy a meal that you have waited two hours for and your table bouncing around. Our waitress was great and the food was excellent! Hostesses need to learn some manners as to how to be polite.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Second time I've been to a Culver's and I have not been disappointed. They legit have some of the best, if not the best, hamburgers I've ever had. The customer service was excellent too. The milkshakes were surprisingly not as good as I expected, but damn if everything else wasn't. I'd you need some classic American food, go to Culver's. Enjoy!“

“The food was delicious, and Amanda was a great server!“

“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!!!“

“Such a great restaurant inside of this wonderful resort! We ate here several times on our stay during the summer. The service was fast, the staff were friendly and the food was always fresh and so delicious with filling portion sizes! My husband tried his 1st ever chicken n waffles here!“

“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

“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.“

“The LongHorn Steakhouse in Gulf Shores was excellent. It was a Friday night and the place was packed but the wait was not that long and well worth the wait. Everyone was professional and polite. Our server was excellent and it was just a great all around night out. Our meals were prepared perfectly and our server took care of everything in a timely manner. Strongly recommend this eatery.“

“Thank you guys so much for the fabulous experience! I was a little skeptical at first, but the experience from the hostess to our waitress was great! I had the crab and shrimp combo. The flavor was awesome! The dipping butter kind of took away from the fabulous flavor. I'm a steamer fan from now on!“

“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“

“💯 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!“

“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.“

“Great food and Great staff as always😎 It was just another awesome trip to the Robertsdale Waffle House.“

“Best BBQ I have since coming Alabama! Tried a couple other place in town, but they all tasted like leftover food. Blue Line's was fresh and delicious, plus the service was friendly and professional.“

“We held our company client appreciation event at The Gulf Bowl recently and wow!! We had around 300 clients attend and the feedback was amazing. The facility provided everything we needed to accomodate that large of a group. The food was so good and everyone raved about it and everyone had so much fun! The main thing I want to highlight is The Gulf Bowl staff that worked the event. From the very beginning to the very end every detail was well thought out and executed. I worked directly with Megan Long, the Event Coordinator, and she was top notch! Very attentive to my needs, great communication, so kind and helpful, and very good at what she does. We will be holding this event at The Gulf Bowl each year from here forward because the turn out was so incredible. Highly highly recommend!“

“A wonderful lunch, and the staff are just fantastic with MaKayla being the star ⭐ of the restaurant. Thank you for the lovely warm welcome. I now have my waffle house mug as a souvenir. 🤩. We shall visit again all the way from the UK. X“
