Restaurants in Gulf Shores

“We had an awesome time at The Hangout tonight!! Spent a few hours jamming to the band before and after. Our family had so much fun in the restaurant and the band was making us laugh all night. The line and wait time almost made us change our minds, but they really make it worth it. I’m really glad we decided to stay. Drinks were all around amazing. Our daughter loved every minute and the foam party was really fun. 10/10 highlight of our vacation so far!! Ava thank you for the fun, fast, and attentive service! And thank you Six Piece Suits for the fun music and making the outside atmosphere great. There is a little bit of a long wait to sit at a table, but they provide so much fun outside before you go in we even had to come back for more after we had dinner. Put this on your to do list when coming to the area. Food and drinks came out fast as well. 💛”

I've ate at this restaurant many times from 2018 to 2022 and always loved the food, drinks and experience. we went tonight with new friends and were not happy with our server Taylor, not hospitable, my husband's filet mignon wasn't a great cut very tough, my tuna was a good fish but not impressed with seasoning, my kids both had fried fish and it was very fishy. then our server added credit card fee and thankfully manager refunded that five dollar fee. it was just a weird experience and no one really apologized. we don't mind paying for great food but the server was not kind acted like she was mad at us. I'm so sad”

She was pleasant, smiled, joked with us & checked on our needs on a regular basis. When we were done eating, we asked if she would take our picture with the car and she said sure! We asked for a couple of angles and she happily did it! The food was excellent, came quickly and there was a lot of it. We enjoyed everything about our experience!”

“LOVE this place:) had the tuna poke & it was ?? Jinny was incredible!”

“Great spot & absolutely the best chocolate milkshake around. Just get the 20 oz. 16 is for quitters. Sadly not enough pictures of ice cream- because we eat it too fast. My father-in-law seems to only be what we have evidence of being here. So here he is. Forever famous on Google. Before ice cream. Then sad after shake gone. 🍨 🍫”

“We went to the location off of Gulf Shores Parkway instead of Fairhope, but my brothers and I had been driving for over an hour looking around for a place to eat. Gulf Shores was seeing some volleyball tournament happening tonight and literally every other restaurant we went to was seeing an hour and a half or even longer of a wait time to be seated. We went to this location after everything else, we were seated immediately, and we were served by one of the most hospitable waitresses I have ever seen. Her name was Fiona and honestly she deserves the best people have to offer. Fiona, if you see this, we appreciate your service tonight! We have eaten at this location before and neither time have been disappointed. Highly recommend to anyone who is going to Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan.”

“The coffee shop was so convenient on my way out of Gulf Shores on my way back to Louisiana. The coffee pot in my rental unit broke and I was desperate for a cup of coffee. Then all of a sudden here pops up the cutest coffee shop. The lady at the window was so kind and quick. I will definitely stop by any time I’m in the area. Great service and excellent coffee!!!!”

“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!!”

“This place is great! The menu is mexican and the food is really good. I had a chicken burrito 🌯 and it was huge. Their refried black beans had such a good flavor, that I ate them 1st. The service was good, tho I know we were there off season and I'm sure during tourist season it has to be crazy busy. You have to climb stairs, but they have an elevator for handicap, just call them so they can send it down.”

“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”

“No Ms. Toni, will not go! Her AND Ms . Melodi leaving at the same time, had to leave for a reason. That's not a coincidence. They are the hardest workers in the industry I know. I went for them. I never cared for the food. All the good reviews have Ms Toni mentioned in it!”

The burgers are a standout: juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with toppings that take them to the next level.

Whether you’re here for a casual bite or to soak in the scenery with friends, this place delivers on all fronts.”
