“I'm very disappointed. 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”

“I just wanted to say that the manager was excellent. My husband is a blind veteran. Michael/manager/catered to us was great thank you for cleaning the bathroom. Excellent customer service would recommend to anybody.”

“Nearly 3 hours to get food in a restaurant that was not very busy. Food was average and not worth the wait. Worst part is they don't care.This used to be a Fort Morgan iconic restaurant. Not anymore.”

“Best food I’ve ever eaten. No doubt. Shrimp was excellent. Crab was amazing. Waitress was nice and the bartender made the best amaretto sours”

“We walked in, saw the car & we asked can we sit at the car table and we were immediately seated. Brittany S. was our server and was fabulous. 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!”

“Last week I called to order for a customers job site, spoke with Natalie and from the first call to her arriving on the site, everything was absolute top notch! I had 130 people to feed and was worried to be honest, but the communication, the service, and of course the food itself, went above and beyond my expectations! For anyone looking to feed a crowd, give them a chance, you will not be disappointed!”

“We stopped in right before they closed...and to be honest the staff wasn't overly friendly, but the coffee was good. I would be willing to try them again...hopefully next time the staff will be "happy" at Happy Pappy's.”

“Italian sandwich, toasted, add olives... the BOMB! Homemade chips were great, too! Waiter was fun and such a nice guy...everyone working there seems happy to be there which makes for a nice atmosphere!”

“Great food, super friendly service, very affordable! Recommend giving these guys a shot if you’ve never tried!”

“Will certainly be our go to place next time at Gulf Shores. 5 star review!”

“They usually have great food, but today was a disappointment. I ordered the Scotch Egg because they prepare it with a soft boiled egg and serve it on the best slaw on the planet. Today, the egg was nearly hard boiled, definitely not soft. That's one star for menu fulfillment. I showed the bartender and he said "Sorry. I will let the kitchen know." No adjustment to the check. I was charged full price for an item that didn't meet their menu. That's one star for customer service.”

“The OmG poboy was delicious. Shrimp perfectly fried and super fresh! Even the lettuce and tomato tasted like it came from the garden. The tomato was perfect. I loved the sample of swamp soup, also delicious. I wanted to taste the gumbo, it also did not disappoint! Hush puppies perfectly flavored. Fries and okra fresh. Service was friendly, wait time was appropriate. Highly recommend. It does have an old vibe to the building. I’m guessing it was an Asian restaurant prior. Overall absolutely amazing, it’s definitely on my return restaurants in Foley.”

“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. 🍨 🍫”

“Who would've thought you can find an actual legit taqueria in Gulf shores? Well, here we are and this place has some good birria. Would recommended for some real Mexican tacos and food.”

“Stopped and got food on the way home. Fast friendly service. The food was amazing as always and even Togo it looked fantastic.”

“We tried this diner the first morning we were in town for the 52nd Shrimp Festival. We were so impressed with the huge menu, the fabulous food, and the amazing service, we went back several times while we were there. Everyone there was so nice. Our server, Arwa was precious and created a truly joyful experience each time we were there. I hope we have the opportunity to visit Gulf Shores again soon. This place will be one of our first stops!! 💝”

“great unique flavors very nice and pleasant stuff would definitely go back.”

“Cowbell is my #1 favorite place to eat in Gulf Shores. I highly recommend their Turtle Tracks but substitute Biscoff for the pecans. It is chef’s kiss!!”

“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.”

“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!!!!”

“It was a great experience! Everything we ordered was amazing! Staff was friendly. We had fried pickles and jalapenos, a burger, buffalo chicken salad and a Moscow mule. Live music -Jesse Bumann was perfect- just the right loudness and relatable songs. Great voice. This is a MUST for our next trip to Gulf Shores!”

“Our waiter was the best , he was so attentive, not only to us, but I think he had another table of 12 women and at least five other tables
I think his name was Trenton, he was the best, and kept our drinks and extra sauces coming !! The food was great. Atmosphere was great, we really had a great time!!”

“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!!

“I ordered the Trio. I had the original chicken salad on a croissant, broccoli salad, and chicken poblano soup. There was plenty of chicken salad, and it was good. The broccoli salad had a lot of bacon, but the dressing was a little thin for my liking. The chicken poblano soup was average. We were there it's a very busy time. Our order was to go, thankfully.”

“Excellent pizza, very good service love to go back”
