25 Best American Restaurants in Gulf Shores

“Three of us went with high expectations Two were well satisfied with Grouper and Lobster meals, I had a rib eye steak that was so tough that I was unable to eat. The manager comped the meal quickly with an apology, Believe this was a rare occasion and appreciate the way it was handled.“

“The fish tacos did not have any taste, that was disappointing. However, the worst part was the one hour wait for our order to be served. There was a large crowd, but in my opinion, not that large to cause such a delay. Our server, CJ, did his best to overcome the long wait.“

“My finance and I came in for a meal and a few drinks. Being promptly greeted by Cassie with drink and food orders was a big plus. The touch tunes juke box is our fave and we were taking full advantage with some St. Paul.

Emma came in shortly after and also fulfilled drink orders for us. Both ladies were exceptional with customer interaction and personality!

But oh let me tell you, I’m not a picky eater. I’ve eaten a lot of good food In the south. But tonight I found something that TOPPED everything I’ve had in Gulf Shores.. and that’s the Boudin balls. The flavor of these will grab you by your shoulders and shake you. I’ve never been down to Louisiana but I’d like to think these gave me a prefect glimpse of what to expect.

It’s the perfect dive for a kid-less couple seeking a great environment for dinner. This place will be on the TOP of our list for our yearly visit to the Gulf.“
