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.“

“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.“

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!! 💝“

“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.“

“Delicious and authentic pho! So happy to have a Vietnamese restaurant in Gulf Shores. Their beef lo mein is also soooo yummy. Mr. Bunn is so nice and friendly! He will go out of his way to make sure you are happy with the food and service.“

“Great service and even better food! In-house hot sauce is the best, if you haven’t been I highly recommend!“

“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.“

“This was by far the best food me and my husband have ever had. Would highly recommend!! Price was good, staff was friendly and whoever they had cooking that day was amazing!!! We got the blackened yellow fin tuna and bacon wrapped shrimp!!“

“Madelia was attentive and efficient, but accused me of not ordering the shrimp I had asked for (instead of saying, “Oh, I didn’t hear you” or “I’m sorry, I must’ve misunderstood”). Then, after she had left the check, we used the QR pay-by-phone option posted at our table. When we got up and left she chased us out of the store saying we hadn’t paid. I told her we had and walked back into the store so she could confirm.

The food was good. The atmosphere was good. And, except for making us feel like liars and criminals, I’m confident our server is competent and capable. I just wish our interaction hadn’t left a bad taste in our mouths….“

“Good food, great service..we love Kiva Grill!!“
