6 Best Burger Restaurants near Gulf Shores

“My wife and I went for dinner while on spring break, she had the brisket Mac and cheese, and I had the bleu burger. Both were amazing!! Also the salad we got with our meals were the best!!! Our waitress was amazing as well. This place is top notch!! Thanks for having us!!“

“If I could eat here year around……. OH-MY!!!!!!! The BEST spot along the Alabama coast!!!!!!!!!“

“VERY impressed! I work in food service, for nearly 18 years, and the manager or owner maybe came out from the kitchen and greeted us, as they were very busy. He was very pleasant and got us seated quickly, the server was kind and brought everything very quickly. The food was TERRIFIC, huge portions, hand battered, great quality, absolutely crazy delicious idea with the grouper Ruben! The vibe, the whole thing was just really great and I would and will definitely recommend and certainly be back!“

“very fast had a group of 7. had our food before we got our drinks filled everyone had a positive attitude and everyone was doing something 1st fast food of any kind that was actually fast. I don't write reviews but they all deserve a big shout out.“

“Christopher Larocca was the absolute best bartender we had at our week stay The Lodge. We’ve stayed multiple times, but always found our self, coming back to The Dragonfly at night for drinks, him, and the amazing atmosphere he brings with it. 10/10 bartender.“

“This place has had a bad reputation over the years, but it recently got new ownership, and let’s say they've really turned the bar around for the better! I had been there in previous years and swore never to set foot back in there. This past year, I’ve had some friends who started going and working there, so I gave it a shot. I was very impressed because it was like a whole different bar I was walking into.

So much security, who are always on top of things (I’ve heard that a lot of the security and bartenders have undergone extensive training to make sure everyone stays safe). At the front door, they check IDs with a scanner and a book of all IDs for each state. They are a 19-and-up bar, but anytime I’ve seen people not of legal age trying to sneak a sip, they are always on top of it and kick them out immediately.

A lot of people (locals) like to down on it and say you will get roofied, or see a lot of fights. Still, I honestly haven’t seen or heard of any of that happening under this new ownership (not saying it never does, but it’s definitely not as bad as it used to be under old management), and guess what? That can happen at any bar you go to. I know so many people who have been roofied at the FloraBama or other bars in the area. I saw way more fights going on at the Shaker every weekend at the wharf.

It is so much fun that they do karaoke too, have live music, and have so many different areas to visit and hang out. They have done a spectacular job at renovating the place too. I really enjoy the outback area, especially on holiday weekends and big occasions, because they have a DJ and a host and do so many fun games to win things.

Food and drinks are great, too, as is the service! Evan is my personal favorite!!

All I’m trying to say is it’s a whole different bar now, a whole different crowd, a whole different experience, a whole different atmosphere, and the locals who have heard and/or have said bad things about it over the years should really give this new business a try!“
