36 Best Seafood 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. 💛“

“Delicious steamed shrimp! We got the low country boil… fresh corn, potatoes, sausage, and shrimp! We order here every time we come to GS.“

“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.“

Husband’s fried fish plate was also great! Sweet potato fries appetizer was also a fantastic addition!! Highly recommend for a great meal that is reasonably priced!“

“All 4 orders were as menu. I only stated 4 on food because both grilled shrimp/scallops were cool on 2 orders. Seated on exterior p8cn8c benches, so did not see/experience inside. Drinks we ok. Green beans salty from meat, but paired well with red potatoes.
Enjoyed the meal!!“

“My wife and I both enjoyed dining at Savanna tonight and will be back for sure. Food was delicious and the ambience is very nice. Wish they had more vegetarian entrees but their side dishes were amazing and worked for us.“

“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“

“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.“

“I stop in every year on my way back home to get shrimp and crawfish. The staff is always so friendly and helpful and seafood is fantastic!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“When in Gulf Shores we always make a couple trips to Lulu’s. I have a gluten allergy and they are always very good to me and the food is always good. I never have to worry about getting sick. I love the staff they are always very nice and accommodating and never make me feel different just supported. We have never had a bad experience and I look forward to it every trip. Thank you Lulu’s for always being so good to me.“

“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“

“Was very good. We went twice in our week stay in the area.

The portion sizes are on the smaller size, but where very good. $17(ish) per meal

Got a deal on day old smoked sausage and it was better than the fish...“

“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!“

“Great food and a great staff they gave my father who is a veteran a discount on our bill today. Thank you so much. Ps my dad is 81 years old and hard for him to get around.“

“Gulf island grill is the spot in Gulf Shores now that gives the best service. The servers are top notch and the food is incredible. The manager is top notch I will be back in April“

“Mudbugs is the kind of bar that doesn’t just serve drinks — it serves mercy.

I stumbled in on karaoke night and proceeded to unleash a setlist that went from Arthur Brown’s “Fire” (complete with unnecessary shouting) to Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” (which hurt everyone’s ears), then slurred my way through Sabbath’s “N.I.B.” before finishing with Sinatra’s “Mack the Knife” — more like butchering the knife.

In the middle of my performance-art meltdown, I toppled out of my chair and baptized the floor in a foamy tide of canned Guinness. Did they kick me out? Nope. The staff just smiled and kept the good vibes flowing.

Mudbugs didn’t just tolerate me — they made me feel welcome, like my drunken karaoke disaster was the headliner they’d been waiting for. If you want a place where you can sing terribly, spill drinks, and still be treated like family, Mudbugs is it.

Long live karaoke night. Long live canned Guinness. 🍻🎤🔥“

“This place did not disappoint, I will be back for sure!“

“Love this little spot overlooking the beach! The food is basically like a concession stand but if you have kids it will satisfy them while the adults grab a couple cold beverages. Great atmosphere for all! The kids can play connect 4 and tic tac toe while the adults chill.“

“Best broiled oysters! Lobster bisque and Gouda bites were also great!“
