What a great place to enjoy a happy hour mid day. The service was phenomenal, beer selection was great and the prices were unbelievable. $1 oyster happy hour and they were amazing (and not tiny oysters). Even the side of brussel sprouts were great. Definitely a place to stop by in the Gulf Shores area.

Horrible business owners that rely totally on Facebook. The only way to know when they are open is to go there or check Facebook as they are totally hit or miss on days/time. They post stupid stuff like. “Closed” and people never know when they are really open. My son in law went there and received old, stale oysters and was given lots of excuses. Not professionals at all.

Don’t count on their hours.Advertised Saturday hours 11am - 8pm. We arrived at 6:30pm to have a teenage couple come out of the door and announce that they were closed.Apparently, the teenage staff has the authority to unilaterally close early.We had driven :45 minutes to get there. Been wanting to try this place for a couple months. Not anymore.Multiple people complaining of the same issue on Saturdays on Yelp.

Don't depend on their hours. Drove :45 minutes on Saturday to get there, only to have a teenage couple walk out, chewing food, and tell us that they aren't open. It was 6:30pm and their posted hours on Saturday are 11:00am - 8pm. Been wanting to try this place and made the drive but won't do it again. Thanks for NOTHING!!

My review will be slightly different then expected. I attended a paint and sip event at this establishment and they were closed to the public during it. We painted, sampled wine, and there was a special menu available during the event. The service was great and event was fun. It was 30.00pp and that included the wine tasting and the painting. This place is for sure little and probably much loved by the locals, it's also off the beaten path but I felt it was well worth it. Is try it again during regular business and service hours.

Have been wanting to try this place for a while because of the good reviews. Decided to stop in today for a snack and maybe happy hour. Says open from 12-8. Got there and found an empty restaurant with a sign saying they go on break from 4:15-5:00. Very strange.

When they're open, love this place. Tasty food, good pours, happy hour specials.But man is it hard to figure out if/when they're open. Do not trust their posted hours.
