Our experience at De Soto Seafood Kitchen was nothing short of spectacular. We indulged in the Caribbean Platter, featuring coconut shrimp, jerk chicken breast, and grilled grouper on a bed of Caribbean rice, topped with mango fruit salsa. My wife couldn't stop raving about her dish, rating it a perfect 10 out of 10. She paired it with a delightful sweet potato casserole and a refreshing bushwhacker frozen beverage.While my Creole Platter, showcasing Crawfish Étouffée and shrimp creole with blackened catfish on yellow rice, was near perfection, the Crawfish Étouffée fell slightly short due to its under-seasoned green roux. However, after a bit of improvisation with Tabasco sauce and lemon, along with mixing it with the rice and shrimp creole, the dish transformed into a flawless 10 out of 10.The attention to detail extended to the beverages, with the club soda being the best I've had on the Gulf. Served with crushed ice and fresh lime and lemon, it was a refreshing delight. The hushpuppies were divine, and the sweet potato casserole was a crowd-pleaser. But the real star of the show was the Key Lime Pie, a perfect ending to our vacation.The manager's hospitality was the cherry on top of an already delightful experience. Giving us a tour of the restaurant and presenting us with a souvenir utensil added a personal touch that made our visit truly memorable. We left De Soto Seafood Kitchen with hearts and stomachs full, eager to return for another unforgettable dining experience.
One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Gulf Shores. There is a reason De Soto's has won so many awards and has so many people waiting to get in during the busy season. The food is amazing, the staff is wonderful, and the owner is such a sweetheart. Whether dining alone, or with a large group, DeSoto"s accommodates. Shout out to Yvette, the best hostess in the area!Vegetarian options: They do offer vegetarian plates and options.
Great place for seafood and drink staff was great. High recommend this place.

This was the best surprise in Gulf Shores. The fried porkchops were the best I've ever had. The lima beans were excellent and they gave 2 small loaves of fresh made bread with real butter to start the meal. The service was excellent from beginning to end. I wish in was on my town. I would be a regular there.Great food! Great service! Great price!

Ordered the red snapper and it was very dry. The sides were an absolute disaster. The green fried tomatoes were harder than paper, and I could make 100% better sweet potato souffle; a souffle without the moist side. Very disappointed.
