“Was iffy about coming with my 4 year old grand daughter but it was very good. She ate more here than anywhere else we went she had the kids cheese burger and fries. My husband had the spicy wedge with blackened chicken he loved it. I had the beach bowl and it was amazing. The service was outstanding and they were very friendly and very helpful.“
“Absolutely loved the atmosphere! Bryce is who served our table & was the sweetest young lady & very helpful. I came for my daughter’s 5th birthday and loved the singing robot with cheesecake ?My mother & I both had a seafood boil bag & my daughter had a fried shrimp basket and everything was delicious & fresh ! I absolutely loved this restaurant so when we come back to visit the Gulf Shores from North Carolina again we will most definitely be eating here again ?“
“We had a party of 50 for my grandsons baseball team and also his birthday. Will was so nice to work with us to insure the seating and great service. Julia was one of our servers and she did an excellent job on taking all orders in a timely matter. Our food was great. They also sang happy birthday with a sombrero on his head. Fun time and we will be back. Thanks again Will!!!“
“We had a top notch lunch at Fish River Grill today with Nikki as our server. I was a bit disappointed they were out of gumbo, but quickly turned my frown upside down as I saw fried gator bites as an app. They were perfectly seasoned and fried! I got the half shrimp, half fried whitefish basket which came with hush puppies, okra, fries and Cole slaw. All of which were extremely full of flavor and fried to perfection. I loved how they have bottles of condiments instead of tiny cups (which are not cost effective and get trashed) We were so happy with our lunch! And the complimentary swamp stew was delicious!!!! As we were finishing, Sweet Nikki brought out complimentary lemon cake for each of us. As if we weren’t stuffed from lunch, but we could t resist. It was delicious. Huge shout out to the staff for easily working with us having my husbands service dog. They made sure all were comfortable. Definitely check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!“
“Had a late afternoon lunch. My husband ordered fresh oysters. Took a longer time to get them than expected. By the time they were served, main course came within minutes of getting the appetizer.Server was very knowledgeable when answering food questions and very pleasant. Unfortunately, I, personally think a server should ask customers within a few bites of trying the food, how the food is. She asked my husband at the end of the meal. Wrong timing.“
“We stopped in on a whim. Restaurant was just a little down from our condo for the week. We wish we would have stopped sooner! Food was phenomenal. We started with appetizers and they came out fast. Kids menu was good and the chicken strips were more than enough. We also ordered some fried fish, the hangover burger, and blackened chicken Mac and cheese. Our waitress Kathy was extremely friendly, very attentive, and one of the most friendly people we have met in the area. All of the staff could be seen smiling, joking around with their customers, and definitely made you feel welcomed and appreciated. If we ever decide to vacation down here again we will definitely be back.“
“Lindsey’s service was incredible, she was so sweet and caring. I was by myself and she made me feel so welcome, even had a quick chat, shared recommendations of beaches etc to go while I’m on my stay, she’s the best! Manager also came to my table to greet me. Customer service seems to be a thing of the past but not at this amazing place!!Food was also incredible!! Thank you!!“
“We purchased fresh fish and oysters to take home. Also ordered the shrimp basket for two and they cooked it for free. Came with shrimp, sausage, small potatoes and corn on the cobAll for $20.....More than enough food for two people. Free recipes to fix your sea food. Friendly helpful staff.“
“Off the beaten path, perhaps where the locals only, go...we discovered a small gem of a diner with smallish portions but tasty food. The waitress was a bit gruff but she warmed up as did the frigid diner after a few minutes... What makes me say, we'll be back?! I said the food was tasty but it's the visit from the Chef, checking on all his customers, and then talking up my father-in-law's alma mater! Did I say locals only, well, please include all the (in the know) snowbirds! BTW: they sell their mugs - and yes, we bought one! And bring your sweatshirt/jacket - it does get really cold every 10 minutes so you'll thank me :-)“
“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.“
“Gulf Shores Seafood, a takeout gem, is a seafood lover's dream. Their snow crab, priced seasonally, comes in convenient two-cluster portions, approximately a pound in weight. The crab's taste lives up to high expectations, delivering a delightful seafood experience that's perfect for takeout enthusiasts. Don't miss out on this culinary delight!“
“*EditThey reached out to me and apologized several times AND REMADE our meal!!!Everyone has a bad night here and there but They really want to make customers happy! We will be back!Ordered over $50 of food that was dry like it had sat out for hours . Last time I ordered from here it was great, but this time it’s terrible. Coconut shrimp had no flavor. Probably won’t be back“
“Stumbled upon this place for lunch while on vacation. This restaurant wasn’t reviewed quite as high as some other places we were planning to visit but compared to other place we made it to, must say this was our best meal and atmosphere. Sat right along water, open air, all of us really enjoyed our meals, and the Key Lime and Peanut Butter Pies were outstanding treat. Would recommend giving this place a try.“
“Food quality is outstanding. The grilled oysters are delicious and memorable they're so good. The prickly pear mojito is just as memorable as the food. We were there on Spring Break in 2024 and in 2021 and both times the food was worth the long wait times.Kid-friendliness: There is a kid's menu.“
“Desoree... You rocked it girl! what a fun place! We were there at the bes time! No wait! Food was delish! Service was excellent!the view ... the boats... were fun to watch! Managers were VERY ACCOMMODATING! We have already bookedour next stay in Gulf Shores! Lulu's will definitely be oneof our annual trips!“
“I have been to this Tiki Bar several times and highly recommend it. The food is very good and the atmosphere is welcoming and laid back. The staff is friendly and very attentive to any needs. This place is a hidden gem behind The Pines and you won't regret visiting!!“
“Great dinner, I had the Chimichanga. I love there Chimichanga.I asked for a refill on the salsa and never got it. Also wanted a refill on my drink and never was asked. That is the reason for a 3 stars. I have been coming to El Toro for many years and never had this happen. Server Bere C.“
“I can't believe this place doesn't get higher ratings! I have been coming to the beach for years and this is some of THE BEST well made basic seafood I've ever had.If you want a view of the beach, tourist trap souvenirs, crazy sauces to hide the fish, and ridiculous prices, then this is NOT the place to go.... But, if you want AMAZING well prepared SEAFOOD, awesome bread pudding, great service, and a lot of food for your money, then DON'T MISS King Neptune's Seafood. The seafood platter for two was an absolute flavorful feast, and would have fed three or possibly even four people (especially if you add dessert). I will, without a doubt, be back on our next trip to Orange Beach.“
“Delicious and great atmosphere and views. Great service by Oksana and the seafood tower did not disappoint! The scallops and pork belly is a must have. Incredibly delicious! The chocolate cake was a fantastic finish to the meal, too.Kid-friendliness: Our kiddos really enjoyed their meals, too. Kids steak and fries was tasty, they were able to modify the fettuccine into just buttered noodles, and my son shared the snapper with my husband and they both loved it.“
“All the fried seafood you could want...fast friendly service! Thank you...scallops on the smaller side...i didnt expect the huge ones....had the 1lb shrimp special fried...lots of nice size ahri.p with not a huge amount of breading...gumbo was there...nothing special...nice place“
“Came here as we were staying Fort Morgan for the week. The ambiance and location is very nice, right on the beach! The service was a bit slow but okay for us. I got the bacon wrapped shrimp and bread for the table. I then ordered the shrimp and grits which were pretty good. My husband got the tri-tip steak which he said was good.“
“Surprisingly good prime rib and an excellent value for several early bird specials, most notably the single crab cake on rice for those who want to sample extra menu options. Crispy, thin onion rings were exceptional! 1/2 lb shrimp was offered hot or cold — but was overcooked. Crab boil was as good as any around….Waiter Abigail was attentive and well-informed on the menu choices. Only major drawbacks were the dirty decks outside and the completely neglected outside grounds which were unacceptably overgrown with weeds.Parking: Ample parking and handicapped parking though lower parking lot/landscaping is completely overrun with weeds.“
“So many things from which to choose but I (almost) always end up with the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Nachos. There is just something about the marriage of the pineapple coconut rum slaw, the barbeque sauce, and cheese, that just makes me happy! Next time, I am going to try something else. Maybe.“
“An overall good beach dining experience. The menu isn't terribly extensive and has a lot of "heavier" foods than I'd have hoped to find at a beach place. But what we had was all tasty and well-prepared.Very friendly staff. Unbeatable view and location. Would definitely return.“
“I 100% recommend Sea N Suds!!! The service was great, our server Joshua was Fantastic, the atmosphere was steller, especially since it was right on the beach, and the food was delicious! The gumbo, shrimp, and crab and cheese bites were my favorite!!! One of my new favorite places in gulf shores!“
“Great stop for an “experience” restaurant. They have good fried oysters, and the fried green tomato fries are delicious. They boast an extensive bar menu as well with some really great options; their margaritas and bushwacker are fantastic. The blackened Mahi-mahi tacos had way more lettuce than was desirable, but the sauce was the perfect addition.“
“Had a great experience at every meal and drink! The service was spectacular. The waiting staff were all smiles, the food was well executed, plated and flavorful. Proper proportions. Not significant to me as I love their playlist (I would subscribe to it... it's such an eclectic mix), but it's a little louder than most places for background music. So if you are looking for low volume“
“Wonderful facilityFood is as great as any other great place on the coast.Service is excellentOutside view is like your in paradise Palm trees ? and the beach.Best atmosphereSuper Clean.Myself… I hate paying $$$ for a greasy sticky place with an awful restroom.This truly is the best restaurant on the gulf, and they do a great job of NOT over booking.If you’re fortunate enough to get a reservation take your bride or a couple of friends and enjoy an amazing visit for a couple hours while being truly Wined n Dined.If dining outside take pics before the turtle light come on.David ??Parking: Plenty of easy parking“
“Happy Hour 2-6pm! If you're looking for a good deal at a bar with TV's and beach vibes... This is a solid spot! We got the buffalo shrimp, shrimp taco, and the shrimp basket, which were all on the happy hour menu... With a couple $3 wells to boot. They also have an adult dessert drink called a bushwacker for $4. Pretty solid! We had our 1 and 3 year old with us and it was totally fine. Check it out!“
“Madison was our server and she went above and beyond to make our first time experience the best experience we could have out here in Gulf shores. She’s probably one the the best servers I have encountered, being in the food industry myself, and that’s not easy to come by.“
