-The Best Sea Food restaurant in town-possibly in the Gulf-Amazing service-food was here before we even realized it-Must try the crab legs or the grouper pan seared-Absolutely amazing!!!
Great lunch specials , which include a drink. I get the blackened catfish and add an extra filet for a minimal additional charge. If you're watching carbs, avoid the brown bread b/c it is ADDICTING.
Hawaiian Ribeye was fantastic change of pace as this was my 39th seafood place in a row on vacation. All of my family really enjoyed their food! It came out blazing fast and our server was very nice!
I loved the broiled seafood platter . It had shrimp , scallops , and my new favorite flounder almandine. For sides , it was paired with sweet potato casserole and cole slaw for a real taste treat.
The fried seafood platter was the best seafood that I have found in Gulf Shores . It was fresh , lightly breaded , and served hot . We had attentive service and a fair price . 5 stars !
You can have the fresh catch , 5 diff fishes including my fave - mahi mahi , prepared 9 diff ways. I recommend Creole - spicy w/crawfish étouffée sauce. Excellent crab n shrimp bisque plus raw oysters .
Crab platter - out of this world! Huge portion ! Caribbean platter also delicious! Also Hawaiian rib-eye is to die for! Sauce is absolutely delicious! Great food, big portions , very friendly waitresses !
Lunch special is always a good choice - I love the broiler flounder , green beans and fried green tomatoes . All yummy!
Pulled in to the parking lot and was a little discouraged. Glad we stayed and ate by far the best food I've had in Pensacola. Have to try the crab , artichoke and spinach dip !!
The best sautéed crab claws ever!!! And the KeyLime Pie ain't too bad either - very delicious and a unique texture!
The fish and portion sizes were great. There is a strange odor when you walk in. We got the brownies to go and that odor was in the brownies . It’s a musty smell.
My favorite, favorite place!!!! If you go for lunch , get the salad .....it's to die for. Anything on the dinner menu is out of this world. Yummmm
Just ate here, didn't have the ridiculous wait time like many places, and the food was excellent. Service was also very friendly and attentive
Wonderful fresh bread with honey butter . My favorite meal is their Chicken Creole. Is enough for two meals for me. I pig out on bread first though.
Lunch specials ! Try the blackened catfish ! Fried okra and fried green tomatoes are excellent.
Gumbo was really good. Coconut shrimp was pretty good as well . Bit of a communication strain with our server but she was nice.
Well worth the wait. We arrived at 6 and it was 45 minute wait. It was longer after we finished...Shrimp Lovers platter was very good....
Best place we ate at all week. Fun people, great food, good drinks, just all around nice.
Great seafood platter options to try a variety.
Food was really good! Hush puppies , delicious!! A bit high priced! But good!
Love the broiled flounder , corn fritters and sweet potatoes . We have been coming for years.
The shrimp was fried perfectly. You must also try the corn fritters .
one of the best places to eat in Gulf Shores! Great staff , great food.
The Paneed catch is great with grouper .
The crab platter is delicious! Includes crab legs , crab claws and deviled crab .
Hawaiian rib-eye, delicious! Sweet potato casserole ...amazing!
Best seafood in gulf shores! Always enjoy the catch of the day. Great selection of fried and broiled fish along with great southern sides !
You MUST go on Thursday for beef tips and rice !! One of the best lunches in the island .
Very much worth the wait, do not go to Mikee's! All plates were great especially the fresh Red Snapper !
Try the catch of the day blackened. You can't go wrong.

Shrimp & Pasta Marsala....YUMMY
I was so excited to eat here after reading all the good reviews... But it was overpriced and poorly cooked. Save the time and money and go someplace else!
Shrimp is awesome...
Nasty fried food smelling place. We walked in & walked right out.
Love the shrimp appetizer! Cooked any way you like, blackened, grilled or fried... Yummy! I order a side of French bread & make my own sandwich - Erin L

Baked panga was amazing! My husband got the burger which was delish also :) - Andrea Jones
Rooms are very clean, people are extremely nice, pools and everything are amazing. Very good experience. - Sarah ♡ Worley
Hard to find (at least in the dark.) it sits way back off the main road. It's nice and clean. Unlike most Walmarts I have been too. (Off season review) - Michael Richardson
This place is a must if you’re on vacation! Wide selection of souvenirs and clothing! Loved it. - Roy Taylor
