I ordered the buttered pecan mahi with a side of cheese grits . If your in for something new, give it a shot! The glazed pecan top ties in the taste of the dish.

Kimber Sittig

The cheese grits are amazing! The crab legs are great. Everything I tried was great. Make sure to get here early though if you don't want to starve while you wait for a table, but it's worth the wait.

Patrick Patterson

Ordered the raw oysters for appetizer . Excellent and for the entree I ordered shrimp Au graten with red beans and rice and baked potato . Excellent service and excellent prices. Would refer def. a+++

Chris Vincent

I ordered the Stuffed Shrimp Combo with Cheese Grits and Red Beans & Rice . Everything was fantastic! The peanut butter pie was excellent as well ! We will definitely come back again!

Laura T

Try the Pleasure Island Stack, it’s incredible! Cheese grits also. Service was excellent but wait to be seated was over 40 minutes. Too many people bring screaming kids but not restaurant’s fault.

Create Your Own Platter of Three: fried flounder , fried oysters , fried crawfish w/ cheesy grits , and red beans and rice ... EXCELLENT!

Cody Robinson

Ask for Zakkary as your server. Awesome service and witty sense of humor! Definitely made our first time here a success! OH...and get the Fried Green Tomatoes Bayoux Style. SO GOOD!

Bianca Masilowsky

Everything was good here. The service was nice. I like the cheese grits and the Mahi . It is a family friendly environment .

Sharon Cawood

I love their salad bar . Oysters are good but sometimes a bit chewy. The wait to get seated is sometimes a bit long. Nice shops around to browse while waiting. Hushpuppies are great!

D.B. Ceannaideach

Crab claws were good and large . The shrimp were fresh , lightly breaded and very tasty . Avoid the gumbo . It will disappoint you.

Kilbert Paz

C+ overall rating. all sides were delicious especially the cheese grits . Grouper was suppose to be the catch of the day, but it tasted like last years catch!!!. EXCELLENT Service .

Bill Coleman

One of the best seafood restaurants on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The service is always outstanding and there is a nice view of Little Lagoon from the window tables ..

The freshness of the seafood makes it hard to decide what to order; so Adam made a platter with a little bit of everything. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

Angie Haynes

Love the view !! Food was great!! Serve was great..

Kelli McGaha-Martin

Order a whole peanut butter pie to go; you'll be too full to eat it there but you don't want to miss out!

Constance Duncan

You've just got to try the Oysters #itisinthename #damnworthit #saladbaravailable #everybodywins

Britney Shoemaker

Best oysters in the gulf! Get there early bc there was still a wait at 9:30 when we left!

Pauline Pellicer

Overrated and touristy . Clam chowder , piña coladas and red beans and rice were good. Their seafood doesn't taste fresh and you have to make your own cocktail sauce . Good view though.

Andrew Marquez

Ask for Stephen S. He's a great mix between Napoleon Dynamite & Joe Dirt.. Total trip & phenomenal server!

Blackened amberjack with tasso cream sauce is awesome! Fried cheese is better than the standard frozen kind you get at other restaurants .

Mike Oakley

Absolute must to eat here when you come south! Not a bad item on the menu.
