Best Casual Restaurants in Gulf Shores

We dined here for Valentine’s Day 2025 and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is tucked back behind the road which is why I’d never seen it. It was really busy since it was Valentine’s Day- but we still didn’t wait too long. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes. We had reservations obviously. My husband was upset because people who just came in were seated before we were but I think they were probably waiting outside. The waitress seated us outside when we had asked to be inside. There was a heater and a tent and it was a relatively nice evening so we didn’t complain. Maybe we should have. Hubby was seated by the outer wall of the tent and he said he was cold. They had a fixed prix menu which looked good but when we discovered we didn’t have to order off of it, neither of us did. I appreciated that. I prefer to have personal choice. They don’t have bread for the table and we were super hungry. So I thought I’d order a soup. They don’t offer that either. We might have ordered an appetizer but the waiter didn’t suggest one and rushed off. So we just sat there being hungry until our food came. Food was quick coming to the table but I found out why. I had a crab legs boil (they were plentiful and good) but the corn and potatoes were ice cold. I didn’t complain because the crab was good and I was hungry. No bread remember. Hubby had shrimp scampi and he liked it. We chose the brownie dessert & it was plentiful & good. The prices were reasonable and was only about $100. The only fly in my ointment was that they marked us a no show on OpenTable. Maybe because it was crowded and they sent us a text for seating which I didn’t read and went to the desk and was seated right away. Later I saw that I was marked a no show and went to read the text and it said hit the 1 button If you’re here. Which I didn’t do. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t there. Hopefully that will get straightened out. That’s probably why I included all the negatives. 5 stars.
