I know this has been on here a lot, but heading down to Gulf shores Monday morning and staying until Sunday, me the wife and our 2 girls. Need some good choices for eating out mainly dinner, I have been to Wolf Bay a couple times and will go back, but need a couple more ideas?

Cosmo’s, Flipper’s, Cobalt, Shipps Harbour, Fischer’s.

Cosmos and cobalt for outdoor seating live, music and good food.

Docs and king Neptune’s for lunch and gumbo.

hazels nook for breakfast.

My all time favorite is Doc's but you gotta be there @ 10am before the crowd. Best raw oysters and fried skrimps in OB.

For dinner the places SBS and XVII listed are all great food. We also like Big Fish and Villagio's.

Big Mike’s for steak.

Jesse's
In Magnolia Springs

Make the drive......

Yep, been there many times. No fancy view just good food. Best fried shrimp at the beach.

X2 for Big Mikes

Docs, Tacky Jacks,

I drove by big mikes Wednesday afternoon and at 5:30 the parking lot was full.

My daughter was there last week with my MIL and some other older ladies. They had brunch one day at a relatively new place called Ruby Slipper Cafe. They all raved about it. I'm sure I could find something to eat there but apparently females love it. You might want to impress the women one day for a late breakfast before you go and down the 24 Oz. Ribeye at Big Mike's that night.

Appreciate all the feedback, looking forward to relaxing, eating good, and hopefully not drinking too much this week. Anybody else gonna be down that way this next week?

We just missed you. We got back tonight at 9pm from OB. We have 2 small rowdy boys so we rarely make the attempt to go out to eat. Never ate at big mikes but every time ive passed by there the cars were parked all the way out to the road. Oyster house is good also.

Oyster House is.good.but mostly frozen premade. There's several better choices. Been wanting to try Coastal in the location where Nolans was.

Louisiana Lagniappe. Been great every time I've been. It's in San Roc Cay on left just before Perdido Pass bridge.

Where's the best place in the area for char-grilled oysters?

Acme Oyster House. Bluegill on the causeway in ,Spanish Ft

Tin Roof Restaurant and Oyster House

Florabama.

And the more kid friendly ol river grill across the road.

Ships Harbour Is no longer open. Owner has opened up a new place in the old Wintzells building.

Fin and Fork ?

Yea that’s the new resteraunt. Food is still amazing and they have live music certain nights of the week after a certain time.

Fishermans Corner is awesome. go to Perdido and when road turns left, go over the intercoastal then immediately make a left and go back under the bridge. It is on the right. You will turn before the gas station and publix.

Best food I have found from Gulf Shores to Pensacola.

I'll second Jesse's in Magnolia Springs. Also, if you are in Foley and can handle some spice, you must try Desmond's Jamaican Cafe, awesome food, friendly real Jamaicans, and good prices.

Also, someone told me Tin Top is no longer grilling oysters, but you may want to confirm.

If you’re making that drive, might as well go on to wash house.

I agree jesses is good, but I wouldn’t want to make that drive home

Big Fish is as good as any restaurant down there

Don’t be sketched out by location, it’s in a strip mall by the T of canal and OB Blvd, it’s between a subway and a Pizza Hut I think

But it is jam up 100% great restaurant.

White table cloth, and nice, but kid friendly at same time

The Original Oyster House
Bluegill
Fish River Grill III

Just got back from eating Docs seafood.... Damn that was some fine eating, now sitting on the balcony drinking some more Bud lights

We down here in Ft Morgan till Sunday. We actually went and ate at the original oyster house earlier for the first time ever and I gotta say it was dang good.

The Sassy Bass out toward Fort Morgan is one of our favorites. Shrimp and grits are solid

GT's on the bay

McDonald’s in foley is pretty good

Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and without a doubt the best quarter pounder in the state. The fries are right up there with the Union Springs location too.

Solid reccomendation.

Sitting at Big Mikes this very minute.

I've heard good things about Fin and Fork. Any Aldeerers have a review.

I liked it there too. Was there a few weeks ago. Went there twice.

My condo is straight across the road from it so I'm sure I will have a revue son. Big Mikes was awesome.

Ruby slipper is NOLA based, several in south Louisiana. Better not go there, only a 50:50 chance you walk out alive.

It is without a doubt one of the top five in OB. It got great reviews this past December by locals at the taste of the Islands. Which is an event I highly recommend y’all to come to this year. You pay one price and get a sampling of what the best restaurants down here have to offer. It’s all you can eat plus the best part it benefits the local toys for tots by the USMC.

I also highly recommend SALT but it is pricey. It reminds me a lot of Central in Montgomery. Big Mike’s has been packed every afternoon starting at 5:00. The Anchor bar and grill just off Canal road is our favorite. It is owned by some Orange Beach firemen so we try to help them out as much as possible. It has a limited menu but everything on it is outstanding. Don’t go there if you are wanting the fried seafood platter that any work release fry cook can do.

Fin and fork is hands down our most favorite joint down here. We come here to OB 7-8 times a year and was in disbelief that shipps had closed doors for good. We ate at villagio’s at the wharf tonight and it was not worth the $$$ by no means. Leroy is there any hidden gems tucked back off canal road? All of our local spots have gone to crap or shut down.

Lunch, supper, afternoon snack, whatever. I always try to go to Doc's as often as possible when I'm there.

I love Doc's fried crab sammich. I think they call it a Spider Burger.
