Favorite Places To Eat At The Beach

  King Neptune's Steamed Seafood    
1137 Gulf Shores Parkway    Gulf Shores, AL 36542     (334) 968-5464
This is the place in Gulf Shores for your steamed seafood. Your seafood adventure! Traditionally prepared fried, steamed, grilled, broiled, sautéed, blackened, baked, boiled and raw. Eat in, pick-up or delivery.  If you go here, try the corn chowder. It's great. Go early for daily specials. Betty's favorite here is the Royal Red Shrimp. Bill prefers the fried shrimp dinner. Located on Alabama 59, about 5-6 blocks from the beach. Prices are about average for good food and nice size servings.  http://www.kingneptunes.com
  De Soto's Restaurant        
138 W 1st Avenue    Gulf Shores, AL 36542     (334) 948-7294
We recommend that you dine with the folks at DeSoto's at lunch for the best value and daily specials. Our favorites at lunch time include flounder (baked, fried or blackened), blackened catfish, hamburger steak, pork chops, country fried steak, fried green tomatoes, and chicken tenders broiled or fried. The rolls are homemade and baked daily. At night, you'll find the prices a little higher, but still reasonable.  All of the fresh seafood is outstanding! If you're here for a few days, put DeSoto's on your must list.  Located right in the middle of Gulf Shores, less than one mile from Surf Side Shores. You can eat for about $8-$10  each at lunch, evenings, expect to pay $12-$15 for most entrees.

The Gift Horse

This is a wonderful buffet located in a beautiful  old historic building that was constructed in 1912. It's in downtown Foley, about six miles from the beach.  The food is absolutely divine. We recommend the luncheon buffet. Don't miss the fried biscuits! The salads on the buffet are wonderful and save room for Bill's favorite the "apple cheese casserole." Buffet is about $12 at lunch and about $16 evenings.

  Mikee's Seafood            
205 2nd Avenue    Gulf Shores, AL 36542    (334) 948-6452
Fresh seafood, reasonable prices. Raw oysters, catfish, po-boys, beef, chicken, and pasta. Casual. Our current favorites are Sweet and Sour Shrimp. blackened catfish,  and Shrimp and Scallops Spinach Stir Fry. They have daily specials and they will broil, grill or blacken almost any seafood entree if you ask. The blackened catfish filet will cost you and extra buck, but its very tender and tasty. Try the parmesan tomato for an appetizer.  The salads come with delicious pecan chips in them.  The menu is the same night and day, but the prices are a little cheaper and the servings a little smaller during the day.  Check out the daily specials including fresh mullet several days a week.  During the busy season we recommend you go for lunch or evenings try to get there around 6:15 p.m. to avoid a long line. Located just to the East of Alabama 59 about two blocks from the beach. About $20 for two at lunch, maybe about $28-30 for the evening meal.

If you prefer steamed seafood, this is your place! Betty's favorite here is the full pound of Royal Red Shrimp, served with drawn butter, corn, new potatoes and cole slaw. One block off the main drag, right behind Souvenir City and Alvin's. In addition to steamed food, they also have sandwiches, great gumbos and chowder, steaks, and a few grilled seafood items.

Our favorite places to eat vary a little from season to season, and as chefs move around, so be sure to check these pages before you come to Gulf Shores. 
We left out a few all time favorites, including Wolf Bay Lodge, The Original Pointe,  just because they are a little ways off the beach and we like to enjoy the last bit of sun and surf. If someone recommends them and you have time, they are all great. Just ask for local directions on how to get there. All of our recommendations are within a few minutes driving time! Enjoy!!
