    If your looking for a home town no frills cafe GooRoo's is for you. Don't expect white table cloths and fine china. Do expect local diner, great burgers and sandwiches and seafood and fair prices. First meal we have eaten out for less than $60. Their burgers as everyone else states are the best thing on the menu. Large patty's with any topping you can think of and they even toast their buns. Best side are the onion rings. They are not homemade but still hot and crispy. Shrimp taco's were also very flavorful. They were more like shrimp burrito's for how large they were. Is all the food handmade; No. Is the service great; Yes. Is the ambience great; Yes. Everyone was friendly and very informative about the food and drink refills.

    This locally owned and operated gem boasts a friendly ambiance with a diner-like feel. While some may label it as a "greasy spoon," I'd argue that this casual, down-home eatery is a testament to the comforts of homemade cooking and the charm of a traditional diner. I've heard great things about this spot and was eager to give it a try for the first time. The interior reflects an unpretentious spirit, with its simple wooden tables, chairs, and booths. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or family. At GooRoo's, the menu offers a tempting array of options, ranging from hand-pressed burgers to locally sourced seafood dishes, with each meal cooked fresh to order. Appetizers include wings, Buffalo shrimp, cheese sticks, fried pickles, onion rings, fried mushrooms, smoked tuna dip, hushpuppies and cheese, or fried veggies. Seafood choices include plates or sandwiches with smoked tuna, shrimp, mahi-mahi, fish, and catfish. Other options include a variety of burgers, Philly sandwiches (made with ribeye sliced in-house), hamburger steak, chicken breast or tenders, BLT, and chicken-fried steak. For lighter options, diners can opt for the crisp, daily-cut veggies in the salads or the homemade chili that's as comforting as it gets. I visited with my neighbor after some appointments, and she shared some terrific fresh onion rings and ordered a blackened shrimp salad, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I also ordered an appetizer, sharing the fried mushrooms, which were delicious. Having heard about one sandwich specifically, I ordered the 1/2 lb monster GooRoo burger with everything on it, and it didn't disappoint. The service is attentive and friendly, and a full bar with wine choices is available for those who wish to enjoy a drink with their meal. Parking is ample, and outdoor seating is available for those who prefer to dine al fresco. The restaurant is also kid-friendly, making it a great option for families. Bottom line: GooRoo's offers fresh homemade fare, a welcoming ambiance, and friendly service at moderate prices with a smile. Highly recommended!

    Another great meal at Big Daddys. It was late on a Sunday but they were down to two servers…read more Service was still great. Food was exactly as prepared on my previous visits. They are very consistent with that tripletail basket. It was enough food for my wife and I to share. Great tea. Great views of Fish River. Always worth the trip.

    Big Daddy's Grill is in a really cool location on the water at The Fish River with a great view…read more The food was a mixed bag for me as I found their gumbo to more akin to a shrimp creole as for some reason Alabama calls a LOT of things gumbo that we would NEVER call gumbo in Louisiana so typically I just call these concoctions Alabama soup. So far the only actual gumbo I've had in Alabama is at Tamara's Downtown in Fairhope, AL. I ordered the fried grouper finger and shrimp basket which was decent tasting but a smaller portion size. On another visit I sampled their cheeseburger and it had decent sized meat patty on it with some good flavors. I also had the key lime pie for dessert which was alright and pretty par for the course and very similar to most of the other key lime pies I've had in the area. The service was alright but they did a take a bit longer to refill my iced tea than I would have preferred. Overall this is a cool spot to visit and they have a nice variety of options although I can't recommend the "gumbo" Alabama soup.
