The architecture is cool, the restaurant is huge with 2 levels plus a pool area (which has a stage…read morefor music sometimes) and from our experience this is the best sit-down restaurant on Dauphin Island (admittedly a low bar). Seafood definitely seems fresh and local, my wife loved her grilled shrimp po-boy and I got a seafood platter with fried shrimp, fish, and oysters that were perfectly seasoned and tasty. We were very happy with everything, and liked that the shrimp were peeled & deveined which we prefer but was unusual to find when we lived in New Orleans. Service was good, drink options sufficient, and the top level has a pretty good view even if you're not seated on the window. We typically cook on Dauphin Island for various reasons including usually travelling with a dog, but Pirates is a gem definitely worth visiting on any visit to Dauphin Island. Bravo!

Likely our last visit for a while as we move our boat up to Fairhope next week. We arrived on a…read morefriday at 5:45, the wait was 35 minutes. Imho, they were seating faster than each waitress could keep up and it affected our service for sure. They were slammed, so I left the 4th star. We ordered eveything at once as we were there a while before our waitress Tanya made it over. Beer / wine, gumbo, fried fish dinner with baked potato and fried okra, she had the ahi tuna with sauteed spinach. We finished with cheesecake and a berry sauce. Everything was tasty, I had a fish filet and enough okra for another meal. The view, makes this place, the building architecture, if you like that, I do, and the food is consistently tasty. When we visit the island going forward, this will be our first pick.

We tried the chocolate croissant, cinnamon roll, and pecan cinnamon roll -- all three were incredible. Flaky, fresh, and perfectly sweet without being over the top. We arrived right at opening (6:30 a.m.) and walked right in, but by 9:30 there were about 30 people in line -- so definitely come early if you can. The staff was friendly, polite, and super efficient, even with the growing crowd. There's also a little "day-old" discounted section near the door, which is a great find if you want to grab a few extra treats to take home. Overall, a must-stop on Dauphin Island -- cozy, delicious, and full of charm.

All in all, I'd give the food a 9/10! And, sorry there's no picture, but I was hangry!

I mean, it's a decent gas station (they offer Ethanol-free gas which is a nice option for boaters…read moreand those who want better gas for their cars) and the convenience store hot food is above average. For a gas station. It's probably a statement on the Dauphin Island food options that so many people rave about the pizza and breakfast sandwiches - which are fine, sometimes pretty good. Service is usually vaguely friendly and convenience store retail & food/drink options are fairly standard. The Chevron has a prime location on Dauphin Island which is more convenient than the other gas station, but when the closest McDonald's is 20-30 minutes away I guess that makes this the best breakfast sandwich around. C'est la vie.
