First stop in Gulf Shores...even before checking in to the condo and unloading the car. Drinks in the bar and FRESH RAW OYSTERS on the half shell. Mikee's never disappoints! Krystal took fabulous care of us and attended to our every need. We sat in a quiet corner of the bar area (what do you consider quiet in a busy bar...we could carry on a polite conversation during dinner without having to raise our voices) Drinks are reasonably priced and the alcohol is not skimped on in any way. Oysters were shucked in plain sight and with care. They were larger than those served elsewhere and were flavorful. Served with cocktail sauce, horseradish and lemon. What cracker would not want to be decked out with a Mikee's oyster? The decor has been updated a bit and the parking lot is much improved. Looking forward to our next meal at Mikee's. read more

My husband and I are huge all-you-can-eat crab leg fans, and if a place offers them, we're there, no question. Mikee's seafood absolutely delivered! Between the two of us, we each put away about 9 clusters, and every single one was worth it. The seasoning was spot on; flavorful without overpowering the natural sweetness of the crab. What really stood out was the quality and how easy it was to get full, satisfying pieces of meat out of each cluster (no frustrating digging here!). Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and consistent from start to finish. If you're serious about crab legs like we are, this place is definitely one to try. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back! read more

The food was good. Like Fish river grill.... The service was good, the server was HONEST and said "everything is popcorn shrimp" EXCEPT "these dishes", what a gem she was. The "ambiance" was nautical and unique- how Anthony Bourdain LOVED! I took a photo of a real New Orleans "place". The table had: Tabasco, Louisiana Hot sauce (one drop does it!) and Crystal hot sauce....(Boudreaux's in Daphne had ZERO of those.....TRUTH!) We ordered at the pink pony and walked out after an hour!! Another guy was fighting for his hamburger (see pink pony review)!!!! Well, in 24 hours that (1) pic got 1,500 views. This is a place I endorse (even if the White Russian daiquiri was almost pure milk- what we call concrete.)- she did "offer" an extra shot- I was thinking why?. If you want something great near Destin, bring it on. (Aside from a Reuben at McGuires...) I am sick of places like "Louisiana _ _ _ niappe" using our good name to label their cafeteria hospice food!!!! I might get rejected and cause a bunch of trouble -for "blessed are the peacemakers"..... But it is the TRUTH.... Not NOLA, but close as can be. Look at the review of the "diner". Tourist trap diner with chicken and 1/2 a waffle for $20. You'd be "out of business"..... read more

It was good and will try again. Service was nice and friendly. The pan seared shrimp wonderful and the red beans and rice delicious. Oh cheese sticks awesome. Comfortable atmosphere. Thank you. read more

Time for an update!! Our favorite for all you can eat crab or shrimp!! They come with the entire fixings but you can easily make substitutes. Shrimp does not have to be fried. Grilled, blackened or sated. Try it more than one way. Daily fresh fish specials that can be cooked to your liking. Peel and eat specials happen daily. Bushwhacker are creamy and full of alcohol. Keep the souvenir cup as well. Come early to beat the dinner crowd. read more

2 of my appetizers came out cold..i like supporting local...but not if there not gonna make an effort i cannot recommend this place

Mikee's is one of our favorite stops anytime we're near Gulf Shores. One of the best AYCE Crab in town.

The blackened redfish is the best dish on the menu. Hushpuppies are great too; I like trying different place's hushpuppies. Our waitress was great and even marked the virgin pina colada out from the alcoholic one. The restaurant was a bit loud but it was fine. bathrooms were very nice as well. read more

Food was great! Plates ordered were a crab claw dinner, blackened redfish, fried shrimp platter, kids Alfredo, and chicken tenders. Everyone, including all six kids, were happy with what they ordered. My husband and I both had drinks, a bushwacker and a blue margarita, and they were really good. Service was good! We loved our waiter! My only complaint was the wait. We're a big family and are used to waiting longer than others, however we were quoted "about an hour" and waited nearly 2.5 hours. Unless you're going for the all you can eat plates, you might want to skip it, or just go much earlier. read more

Had the sea food platter and it was very good and could not finish it. The gumbo that came with the platter I could have had for the main meal, it was fantastic. The bathroom and restaurant was clean and staff friendly and service was quick. Definitely would come back. read more

DO NOT GET A STEAK If you are from Louisiana or Texas this is not the place for you, two people in our party got a steak and there was no seasoning what so ever. Another person in my party got the fisherman's platter, overcooked oysters, overcooked shrimp, and really greasy fish. Now I will say the steamed shrimp and fried shrimp were good, not the best I've had but still good. The fried pickles were really good and I would recommend them. The service was also really good, our server kept our glasses full and checked on us multiple times. Overall I wouldn't recommend and would not return. read more

Found by Yelp- Arrived about 4pm on a Sunday in October. Came in got party of 4 seated. Notice about 4:20 folks started coming in more regularly. But 430 most tables was full of folks. Inside kinda dark and decor well kinda mixed, some beach, some Italian, some music, and some local decor. Now it behind the dollar general that near the purple octopus. Meaning no water view. I take good sea food over a sea view . Child meal, appetizer, side order of fries, all you can eat fried shrimp, all you can eat white fish ( has a $2 up charge for blacken) with waters with out tip was about $72. Staff was very nice, and food was fresh so it wasn't fast just like it should be. read more

Food was amazing, service was top notch, the place was packed and worth the wait. Especially for the all you can eat crab legs!

The food was great but the wait was horrendous. They initially stated 30 minutes but ended up being 1.5 hours. Also, once in, they pack you in like sardines. I'm not even sure how it passes fire code with that many people. If I go back again, it most likely will be takeout. read more

Best mahi I've had. Such a great little place with really good food options and drink options. Great service and great music too.

our Family went to eat at Mike's, waited an hour for a table, the food is mediocre at best. Don't expect to get ALL YOU CAN EAT when that's what you order. we waited 30 minutes for the next plate of All you can eat Shrimp and refills on our drinks.... never saw our waiter again until we spoke with the manager at the front. When the waiter did show up he still didn't offer to fix the problem.... just gave us our check. No apologies or anything. If you are going to wait an hour to be seated and not be taken care of.... there are much better restaurants in town! read more

Very crowded. Tables are almost on top of each other. My chair was pressed to the back of the chair behind me. Service was very, very good but the food didn't quite carry it. I guess a lot of people come for the crab legs but we were after fresh seafood and crab legs are only fresh in Alaska. We started with the raw oysters and let me say these were pretty amazing. Huge and salty and delicious. Wish we had stopped there. I got the stuffed shrimp and what I got was a pile of stuffing with shrimp laid on top under a very bland sauce thickly coated with paprika. Shrimp were nice size but rubbery. My husband ordered catfish and shrimp. These shrimp were very small. Greasy. Not what we expected at all based on the reviews. read more

Seated right away with a server there immediately getting drink orders and food orders after the drinks came. Cozy spot we sat in and quiet- great acoustics. Food was very good. Scallops-plenty of them done perfectly and flavor was very good. Sides of red taters and house salad were great. Cole slaw is its own thing- vinegar based. Fried shrimp very good. Blackened shrimp- good but a little too much blackened flavor. Raw Oysters were good too. Not super sweet but still very large and tender. Reasonable prices. Not too over the top. Overall we'd love to go back and recommend it. read more

I wish I could give them a negative tonight. We just left there because we could not get table service at 7 pm. We were seated in the dining area to the left up on the riser area at the last table. We received our menus and told someone would be with us but it never happened. We sat there for 15 minutes and I watched them assist the tables down the row and the waitress came to the one right behind us 4 times. I sat there and watched them seat two men after us at the opposite end of the row and a waitress assisted them immediately after I had been there 15 minutes. A gentleman cleaning the tables came to the long table behind us and I asked him if he could get someone to wait on our table and he proceeded to help us. He asked all three waitresses responsible for our section and they all said it was not their table - he said can someone just wait on the table and they acted like it was a problem so we just left. I have never had this problem before. I hope they understand that without customers they have no job. read more

Sorry, I can't recommend this place. The wait for a table was very long, almost an hour. The restaurant decor was dated and shabby, it was extremely overcrowded and noisy. Our server was Irene. She was a bright spot in an otherwise bad experience. Sweet, cheerful, and efficient. As far as the food goes, The only thing i found tasty were the corn fritters and the hush puppies. They were very good. I ordered the seafood veggie stir fry. It was pretty disgusting. It was drowning in sauce, the vegetables were cooked until they were limp, most of the shrimp were not deveined Plus it had SO MUCH pepper in it. Practically inedible. I picked what i could out of it but hardly ate any of it. I will say, my husband chose the shrimp and grits and really enjoyed them, but we were eating with a friend, and he got the stuffed shrimp which he said was not good at all, either. Two thumbs down. I will NEVER eat there again. read more

We were a party of 6, which shouldn't be too hard for someone to handle, but our waitress was new. She took our orders promptly. The drinks came quickly, as well as the salads. But it too a long time to get the rest of the food.. That probably wasn't on her, but the restaurant wasn't full. I ordered all you can eat shrimp. Everyone was fine eating before she checked if I wanted s reorder on the shrimp. They got my wife's order wrong and she sent it back, and one other in our party was charged incorrectly for his. There was also a charge for a souvenir glass no one received. The food was all good, but the service needs to step up. read more

Good luck with the all you can eat shrimp. It's so salty, you pour drinks down your throat. They need a new Chef

First time here. Had a great server! We both ordered lunch special which was $9.99 for popcorn shrimp/fish with 2 sides. We tried 4 sides, all of which were just ok. The popcorn shrimp was very good. The (white) fish was ok ... kinda mushy in the center. Even though the price was right, we weren't impressed in the least. read more

Definitely a local vibe, which makes sense since it's been around since 1957. Definitely go for their seafood! Mikees specialties were fantastic. Mahi Mahi catch of the day sautéed was excellent. Blackened red snapper with shrimp in a seafood sauce was delicious!! Hush puppies were really good as well. It was also one of the only restaurants open after 8pm on a Monday. Glad they were open! read more

Oh boy where do I start, crisp sunny day we'll call it December. The cabbage was pungent, and the crab's legs had no meat. However despite those casualties the coconut shrimp was on point, marmalade literally made by paddington the freaking bear. Green beans recommended by the waitress and well let's just say she knows what's good. Dark felt like I was playing hide n seek with the workers slightly overpriced but Mikee's gotta keep the lights on (barely it was dark fr) read more

Nice environment. From what I saw it only has inside seating though. Our waiter Jeremy was helpful and pleasant. We had several people in our party and except for one person feeling like the blackened shrimp was too salty, everyone was very happy with their choices. The group consensus was that the hush puppies were the best we've had! read more

I wasn't blown away by the catfish or tartar sauce which was disappointing. Not a ton of flavor and a little soggy. However the sides were phenomenal. Great beans with a ton of meat, almost to the point of a stew. Spot on. Great red beans and rice. Pretty cool mix of a smooth/chunky potato salad. Wish I could give it a 4 but my disappointment with the main dish keeps it at a 3. Definitely check out read more

Round 2! We visited Mikee's before and I have reviewed this location before. Family talked me into going back. This time we took a large party, 17 people! Of which were 12 kids all under the age of 14... The restaurant did a great job handling that chaos! The Good: the food was good. Some of the adult had all you can eat crabs. They like them. The reorders can out pretty fast. $60 for all you can eat crabs... you're at the beach... it's what happens 19.99 for all you can eat, either catfish, white fish, or shrimp. Is not bad. You can't which types but for $2 you can switch how it's cooked. Fried, blacken.. i.e The bad... small, and crowded. Not real suitable for large groups but all in all the did a good job with it. The sides were very small portions. But let's be honest, I'm was there for the all you can eat .. not the sides The ugly... nothing really was "ugly" about our experience. read more

Service was sub par and our food took a LONG time to come out. When it did, it was cold ( all you can eat crab legs $59.99). And I mean they were like out of the freezer cold - not just not warm. Second plate was the same way. They offered to try a third time and even the waitress admitted it was cold as well. I gave up. I ate my sides and paid for them only. The place is dark and very crowded - tables are jammed together. Parking lot is unpaved so be prepared for your car mat to get white, chalky dirt in it when you leave. Do yourself a favor - skip this stop if you're dining out in Gulf Shores. read more

Great oyster place along with an extensive menu of fish and turf items. We went for a dozen of the baked oyster dishes and they were outstanding; I highly recommend. Service was okay, maybe it was the rainy day. Cocktail menu looked okay but I was surprised that Yuengling, a domestic, was a dollar more than the cheap water AB products. Key Lime pie was also good. Go here for oysters. Locally owned. read more

The food is amazing. The service needs a lot of work! the manager/waitress Karyn was quick to blame being short staffed when she finally arrived to get drink orders. The food came and we needed sliverware we asked for it from another waiter as well as drink refills. after 15 minutes and finishing the meals without drinks she finally brought them and the silverware. When I went to pay I was going to leave cash tip and she questioned why I hit zero so I told her service was horrible! read more

Great fried shrimp, service good, a little noisy at times Great value, recommend for families read more

Popular spot with great seafood, including an all-you-can-eat [snow] crab dinner ("market price", but still worth it!). Service was good - friendly staff, but handling lots of customers. Casual atmosphere like one would expect, but there's not much extra room around the edges... read more

AYCE Fish & Shrimp for $9.99? Incredible for the quality of this seafood! We also had an amazing 1/2 dozen steamed oysters before our fish & shrimp. My dining partner had fried fish & shrimp which were lightly breaded & great. My expectations were blown away when I tried my blackened fish & shrimp-it was devine! Great service from Karyn (recommendations, refilling our reorders, beverages). This gem is off the main road. Lots of parking around the restaurant building. It's a local spot (that's how we found out) and not a fancy spot but fun and great place to eat! read more

Place was recommended by a friend.. we're no longer friends..lol.. sorry but this is just an honest review here.. waited 1.5 hrs to eat so hoping it was going to be good..wife got gumbo, (which she is from Louisiana knows good gumbo as do I) tasted like canned food, had zero shrimp in her bowl..no flavor and was not even warm.. she didn't even eat more than 3-4 bites. I got the Fried shrimp, the shrimp had a funky almost gamey taste to them and could tell fries and such were cooked in an older oil they were really dark and stale tasting.. no to go boxes needed we didn't even waste time with concerns just paid bill and left got fast food 30 minutes later on way back to condo. I love local owned and small business but it was just really that bad. I don't take reviews lightly and am always 100% honest.. and try to always give the benefit of doubt on service and such if during a peak time. Service was ok, but food was just terrible.. read more

Great food!! Seated quickly staff was great. The appetizers came promptly to the table.

One of our go to spots when we visit gulf shores! Seafood is always great here. We love the shrimp and fried oysters. Highly recommend trying the turnip greens. They're the best I've ever had. If you like good drinks, try the blue lagoon. Place is small and crowded. Don't know if I'd recommend for party's over 6. But if you can swing it, definitely give this place a try! read more
