We went for lunch and had to run the dogs home first after bad intel from another Yelp review. The space is so unique and fun. Many spaces offer nice views of the water and the beach is right there. There are plenty of opportunities for live music and other fun activities such as bingo. I tried their Bloody Mary and it was fine. Nothing special. My fiance had the Reese's bushwhacker and it was awesome!!! The oysters were maybe the saddest I've ever had in my life. So small and flavorless. My advice would be to skip those! The birria bites were delicious and so were the pretzel bites. Overall, a nice experience!

Young lady at the bar could barely tear herself away from A couple of guys she was talking to give us a menu or the process to order and get our food. Very rude! Wasn't very helpful when we ordered either! Worst was the conversation we could not avoid over hearing between her and the two fellows sitting at the bar! OmG ! One fellow had zero vocabulary as every other word was the F )$& word, then was bragging and bragging about the size of a member of his anatomy and his conquests with the same part! Was so disgusting! The table next to us moved outside but it was way too cold so we hurried up and left! Other patrons coming in with children. Really? Place also dirty! Looked in the bathroom decided I could wait it was beyond disgusting! Such a shame as it council be a very pleasant place to chill either a beverage and watch the water etc!

Service isn't particularly fast and we got the feeling they really didn't care if we came or went. I guess harried and indifferent would describe it. They have an appetizer of blackened shrimp that probably comes with 8 or 9 shrimp. It is excellent and delicious. Best thing we had on the entire trip. They have a pretty little appetizer plate with a cream cheese covered with a peach and pepper sauce that's a little spicy. It is beautifully presented with grapes and flowers. Very yummy.

It's the food folks go there for. The oysters were fresh and served in a simple appealing way. The fish was white and firm and delicious. The grilled shrimp they are famous for do not have a savory flavor, tastes more like they were grilled with honey on them. We were not expecting that at all. We did not like the 30 dollars worth of sweet shrimp. It does come in very generous portion if you like that type of flavor. Hush puppies were pretty darn good, light, nicely seasoned with good flavor. The Cole slaw was excellent. All portions were generous. Overall they are friendly, the service is personable and efficient! Ambiance is that of a local diner style, not fancy just comfortable. We liked everything but the sweet grilled shrimp. We are from the north and maybe it is just a southern style we aren't familiar with or used to consuming. The gumbo is pretty good too. They have great mixed drinks and they have one that is a salted caramel flavor that is really excellent. Overall: would highly recommend for a good meal and friendly service. Probably the best place we ate in the Orange Beach area.

My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.
