The wait time went by quickly with browsing the gift shop, grabbing a drink at the bar and people watching. We had Lisa as a server who was fantastic. We were celebrating my mom's 80th birthday and she even brought her a birthday brownie! There was a really good band playing. We had fried green tomatoes that were delicious. I ordered shrimp tacos that were filling and great. I had a couple jet ski killers that were so tasty. We all got henna tattoos and that was a waste of money but still fun You just need to go here- you won't be disappointed!

The Cove is one of those Gulf Shores spots that just feels right.

It is casual, comfortable, and fun without trying too hard. Whether you are stopping in for a drink, grabbing a bite, watching a game, or meeting up with friends, The Cove is a great choice. The staff makes you feel welcome, and the whole place has that easygoing beach-town energy that makes Gulf Shores special. Great local spot, great atmosphere, and definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a laid-back place to eat, drink, and enjoy some great music. Make sure you go for Karaoke win Cindy and Jimmy!

She did a fantastic job at making sure we were accommodated during our meal. If we're in the area again, we'll be sure to be back!

We were seated on the corner of the patio, which provided a beautiful view and a relaxing atmosphere. Several other guests warned us about aggressive seagulls, but thankfully they weren't an issue during our visit. To start, we ordered the buffalo dip. It was tasty and well-prepared, though it was fairly simple and something that could easily be recreated at home. For my entrée, I ordered the sourdough burger without onions and added bacon. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. My husband went with the Double Pony Burger, which was absolutely massive. He thoroughly enjoyed it and had no complaints. I also tried the Seven-Headed Dragon cocktail, which is similar to a Long Island Iced Tea. It was delicious, packed a serious punch, and is definitely not a drink to underestimate! Our server was friendly and pleasant, although there were a few times when he seemed to disappear for a while, and our food took a bit longer to arrive than we expected. Even so, the atmosphere helped make up for the wait. As we were finishing up, they were getting ready to start karaoke, which looked like it would be a lot of fun and added to the lively beach-town vibe. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, the waterfront setting, and the laid-back atmosphere. While service could have been a little more attentive, I would absolutely come back for a cocktail, an appetizer, and to enjoy the view again.

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!

Don't skip on the Mignonette sauce either. My new favorite way to eat oysters. Wife had the fried shrimp ($12.00 happy hour) and it was good as well. I was happy with the $1 oysters then I saw the happy hour prices for drinks and that was icing on the cake. We sat at the bar and didn't venture to the other side of the restaurant. Seemed to have a good mix of locals when we were there. To be honest, for oysters and fried shrimp it's going to be hard to beat. We loved it and definitely will be back.

We started with a cocktail and the spicy blue crab dip, both of which were excellent and a great way to begin the meal. We also ordered the meat and cheese board, which was decent but felt fairly basic for the price. The cheese and jalapeño focaccia was flavorful and enjoyable as well. For the main course, I ordered the New York strip with crab cakes. The steak was cooked properly but lacked seasoning and flavor, requiring quite a bit of salt. The crab cakes were also underwhelming and not something I would order again. My stepson ordered the kids' Alfredo, which tasted more like plain macaroni and ended up being so bland that he barely ate it. My husband had the bacon BBQ shrimp and enjoyed it, although I found it a little too sweet for my taste. Considering the overall quality of the food, the meal did not feel worth the price we paid. That said, our server was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has a fun atmosphere. They also offer live music on certain nights, which adds to the experience. Overall, while there were a few highlights, the food didn't quite live up to our expectations.

Absolutely disgusting food! A disgrace to food trucks everywhere…read more How can you screw up pulled pork BBQ? Just ask these people for their recipe. Our pulled pork plate was swimming in grease. The 3/4 pound of pulled pork ($14 by itself!) came with a single 2oz plastic ramekin of room temperature sauce. Not nearly enough, and they knew it, because an extra 2oz of store bought BBQ sauce costs an additional $2! The cole slaw was serviceable, but not worth $3. My $4 baked beans were actually room temperature cheap assed Show Boat pork and beans straight from the #10 can! A soda or bottle of water will set you back $3. Cocktails from the bar food truck COST $14 EACH! At those prices there should be a dancer on a pole.... The nachos were just cheap warehouse club boxed chips and sleaze cheese out of a #10 can with some greasy ground beef on top. Avoid this disgusting ripoff joint like the plague. Your bowels will thank you later.
