    I was excited to try this new restaurant. They began by asking the public's opinions on some of…read moretheir food offerings which I thought was a great idea and a great way to have the locals feel invested in your restaurant. The decor is nice and fits the local area well. Now for the negative unfortunately. We were not greeted upon entering. We sat ourselves at a table and after waiting for 15 minutes I went and got menus for the table. After waiting another 10 minutes we were able to flag someone down to get our drink order. We ordered a Bayou Dog meal and the lunch special (chopped steak). We waited another 30 minutes for our food. The "Bayou Dog" was lukewarm at best and was really just not good. It sounded great on the menu but the whole thing was a letdown and I believe the only sauerkraut was the one little piece of cabbage you see in the picture. My dining partner said the chopped steak was in small little pieces. Just weird. We gave up on drink refills or getting our check at the table and went to the counter to pay so we could leave. I have heard good things about breakfast so I will give that a try. The good news is this is a new business and they will hopefully learn a lot and make some improvements as they go along.

    Great food, excellent service and hospitality. I went with a group of friends. Most of us had the…read moresmash burger. It was juicy with all the right toppings to make it a delicious, drippy delight! The meat was cooked perfectly. The crinkle fries were hot and as good as frozen fries can be. One friend got the banana milkshake and raved at how much banana taste it had. Several also indulged with dessert. The Hot Fudge Sundae was a hit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Can't wait to return as I hear their chicken tenders are great but I have to try the shrimp poboy.

    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.

    The burgers here are so freakin good. No special "gourmet ingredients" - just the perfect blend of…read moremayo, ketchup, mustard lettuce, tomatoes and red onions. This is our absolute favorite burger place. Go there and you will be hooked. I had the opportunity to visit two days in a row, this week. So, I decided to try something different from the menu. I got the Shrimp Poboy. It was very good and pretty big, with lots of shrimp. (See pic). But, I won't get it again. It just doesn't compare with that perfect burger. Lesson learned. Still 5 stars - absolutely nothing wrong with the poboy - it just wasn't as good as the cheeseburgers! Someone in another review said they had "hand dipped" shakes. That is NOT TRUE. They have soft serve and it is excellent! They have make shakes, floats, sundaes, cones and even nanner splits. The soft serve is that icy kind that is SO GOOD. The CRINKLE CUT Fries are great dipped in ranch. Young, clean cut, super friendly staff are very helpful. Atmosphere- kind of a clean, diner-looking hole-in-the-wall. It is at exit 4 (4 miles from Mississippi line) from I-10 head north just a couple of miles - you can't miss it. Worth the trip EVERY TIME!!

    It's really upsetting to see the quality of food go down. Sam's really used to have a great burger,…read moreI would stop by when I passed through. The visit tonight was terrible. Fries had little to no seasoning. The burger was bland, no structure. Aside from the food I was told the kids combo didn't come with fries, even though the menu clearly stated that it did. It's depressing that Sam's has declined to the level it is currently at.
