    Smokey Joe

    Our place in Gulf Shores was right down the road from this place so we passed it multiple times and it really caught our eye. The restaurant seemed to embody everything one would want out of a beach deli with open airflow to feel the beach breeze. One morning, we decided to give it a shot. Upon entrance, there was a lady who briefed us on when lunch started and what ingredients they were out of. We decided to order off the lunch menu and I went with the Smokey Joe. After sitting down for a bit, we saw other patrons who arrived well after us receive their food and leave. We quickly realized that our order was forgotten which did leave us a bit upset. After making that clear to the staff, our food then came out in the next couple of minutes. My sandwich was delicious and helped to aleve the pain which came with the long wait. All in all, the place is definitely worth a trip for a quality breakfast and would have been a solid 5-Star had it not been for the long wait.

    This business just opened this week (4/29/21) and their hours are Mon-Sat 9am-6pm with a grand open on  Memorial day week.

    The Beli "The Original Beach Deli" just opened days ago and their serving some tasty stuff. We stopped by on a rainy day before our first visit and met the very friendly and effervescent young ladies responsible for this new culinary venture. Lauren and Beth Ann told us about their vision and we decided to come back today and we're glad we did. They're just a couple blocks west of Hwy 59 on W. Beach Blvd across Island Winds and the beach. For parking turn right on West 3rd just before the shop into the big spacious lot. It's a nice open space space with vibrant colors with four inside tables and several picnic tables outside and an indoor restroom. To order just walk up to the counter, browse the menu, order, pay and take a seat and they'll bring your order to your table. They also have takeout and you can also call ahead with your takeout order at 251-224-1053. They also already have some nice merch available with t-shirts and more. It's also dog friendly and I knew that right away because they have a big cookie jar on the counter full of puppy treats. On to our lunch, well I already had my eye on the Dave-O which is technically on their breakfast menu, which is served 8-1, but they made it for me anyway :-) It's a spicy pimento cheese with fried egg and bacon on toasted sourdough bread. It was fresh, hot and very tasty and that pimento cheese was better than most I've had with a nice little kick. My sweetheart had the Miss V which has spicy pimento cheese, turkey, salami, lettuce, tomato and chive mayo on toasted sourdough as well. Again a fresh and nice looking sandwich that she really enjoyed. We agreed that we will be back that we will be back soon to try some of the breakfast offerings and some more of their sandwiches. I've already got my eye on the Surfer Dude which is crab and shrimp salad on a hero roll, sounds yummy. For drinks they have sodas, sweet and unsweet teas and coffee. They also have a variety of chips and big whole pickles. Bottom line: I enjoyed my first lunch here and an looking forward to my next visit to this the cool new deli by the beach. Recommended!!

    Stopped in the Beli around 1:30 on a Monday. We were immediately greeted & handed a menu. Our part of 6 placed their orders. My husband & I both got the "vegetarians be like" a bag of chips and a Diet Coke. Our total was $26 & we left a tip. We sat outside and our food came out in about 5-10mins. Everyone in our party was extremely pleased and loved their sandwiches! I'm annoying and made everyone rate their sandwich on a scale of 1-10 and every one agreed they were all a 10! Highly recommend & we will be back :)

    Stopped in yesterdy for breakfast after seeing its across the street from our condo. Very cute atmosphere. Friendly owners! Shop puppy was adorable! We ordered a scrambled egg and ground sausage bagel. So yummy! Grabbed an iced coconut crème coffee and a hot coffee as well. I gave it only 4 stars because when we attempted to go again today, we showed up about 10 min before opening (without realizing) and the owner told us to come back in 10-15 min. We did and it was still not open and no one was at the counter even. None of the tables were out and nothing at the counter. For a busy Saturday morning, that was a bit disappointing but I will give them a shot again next trip over this way. Bagel sandwhich was delicious and I really craved it today, so maybe that's why I'm disappointed in today's experience. Until next time!

    The Dave-O is fabulous!

    This place is amazing! It is the cutest bagel/sandwich shop and the food was delicious. I came with a lot of my friends and we all loved what we got! We are coming back tomorrow because it's so good!!!

    We loved the Beli for breakfast! The lady working was super nice and friendly and was trying to go out of her way for whatever we needed. Everything was clearly made fresh. We didn't wait long at all and was super convenient for us at the condo. Between us all we tried all the breakfast main courses and all said we would eat it again. There is a new menu also! Check out the pictures!

Allergy wise, they have GF marked on their menu for certain items, including fries, so make sure you tell them gluten free .... for whatever you want to order to make sure they ensure it's GF!

This spot has a laid-back, fun atmosphere with outdoor games and plenty of picnic tables, making it perfect for hanging out. The setup is super easy: order at the counter, grab a table, and relax. There's also a small corner with merchandise for sale, which adds a nice touch. We ended up sitting at the bar and ordered the Parmesan bacon truffle fries... and wow. They were so good I immediately regretted not being hungrier. I was seriously tempted to order more just to try other items on the menu. We also shared the rainbow flight and had the picnic margarita--everything we tried was fantastic. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Parking is a bit limited, with a small lot in the back and some street parking if you're lucky--but it's definitely worth the effort. Next time, I'm coming hungry and staying for a full meal.
