I'd say I'm obsessed with their signature Big Momma - and I am - but I also loved The Black Swan and The Sunburned Tomato.

The Big Momma was freshly toasthad big bold flavor The Beli is a cute sandwich shop with plenty of outside seating. Sandwich concoctions are truly unique. My wife had the Skinny Legend which was equally tasty. Make sure you know what to expect. It is an open air, dog-friendly, sandwich place with few sides choices (not even many chip options). Additionally there is not any parking. Parking is on the street a few blocks away. Don't try to drive down the driveway next to the sandwich shop in order to park in the back either. The owners of the restaurant next door will be sure to tell you you can't park there. If you just want a good tasting sandwich in the ocean air, this is the place.

This store is so much cleaner and the buffet so much nicer than any of the New Orleans area locations I've frequented. It is nice to get my New Orleans staples here like Rouse's house brand Creole Mustard and their superior 100% olive oil Rouse's Olive Salad in regular or jalapeno. They even have Hubig's Pies here! Rouse's has what New Orleans folks need to stay sane when they are down in the culinary wilds of Lower Alabama where finding just regular mustard is often quite a task much less the BEST mustard option of creole mustard is nearly impossible to find at local restaurants unless you bring your own. I always keep creole mustard in my vehicle at all times as I have frequent mustard emergencies whenever I have to deal with the culinary shortcomings of Alabama. Don't even get me started on what they call "gumbo" which is usually just blah Alabama soup. The ONLY acceptable gumbo I've found in Alabama is at Tamara's Downtown in Fairhope!

I was so happy when I went down the spice aisle to find my McCormick seasoned meat tenderizer. I can't find it in any grocery store in Florida and it was a staple in my pantry for many years. I have been ordering it on Amazon for a ridiculous price. I got two. One for Pensacola and one to bring back with me to Panama. Now I don't have to drive all the way to New Orleans to get great Cajun and Creole faves. I'm also pretty excited about the hot bar. Seafood Friday 999 a pound and the only day they serve seafood gumbo. I'm sure the chicken gumbo is great but there's nothing like seafood gumbo. What's even greater is the customer Service at Rouses! All of the workers are superduper, friendly, and helpful. My son got fresh made popcorn and cotton candy. The sushi chef hooked me up with sushi exactly the way I like it. You just can't go wrong with Rouses!!

They have a seafood dept that has a variety to choose from, mostly known for their boiled shrimp and crawfish~Cajun style. We like the seafood dips they have, especially the smoked tuna a dip. They have the best key lime pie in town. So, I usually have one of those in my freezer. Oh, they have a big area for alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. You name it, Rouse's probably has it. Rouse's is more convenient to the beach than other grocery stores, but it may be a little pricier. You have to weigh the pros and the cons, like all other places. Note: pics taken from Rouse's online site.

This location has a fresh sushi count that looked amazing and a great selection of fresh or steamed fish and seafood. I love walking down the aisles to see all the things you'd never find in most grocery stores, the staff here is very welcoming and outgoing and always ready to help direct you to anything you need. I just heard Rouse purchased (10) more Winn Dixie locations that they plan to renovate and rebrand them under the Rouse name, unfortunately none close to my home but it's great news for their Louisiana and Mississippi loyal customers. If you've never entered a Rouse Market you definitely need to check them out...

Their flavor profile is exceptional and I recommend getting the breaded chicken, but you have to get there in the morning, otherwise you'll be out of luck!

We went back Thursday morning and got a large bag of wings. They also have a fresh salad bar and it has everything that you could want. Publix is always one of our favorite places to shop as well as get some good Southern Fried Chicken. Check them out when you're in the Gulf Shores area!
