I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26

My husband ate here yesterday and insisted on me giving it a try. It, along with the service we…read morereceived, was phenomenal.

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.

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.

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.

You cannot quite tell by my picture, but there were a ton of them under all of that. Highly recommend recommended it. I would definitely go back there!

However, we unfortunately weren't impressed with the flavor. Presentation wise, very fun and cute. The mermaid tail was presented with everything I got except I didn't get the mermaid tail gummy/charm on my sundae, a bit odd haha. The mermaid tail was $8 but really it was beautiful! The vanilla ice cream however, was not great. It tasted like imitation vanilla, like vanilla extract. Not a fan at all. My husband got a milkshake with m&ms and gummy worms. Mix ins were great... but the ice cream again was just OFF. It didn't taste like a normal chocolate ice cream and we couldn't figure out what was off but something was. This is how much of our items we decided to go ahead and toss due to flavor just not being what we expected. I think this is a fun place for kids and a fun experience, but I don't think I'd go back just because of the flavors

Since its establishment earlier this year Milkshake Momma is fast becoming a favorite spot for locals and tourists with their comfort food, unique atmosphere, and over-the-top milkshakes. Founded in Ladonia, Alabama, as part of the Southern Roots Country Store, Milkshake Momma has quickly gained popularity for its delicious comfort food, over-the-top milkshakes, and lively atmosphere.

Their food menu also boasts a variety of tasty options, such as burgers, hot dogs, salads, and funky fries. I've got my eye, for my next visit, on the Outlaw Chili Dog which is a hot dog, topped with mustard, house-made chili, onions, slaw, and pickles, it sounds delish. Also when I'm not being my regularly cheery self I'm coming back for a Cheer Up Buttercup, which has a  Peanut Butter Rim, Vanilla Milkshake or Sundae, Topped with Slice of Cheese Cake, Reese Cups, Reese Pieces, Pretzels Carmel and Whipped Topping, that sounds cheery :-)  I had my first Pistol Pete shake that was quite  enjoyable, and by the way they use Blue Bell Ice Cream here, and I do like their stuff.  Bottom line: Milkshake Momma Burgers and Shakes offers a fun dining experience with its unique atmosphere, delicious comfort food, and over-the-top milkshakes.

Our appetizers were the 4 pieces coconut shrimp and the pita bread chips with spinach dip. Both really yummy and good portion size, too. As I started with, we got there late afternoon and it wasn't real busy so I can't say how loud it might be in the evenings or how long of a wait if it was busy.

Although, they have good happy hour choices. And, during certain times of the year, they have good daily specials.

So, I only go to the Beach House Kitchen at happy hour times and when they offer their daily specials.
