Half the places weren't open. They had tons of options. Overall the place we did eat from was good. Very cool place to take kids because of the park. Just wish they had all the places opened & the bathrooms as well. read more

Since I've visited, they've added a few things and I still LOVE it! They've added a sun shade in a part of the seating area (needed that), Cammie's Old Dutch ice cream is here (w/ Sno Biz-- definitely needed that), and there's also an adults-only area after 7pm (nice). I'm loving the increased and unique lineup of events coming to the FORT. I attended my first comedy show in the gulf coast area, here last night. Cheers to even more fun times and the evolution of the FORT Container Park! read more

The Fort Container Park addition to Spanish Fort. It is a great place to bring the kids, hang outside, have a meal and grab a beverage. Kids have so much to do, and they have a great time. Many restaurants and bars offer a wide variety of food from tacos to burgers. Really well thought out and executed. We will continue to go, and can't wait for Spring to give way to warmer weather so that we can enjoy the outdoors more and more! read more

The Fort Park - Fun for the entire family - our new go to, when not heading to the beach. - Playgrounds Near Me - Spanish Fort, Alabama

This place is SO cool. Like... wow! I had heard of container parks but didn't know about this one just outside Mobile until it was suggested to us. (They are literally shipping containers made into a park!!!) We stopped by to kill some time and were greeted with beer samples from Terrapin, a cocktail of the day for $3.50 at the bar, and they were setting up for music and fireworks that night (July 5). (We just missed happy hour.) The space is SO colorful and fun, and there are a variety of food options. I was about to head to dinner plans elsewhere, so I didn't eat anything, but the drink I had was good, and the service was friendly. If you want a nice place to hang out and some fun foods to try, you've got to check this place out. What a truly hidden gem. I would love to see more of these pop up elsewhere. Note: there is plenty of parking nearby. read more

The Fort was an awesome experience! I love the open outdoor seating which is socially distanced. There is a nice play area for the kids and beautiful fountains. Great place to have an outdoor birthday party. So many nice places to eat and drink. I tried the Easy Rider burger at Bleus Burger spot and it was pure heaven to my taste buds. I can wait to return to try some other places in the park. read more

My first visit here was for a Yelp event and I'm glad I finally got here after reading some really good things about it from my fellow Yelpers. I dig this place because it's a great concept and well executed. Like "The Gulf" in Orange Beach it's big steel shipping containers that have been repurposed and decked out as restaurants and bars. While I would rather see the location near the water rather than on the edge of a shopping mall however to their credit they positioned it in a hill and done well to isolate the overall looks and views so you do kinda get an outdoorsy feel about it, so nice job with maximizing the space. I especially appreciate the open air live music, fires and big screen TV where you can kick back and relax with your favorite food and/or beverage and just chill. It's also good to bring kids because there's a nice playground for the with a fun looking splash pad where they can frolick and get wet. Seating is a bit limited, which could be an issue if there's heavy traffic, but there's plenty of picnic tables and covered seating in a large pavilion with restrooms. Here's an issue, the single person restrooms are spread out and a little difficult to locate and the worse part, the one that I uses smelled funky, was kinda stark and needed cleaning. It made me look at the place in a more critical way because I had to wonder who was in charge of such things. I mean some of the "containers" have multiple businesses in one unit and the rest room is on an outside corner isolated and not clearly a part of any specific business. In other words the rest rooms are, like much of the property, more of a common area. I didn't notice anyone doing any maintaining of the common areas but I assume that falls to someone, just curious. But moving on .... The businesses inside the park include; Tap Station Craft Kitchen, Beakers Coffee / Sno Biz, Bleus Burger, Dragonfly Taco Bar and Happy Pizza. Now there's no doubt that Bleus Burger make a mighty fine burger and I recommend this locally owned gourmet craft burger bar for sure but I discovered a couple terrific new taste sensations on this adventure. Pizza on a cone and crawfish on my pizza pie!!!! Indeed Happy Pizza and the owner Steve was a real treat. We started out with the French fries topped with crab & crawfish, very tasty but them we dig in to our pepperoni pizza cones, yep pizza dough shaped like ice cream cones, baked nicely with all the pizza fixing inside both tasty & quite delightful. After we finished we were met by Steve the owner who asked us if we'd like to try his special Happy Pizza and while reluctant we all said YES ;-) Minutes later he brought out a while pie that contained a few slices of pepperoni and the rest was crab & crawfish pizza. He suggested some sirachi which I took him up on and it absolutely terrific. Afterwards he asked if we would like to leave our email addresses because he is in the process of opening a cajun restaurant nearby and he wanted to keep us up to date, of course we handed them over and are looking forward to checking that out as well as returning to this place in the near future. Yes Happy Pizza is a another locally owned business that has got it going on!! Back to "The Fort", there's lots of parking across the street and pets are welcome in non-food areas of the park, however speaking of non-food areas, I was a bit turned off when an employee at a bar barked at me about my vape as I was walking to find a restroom. It was especially curious since I wasn't inside their establishment and I was outdoors on a sidewalk just passing by, but I will leave the subject without further comment. (as a former smoker & now vaping I fail to understand the issue with releasing propylene glycol into the open air, I mean it's the exact stuff used on fog machines and well fog machines are cool, but there I go actually commenting LOL) NOTE: The Fort is open 11am-10pm on Friday & Saturday & 11am-8pm the rest of the week but cosed on Mondays! Bottom line: The park is a 3.5 star, and Happy Pizza & Bleus Burger gets 5, I haven't tried the other establishments but the concept is good and it's definetly with checking it out. read more

Most of them the businesses are closed and the park has no restrooms open for people who dine there or play on the playground. Not for anyone who has a young child that needs to use the bathroom Thai restaurant was good but really no other choices for food or entertainment. read more

What a great concept, and combine that with super weather and my wife, and I, had a great atmosphere for our first trip to The Fort Container Park. She wanted to eat at Dragonfly Taco Bar - which is from their fantastic restaurant in Fairhope. They have moved to a location in Daphne, along with still having the location in Fairhope. (I believe.) We chose instead to eat at Bleus Burgers, with my wife having the Brussel Sprout appetizer and I had the 1/2 pound patty melt, with onion rings substituted for the fries. The Brussels were awesome with huge pieces of bacon. They had been a big seller today so unfortunately they were out of the pickled red onions which were supposed to garnish them. Still, very good and they come with a very mild Gorgonzola Cream. We thought the onions would have taken it to a whole new level and the cream could have been stronger. We really could not tell there was any Gorgonzola in the cream. My patty melt was super. Cooked perfectly, juicy, cheesy and really good caramelized onions. The bread was toasted perfectly... the onion rings, on the other hand, were definitely not made in house (I.e. frozen). Still the patty melt was stellar. Next time I will get the Parmesan truffle fries instead of the onion rings. read more

Oh we love this place! Only been here once, but before this I did not even know this place existed! The selection of food and drinks is pretty amazing! The prices are not bad at all. There's definitely a little something for everyone, plus it's fairly kids friendly! Which is a plus for me with a toddler. There's a pretty decent size playground nearby for all sorts of ages!! Toddlers to middle schoolers. It's close to stores like JCPenney and Kohl's, so if the kids/dads were hungry or want to go somewhere else, while the mom shops, it's a nice escape. read more

Fun place for lunch or dinner! Very family friendly with splash pad, playground, and yard games with an outdoor screen for movies and sports. Covered eating areas with picnic tables and fans. No outside food/drink allowed. Food options include pizza, burgers, Thai, bar, ice cream, and snow cones. For those on Keto or GF, each has options for those diets. Pizza offers a cauliflower GF crust or crust less pizza bowl, the Thai place has grilled satay, and the burger has a lettuce wrap. Snow cones have a few sugar free options as well. Love the outdoor, laid back atmosphere! read more

What a cool concept! The Fort is an outdoor venue with such a unique theme and I'm all about it. Re-purposed shipping containers house a handful of restaurants and bars in a spacious park complete with ponds, string lights and games! It's a one of a kind family friendly experience. The night I went I browsed around leisurely while listening to some great live music before deciding to stop at Dragon Fly Taco bar where I enjoyed a braised pork and a blackened ribeye taco. Both were fabulous! There's also a Dickey's, Bleu's Burger, a coffee/shaved ice joint and a few other places to grab some grub. Something for everyone for sure! It just recently opened and it's large enough that I won't be surprised to see them add more restaurants in the future. I so enjoyed my time here and will be back when I am in Spanish Fort again! read more

One of the first places to venture out a teensy bit since my family had gotten vaccinated but we had looked for outdoor eating and this was perfect! It was in August that we went and it was a Sunday at about 7 pm. We had the place almost to ourselves! I think they might be kinda closing down for the winter? We went a couple of weeks ago and it looked closed-ish but I'm hoping it's still a thing in spring. It was Amazing! Something for everyone! My daughter and I got poke, hubby had a burger and there was a bar in the middle of the place, so I got a blue moon. There was picnic bench seating and shade. A huge TV if there was a sport on. read more

What a great place for the whole family! What is it exactly? Think food trucks setup around a park, except they're shipping containers. There's a pond, cornhole boards, fire pits, and plenty of area for kids to run and play and burn off energy. They even have local bands playing there on occasion. I totally love the concept of this place! There are about 8 different food containers, including Soul Bowlz, Dickey's BBQ, Bleus Burgers, Dragonfly Taco Bar, Deuce Coup (chicken and waffles), Beakers Coffee and Sno Biz, Happy Pizza, and the Tap Room. Some have their own patio seating, and there are plenty of picnic tables scattered about. They have heaters and fire pits for the chillier nights. Pets are welcome in the park section but not in the picnic area or near the food. read more

Great experience at The Fort! We were passing through the area and stopped on a whim. I'm so glad we did. The area has a great playground and a splash pad. Plenty of picnic tables for seating and several options for food. No indoor seating. I opted for the tacos at Dragonfly Taco Bar because I love their location in Fairhope. The quality was spot on and they had really great prices on their daily specials. I tried one of each of the daily specials and shared with my daughter. We both agreed that the top sirloin was our favorite, but the sweet chili glaze with chicken and the swordfish with dill slaw were also amazing. Definitely planning on future visits, weather permitting. read more

Most of the restaurants are closed. On the day we went, there was no band which is fine but I atleast expected some speakers playing back ground music. It made for a very quiet and boring experience. Park across the street looked nice for smaller kids and families. read more

The Fort Container Park was on my list of local attractions to visit while vacationing in the area. We went at night and walked with our puppy and enjoyed some Dutch ice cream and gourmet coffee. They have pizza and other eateries and stands. There was music playing, water fountains with lights and a projector outside playing the football game. I wish they had better food options but nonetheless we had a nice little evening out. read more

Super awesome place with lots of good food. I'll update this review once I find my photos I took from there!

I've been wanting to come to The Fort for a looonnngggg time and we finally made our way over. Hidden by the shops near the interstate, The Fort is truly a hidden gem. This place has a unique concept of food truck style restaurants based out of shipping containers. There is definitely a variety of food choices that should please everyone, seating is open so you don't have to feel limited to one place if everyone in your party can't agree. I love that this place is family friendly but also caters to adults too, boasting plenty of bars and TVs if you're trying to catch a game during a family outing. We stopped at Dragonfly first as we have been to the one in Fairhope, they have crazy good tacos. We went with the turnip fries, which, I promise are delicious despite the fact that they are turnips. They also had some great drink specials, which I think change throughout the week along with food specials. There was Harry Potter trivia taking place at the open area nearby, which was fun to play along with unofficially. My fiancé was feeling a burger, so after Dragonfly we walked over to Bleu's Burgers, and dang they looked good! He was pleased with his burger (sadly I don't remember which one) and the truffle fries had a nice flavor. I can't wait to return and check out the other places that the Fort has to offer! read more

The fort is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in the Mobile area! They have a ton of fun events from seeing Santa to cornhole tournaments! Football watch parties to Christmas tree lightings and fireworks for the 4th of July. Parking is free and it's no cost to get in. They keep the place cozy, there are heaters for the cold nights and fans for the hot days. They have fire pits and even a splash park! For food it's diners choice, Happy Pizza, Dragonfly, Terrapin Tap room, Blue's Burgers and a bbq stand that just opened! The have Beakers coffee and the tap room sports a great selection of beers and liquor for whatever tastes you may have. I know dragonfly does their signature drinks and beer as well! Eat where you want and join your friends in the communal dining area to eat together. I'm quickly learning to love this place and if you haven't been yet you should definitely check it out! read more

Fun for all ages. Great severs and lots of activities. I love Market Days and Movie Night. Don't mess Dragonfly's $2 tacos and beer Tuesday afternoons/evenings and many Thursdays. The Fort has done a great job making the container park work in all weather. There are fans, misters, heaters and even fire pits. There are clear rain curtains for monsoons. I like that there are 9? Restaurants. Everyone can get what they crave. We adults can imbibe while the kidlets spearheaded on the pad or play the many games about. This is unique for our area, so it is a stop for all of my visiting friends read more

First...thanks Juliet for putting on this Yelp event. You always make Yelping fun. Second...thanks to The Fort Container Park for having the guts to have a bunch of Yelpers in to hangout, eat food and write reviews. So here goes...(note our selections are based on items that the restaurants wanted us to try.) My wife had the Bangin' Shrimp Bowl from Bleus Burger. She described it as the perfect mix of sweet and heat. She said she would definitely order that again. This did win "Best of Fest" at the Shrimp Festival. I went with the combo of Happy Fries and Pepperoni Cone from Happy Pizza. Who would have thought of crab meat, crawfish and sauce on top of fries? Delicious. The Pepperoni Cone was a great blend of cheese, pepperoni and sauce in (what else) a cone. This definitely hit the spot. We also had a few adult beverages and listened to live music. Looking for a fun spot to grab a bite and chillax...head the "The Fort". read more

They have great poke bowls and it's a wonderful place to relax outside with kids and/or dogs. Also can't beat cold beers! The pizza was decent but not great and they could really do some maintenance/up keep on the splash park and playground (hasn't been mulched in what looks like years!!) read more

Very cool setup. The container park had about six restaurants, a bar, a coffee place and a small shop. We had Bleus Burger. Not a fan of their menu. All the burgers had some kind weird topping like mushrooms. I got the Highway 61 with no jalapeños. It came with crispy onions, cheddar cheese and barbecue sauce. The burger was decent but not worth the $12 it cost. The fries were great but again not worth $12$ for burgers and fries. My entire order was my burger, two kids burgers (one with cheese on the fries), and a lemonade (no refills) and it cost over $33! That seems pretty expensive too me for especially when two of the burgers were kids burgers that didn't even include a drink. I don't think I'll be trying it again just because of the price, but I'll definitely be back to the Fort to try the other restaurants. read more

This venue is next to a park in Spanish Fort Town Center and offers 6 restaurants, 4 of which serve alcohol, coffee and desserts. It's open air with common seating and is absolutely amazing. We've enjoyed all the different restaurants and this has become a go to lunch and dinner retreat. It's relaxing and fun. read more

We come here just about every weekend. It is a nice area very well kept. There is a few choices for food, honestly we have not had anything we haven't liked. You can choose pizza, burgers, Tex-Mex or seafood. Most places serve alcohol but there is also a full service bar that appears to be sponsored by Terrapins. There is a splash pad right next door also a kids playground. They have a very large TV that they typically put sports on. We have yet to make it out for live music, we wish they did it more often. I could keep going on but just know on a nice day where you want to be outside this is a good place to hang out at and grab a bite to eat a drink and watch the kids run around. read more

This is the perfect place to have a relaxing afternoon hanging out with people. The atmosphere is wonderful and open. The food was good, lots of things to try, excellent drink choices as well. It's literally right beside a very nice playground and my little girl had as much if not more fun than the adults in our group. If I had a complaint it would be that it is a weather dependent type place due to things being outside, if it's to cold or raining it will take away from the experience. That being said, it's not much to complain about, the outside atmosphere is what makes the place unique!! read more

Great food in a fun, family friendly atmosphere. Spanish Fort needed this! It is perfect for everyone! There are plenty of food options so that each individual in a large group can find something that they love. This is a great concept! read more

Great place to chill and catch a vibe! Very family friendly place. The food and ice cream is delicious .

I love this concept, but hate the limited seating. I wish every container had the upstairs option like the Tap Room. This place is always packed, and I love having options like a "food court". I was sad when the pizza cone place did not serve pizza cones (because the little kid in me would die for one), but Dragonfly and their staff is 5 stars alone. Always friendly, always going the extra mile- just like their Fairhope location. I really love having this in SF- outdoor music and the fact you can picnic with your dog, makes this a millennial's oasis. read more

LOVE the atmosphere. Very unique concept. My two boys always have a lot of fun with the outdoor activities and nearby park. The food cost is HIGH for the value, though, which will keep us from visiting as often as we'd probably like. read more

This place is so cute! I went to one container for a pizza, another for a beer, and then another for a coffee before I left. My only complaint is the hours. How can you have a coffee shop and Soul Bowlz there but not open until 11?? I'd love to be able to swing by and grab a lavender coffee in the AM. read more

Cool place with many options (pizza, tacos, burgers, smoothies, snow cones, coffee and craft beer). So far we have tried Soul Bowlz (fancy fruit bowls/parfaits) which was refreshingly light and delicious. Also tried Bleus Burger which was excellent as well. Highly recommend The Fort, best time to go is during good weather because it's got a lot of outdoor seating. read more
