Our family went fairly late and liked the idea of finding non-fast food at that time of night. Service was pretty slow and definitely focused on the adult and drinking crowd (makes sense considering it was late on a Friday night). Food was decent but nothing exceptional. read more

Best Cheesesteak in Bama. Service was good for my group of 15. Chips were great. 100% would go again.

Our favorite bar and restaurant on the planet and the sole reason we return to Gulf Shores area every summer. Best service, ambiance, food, and cocktails in the world. read more

Food was quick to come out and delish. Service was super friendly. A lot of locals but never felt out of place. Would visit again if ever in the area. read more

The nachos always bring me back to life after a long night out and the staff always keep me giggling.

Fabulous cheesesteaks! Best i've had anywhere since leaving Philadelphia 25+ years ago. This is one of our favorite places for lunch at the beach. read more

So we're down in Gulf Shores and we hit the "top spots" and we starting asking where the locals go for a drink. We hear "The Sloop" and directions were "it's under the bridge" I knew I had to see it. If you like to hang out in dives where everybody knows your name, the drinks are good and you feel at home then make this your first stop. PS: nothing wrong with taking a Uber home. read more

Wow! 3 different meals. Steak quesdilla was fab. Best ever. The Italian sandwich gets a 10. Then the chili...and grilled shrimp. Server was great. GO! read more

I visited with 4 teenage boys during a mini spring break trip for lunch. This place did not disappoint. Great food, quick service, cozy atmosphere and strong drinks. The gentleman that waited on us was extremely engaging with the table and cracking jokes with the boys. I was not sure what I wanted and was stuck between the Italian sandwich and party fries... he picked for me and let me tell you.. the Italian sandwich was delicious! The red onions and balsamic vinegar gave this traditional deli sandwich a flavorful twist. My son had the saucy meatball sandwich and I think he finished it in a new record time. Other menu items enjoyed by the table were the grilled chicken sandwich which was cooked perfectly and the chicken Caesar salad... I honestly think everyone cleared their plates. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely return. read more

Great food. Great service. Awesome pricing! Shrimp and Grits were a hit. Kids loved the pancakes.

We loved The Sloop! My mom (70), my daughter (7), and I (45) went while visiting Gulf Shores. I only mention the ages because each one of us left full and happy. We had the Sizzlin' Shrimp- amazing, stuffed mushrooms- so delish, the Italiano (get the large and take 1/2 home, it's just as good later, and the Twin Burger- it's so messy you know it's fantastic. The staff are genuine and kind. Although my Indiana born and raised daughter was shocked to hear my mom called "babe" We might still go back this week before we leave! read more

Followed the high yelp rating and it didn't disappoint. Teenagers said it was the best chicken sandwich they've ever had. My cheesesteak and wife's Italian were amazing. Service was fun and genuine. A great find while on vacation! read more

Great nachos and Philly cheesesteak. Great "bar food" and even had a decent variety of meals for our kids. The place would be a great place for adult night out! Great service and prices. read more

The best way that I can describe the sloop is, if you lived in the area, this would be either a regular hangout spot or a place you ate lunch several times a week. My family and I eat here a lot while on vacation, usually for lunch, but it's definitely a place that has a really good atmosphere. I recommend either the daily special, chili dogs or Philly cheesesteak. Either way, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Every time we visit they make us feel like we're a part of the family. We miss you guys! read more

This was the closest to being in a bar in Northwestern Wisconsin that I found.. food was excellent and hot, great wait staff, and Brian was a hoot!! I owned a bar up there and I know what it takes to keep people happy and this place has "it".....Thank y'all Fluffy Sather Spooner/ Minong Wi. read more

Found the diamond when we were not expecting to find a new local watering hole ! Coors light are very cold ! The stuffed mushroom appetizer is so good! Belly up to the bar you won't be disappointed that you ! read more

This place is horrible, don't eat here. Kidding! This place is a hidden gem! My go to are the wings, probably the best I've ever had. They are the small ones, but the best. My wife gets the burger and I always get a bite cause it is awesome. The staff always of always nice, and cheerful. Love it! read more

Loved this place. It is a local dive bar. Everyone was so friendly. Great drinks. Didn't get any food, so can't rate the food. It was a fun place. A definite must visit if ever in Gulf Shores. read more

Every one was nice even the other customers. Kept our drinks refilled. Checked on us multiple times throughout lunch. Cheesesteak egg rolls have a serious kick delicious. Definitely feels like a bar but kid friendly. read more

Very good!! Sweet server!! Cute little restaurant/bar. Philly cheesesteak and homemade potato chips, $9.00. Under the bridge in Gulf Shores, a hidden find!! read more

Philly cheese steaks are AMAZING!! Everyone is polite and mellow atmosphere. Definitely recommend!!

the service was great. I believe the owner served us. the chicken for the salad was alright, a few too many chewy pieces. the beef egg rolls were loaded with cabbage & very little beef. the philly was average. the price was insane for what we got. $70 later.... the most expensive place we've been in gulf shores for very mediocre food. read more

Now I know what everyone was talking about and finally found the place. Loved the ambience... when I walked in just about everyone was enjoying a beer w/ a Philly cheesesteak. Guess they are known for them so I called in my order to p/u. It was probably one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I have ever had. And I loved the homemade chips. But what really impressed me beyond the quality food was being greeted when I walked in and asked by my name! Then within minutes I had my lunch and was on my way... will definitely come back for a Philly cheesesteak where I can also enjoy a beer with my sandwich. Also coming back to check out their live music next time in Gulf Shores. read more

Don't go here! Please don't! This is one of the last little hidden gems for us locals. And to be honest if you start coming also it will get even more crowded. The food is awesome, the drinks are always just right and the servers always have a smile. The owner growls a little now and then but I can't blame them some people just don't get it. Wait your turn get your drinks food relax inside or outside listen to the music and just have a good time. If you're at the bar tell the them "Bald headed Fat Man" sent ya aka.

Amazing hidden gem in Gulf Shores. Absolutely best authentic Philly Cheesesteak I've ever had. I recommend you get it with Cheese Whiz and all mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and hot chili peppers. For most, a half sandwich will be enough. The cheese is cooked in with the meat so it's not like Cheese Whiz on top. Oh, and try the Buffalo Chicken Fries... it's why you only need half a sandwich. read more

It feels more like a bar than a restaurant and was a bit more casual than we expected. However, the deciding factor in a review is how noisy and cramped it was. read more

Great atmosphere- servers were attentive and made the experience so much fun .. steak eggrolls had way more spice than I expected.. but overall, we had a fun experience and felt we got a good portion of food for what we paid - definitely recommend read more

love the chicken Philly but the cheese cake egg rolls.. They are inedible. Definitely recommend going here and getting the sandwiches but I'd skip the $10 dessert.. read more

This is one of my favorite places on the island! The vibe is very much dive bar/hole in the wall/where the locals go. The food is absolutely incredible and so uniquely different from all the other small joints that only offer fried stuff. The drinks are always cold. The music out back is a blast. Jhenya, Jazzy, and Juggernaut are the best bartenders on the island! Jamie and BR have the restaurant business down to a T. This spot is one you do not want to miss!! read more
