“ Recommended that we try this restaurant and after numerous meals, this restaurant far exceeded the expectations. Our server Riley was absolutely wonderful, she gave us a drink suggestion which turned into 2. She always had a smile on her face and even jumped in to help out another table that wasn't hers. She stopped several times to make sure everything was good. Her service went above and beyond. She is 5 Star Service! The food was amazing and definitely worth every penny. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who ever visits the Gulf Shores area. Thank You for you such a wonderful place to dine. ”
“ Our group of 7 decided to come here, based on advice. We were seated right away and the waitress took our drink orders. She was back in a flash, with those drinks. Thus began our wonderful experience at this restaurant. We all ordered different things. All us said the food was excellent, and the perfect temperature, and the portions were large. This is an excellent restaurant! The views were nice, the food excellent, and the wait-staff was very attentive. We all plan to return here, again. ”

“ We were here on vacation and ate at the former location 2 years ago. We had a great experience and decided to come back and try the new location. There were 4 of us and we went for an early dinner. Stephanie, our server was excellent and especially helpful in menu selections and recommendations for a boat tour. Everything was delicious. We ate outside with the perfect water view. 3 of us ordered the Ribeye special and 1 of us had the Trigger fish special. We added on the coco loco shrimp. The sauce was to die for! There was a great selection of southern sides. We had the collard greens, cheese grits, green beans, fried green tomatoes and loaded baked potato. Sides were also delicious! We topped it all off with the key lime pie. Best meal of our vacation! ”
“ This was a hidden gem! One of those golden nuggets you want to keep all to yourself! Haha! Went in for a single meal but the menu was so tasty we ended up having a 5 course meal! Fried green tomatoes & pickles are great starters! Food absolutely incredible but the staff makes this place an even better experience! Our waitress was the sweetest! PS. Please be sure you try the white chocolate bread pudding! You will only regret if you don’t try! Thanks Tin Top! ”
