Places to eat ?

I've been traveling Gulfshores for a few years. Honestly I've been disappointed in the selection of restaurants. Staying at Days Inn and looking for local opinions as far as food.

Pizza
Seafood
Poboys

Ect...

Bar food too.

Thanks

Ruben and swamp soup is my favorite, don't eat out much but that is a have to 1or2 times can't comment on other meals do to lack of trying....love there Rubens and just enough to fill me up without being uncomfortable with fries included.....very reasonable priced....
Cricos for the all you can eat pizza daily special 11am to 3pm with salad and drink for 8.00, always some kind of pasta dish 5 or 6 pizzas to choose from..... usually if the fishing is slow that is my go to lunch if I want to treat myself other then what I pack for the pier....RIGHT down town by shrimp basket

We have to do Doc’s Seafood twice (best fried shrimp in the world!) as well as Fish River.
Haven’t been to the new Doc’s yet on Gulf Blvd. I’m sure it is just as good as the original and much closer to 59 and Gulf.

+1 On Flippers at Bear Point. Save room for the ice cream.

It's worth the drive to go to the Roadkill Cafe in Elberta, but you need to get there before 12:30 because they only prepare a certain amount of food and when it's gone, you're outta luck. Delicious and VERY reasonably priced for an AYCE buffet. Drink and dessert included in price.

You are correct. Those two can make a fine meal!

+1 on Flippers and Cricos. Taking your catch(cleaned) and letting Flippers blacken it is a fine meal. Best breakfast we have ever had is at Gulf Shores Diner. Best blackened shrimp is at Mikee's. Best fried shrimp-Shrimp Basket. Best firecracker shrimp-Cosmo's and Cobalt. Best sushi-Cosmo's. Best Buschwacker (and I don't drink-usually)-Shrimp Basket OBA. Best Mexican food-Cactus Cantina Gulf Shores. Best whole fried flounder-Original Oyster House. Best Salad bar-Original Oyster House. Best seafood plate to go-Rouse's Market steamed shrimp, corn and potatoes. Best donuts-Lickin Good in Gulf Shores. Best BBQ-Down South(shack behind the Shell station at County Road 10 and 59. The BBQ sandwich served at the little place on the pier is actually pretty good too.

10-4 on Down South's slab of ribs. Wife says it's too expensive but sometimes when I'm down get a slab for around $25 and makes 3 meals.

I hear ya, a slab of ribs 2 dinners for me and wife.

I have people shop my store and see Filet Mignon for $30 Lb. Tell me it's too high. Filet alcarte at restuarant 8oz is $60. Buy from me $15 and cook yourself.

You didn't mention any Cajun places here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

There is a little place on 59 called "The Crazy Cajun". It's close to Pizza Hut. I haven't eaten there but my wife and daughter loved it.
