The food was amazing, the drinks were great. If I had one complaint it would be that it was a little warm in there but would definitely go back and highly recommend.

Delicious casual seafood place! Wait was 1.5 hours on a Wednesday around 6pm. But only took 45 min for a party of 5. Seafood platters were around $25. Lots of seafood on them - steamed vegetables were surprisingly good. Fries are a little spicy. Gumbo was good. Very friendly service. You get great rolls and butter when seated. Service was fast.

Excellent service! Our waiter, Kebourne was very patient and accommodating. They have a 10 and under menu for the kids witch is great for large parties. Adults ordered 2lbs of snow crab each, crab platter, burgers, and grilled shrimp platter. Grilled shrimp was seasoned perfectly. Do waitlist and wait very little.

Long wait. Food was fine, but nothing extraordinary-especially considering the prices. But the service was really slow. They could have gotten people out so much faster (and happier) , if their servers were capable of doing more than one thing at a time, or remembering what they had just said they were going to do. What could have been an enjoyable experience turned into two and a half hours of mostly waiting.

Ordered the Mediterranean Catch and it arrived swimming in green olive oil from a packaged pesto mix. The fish was obviously thawed and was thin, tasteless, and limp—a dull gray and very unappetizing. In addition, the angel hair pasta had some kind of grit, like sand. I sent it back and ate the bread. My wife’s mango relish was canned fruit cocktail—not sure if there was actually mango in it.

Tried it on a whim after seeing an ad and we were not disappointed! Exactly what we were looking for: a good place with southern options to eat with local flair. Good options for lunch specials and kids got free ice cream!

It has a family atmosphere with great servers and great food. Must be a local hang as everyone seemed to know each other. The Key Lime pie was killer!!!

Everything was top-notch! The service was great....he was attentive with a dry sense of humor that we enjoyed. The food was fresh, and all 4 of us enjoyed our choices. We had paneed trigger, Caribbean trigger, New Orleans trigger, and blackened trigger. Flavors in each dish were delicious. The restaurant appeated older from the outside bit it was very clean and spacious inside.

Very efficient and polite waiters. The blackened tripper fish and crab legs were delicious, coconut shrimp was average. The bread was pretty good. The fettuccini Alfredo was pretty tasteless…the blackened chicken on top was very good. The two girls at the register could have cared less and probably need to be a little more professional.

This was one of the better places we ate at on our Gulf Shores trip, the trigger fish was excellent we sat at the bar waiting on a table the bartender was friendly
