Reviews for De Soto's Seafood Kitchen in Gulf Shores, AL
Food here is amazing! We also had a server Kebourne that worked his tail off to keep us topped off on drinks and whatever else... we asked for. Alligator bites were yummy, bit chewy as alligator tends to be. Wife had the catch of the day grouper and shereally liked it. It's a big portion more than she could eat by herself. I got the creole platter and it was delicious! Yummyblackened catfish, crayfish and gumbo. Kids had hamburgers and fettuccine Alfredo and they were very happy with that. Read more
Our first time in Gulf Shores and our first meal out set the bar high. We had been encouraged to eat here by friends with... experience, and they were not wrong. Great ?local? atmosphere and friendly folks. Food was delicious and portion sizes weregreat. Had the gator bites appetizer and it was yummy and tender (unlike the chewy, gristly ?tourist? gator you get some otherplaces). I had the daily catch (grouper) done Caribbean style and it was quite perfect. My wife had the broiled seafood platter(with the surprise option of sweet potato casserole as a side?yum!) Everything was great and we?ll certainly be back. We willalso join all the others who recommend this as a ?must? when visiting Gulf Shores. Read more
This is a popular place with pretty good seafood. We really liked the coconut and grilled shrimp. Seafood gumbo was okay and the... sweet potato casserole left something to be desired. Our service was initially very slow, unacceptably slow. We were seated atour table for 10 minutes before our waitress came to the table to check in and take our drink order. I don?t think we would comeback because there are so many other local places to try. Read more
Great seafood restaurant although the lunch menu is different then the dinner menu! For lunch I had the 3/4 pound of Royal Reds... they came with steamed potatoes on one other side, I chose the corn fritters! The Mrs wanted tge shrimp trio but fir lunch chosethe coconut shrimp is was perfect with a great marmalade for dipping, she also got the slaw and fried okra! And the basket ofrolls were fabulous, all in all a great spot!! Read more
$59 for this. I ordered the grilled grouper (catch of the day). So very salty and spongy. You could tell they had cooked... several that were likely all sitting in a pan for service. This wasn?t fresh grilled with a little char. This was a soggy, overseasoned fish. Very sad as I live grouper. Butter served with it was also cold. My adult daughter ordered chicken strips. Niceportions. She said they were good. Rolls were cold. Overall, very disappointed. Read more
Everyone in my group was talking up De Soto's, so I had to go. We arrived and we were promptly seated and greeted by friendly... wait staff. The food was delicious, appetizers came quickly, and main dishes came before we had time to finish appetizers, andall of it came fresh and piping hot. Fried food platter had quite a bit of food so even a plus size gentleman such as myselfhad plenty to eat. A genuine must visit for the area. Read more
Delicious food and the friendliest staff. We were seated and had our orders taken in under 15 minutes. The food arrived shortly... after and we were all impressed with the portion sizes. A great place to visit for seafood lovers! Read more
Me and wife really enjoy this place. When we where seated they had yeast rolls delivered to our table. Wife order coconut... shrimp that was very good. The okra was the frozen type but was good. The Cole slaw was very typical. Could of used some John'sSause or pineapple chucks. I had fried flounder that I usually don't like. But this was good and I would have it again. Thevegetables were fresh and the sweet potato casserole was very tasty, almost a dessert. Kasey, are server was nice and made surewe had what we needed several times. I would highly recommend this place. We both ate for under 30.00 dollars. Read more
