Loved the food here!! The Mango BBQ shrimp salad was one of the best meals I have had here! We had Sue as our waitress and she... was so sweet and on top of everything for the night! Told the wait was 1 hour long and only waited for 20 min. I woulddefinitely love to come back! Read more
My family and I will try this place again. The service was amazing! Our waitress Bee did a phenomenal job and we will return... because of her service. The food was OK. Nothing to write home about. But I did see other items I would like to try. We wentwith very safe options- the ones you can?t mess up. I would definitely recommend a lunchtime outing at Gulf Island Grill! Read more
We decided to stop by the "Gulf Island Grill" as our first place to eat in gulf shores upon arrival. Nice view, nice location,... outdoor dining. The restaurant was decently clean, the staff was friendly and attentive. Their mixed drinks were pretty tastyand the food was delicious. Try the Yaya! The Gumbo was pretty good also. If I had any complaint, the menus were very used andtattered, it felt gross handling them before dinner and they should be replaced. The parking lot entrance and exit have somesteep inclines (Warning your car may scrape entering and exiting the lot even if you do it at an extreme angle) I still gave 5stars because the food was excellent and staff was very nice as I said above.

First time visit; gumbo was good and the blackened shrimp queso was amazing!!!! Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was due to our... server, he was doing great until the large group of workers came in then he kinda forgot about us as we were there at 11:30 whennobody was there. Was totally fine with him getting their drink and food orders due to their limited time for lunch but heshould have stayed on task after that was completed. My suggestion is he just learns from this for the next time???????????? Idefinitely will come back when through here again!!!!! Read more
EXCELLENT FOOD. Wonderful service. Great atmosphere. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice and grilled veggies. Mom ordered... the fried grouper and fries. And then we shared with each other. I can't pick which one was better. Read more
Tried this one for dinner tonight and it was another good choice. We took an Uber to the restaurant and funny thing- the Uber... driver was the same guy that was our bellman a few days ago. How?d that happen? Anyway, the place was very busy and we asked ifwe could wait at the bar. No problem. Ordered a round of drinks and asked about appetizers. Found out we could order dinner fromthere too. ???? My two friends ordered the grouper roulade. I?d really wanted a grouper sandwich but was not on the menu. Thestaff was very accommodating and said they?d make one for me. It didn?t take very long for our appetizers to arrive. Jen got thecrab stuffed mushrooms while I opted for a half pound of boiled shrimp. The shrimpies had some red spices on them and were alittle spicy, but not too much. If you don?t like spicy I?d advise you to ask them to leave it off or ask for much less. Itburned my lips for a bit afterward. The cocktail sauce had plenty of horseradish; just the way I like it. Jen said the crabstuffed mushrooms were excellent and the crab stuffing was very generous. Dinner arrived and again we were not disappointed.They said the grouper roulade was perfect and again a very generous serving of the crab stuffing. My grouper sandwich was verybig, with perfectly prepared fried grouper, lettuce, tomato and tarter sauce. I?d recommend asking them to cut it in half oreven thirds to make it easier to handle. I made a big mess of it but enjoyed every sloppy bite. I opted for the steamed veggieson the side in place of the fries and they were excellent. Delicately seasoned and cooked enough to be tender but not mushy.They still had a little bite to them. The bartender was great, very friendly and helpful. They had an assortment of specialtycocktails and he patiently described several to us. Jen ordered one called What the Duck; it was blue and had a little rubberduck floating in it. Too cute! To finish up the two ordered these big chocolate cocktails called Bushw Read more
I cannot express this enough. This was THE best place to eat. The staff was fabulous and the food was so delicious. You got a... very good portion of food for what you are paying for and it was real There was lots to look at and contribute to (putting adollar on the wall) They have a shop so you can get a shirt if you?d like.
