    We arrived about 8pm on a Tuesday night. While the place seemed fairly crowded we were pleasantly surprised to only have to wait about five minutes to be seated. It did seem that those waiting to sit outside were in for a longer wait. The inside was chilly which was refreshing after being in the heat. Our server was welcoming and on top of it even though she was obviously busy. We ordered the Island Combo with a side of grilled scallops as well as the alligator bites. The alligator bites were delicious and fresh. They were served with a sweet Asian chili sauce on the side, which was super yummy, but sort of overpowered the alligator. The Island Combo was a bit disappointing to us. We are huge seafood lovers and one of the main things we were looking forward to while visiting the gulf is fresh seafood. However, neither of us liked the shrimp. It looked well seasoned when delivered, but once you shelled it there was no flavor. The crab legs were delicious, but how can you really mess up crab! The grilled scallops were a nice addition and we were glad to have them, however for a single skewer of them it was $14.48... Our total for this trip came to $84 for one iced tea, one alligator appetizer, one Island Combo meal, and one add-on of grilled scallops.

    Enjoyed dinner here, service was good and fast. Small amount of parking behind the building for compact cars. The lot next to the restaurant is paid parking, but reasonable. We enjoyed their coconut shrimp, fried flounder and grilled chicken. The fries were great as well as new potatoes. Overall, very enjoyable and filling.

    Bahama Bobs was great! We arrived Saturday evening after a day of travel. It looked crowded but we really didn't have to wait long at all. We ate outside on the deck and it was very nice! We ordered crab claws, tuna sandwiches, fried shrimp, fried oysters, and fish! It was all so good! Service was attentive. Good was delish! Will be back!

    This is the jumbo jalapeño and cheese fried shrimp.

    Frozen stuffed shrimp, Sam's Club is probably better. Zero jalapeño in it. Tiny lil piece of a shrimp. Just nasty. Good thing they have a nice beach location.

    Gumbo and steamed red shrimp

    We went and enjoyed the gumbo and the steamed red shrimp with butter. The shrimp was very good and the portion was so big! Definitely can share. The waitstaff was attentive and very nice. Definitely a place to try!

    We have come here for many years and it is always worth the wait! It's a relatively small place and dinner can be a long ordeal at peak times on the weekends. I always love to get the same things here but there are tons of great choices. The cheese and jalapeño stuffed shrimp is one of my favorite items on the menu and the gumbo is excellent!!

    Great for families

    We waited about a half for a table on a Saturday at Bahama Bob's, expected! We had fun talking to others waiting. We went to the bar and got a drink. It was very busy with families. A casual, fun place! We ordered crab legs and loved them! Our server Richard was awesome!! Very attentive, friendly and available for questions and water! It was busy, he was right on it! We recommend coming here!

    Forgot to take a picture of the sign so here's the menu!

    I've reviewed this place in the past and it is still really good. Didn't get to try the shrimp (I'm allergic to shellfish) but it got great ratings and looked great. I really want to highlight the bartender. We ate at the bar and it was awesome. The bartender (I think her name is Faith) put on a masterclass in service. I have never seen someone keep up the pace like she did while also being incredibly attentive and friendly to all of the people that came in to get drinks. She was a machine, but also a good conversation and akways super nice to everyone! Give her a raise!!!

    Crab claws

    Would be a completed trip to the coast without stopping in at Bahama Bobs. First thing ordered is always a round of Bushwackers and a floater . We love the Crab Claws. Indoor and Outdoor dining is available. Additional parking is across the street. The staff is always so friendly.

    This is my favorite po-boy restaurant! Every time I visit Gulf Shores I make sure to stop by here because they always deliver amazing food and service. They never skimp on packing their po-boys full of seafood to the point where some is falling of the bread (which I'm definitely not complaining about). The batter on the crawfish was perfectly crispy and had a hint of spice. We also ordered the crab claws which were absolutely delicious, and by far the best deal on them in the area. Our server occasionally checked in on us, and we were never left without something we needed. I'll be back next time I'm in town! It's a shame they built the condos in front of what was once a beach front restaurant, but the great vibes are still there!

    A wonderful place with a gorgeous view of the gulf! The steamed shrimp were delicious and had fabulous flavor. Our service was great and quick.

    Great food and service. We had steamed shrimp for an appetizer, they were well-seasoned. Split a bahama burger. Good Miami vice!

    Food and service were great! The spicy smoked tuna dip was delicious. It was conveniently located right next to our hotel.

First things first: parking. It's limited and easy to miss, so keep an eye out. The restaurant itself is cozy--only two tables inside plus a small bar. If you're coming with a group larger than four, the outdoor picnic tables are definitely your best bet. They offer $10 wine bottle specials, which we, of course, took full advantage of. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They moved us inside as soon as a table opened up--and that's exactly when an emergency occurred. A guest tripped on the stairs while leaving, and the team had to call an ambulance. Despite the situation, the staff stayed calm, efficient, and compassionate. They managed the emergency, continued serving guests, and our food still arrived promptly. The dishes were flavorful and authentic, portions were generous, and the prices were absolutely reasonable. We'll definitely be back.
