Today we decided to eat at Captain D's in Foley, AL. We…read morealways have the tartar sauce with our seafood meals. My wife and myself go to the small bar to get some from the dispenser/pumper. The tartar sauce looked very old and gross looking. I told my wife i would not be eating that tartar sauce. She goes to the customer counter to see if they have tater in to go sealed cups and they did. While asking for them she told the lady up front that was taking orders that the tartar sauce in the dispenser pumper looked bad. The lady told her yeah i noticed it looked really separated when i filled it today. WTF!!!!! I mean hell fire! This sort of work ethic should never be acceptable. Period!!! Thank goodness for the sealed to -go cups of tarter sauce.

Living on the Gulf Coast there's an abundance of fresh seafood. I haven't been to a Captain D's in…read morenearly six years since moving here from TN where flounder was scarce, never mind grouper, triple tail, or triggerfish :-) Yesterday I wanted to get my British friend some fish & chips for a gathering and this fairly newly Captain D's was close by and thought, why not? I was impressed with the friendly and accommodating staff and also that they are cooking the fish to order. While they advertise that they prioritize sustainable sourcing, particularly for wild-caught fish like cod, pollock, and salmon, and avoid processed fish products, focusing on whole fillets to maintain natural flakiness and quality. However they do offer farm-raised tilapia and catfish, which is in my no-go list but they do offer crab that's sourced from various US coasts, and clams harvested off the Northeast US coast, for breaded clam strips. I tried the fish & chips that I purchased and it wasn't that bad, but fresh is impossible to beat. I won't become a regular, for sure, with the abundance of fresh fish locally but it's a nice location with friendly staff and quick service.

Staff was friendly but no one greets you when you walk in. All tables were full when we got there…read moreso we just sat down in the waiting area, wait staff just asked who was next when a table came up cleaned. They seemed like they wanted to rush us and definitely understaffed. A table actually walked out and canceled their order while we were there as they said it was as terrible diner not ugly. They just didn't get a good vibe and I agree with it. Waiter was super nice though and doing his best. Food was good. Not sure if I'll go back or not. I think their prices are right. Lunch menu looks good. Just hung up on trying again.

Some friends recommended it so we stopped by while in the area. We had a slight wait since there aren't many tables, which wasn't a problem. I ordered the veggie omelette which comes with the home potatoes. It was wonderful. Personally, I think it could have used a bit of cracked pepper mixed in with the veggies but still great. My husband ordered the peach cobbler French toast which was good too. We got there a little later, as they close at noon. So they were sold out of the regular French toast bread. They offered it with wheat bread instead, which worked out well too. There was one lady managing all the tables who was very efficient. We will be back the next time we are in the area. I would recommend arriving by mid morning since they close at 12pm. If you are in the area, don't miss going to The Ugly Diner.

Would love to review the food, but our party of 11 was told to leave after an hour and a half wait…read morebecause one of the hostesses thought she overheard a member of our party being rude to her. She was not, the hostess was mistaken. The "manager" backed up her employee and we were told that we would not be served - after an hour and a half. I respect a manager backing up their employee, but there is a much larger theme here and Cobalt clearly dropped the ball. The lobby area was completely packed and loud, the manager was ENTIRELY disinterested in anything we had to say and didn't care at all that we had been waiting an hour and a half. Cobalt clearly doesn't give a crap whether or not you come back or leave a bad review. The local restaurant choices for large parties are limited, and Cobalt is so busy they apparently don't need to worry about customer service. We won't be back, and I strongly suggest that anyone with a large party avoid Cobalt.

While down in the Gulf Shores, we stopped by this place and were not disappointed! We got there…read morefor an early evening supper and we were glad we did because it filled up fast! We sat what was considered "outside" which at the time they had awnings down. So it was comfortable. Our server was awesome, super nice and very attentive. Never had to wait long. We never had to wait long for our food either. We had hush puppies for an appetizer, which were good. Husband had breaded shrimp. Which were nicely light and breaded. I had the Steamed Island Combo with crab legs, and deep-water reds which I have never had before until then and they were delicious! And HUGE! You cannot quite tell by my picture, but there were a ton of them under all of that. Highly recommend recommended it. I would definitely go back there!

The food is delicious and cooked to perfection -- everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. It's a great kid- and family-friendly venue with lots to do. There's live music, karaoke, and even a mini beach or sandy play area for kids. I love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor space is perfect for family fun. The location is convenient with plenty of parking, a little off the beaten path from the main beach, but totally worth it. We can't wait to go back next year and will definitely make Tacky Jack's a regular stop for lunch and dinner on vacation!

We decided to leave but the manager Gabe managed to convince us to stay offering to comp our dinners. While we could've really taken advantage of this offer, we ordered as we normally would. No apps, no desserts, nothing extra. Just 4 entrees and we were good. This gesture was above and beyond and I commend him making it right and that's what got this to 3 stars. The food was mid at best. The fried shrimp was lukewarm when served, the lobster roll was more bread than anything, and the pork chop was tough - overcooked. My whole Moroccan fish was ok - but the waiter failed to ask what side I wanted and just served it with mashed potatoes. Had he asked I would've chosen rice. We already felt we were accommodated so we didn't want to bring any more things up. It's a cool spot and I'm sure there are challenges on a regular basis. It was just an ok experience for us.
