My appreciation of Clam Strips goes back to my childhood and dinner at the local Howard Johnson's…read moreon Friday night. Yes, that is a longtime ago. Anyway, the best place that I have found to rekindle those memories and enjoy a simple meal of Clam Strips is Gulf Shores. I can order them as a meal with two sides and they also offer them as an appetizer. If I just want a light lunch, after shopping near by, the appetizer hits the spot. When I order the dinner, my sides are always Hush Puppies and Fries. Yes, it makes my meal all fried foods, but it is so damn good. My service has always been attentive and friendly. Just in case you did not know, this business is locally and black owned. So get out and support this business.

We will be going back if we are back in that area…read more There is plenty of parking in the lots around the restaurant. We made reservations ahead of time and were seated right away when we arrived. The waitress was great. They bring out a herb bread with butter. We ordered the bone marrow and crab cakes to start off. Both were good. Caesar salad was also good. Do not order the french onion soup. It was the worst we have ever eaten. It was basically perfectly clean bowl with a light brown liquid and dried up croutons and tried to melt a cheese in it. Tasted horrible and was not hot/warm. Okay now back to the good. Steaks were fabulous - top 10 for sure. Lobster tail was good and the asparagus was cooked perfect. Dessert was good but the creme brûlée was in a really shallow dish. Wish the dish was bigger/deeper. There was some kind of peanut butter chocolate dessert that was phenomenal- yummy! The inside was nice and not too loud. We will definitely go back minus the soup.

I also loved the atmosphere, upscale food without feeling stuffy or pretentious. It felt like the kind of place you could walk into dressed casually and still enjoy an amazing dining experience. From the moment we sat down, our waitress was fantastic. Since it was our first time visiting, we were welcomed with complimentary deviled eggs, which were absolutely delicious. And the cocktails? Perfectly crafted and easily some of the best we've had in a while. We're already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for helping make our anniversary feel so special!

It's one of a very few places in the area that isn't a chain, isn't just burgers and pizza, and also isn't pretentious or overpriced. The service is always friendly and knowledgeable. We've been there at least ten times and only once was the service slow. It was an anomaly because they're usually really on top of things. Ambiance is a friendly, but upscaled downtown cafe/bar place that is perfect for taking out-of-towners or a fun brunch with the ladies. (They have a separate brunch menu on Saturdays!) I don't drink, so I can't comment on their drink selections. I'm taking away a star because the parking situation is annoying, especially during construction. There is street parking or a huge parking lot in the back. However, the back parking lot is a terrible hodgepodge of concrete and asphalt and a gazillion potholes and no super clear direction on how to get to the restaurant. Some signage would go a long way in helping customers to not only find parking, but once parked, to them navigate back to the little crevice where the back door is located. The back porch is located behind a larger portion of the structure and you can't see it from the parking lot. Additionally, if you have anyone in your party with mobility issues, it's next-to-impossible to park near enough to the door to make a difference. The handicapped parking spots are 40 yards away from the back door. All that said, we will def go back because there's nothing else like it in the area.

However there was nothing better than the beautiful art work to come. The food presentation was excellent. The garlic cheesebread is to die for. The Cajun chicken pasta was delicious. The salad was good Customer service was amazing. I know there were other customers but our server made us feel like we were the only customers in the place. Before I could think of asking for something she was bringing it. She kept our drinks filled. She asked if we wanted parmesean cheese on our salads and pasta. These put the cheese on our food. We were going to ask for some to go boxes. But she asked us first. Then she said she would take our food and box it for us. She labeled each one and neatly wrapped it in clear plastic. Most restaurants don't do that anymore. Very classy! There is plenty if parking in this strip mall.

At my most recent visit, I did two things that I have never done at Moussalli's. First, I sat at…read moretable instead of the bar and second thing is that I did not order a steak. It was a special night, a group of foodie friends got together after not seeing each other for a while. It was a group of 11 and the accommodations and service couldn't have been better. Our server was extremely professional and didn't mind that it was 6 different checks. As our server was telling us the Daily Specials and the Catch of the Day, I immediately knew what I wanted. Whenever I hear, Pan Seared Sea Scallops or anything with Scallops, I'm sold. My scallops (4) were huge and the Risotto that they were served on was moist and flavorful. I also learned that they offer half bottles of wine and one of them is my favorite. I love, Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm probably going to wine hell because I paired it with my seafood instead of a white wine. Also, I want to give a shout out for their, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. I've been known to stop by and have them and a Martini and call it a meal. When: February 19, 2026 Why: Meeting up with friends

They did offer to move us when a table opened up but there were others waiting too so we stayed at the bar. Service was good, especially given how busy they were with two servers. Spicy crab Rangoon (looked like an egg roll) was delicious! My husband claimed it didn't need the sweet chili sauce but I enjoyed it! I got the Spicy Strawberry Mushroom plate - crispy shittake mushrooms with slightly sweet sauce and peanuts served with white rice. So good!!!! The strawberry made it slightly sweet but not overly sweet! Spice was like a general Tso - nice little heat but won't burn your face off. Hubby got the spicy pork bulgogi and it was so good! He was able to hold back (he at some of mine for the record) and had enough to take home for a small dinner. Cute little place, was a little chilly due to how often the door opened for door dash and people coming and going, but as busy as it was, the service and food were great! Will be back to try other things as well!

We came in super late, right before closing, but she still sat us and gave us excellent service. We ended up getting take out because we had realized there weren't enough gluten free options for one of the people of our party. The waitress talked with us for a while about the gluten free options at the restaurant, gave us the gluten free menu, and walked us through why certain things should be avoided since it was a gluten allergy. She was so nice and knowledgeable. The place was clean. Very cute but lowkey! I would go back at a better time and eat there for sure!

One server asked if we had eaten at Tres Caminos in Caseyville. He said they are the same company. It is also a favorite, but Palenque is bigger and has a side Margarita Bar!
