Stage is plenty big and to have the water close by makes it even better. Only complaint is if you are sitting in the middle areas, it is relatively flat so if people stand it is hard to see over them. There is one section that has a change of your view being somewhat obstructed so check your seating. Parking was easy. Leaving takes some time but not too bad.

It's best of both worlds, a pizza and a hamburger combined. Interesting combo I've ever had, but it works! Service was great.

We got there a little after 6 PM on a Sunday during Labor Day weekend, and even with how busy they were, they were able to seat our group of 29 people within about 20 minutes! The one thing I will say is parking is HORRIBLE. For a place this big, in such a busy tourist area, I definitely think they need to expand their parking situation. We ended up having to park across the street and pay for parking. Other than that, this place was really nice! It's right on the beach, they had a live band playing, and today they even had a foam party for the kids, which was such a fun plus! The atmosphere was definitely a vibe! The food was good, but SUPER pricey! I think you're definitely paying for the whole experience and atmosphere as well. Overall, we had a great time! If we come back to Gulf Shores, I would definitely come back here.

If you're looking for a place to just grab lunch...this is way more than that…read more We stopped by during the day expecting good food and beach vibes, but ended up getting a full-on show. At one point the staff broke out into a huge dance party right in the middle of the restaurant, getting kids, parents, and even a few reluctant dads standing on their chairs and joining the fun. It was one of those moments where you couldn't help but smile. Outside there's something for everyone--yard games, a foam party for the kids, bungee-style trampolines, beach access, and plenty of places to hang out (pun absolutely intended). I can only imagine how much fun this place is at night with live music. The nachos were piled ridiculously high and disappeared much faster than they should have. Service was upbeat, attentive, and clearly focused on making sure everyone was having a good time. Don't skip the gift shop either. We left with a couple of super cute T-shirts and can koozies to remember the trip. The Hangout isn't just somewhere to eat--it's somewhere to make vacation memories. I'd happily come back.

They have 2 options- shrimp/crab or chicken/sausage. I'll eat the sausage, but I'm not always the biggest fan of sausage, so the fact they have an option without is just perfect! This trip we also had the Key West bowl with blacked shrimp and also the peel and eat shrimp, with the chip sampler to start. Trips before we've also had the fish tacos, blackened grouper, and fried green tomatoes. They have great cocktails! I love the loopty Lu lemonade! Lots of things to do for the kids- outdoor games and an arcade room! WARNING! Their draft beer system was not working and our wait staff said it's been out all summer. Just as a FYI to those specifically coming for that vibe.

After brunch, we enjoyed walking through the nearby shops, which made for a perfect morning in Orange Beach. If you're looking for a great brunch with good food, beautiful waterfront views, and excellent service, Coastal is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back.
