It is casual, comfortable, and fun without trying too hard. Whether you are stopping in for a drink, grabbing a bite, watching a game, or meeting up with friends, The Cove is a great choice. The staff makes you feel welcome, and the whole place has that easygoing beach-town energy that makes Gulf Shores special. Great local spot, great atmosphere, and definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a laid-back place to eat, drink, and enjoy some great music. Make sure you go for Karaoke win Cindy and Jimmy!

The food was so flavorful and original. We had the wings, and they were charred to perfection with the perfect amount of siracha honey sauce. Other people in our party had the stuffed avocado and shrimp wraps, and both said they were great! Our server was super friendly and informative. She did a fantastic job at making sure we were accommodated during our meal. If we're in the area again, we'll be sure to be back!

My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.

The portions don't look big in these pictures, but I got 10 shrimp in my coconut shrimp basket plus many many fries, so it's definitely a good amount! Allergy wise, they have GF marked on their menu for certain items, including fries, so make sure you tell them gluten free .... for whatever you want to order to make sure they ensure it's GF!

This spot has a laid-back, fun atmosphere with outdoor games and plenty of picnic tables, making it perfect for hanging out. The setup is super easy: order at the counter, grab a table, and relax. There's also a small corner with merchandise for sale, which adds a nice touch. We ended up sitting at the bar and ordered the Parmesan bacon truffle fries... and wow. They were so good I immediately regretted not being hungrier. I was seriously tempted to order more just to try other items on the menu. We also shared the rainbow flight and had the picnic margarita--everything we tried was fantastic. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Parking is a bit limited, with a small lot in the back and some street parking if you're lucky--but it's definitely worth the effort. Next time, I'm coming hungry and staying for a full meal.

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!

My wife has a death allergic reaction to onions and because of cross contamination in the kitchen she was exposed to onions. Regardless of how busy the diner is, the cooks need to take their time to ensure this doesn't happen. Why didn't I speak to the staff? Guests with allergies need to read this and that takes precedent over speaking to a manager who may or not only provide lip service about seeing how this won't hapoen again.

However, we unfortunately weren't impressed with the flavor. Presentation wise, very fun and cute. The mermaid tail was presented with everything I got except I didn't get the mermaid tail gummy/charm on my sundae, a bit odd haha. The mermaid tail was $8 but really it was beautiful! The vanilla ice cream however, was not great. It tasted like imitation vanilla, like vanilla extract. Not a fan at all. My husband got a milkshake with m&ms and gummy worms. Mix ins were great... but the ice cream again was just OFF. It didn't taste like a normal chocolate ice cream and we couldn't figure out what was off but something was. This is how much of our items we decided to go ahead and toss due to flavor just not being what we expected. I think this is a fun place for kids and a fun experience, but I don't think I'd go back just because of the flavors

Since its establishment earlier this year Milkshake Momma is fast becoming a favorite spot for locals and tourists with their comfort food, unique atmosphere, and over-the-top milkshakes. Founded in Ladonia, Alabama, as part of the Southern Roots Country Store, Milkshake Momma has quickly gained popularity for its delicious comfort food, over-the-top milkshakes, and lively atmosphere. The restaurant's was founded by a group of friends who wanted to create a place where people of all ages could enjoy delicious treats and create fun memories.  While Milkshake Momma currently only has one location in Orange Beach, AL, the restaurant is now offering franchise opportunities to interested entrepreneurs.

Their food menu also boasts a variety of tasty options, such as burgers, hot dogs, salads, and funky fries. I've got my eye, for my next visit, on the Outlaw Chili Dog which is a hot dog, topped with mustard, house-made chili, onions, slaw, and pickles, it sounds delish. Also when I'm not being my regularly cheery self I'm coming back for a Cheer Up Buttercup, which has a  Peanut Butter Rim, Vanilla Milkshake or Sundae, Topped with Slice of Cheese Cake, Reese Cups, Reese Pieces, Pretzels Carmel and Whipped Topping, that sounds cheery :-)  I had my first Pistol Pete shake that was quite  enjoyable, and by the way they use Blue Bell Ice Cream here, and I do like their stuff.  Bottom line: Milkshake Momma Burgers and Shakes offers a fun dining experience with its unique atmosphere, delicious comfort food, and over-the-top milkshakes.
