Cheese Omelette, Hash Browns and Biscuit
Melba M.

Wonderful service and good food. The biscuit was fantastic! The cheese omelette was cheesy and good. This is a must try while in the area.

The ad for this place popped up in my social media and one look at the menu and I was hooked (dang algorithms ...). We got there a few minutes before they opened and there were already vehicles in the parking lot waiting. Since we were one of the first people there, I snapped a picture of the inside with no customers but it quickly filled up with what looked like local folks. Very cute place and fun decor. Both the hostess and our server were super friendly. My husband ordered the Riley Special, with scrambled eggs, bacon, and a waffle. I ordered the Creole Shrimp and Grit Cakes with a side of avocado slices. He loved the Riley, but maybe could have eaten a little more? He said it was probably enough for a normal person. The quality was great, though. My shrimp & grit cakes were outstanding: perfect sauce and a LOT of shrimp. I was surprised because I have had shrimp plates at other locations that barely have any shrimp at all. FYI though: the avocado slices were $3.50 when added as a side. The menu didn't really say (I don't think), so I was a little surprised. The rest of the menu looked so good, we're talking about going back for lunch one day!

mimosa flight

Service was really good! promptly seated and greeted ! we enjoyed the mimosa flight for starters. he had the creole omelette with hash brown casserole. the casserole was a bit dry but omelette was good with a nice cream sauce. i had the special omelette with feta, spinach and tomato. the restaurant was clean with outdoor benches available for seating while you wait. breakfast is served all day.

Scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns
Bailey B.

Last morning at the beach, fam wanted to do brunch before we rolled out and Duck's wound up being the call. Somewhat surprisingly, this was the only spot we had any meaningful trouble getting into all weekend; there was a 25 minute wait at around 11 AM on a Sunday. There's seating outside and a nice loud speaker so no worries about missing your name being called. They were true to form with the wait time, though (right at 25 min) and eventually we got all 9 of us seated. It's a little cramped inside and can get quite loud but the decorations are fun and kitschy. The highlight of the experience for me was the service; everyone we interacted with was incredibly pleasant and working hard and very efficiently. I ordered a breakfast platter that came with eggs, hash browns, bacon and a piece of French toast. Hubs got something somewhat similar -- don't remember what -- but sans French toast/pancake/waffle. I think my mother in law got chicken and waffles and my father in law got some type of steak or pork chop sandwich. That stands out because whatever it was he said he rarely saw it on menus despite loving it. I don't recall what the rest of the group got other than Sis-in-law and baby cousin got some kind of fancy cold brew drink and liked it. The food was fine but I thought mostly unremarkable. The sweet tea was good. My eggs were cooked nicely but my husband's were veryyyy oily and he didn't care for them at all. My bacon was fine but a little underdone for my preferences. I did enjoy my hash browns; nice and super crispy the way I like them. I added bananas to my French toast and really wish I hadn't. The bananas were some of the most unripe bananas I've ever eaten in my life -- hard, bland, almost sour. I scraped them off and just enjoyed the French toast instead. Overall, no huge complaints, but nothing to sing to the skies about either. Pleasant family atmosphere and simple, familiar food; the service was the best part for me! Not a bad option but wouldn't necessarily be my first choice in the future.

We had lunch here. My partner had a shrimp poboy that was good. I had a cowboy burger that was not really great. It was a little salty and the beef did not have a lot of flavor.

Little duck breakfast with sausage

Loved it here! It feels like your grandparents decided to convert their home into a diner. Lots of duck decorations! Tables are set up in the main house section and on the two enclosed porches. Bathrooms were clean! Waiters and waitresses were all helpful and attentive! So kind and even gave us suggestions on popular menu items. Banana stuffed French toast was delicious!! It tasted sort of like a cinnamon sugar donut with bananas and foster sauce. It was also topped with pecans. The biscuits were super fluffy and soft on the inside. Hash brown casserole was a favorite for the whole table. You'll see that some of the scrambled eggs were well done, but that was as requested. Best breakfast some of us had all week!

Shrimp and grits
Kelton C.

Great service and the shrimp and grits was the best I've ever had. The crispy fried grit cakes topped with that shrimp cream sauce is amazing!

Dustine D.

Came here all 3 days we were in town Nice little quaint place, wait staff is great. Food is obviously good! I'm in love with the yogurt parfait and even asked what yogurt they use, they didn't know so I'm super sad about that!!

Great breakfast but nothing out of the ordinary. Excellent service. Very expensive for a breakfast place, i.e., $6.95 for 3 pancakes.

Went there for lunch. Amazing experience all the way around. I will definitely be back for the food…read morethe atmosphere and the service and the beer selection. ATMOSPHERE Nothing too special about the atmosphere here. I just love that. It was nice clean open area with large windows and plenty of seating and easy to get around. The bar area look cool and the layout was nice. FOOD this is why you came here, right! All kinds of fish cooked all kinds of different ways. Delicious gumbo. Love that pimento cheese ball appetizer with that blueberry pepper jelly! For lunch, I had the meat and three. It was all good, especially the collard greens. SERVICE THIS WAS MAYBE SOME OF THE BEST SERVICE I HAD THE WHOLE TIME I WAS IN ORANGE BEACH THIS WEEKEND. OUR SERVER WAS SO AMAZING. I HATE THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME, BUT SHE WAS ON TOP OF IT AND SUPER DELIGHTFUL. DRINKS The bar area looked really nice. Most of my table had iced tea which everybody enjoyed. I also got a beer from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I was very impressed by their beer selection and they are a verified venue on the Untappd app so you can go to that app to look at all the beer selection and even filter and sort the beers so that you can have an easier time selecting the proper beverage. It even came out in a glass that matched the beer that I had! I like that extra touch.

They had a meat and three sides which is a southern thing. I chose the fresh catch. with side salad, boiled red potatoes, and greens. I had asked the server for the salad first. But it was brought with the meal. The salad was fresh and crisp, with a surprise of a small Peppa dew pepper. Blazing red with a little heat and delicious. Haven't seen them in a restaurant ever. Unfortunately my fish and potatoes were cold, cold and butter congealed. The greens were warm and good I had also ordered the cornbread. It was refreshing to see that it wasn't the usual cake like kind, plus not the ultra sweet kind either. More bread like with a hint of sweetness. Delicious. The fish and potatoes had a nice flavor but unfortunately the cold food spoiled the experience. Since I was a guest of my sister I didn't say anything about the cold food. What a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be better.

New to the area and having scoped out a few spots we opted to try out Dan's for a late B-fast early…read morelunch option in Silverhill. We had driven by Dan's in the past .. with the high reviews we wanted to put them on our bucket list. First things first, hours are bit unusual 10-3 but hey why not. We landed around 10:30 and the place was pretty quiet .. just another couple seated. First impressions were good, nice clean spot, 50's theme with like kind music. You order from the front register so we went about picking from their menu. A couple of things, one I noticed the cook was preparing off a couple gas like hot plates vs a griddle, a small concern initially. I opted for the Dinner B-fast eggs, hash browns pattie sausage and raisin toast. My partner went lunch focus with a Dinner burger & fries. The wait was short and our food arrived hot and ready to eat ! Here's the breakdown: Diner B-fast - a bit underwhelming to say the least. Eggs were cooked OK, the hashbrowns were a bit soggy and really greasy sad to say. The pattie sausage was thin and so salty it was hard to eat. The raisin toast was hard, dry and really crunchy. All in all - one of the less digestable b-fast plates since landing here 6 weeks ago. Diner Burger - our order taker missed the cheese we asked for so we ended up with a reg burger vs the cheese burger. The sandwich was good but came with a handful of seasoned fries which were OK but honestly hold the seasoning and just give the real deal. I must say our hopes and expectations were high based on past reviews and comments. Unfortunately this one crashed and burned. Now off the list - not a repeat for us sad to say.

Visiting Gulf Shores, AL? Nice seeing you... now go home!…read more LOL, I had to start out with that one. But seriously--whether you're a local or just visiting, you have to try Duck's Diner - Gulf Shores. It's a true local favorite, and it keeps getting busier now that the tourists have discovered it too. One of my personal favorites is the Creole Shrimp & Grits--a true classic packed with awesome flavor. They are definitely not skimpy on the sauce or the shrimp, so be ready because you're probably going to need a to-go box. More of a burger person? Heck yeah--the Cowboy Burger is always a strong favorite and a solid choice. Want a sandwich instead? Go with the Reuben on Rye. It's definitely a winner and never disappoints. Need something to drink? They've got you covered with everything from good coffee and sweet tea to a Screwdriver, which happens to be one of my favorites. Overall, you really can't go wrong stopping in here. Sometimes I almost wish y'all wouldn't because it gets so busy , but I'd hate for anyone to miss out on one of the best local spots around. If you stop in, tell them the local biker "1/2 Time" sent ya! I won't get anything for it, but at least they'll know I was true to my word and gave them the solid review I promised.

Always a great breakfast with amazing service. One of our favorites to go to. Old diner feel and so…read moremany different options for everyone
