    First let me say how disappointed I am in myself for not eating here sooner. I am ashamed to admit…read morethat I have live Mobile for 15 years, and have driven past here countless times. But, better late than never. This place checks all the blocks, local, diner, truck stop, large portions, farm to table ground beef and amazing flavor. Portions are big enough for any appetite. The staff are very friendly, smiling, looking you in the eye and genuinely glad you came in. The real surprise is how clean and inviting the restaurant is. Having eaten at a number of truck stops, this is no ordinary stop. If you haven't been here you need to come in and try it. The Indian tacos are fantastic.

    "What's for dinner?" is the usual question and this evening, it was complicated by having driven 7…read morehours and we were both tired. I asked Yelp for something and this diner was the recommendation. We arrived at around 6:45pm and were warmly welcomed. The waitress took our orders and about 15 minutes later, dinner arrived. a "Cowboy burger" for me with fries and French toast with bananas for Mrs. K. Delicious, prepared well and plenty of it. I'd say the only ding is that the burger was cooked a bit too much for my personal taste - we weren't asked for a temperature and I should have asked. But the fries were fresh as was the French toast. I'd stop here again. It was a very good diner. [Review 302 of 2026 - 283 in Alabama - 25490 overall]

    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.

We flew into Destin from Fort Worth, TX in March and came back this weekend just to eat here and enjoy the beautiful beaches. They have the best margaritas we've had... be careful, they will sneak up on you! We've had fajitas, soft tacos and burritos here. They do not disappoint!

    We chose to eat here by default because it is close to the hotel and we had spent all day at Urban…read moreAdventures so I didn't want another adventure trying to find a place to eat. I'm always leery about Mexican food - it tends to be heavier than I would like and I often just assume it might be low quality. Because of that pre-disposition, its not very often that a Mexican restaurant impresses me but this one certainly did. First off, my husband and I ordered margaritas and when they asked if we wanted small, medium or large we were like - "um...large". Holy cow, are they ever! We should have actually shared one because these things are huge! We each only finished half and they gave us to go cups for the remainder - popped them in the freezer and finishing them off tonight. And not only are they ginormous, but also delicious. A nice amount of tequila and good flavor! For food, we ordered steak fajitas - very good, thought I would have appreciated some guacamole with it. Tacos Birra - second or third time for my husband having these here because he likes them so dang much. And a 3 item combo with 2 soft shell corn tacos and a chile rellano. They were kind enough to allow my son to go slightly off menu with a carnitas taco instead of the basic ground beef or chicken and he very much liked it. My chile rellano was quite good as well. And since the chips and salsa always matter to my husband - we also enjoyed these throughout our meal. In fact, I even liked the salsa and don't usually eat it.
