    Fish & Chips
    Ellie F.

    Let me start by saying that our server was great - he was very friendly and helpful. However, I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. This place is a sports bar, so maybe I set my expectations too high, but I wasn't pleased with my meal. I ordered the fish and chips and the fish came out way overcooked and not very flavorful. I'm sure this place is a great option to grab a beer and watch a game, but for food, it wouldn't be a go-to for me.

    The wings were just OK. Fries were good.

    Ambience was very fun. The service was great. The food was very good. My wife had boneless wings and she said they were just OK.

    Always a good time when I go here! Great for football games, fast service, clean and always ready for Christmas! You can't go here without the table side nachos to share with the table!

    Groovy Goat is a restaurant located in Foley, Alabama. (I'm pretty sure I've seen other locations.) The atmosphere is lively and fun, with a great selection of craft beers on tap. The food is decent and there are lots of options for everyone, from pizza to burgers to seafood. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for an okay experience overall. If you're looking for a great spot to enjoy food, drinks, and company, Groovy Goat is definitely worth a visit. Oh and if you're looking for someplace to watch a game or other event, this is a great spot. There were lots of TVs with great views.

    Did a day at Tropic Falls and had some food and drinks here. Chips and Queso, pickle fry up with pickles/jalapeños/pablanos and a southern Ruben and onion rings. Everything was EXCELLENT for bar food! The queso was chunky. Fried poblanos are my new jam and the southern Ruben with corned beef, Cole slaw, and jalapeño roulade was FANTASIC! We'll be back

    This place is often busting at the seams overcrowded as it seems to be the most popular spot to eat and drink in the OWA park. Usually I would just sit at the bar in a place like this but the bar is often slam packed during football season. The wait to be seated can be quite long during more crowded times. This is a great compromise spot for kids to play Chuck E. Cheese style games at while parents get to have a sports bar to drink at while they watch the game but that comes at a bit of premium as the food and drinks are more expensive than many other spots in the area. The wings and burgers seem to be the specialties of the house here so those would probably be the items to focus your hunger on here. Overall if you are in the OWA area this seems to be the most popular game in OWA downtown but more restaurants have opened so the competition has reduced the really bad crowds that used to often be here. This place definitely has potential to be quite groovy... My video review of Groovy Goat is here: https://youtu.be/_MlXeDgvjnM

    Hichamr saved my bad day and turned it around while hanging out in foley at Owa today. We arrived at owa around 10 and spent some time riding rides and then headed to murder creek where we had the most rudest /aggressive (check their yelp) bartenders I've ever had in my life. Anyway, we left there and decided to try groovy goat where we were instantly greeted by Hichamr and he had no idea what kind of ordeal we just went through but was literally the biggest breath of fresh air in all of Owa. Highly recommend his margarita. Highly recommend this atmosphere at the groovy goat over any other restaurants here we've tried! Y'all have a diamond in the ruff and your business will succeed with him here! All the customers are so happy here and well taken care of ! Being in the service industry/management for years , I just know yall got a good thing going on and I appreciate it so much! Thanks for turning around our Sunday! Today was special to us and we needed the turn around.

    Not a good sandwich

    There's a lot of folks that speak very highly of this place but I'm not one of them. I was NOT impressed with anything here, other than the number of TV's. Indeed the crazy number of big screen TV's wrapping around the whole place is impressive but that sadly is the only thing that impressed me. The place is dark, a bit grungy and it's crowded a lot. But this night was an average crowd and they had been pushing the indoor Christmas light show and #1 son was psyched to check it out. The service was very slow, the food was mediocre, art best and then the light show wasn't working, so essentially a bust. We had a Philly cheesesteak fail, a Reuben, fail and a fish and chips, seriously fail. I would not order any of these again, just fail. Bottom line: I may give then another shot, but probably not.

    Our amazing waitress! Katlyn

    Our family of 6 came out to watch a friend play music at The Groovy Goat tonight and can I say I was so impressed! We sat outside so we could watch our friend play. Our waitress Katlyn greeted us right away and took our drink orders and returned with all drinks promptly. I ordered the blue Long Island(not a fan but I should have known better because I do not like sweet) my Bestfriend had the strawberry daiquiri and she loved it, my husbands beer was perfect and the kids all loved their sodas obviously. We then ordered a bunch of appetizers and our waitress Katlyn waited patiently and answered all of our questions while we ordered. We ordered the fried broccoli cheesy bites(my FAVORITE), cheesy curds(super yummy), fried pickles which came with fried jalapeños and peppers(delicious) and the table side nachos. Everything was so good but the table side nachos were a huge hit! Katlyn came to our table with a cart and prepped them in front of us and made them exactly how we asked and omg they were huge! Katlyn kept the kids drinks and our waters full, she was very attentive and so friendly. We had a wonderful night. Overall the food was great and the atmosphere was perfect for a family but Katlyn provided such great service! We will be back for sure! Thanks for the awesome service!

I'm like who's they? She kept staring at my with an evil eye necklace. She asked me for my name and walked away. She went to sit down with the guy with the blue shirt. As if I don't understand what you're doing with your spirit. Im blessed to have god on my side. I don't accept negative energy. A heavy set man came up talking to me throwing racial comments as if I was a fool and didn't understand. I told him we don't speak Spanish and he kept going, proceeded to tell my husband I've never seen a PBR shirt. Sir, maybe you should get some new clothes! I didn't feel safe at all. I understand im from out of town but you can't just come up to someone you don't know start pretending like you're funny as I catch your racism. I might not be as nice as I was giving bc I'm not in my town and I was trying to respect. I've NEVER felt so uncomfortable in a hole in a bar til this day. When I tell you I travel and support bars in different states and cities. I love it. This had to be the worse experience. As we walked out I see all the man walk up to eating me alive. As if they've never seen a women before. I understand my body type is not the usual and my race. Someone yelled out gracias. Get with the times! Yall are a mixed crowed and racist. It's giving mental issues not to even mentioned alcoholic.

We got here mid-afternoon on a weekday so as expected it wasn't very busy which was great for us since we had plenty of time to meet the staff and owner and got a little history of this establishment and of course partake in some delicious german cuisine and for me a taste of the ice cold german beers on tap. This is a beautiful venue and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. I'm definitely not an axe thrower but I do have a palette for delicious german food and I'm definitely a self-proclaimed expert beer drinker. After spending some time in Germany I developed a love for German Beer so I wasn't going to waste this opportunity to enjoy a few of my favorites, the BitBurger Pilsner and Hofbrau Dunkel Lager which never disappoints - The menu is filled with authentic offerings that made choosing a little difficult for me I wanted a taste of everything. We started with an amazing pretzel and bier cheese soooo yummy and so big there's plenty to share, we also ordered the Rueben and Brat with fried potatoes everything was perfectly executed so my hats off to the kitchen. This was a wonderful experience, a very comfortable setting and great conversation with everyone that makes this place great, we can't wait to return on our next trip to the area and I've already discussed with Barrett that we'll have a toast with a few cold ones then - I can't wait, you definitely need to bookmark this one...

Their tap list made this German bier drinker very happy! I ordered the Jägerschnitzel. The food came out promptly. The portion was just fine. The plate was full with a proper looking schnitzel, perfectly browned potatoes, and sauerkraut. The thinly breaded cutlet of schnitzel was pan fried perfectly, of good quality, and flavorful, covered with a tasty mushroom brown sauce. The potatoes were fried perfectly with just the right salt and butteriness. Now the sauerkraut... that is some good homemade kraut! No joke! If you aren't a fan of sauerkraut, you will be after this. I am first generation German. I go to German often. I know how German cuisine should taste. So.....The chef is doing good work. I look forward to try other things on the menu. As for ambiance..... This is not a normal German looking restaurant on the inside or outside. Don't let the strip mall style exterior or the axe throwing sports bar interior stop you from enjoying this place. I have looked around the Foley/Gulf Shores area for a German style restaurant and bar. This is it for me.

    So I'm really not a fan of chain joints so I avoid them like the plague on average. My friends I…read morecome to Foley, AL to visit often eat at this Buffalo Wild Wings on a nearly daily basis. I did discover that Buffalo Wild Wings does fry their food in tallow which is a fantastic thing I am a big fan of. So then we start to run into problems here as the service is constantly lacking and VERY slow with really simple things like getting a straw or drink refill taking forever. This restaurant ALWAYS seems jam packed and understaffed. My order is constantly done wrong here although they usually have been VERY good at making it up to me. I also really appreciate they offer a decent veterans discount here. The other huge draw to this place is they serve food later than most of the other spots in the area. The ambiance here is mostly sports bar with a side of way too many people and far too few employees. My largest overall complaint about this spot is they don't have mustard in a squeeze bottle but they do have a squeeze bottle of ketchup. How can a place like Buffalo Wild Wings with their huge variety of sauces not have a basic condiment like mustard? Well actually they do have mustard but only in those teeny tiny little crappy plastic packets that utterly suck ass. You see I'm 1000% on team mustard and I literally despise ketchup, catchup and all other versions of that horrid red concoction. I like plain yellow mustard, creole mustard, spicy mustard, horseradish mustard, German mustard and all manner of other mustards but I don't want a honey mustard or other sweet mustard so I'm utterly confused at the lack of mustard options at this huge national chain? How can you have a big squeeze bottle of ketchup but no squeeze bottle of mustard as that is utterly barbaric! My last visit here I walked into a HUGE brawl going on which seemed to be a bunch of Bama fans fighting with other Bama fans... so that was interesting to say the least... The Yankee bartender then utterly amazed me with some special magic by yelling out "War Tide" which fried all the Bama fans brains and totally stopped the fight. I've since tried that out on some unsuspecting Bama fans with fantastic results in freezing their brains. So all the ongoing issues, other than the brawler Bama fans, are VERY fixable and just seem like they are EXTREMELY easy ways to get far better results. Maybe just have straws sitting out where anybody can grab one. Maybe have self-serve iced tea and soft drink dispensers (which the beer will still be slow to come out but maybe if servers and bartenders ONLY have to deal with the adult beverages they will move faster than the current situation! For God's sake just put BOTH mustard and ketchup on EVERY table and on the bar as has been the LONG standing custom and tradition of these United States of America! What kind of commie BS is ONLY having nasty ketchup on the table going to teach the future generations of this nation? This mustard issue isn't just at Buffalo Wild Wings as I've been a witness to this cultural degradation at multiple spots in Alabama now. So to all those naughty evil people doing this desecration of the sacred traditions of the USA take a fair warning to NEVER, EVER make me have to eat my burger & fries without a huge squeeze bottle of yellow mustard and extra bonus points for several creole mustard bottles as well! You can buy the creole mustard at Rouse's so go ahead and order a case of it now... So Roll Eagle and War Tide!

One of the standout touches is the little shop inside, filled with all kinds of great finds--soaps, mists, lotions, and even kitchen accessories.

Everything came out correctly and fairly close together, which is no small feat with a group our size. I ordered the mahi sandwich, and it was delicious. The bun was perfectly buttered, and the fish itself was flavorful and well-prepared. They also offer a salad bar if you're looking for something lighter.
