First things first: parking. It's limited and easy to miss, so keep an eye out. The restaurant itself is cozy--only two tables inside plus a small bar. If you're coming with a group larger than four, the outdoor picnic tables are definitely your best bet. They offer $10 wine bottle specials, which we, of course, took full advantage of. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They moved us inside as soon as a table opened up--and that's exactly when an emergency occurred. A guest tripped on the stairs while leaving, and the team had to call an ambulance. Despite the situation, the staff stayed calm, efficient, and compassionate. They managed the emergency, continued serving guests, and our food still arrived promptly. The dishes were flavorful and authentic, portions were generous, and the prices were absolutely reasonable. We'll definitely be back.

They have baked goods, but we were told there is no way to heat it up... inspite of a sign saying we serve cinnamon rolls hot. How is that? Parking to go to the coffee shop if you aren't living at the lodge is a tricky situation. The lobby seating to the Lodge is beautiful and the view from the lobby is worthwhile, so if you want to experience this without paying $600 a night to stay at the Lodge, it's worth overspending on some bad coffee, but otherwise any other coffee shop will be a better pick.

I do suggest you make a reservation, because depending on the time and day, it can get packed. Perch is upstairs with indoor and outdoor seating. It also has a bar inside with TVs. We actually sat outside, but I did notice they only had one bartender and while she was very busy, she worked her tail off to get those drinks out. For my appetizer, I ordered the lobster bisque. Although it was creamy and pretty good, it did not have enough lobster in it, especially based on the price. For dinner, I ordered the seared gulf fish, which came with corn and crab chowder and some potatoes. I also added a side of grilled shrimp. This dish was really good! It was served hot and the fish and shrimp were fresh and well seasoned. Unfortunately I can't remember our waiter, but he was super nice and patient and gave us some great suggestions. I would definitely come back and visit Perch again.

The food is delicious and cooked to perfection -- everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. It's a great kid- and family-friendly venue with lots to do. There's live music, karaoke, and even a mini beach or sandy play area for kids. I love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor space is perfect for family fun. The location is convenient with plenty of parking, a little off the beaten path from the main beach, but totally worth it. We can't wait to go back next year and will definitely make Tacky Jack's a regular stop for lunch and dinner on vacation!

Chef Jon Kastner (yes, the same culinary genius formerly at Anchor Bar & Grill and Southern Chili Lab) is working magic in the kitchen here. Every dish was creative, flavorful, and beautifully executed. We started with the boiled peanut hummus--a bold, Southern twist that somehow tasted like comfort and innovation all at once. The pickled collards (and other veggies) on top perfectly complemented the smooth hummus. The wings were crisp, juicy, so flavorful, and the Alabama white BBQ sauce was downright addictive. I seriously could eat that sauce on everything. We couldn't resist trying a couple of other wing sauces, too, and every one was a win. The fried green tomato salad was another standout--fresh, tangy, and just the right balance of crispy and creamy. From start to finish, the food was elevated but not fussy--exactly the kind of place you want to linger with friends, savoring every bite. Whether you're here to play or just to eat, Tee Off is officially on our must-visit list.

A food runner will bring your food to the table but no one will remove dirty dishes or glasses from your table. NOW THEY ARE ADDING A (taxable) MANDATORY 20% "SERVICE FEE/GRATUITY" TO YOUR TOTAL BILL. This is absolute nonsense. The customer does 90% of the work and we are supposed to pay a 20% tip! A 20% tip should be for good and complete table service. I sent them an email through their website and called twice to speak to a manager regarding this issue and no one bothered to reach back out to me. This is a terrible policy and our party of 4 (who live here locally) will never return to this establishment.

Walking in to the store with my husband and 2 kids and the cashier repeatedly said no kids so we walked out and I walk back in and told the cashier you should put a no kid sign up. (This is a TOURIST location) and she got her manager who was not asked for. I left my kids outside with my husband and went back in for DR PEPPERS! And manager comes over. White male long hair and beard about 6'1 said what's the problem I said nothing and he said why am I angry because I couldn't bring my kids in. I then replied no because I didn't know and that it was no big deal I'm here without them now to purchase the dr peppers y'all should put up a sign and he replied with a "why? It's fucking Alabama it's the fucking law" i then proceeded with an attitude because of the left turn he took speaking to me. Left without the dr.peppers and hope he doesn't speak to anyone like that again! When I tell you worst service I mean WORST service!! I can not believe he just cussed like that. Again, no problem with leaving my kids outside, but this is a tourist area so don't be so darn ugly and use cuss words when this is not just AL this is the beach area people come from all over and might not know this law applies. They have all those law signs up and they can't simply put one up for no kids allows ? ‍ Don't waste your time or energy people ! You'll only get cussed at
