Came here as a recommendation from a friend. After spending close to $30 a dozen for oysters a two…read moredifferent places it was quite a surprise to find out these were $1 each all day everyday. Don't skip on the Mignonette sauce either. My new favorite way to eat oysters. Wife had the fried shrimp ($12.00 happy hour) and it was good as well. I was happy with the $1 oysters then I saw the happy hour prices for drinks and that was icing on the cake. We sat at the bar and didn't venture to the other side of the restaurant. Seemed to have a good mix of locals when we were there. To be honest, for oysters and fried shrimp it's going to be hard to beat. We loved it and definitely will be back.

We came here for dinner after reading several great reviews, but unfortunately left feeling a bit…read moredisappointed. We started with a cocktail and the spicy blue crab dip, both of which were excellent and a great way to begin the meal. We also ordered the meat and cheese board, which was decent but felt fairly basic for the price. The cheese and jalapeño focaccia was flavorful and enjoyable as well. For the main course, I ordered the New York strip with crab cakes. The steak was cooked properly but lacked seasoning and flavor, requiring quite a bit of salt. The crab cakes were also underwhelming and not something I would order again. My stepson ordered the kids' Alfredo, which tasted more like plain macaroni and ended up being so bland that he barely ate it. My husband had the bacon BBQ shrimp and enjoyed it, although I found it a little too sweet for my taste. Considering the overall quality of the food, the meal did not feel worth the price we paid. That said, our server was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has a fun atmosphere. They also offer live music on certain nights, which adds to the experience. Overall, while there were a few highlights, the food didn't quite live up to our expectations.

Weather permitting, it's usually a great afternoon sampling beers from all over the Southeast, as well as a few from all over the globe. If you can keep your cool in the hot Coastal weather, you'll have a great time mingling with home brewers, beer advocates and lushes while you sip on everything from American-style pilsners to Belgian trippels. There's even food and live music. If you're nice, you can pick up some great free schwag from the brewers, too.

I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26

Our server, Michael was absolutely wonderful. (Plus he has amazing hair!) Anyway, we started with my Smoked Old Fashioned (It was ok, bartender went a little heavy on the bitters, and I should've asked for Bulleit Rye but that was my bad.) Anyway, Honey got a Black and Blue. Both came out super quick and we were instantly refreshed. We chose to sit in the patio bc the weather was nice and not too hot or cold. It was just right. We started with the ColCannon Boxty Appetizer. It is small balls of shredded potatoes that are fried, and come with a delish aioli dipping sauce. We chose to split the Shepherds pie for our main course. The meat gave me meat loaf vibes but with a ground beef texture and a unique aftertaste.. It was good, just the texture is unique! It came with a small portion of the Brown Bread with Garlic butter. It was good! We asked for more Garlic butter. It was delicious! We would've ordered a Creme Brûlée but we were both stuffed. It was overall a great place and we will visit it again. A must visit if you are in Orange Beach!

We decided to try The Galway for dinner one night during our short time at Gulf Shores. It was a…read morechoice we were overall quite happy with! Coming for dinner on a Friday night, we were definitely concerned about getting a spot to eat. Parking is definitely limited, but we were pleased to find there was no way for a table outside. The weather was lovely and the music piped outside (often featuring Irish artists such as one of my favorites, Hozier!) made the whole atmosphere perfect. The inside is cute (albeit dim) and fulfills the pub fantasy. The ladies' restroom was clean. Our waitress was cheerful and fun. It took a little while for her to come get our drink order but after that she was johnny on the spot. The other waitstaff was friendly and professional too. My parents split the fish and chips, I got the chicken pot pie, and we split a side of colcannon. The sweet tea I had to drink was a little on the unsweet side for me, but I often find that's the case at restaurants on the gulf...further evidence that Florida/the gulf area is fundamentally different from the rest of the Deep South. Lol. My parents definitely enjoyed the fish and chips overall. I think my dad was hoping for a little more salt/seasoning in the fish breading but my mom was VERY pleased with hers. I'd never had colcannon before and thought what we got was just alright, figuring it wasn't really for me. My mom, who's tried it a few times different places, said she'd had a lot better. It had a pretty strong beer taste from the gravy on top. I'd be curious to try it again somewhere else and see how it compares. The shining star of the night was definitely my chicken pot pie. The crust was delightfully brown, the chicken was succulent and plentiful, and the sauce it swam in with the tender veggies was super flavorful and aromatic. It was perfect for a very slightly chilly evening. The brown bread served with it was absolutely delightful too, warm and rich and topped with delicious herb butter. I could easily eat a whole loaf. This was a great meal! Thanks for a unique and tasty dinner in Gulf Shores! I highly recommend the chicken pot pie to anyone considering it. :)

It was constant sexual commentary from start to finish. Our server didn't "read the table" at all. He made a comment to my son's girlfriend asking what protein she wanted with her mac and cheese, then followed it with, "or do you get enough from him?" while pointing at my son. That's not part of the act I am guessing...that's just inappropriate!! Every interaction had some kind of sexual angle. Not witty, not timed well--just nonstop, low-level, crude remarks. At some point it stops being the restaurant's "thing" and just becomes uncomfortable and honestly embarrassing. What he wrote on my hat was also sexual and vulgar for no reason. Again, not funny--just lazy shock humor. I'm not offended easily, and I don't walk into a place like this expecting fine dining behavior. But there's a clear difference between being playfully rude and being outright inappropriate, especially when you're speaking to someone's girlfriend in front of her family. Then the bill hits--$107 for extremely basic food. Mac and cheese, plain noodles, tater tots with a little bowl of melted cheese labeled as "fondue," and sodas. That's not even average quality, let alone worth that price. If you're going to charge like that, at least deliver an experience that's actually entertaining. This wasn't entertaining--it was uncomfortable, repetitive, and way below the mark. If this is the direction the place is going, they've completely lost what made the concept work in the first place!! Do Better!! Update: The owner publicly stated they would be reaching out to me privately, but no message has been received. If the goal was to resolve this, there was an opportunity to do so.
