I finally went here last week for the first time with a few friends. I have been hearing a lot of…read morebuzz about the place for a while, and we were all pretty satisfied. We had a really good time, and really enjoyed most everything. This spot is located inside of the already popular Southern Shores Eats and Drinks, right there on 59, just north of County Road 98. And the place is called Scallywags. Looking at the main menu they have a huge selection of drinks, including a 32-ounce Rum Bucket, Bushwackers, and local draft beers like Fairhope Blue Steel. Scallywags is pretty much billed as a pizza joint, but with their drinks they could easily be called a bar with bar food. But the menu does have kinda bar food but much more. They just started a newer feature, a "Quick Plunder Lunch," and we went for that. It's available Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM and gets you a sandwich or a personal pizza with a drink for 11 bucks. We ended up ordering a mix of things to share around the table. We started with their hand-tossed pepperoni tavern pizza that came out hot with the cheese and toppings loaded all the way to the edge, very nice. For the sandwiches, we tried the Galley Cuban, which was pressed nice and crispy and served with a big side of house-made potato chips. We also ordered the hand-breaded chicken tenders and fries that were quite good, the calamari, and the Black Flag Reuben, which had a nice corned beef and sauerkraut on marbled rye with a little pirate flag toothpick. Everything was made to order and tasted fresh, the portions were huge, and our server was super attentive the entire time. It is a great addition to downtown Foley, and I will definitely be back to try their Chicago stuffed deep dish next time. Scallywags is closed on Sundays and Mondays, open Tuesdays thru Thursdays from 9 AM to 8 PM, and they stay open later until 10 on Fridays and Saturdays. The reviews are mostly positive, with a strong 4.5 average, with lots of buzz about the 60 cent wings on Thursday nights, and my favorite new revelation, that they fry everything in 100% beef tallow. Bottom line: Good food, cool chill vibe and good people and don't be intimidated by the limited, sometimes difficult on-street parking, there's plenty out back. Recommended!!

The decor was cute-beachy with a mermaid skeleton over a door which brought a smile. Staff was nice and helpful, refilled our drinks several times. Placed our order preparing to wait cause we know these take a long while to cook. Had some calamari while we waited. The breading was good, but the calimari was a bit rubbery. Our pizza took the usual 40-45 mins and looked and smelled yummy. The bottom crust was crispy which was a good sign. I did wish they'd given us a sharp knife to cut with but it was fine. It was a really good deep dish pizza overall and the cheese was nice and stringy. However, it wasn't a Chicago deep dish-the crust doesn't have the cornmeal-y taste and the sausage didn't have that bite. Sauce was a little too sweet to be Chicago pizza, but I looked at the menu again and it said "Chicago inspired". So in the case of being put together into that almost casserole-y concoction it is..But if you are from Chicago and looking for a true Chicago deep dish like you'd get at Uno's, Rosati's, Aurelios this wasn't it. Very good for what it was though.

Southern Shores is a hidden gem that truly stands out in Baldwin County, especially when it comes to breakfast! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the friendly staff. Their southern charm makes you feel right at home, as if you're visiting an old friend. The menu offers a delightful array of options, but the pancakes are the star of the show for me. My wife loves the omelets. Why go to a chain when you can eat here! Whether you're a local or just passing through, Southern Shores is a must-visit for breakfast lovers. The combination of exceptional food, friendly service, and that lovely southern hospitality makes it a standout dining experience. I can't recommend it enough! read more

The entire shop is beautiful and filled with the cutest coastal décor, artwork, jewelry, purses, gifts and unique little finds. There are so many beautiful pieces made with or inspired by shells, oysters and coastal life that you could spend quite a while just looking around. The shop actually reminds me of my late mother because this is exactly the kind of place and the kind of beautiful, unique things she would have absolutely loved. That makes visiting it a little extra special for me. They also have a great selection of coffees and specialty drinks, a full gelato area, and some seriously tempting desserts. I had a hot caramel macchiato, and it was delicious. I also had the chocolate fudge cheesecake brownie, or something very close to that name, and it was DIVINE! It's incredibly rich, so I couldn't finish it all at once--I brought the rest home and happily finished it later. The two young ladies working when we visited were wonderful. Both were so sweet, outgoing, informative and genuinely helpful, which made an already great experience even better. There's outdoor and indoor seating as well, which is perfect for The Wharf. Between the coffee, desserts, beautiful shop and wonderful service, I don't have a single negative thing to say. Definitely five stars and absolutely worth stopping in!
