    Tuna dip
    Dee S.

    Coming to this spot- trying to find something with good fish - nothing looked to appealing- so went with the tuna fish - which I felt like the bread was tastier than than the tuna - came out with my side salad - which was also better than my boneless chicken wings -thanks again

    Food was fresh and very good. Atmosphere was what one would want for a fish house experience. The shrimp were huge, fresh and delicious. Tried the coleslaw with my meal and it was really good as well. Service was top notch.

    Bourbon honey mustard wings
    Jessica S.

    We were so glad to see that someone decided to open here again after the old place shut down! The service was great! We had the pizza and wings, and both were yummy. I loved that the wings are smoked and then fried. I do wish they had some other wing sauce options besides just BBQ, Buffalo, and honey mustard, though. Parmesan garlic, sriracha honey, or even just lemon pepper would round things out some. Malinda had the pizza Margherita, and it was delicious. The sauce and crust were yummy, and it had big circles of melted mozzarella. We tried the onion rings, too--they weren't like they used to be, but I really liked the sauce that came with them. They have their liquor license now, and they actually have 10 draft beer options. All in all, we are so pumped to have another restaurant close to our house! We are excited to go back soon to try the burgers and other options.

    Had a great breakfast right on Bon Secour River. Best bacon I've ever had and a triple chocolate cheesecake was really good. Feeding the turtles in the river was very cool. A great place to watch the sunset.

Self service order and pickup but friendly staff that came around to make sure everything was satisfactory. Comfortable country theming and quick service. Would definitely recommend

    On a recent boys day out I took a few of my Buds to check out this new addition for Arizona BBQ,…read moreyeah you read right, Arizona. Colt Grill BBQ & Spirits just opened in downtown Foley, AL, and I was curious to see how their smoked meats and Western vibe would fit in with our Southern scene. This place is a big deal for Foley, it's set up in the historic Foley Bakery building, a 100-year-old landmark that's been closed since 2007. The building, at the corner of North Alston Street and West Laurel Avenue, got a major facelift over the past year, and now it's home to this BBQ joint downstairs, with apartments and an office upstairs. Colt Grill started in Arizona, with four locations there, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Cottonwood, and Village of Oak Creek. Foley's their first venture outside Arizona, and they picked it because they loved the South's charm and Foley's small-town feel. Walking in, the place feels cozy yet upscale for a BBQ spot. The exposed brick walls and custom furniture, sourced from the owner's family of furniture builders, give it a warm, authentic vibe. Brenda Marie Clouston, the owner, has a background in interior design, and it shows. The setup is pretty unique for the area: you order at the counter, but there's a full-service bar where bartenders bring your food if you sit there. My buds and I grabbed a table, but the bar looked tempting with its lineup of bourbons and signature cocktails like the Foley Bushwacker and Colt Margarita but only one pal took advantage of the spirits. And they have happy hour :-) The menu's got all the BBQ classics, but it's not just ribs and brisket. They smoke nearly everything pork, chicken, turkey, even their mac-n-cheese over oak hardwoods. I went for the sampler platter to try a bit of everything that included baby back ribs with campfire sauce, pulled pork with Kansas City sauce, brisket, smoked turkey, and a turkey brat sausage. The meats were tender and packed with smoky flavor, and the variety of sauces let me mix it up. Classic sliced white bread was served with mine but we tried the jalapeño cornbread, which was a standout, spicy but not overwhelming. The guys got a brisket plate and a pulled pork sandwich. They liked it but I thought the brisket could have been a little moist and tender. Overall the food was good and I will return. Service was friendly, though it got a bit hectic during the lunch rush. The staff was hustling, and you could tell they're still finding their rhythm since opening in early this yesr. I liked that they give back to the community every "Cowboy Cookie" sold donates a portion to Secret Meals for Hungry Kids, a local charity. The atmosphere was lively and the Western decor made it feel like a little piece of Arizona in Alabama. Bottom line: Colt Grill's a great addition to Foley. It's not just another BBQ joint, it's got heart, history, and some seriously good food. My buds and I are already planning our next visit. If you're in the area, check it out and come hungry!

However, we unfortunately weren't impressed with the flavor. Presentation wise, very fun and cute. The mermaid tail was presented with everything I got except I didn't get the mermaid tail gummy/charm on my sundae, a bit odd haha. The mermaid tail was $8 but really it was beautiful! The vanilla ice cream however, was not great. It tasted like imitation vanilla, like vanilla extract. Not a fan at all. My husband got a milkshake with m&ms and gummy worms. Mix ins were great... but the ice cream again was just OFF. It didn't taste like a normal chocolate ice cream and we couldn't figure out what was off but something was. This is how much of our items we decided to go ahead and toss due to flavor just not being what we expected. I think this is a fun place for kids and a fun experience, but I don't think I'd go back just because of the flavors

    I just paid my first visit to Milkshake Momma Burgers and Shakes yesterday it's a vibrant and…read moreenergetic restaurant located in Orange Beach. Since its establishment earlier this year Milkshake Momma is fast becoming a favorite spot for locals and tourists with their comfort food, unique atmosphere, and over-the-top milkshakes. Founded in Ladonia, Alabama, as part of the Southern Roots Country Store, Milkshake Momma has quickly gained popularity for its delicious comfort food, over-the-top milkshakes, and lively atmosphere. The restaurant's was founded by a group of friends who wanted to create a place where people of all ages could enjoy delicious treats and create fun memories.  While Milkshake Momma currently only has one location in Orange Beach, AL, the restaurant is now offering franchise opportunities to interested entrepreneurs. Milkshake Momma's menu features a wide array of unique offerings, including epic FREAK Shake milkshakes, old-fashioned milkshakes, banana splits, cones, cups, freak donuts, mini donuts, cobblers, and cheesecake and cake by the slice. Their food menu also boasts a variety of tasty options, such as burgers, hot dogs, salads, and funky fries. I've got my eye, for my next visit, on the Outlaw Chili Dog which is a hot dog, topped with mustard, house-made chili, onions, slaw, and pickles, it sounds delish. Also when I'm not being my regularly cheery self I'm coming back for a Cheer Up Buttercup, which has a  Peanut Butter Rim, Vanilla Milkshake or Sundae, Topped with Slice of Cheese Cake, Reese Cups, Reese Pieces, Pretzels Carmel and Whipped Topping, that sounds cheery :-)  I had my first Pistol Pete shake that was quite  enjoyable, and by the way they use Blue Bell Ice Cream here, and I do like their stuff.  Bottom line: Milkshake Momma Burgers and Shakes offers a fun dining experience with its unique atmosphere, delicious comfort food, and over-the-top milkshakes. The staff is friendly and the wait is reasonable, give it a try!  Hours: Milkshake Momma is open seven days a week: Monday - Thursday: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Friday - Saturday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM Sunday: 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM To learn more about Milkshake Momma, visit their website at milkshakemomma.com.

We had driven by Dan's in the past .. with the high reviews we wanted to put them on our bucket list. First things first, hours are bit unusual 10-3 but hey why not. We landed around 10:30 and the place was pretty quiet .. just another couple seated. First impressions were good, nice clean spot, 50's theme with like kind music. You order from the front register so we went about picking from their menu. A couple of things, one I noticed the cook was preparing off a couple gas like hot plates vs a griddle, a small concern initially. I opted for the Dinner B-fast eggs, hash browns pattie sausage and raisin toast. My partner went lunch focus with a Dinner burger & fries. The wait was short and our food arrived hot and ready to eat ! Here's the breakdown: Diner B-fast - a bit underwhelming to say the least. Eggs were cooked OK, the hashbrowns were a bit soggy and really greasy sad to say. The pattie sausage was thin and so salty it was hard to eat. The raisin toast was hard, dry and really crunchy. All in all - one of the less digestable b-fast plates since landing here 6 weeks ago. Diner Burger - our order taker missed the cheese we asked for so we ended up with a reg burger vs the cheese burger. The sandwich was good but came with a handful of seasoned fries which were OK but honestly hold the seasoning and just give the real deal. I must say our hopes and expectations were high based on past reviews and comments. Unfortunately this one crashed and burned. Now off the list - not a repeat for us sad to say.
