Dinner salad with ranch
Jamie P.

Absolutely a beautiful patio to sit on and watch the wild life. I enjoyed feeding the 9 turtles and fish :) Service was amazing (Heather). Food was great ! Can't wait to try more things. $5 bloody Mary's were fire!

Delicious stuffed mushrooms appetizer. Yummy!
Debbie G.

I really like this restaurant. It is decorated simple, clean, has a small bar and always friendly service. We sat at a table. The stuffed mushroom appetizer is one of the best I have ever had. The app has to be homemade and not the typical frozen fried mushrooms. The pretzel appetizer is really good with two dipping sauces. The pizza is good. Not great but I'm also a pizza snob from the Chicago area. I don't like sweet drinks and the server and bartender listened to my requests and made delicious drinks. I really appreciate that. I like to come here every time I am in GS. The prices are reasonable too. Check them out!

Local owned!! Fun location.. be careful when parking. Narrow road and gravel lot. Check out daily specials. Shrimp and crawfish boil was huge and loaded with shrimp!! Regular menu has wide variety of choices. Pizza..burgers...sandwiches..fried fish. Drinks are poured well. Limited selection of beers but full bar.

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

Fish Sandwich (Blackened Mahi) -no fries. And remoulade sauce - get it! Bit it before I thought to take pic. It comes as a full bun.

First time to try this and we were NOT disappointed. Went on a Wednesday so it was quiet. Ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. Hubby commented how clean it was. Our waitress, M'Lynn, was fantastic. She worked with me on ordering. I have a shrimp allergy so we had to make some substitutions and she was terrific about it. Hubby ordered the Oyster Poboy and fries. Huge sandwich and plenty of fries on the side. I ordered the Fish sandwich with the Blackened Mahi and a side salad. Both were fantastic. The Mahi was a slab on the ciabiatta bread. My toppings (lettuce, tomato, and purple onion) were on the side so I could dress as a liked. Also had slice of lemon. I commented on the sauce that was on Hubby's sandwich (which was served open face for you to fold to eat) and M'Lynn said that's our remoulade...would you like some for your sandwich too? Uh, YES!! And get it. You won't leave hungry. I guarantee it. As first timers, we didn't realize there is a back patio that sits right on the water. Check that out! And you can also feed the turtles and fish. I love checking out the local places and this one I will return to 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.

Blue Moon on Draft

Got the fried mushrooms with cheese & a Supreme Pizza Food was great / only problem (insects outside) Horrible

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.

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!

I had the crawfish tail platter and my honey had the grilled shrimp tacos that she really enjoyed. The folks were very friendly and welcoming, out sever Anna was great, and the place was bright, clean, well appointed with a fun atmosphere. Since opening its doors in 2021, this family-owned restaurant has become a go-to spot for fresh, high-quality seafood dishes. With a stylish nautical-themed atmosphere, Superior Crab exudes a warm and inviting ambiance with its beachy decor and friendly staff. The restaurant's menu features an array delicious seafood dishes, including their signature garlic butter seafood boils, juicy crab legs, and succulent locally sourced shrimp. Their 4 seasoning options are Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter, and superior special complement the seafood nicely, creating a very nice culinary experience for the seafood lover. While they're known for great seafood dishes, their menu also offers a range of non-seafood options for various tastes and dietary preferences. Choices like chicken wings, chicken tenders, chicken sandwich, fried chicken, pasta dishes, soups, salads, fried rice, burgers, steaks, beef fajitas, pork carnitas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, gumbo, crab & corn bisque, fried okra, french fries, hush puppies, garlic bread, desserts, and more. Bottom line: Superior Crab in Foley provides a delightful dining experience complete with fresh ingredients, lunch specials, happy hour, and variety of assorted dishes, and friendly service.

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

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

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.
