This place is a super cool little bar with good food. Everything tasted great! The only reason I can't give five stars is the portion size. Amazing appetizers but small. Also, the cheese steak sandwich tasted great but more bun than beef. Personally, I would rather pay more and get a full sandwich and larger appetizers. My advice...order double appetizers and if you get a cheese steak pay for extra beef! read more

Super chill and laid back atmosphere- great burgers and cheesesteak! Staff was friendly and welcoming as well!

Great service. Great Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were wonderful As was the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Parking is tight and atmosphere is dark and bar like but I really liked it and will go back. read more

We arrived at 8:30pm onSaturday night after a 15hr drive from Texas. We were met with great service and even better food! We were too tired to drink but will be back! Thanks!! read more

I'm local, but had never been here. I had a Cheeseburger/Cheese steak combo and it was probably the best burger that I've ever had. And that's saying a lot! They were packed on a Friday at about 1pm, and we had about a 10 minute wait. I'm not sure if that's normal or not, but believe me it's worth the wait! They have much more than burgers. Since I live fairly closeby, I'll be checking out more of the menu. The service was great. The staff is very informative and attentive. You won't be disappointed here. read more

lunch with friends today at the sloop. philly cheesesteak sandwich was good as was the italian sausage sandwich but the star of the show was the stuffed mushroom appetizer and the fries. service was a bit slow but it was busy for lunch. read more

Awesome restaurant great prices have a great food and menu! Have need several times and food is always great

This is a must!! We were recommended this place by a local and stopped in for lunch! The food was incredible and the staff was super friendly! We sat outside on their large patio. Loved the vibes here so much and will definitely be back! read more

By far the best hole in the wall place my husband and I have eaten at. Recommended by a local we decided to try it. They have a full bar, but nothing on tap. It's all bottles or cans. We started with the Buffalo party fries. I love Buffalo sauce so I had to try it. If was a double order of fries with shredded chicken tossed in Buffalo sauce, topped with mozzarella and either ranch or blue cheese. I could have just eaten that and I would have been great. I tried the cheesesteak. The small one was huge! It came with homemade chips. I thought it tasted great. My husband got the cheeseburger and said he was not disappointed. The service was great and everyone was friendly. I felt the pricing was great, especially compared to what it cost to eat out nowadays. read more

Holy Moley the steak sub was Amazing. I was stunned at the weight of the sandwich, very heavy...alot of meat. Fries delicious. Chicken wings great also! Server and bartender were so welcoming and friendly. TV was right on front of us and the boys loved watching the game. This is a local favorite, and I can see why. read more

We came on a busy day of the first round of NCAA MBB games. They were busy so everything I am grading them on, I understand they were slammed. But, that being said the service was lacking. We weren't given a lot of assistance finding a spot to eat. Had to go to bar to order our food. Drinks came out wrong. We were seated in the nice little outdoor area that had beach games and sand. Food saved the review from a 3. It was a 5. Everyone in our party loved what they ordered. Philly's and chicken Philly s are the way to go. Bread is amazing! read more

We discovered this little gem looking for another restaurant, tucked under a bridge span of the highway Decided to try it and so glad we did. Good service, fast delivery. The drinks we ordered -a margarita on the rocks and a Mojito drink were just ok, but the food was delicious and unexpected. We ordered stuffed mushrooms (divine!! and rich), Caesar salad (this was just average and dressing tasted bottled), the Reuben egg rolls and a little garlic butter scampi shrimp skillet that came with toast points for dipping. The scrimp scampi was so good I could have licked the cast iron..lol. Extremely fresh shrimp, as expected in the Gulf, and a butter-wine sauce with little burst roasted cherry tomatoes and onions. Excellent! The egg rolls were prepared and presented in an elegant way and so flavorful, served with an orange tangy dressing drizzled on top. The presentation of the food was beautiful, too. Someone is rocking it out in this kitchen! *Loved the food here, but the environment was kinda loud. A crowded sportsbar with locals type of place, so keep that in mind when choosing this place to dine in. We really liked it! read more

The service was perfect and food came up really fast! My hubby ordered the Philly cheesesteak and he gives that a 5 star. He and I felt that the chips could have been fresher or maybe fresh oil. My meatball sandwich was good but the meatballs themselves were sort of bland (but I'm nitpicking now - probably because my Italian husband can make them better...) We'll be back for the nachos, for sure! read more

This lil' bar is the best kept secret, cold drinks yummy food ( best cheesesteak around) and quaint setting. Come as you are and enjoy. Friendly staff with good service, what more can you ask for? read more

Service was great. The mushrooms were amazing! We had the cheese steak sandwiches and both were delicious.

Highly recommend! Food was awesome! Owner was awesome and great service! Loved the atmosphere!

It seems to be a local favorite. It got backed as we were leaving. Okay but probably won't be back. Limited menu, no outdoor seating (when we were there) which was a main point on why we choose it. Prices were okay on par with beach food. The Italian was good, no side options besides the homemade chips (I am sure were fine but I dont like chips). Loud bar atmosphere. Felt crowded and made us all wanted to leave asap. Server was nice. Fell short of our expectations (but like I said it was crowded so we may be in the minority). read more

Loved the food, the service and the friendliness of the local folks. Had the twin burger and fries. It came with fresh cut fries and homemade potato chips too. Burger was hot and delicious and the chips were crisp and not overly cooked. We will definitely be back! read more

The Sloop - Burgers and chips - Sports Bars Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

Hello from PHILLY!!! We are in town for vacation and had to stop by to show our support. The cheesesteaks are right on...true Philly cheesesteaks. This place is very good!! Love the service too. They get their rolls shipped in from Philly. You will not find a better cheesesteak outside of philly than this place. We came with 14 people and they were able to get us seated fairly quickly given how busy they were. We met the owner, really nice guy. You gotta try it if you really want a true philly cheesesteak. Get the whiz!!! read more

We wanted to try a restaurant on our way to the beach. The Sloop was good choice. I had the plain chicken wings, they were kind of small but good. My kids each had bbq and hot wings and they were bigger than mine. Place would be cool to have drinks but it's small place so the noise level picks up quick. Overall it was good place try out. read more

This place is mostly a local dive and we love it that way! Just had beef cheesesteak (best in town). Never any complaints here at the Sloop but if I could have them change one thing, it would be the fries. If they could make them like 5 guys that would be awesome. Fries here are ok, but the texture is like styrofoam fries. Taste is ok. Love this place but if you're not local, stay away!!! read more

The food was cooked perfectly. The service was impeccable. It is a local joint and as outsiders they made us feel right at home.

Great cheesesteaks and burgers, and very friendly service! Clearly a hidden gem in Gulf Shores!

Cool restaurant. Food was good, but took forever. Nice staff. Appetizer came out with our meal, which was disappointing.

Hidden gem in GS. Kind of a dive but great food and atmosphere. Get the Philly cheesesteak!

The food was phenomenal!!! It was packed and very busy so the food to a while to come out but it didn't disappoint. We had a great server as well! The best restaurant we have experienced in Gulf Shores so far! read more

These guys have the tastiest Philly Cheese Steak I have ever had. The sweet hot peppers were on point. I would recommend this place a definite need to try. read more

The cheesesteak was great, I added the shrimp, delicious !! Live music was impressive and the atmosphere couldn't be beat sitting outside!

This place was cool. I'm a sucker for anywhere with live music off the beaten path. Local atmosphere with tasty food and drinks. Being from NJ, anytime I find a place that serves Cheesesteaks I'm in. I enjoyed the toasted roll, which tasted a lot like home. However, the cheesesteak was slightly underwhelming. we tried the cheesesteak with American cheese as well as one with whiz - definitely don't recommend the wiz as it has no flavor. We also ordered a basket of fries which were so thin and crispy we thought they were Pix Stix. Nice enjoyable band outback, but you have to get through a very out dated, family restaurant bar. A lot of knickknacks on the wall like they've been around for years. A lot of locals which is always good to see. I try not to go the tourist route. Seemed like the spot to take the family on a Friday night. Stop by this place and park yourself in an Adirondack chair out back, grab a drink and put your feet in the sand. read more

Great cheesesteak sandwich and friendly staff. Excellent dive bar in the best possible way.

What a great little gem of a restaurant tucked away under Highway 59 on the south side of the Intercoastal Waterway. Great lively & fun atmosphere, mostly locals, which speaks very well for the anticipated quality of the food, and almost everyone, staff & customers, know each other. Our food was outstanding. I had the Italian Sausage & Peppers, and my fishing buddy had the South Foley Cheesesteak & Provolone. The picture of my empty & clean plate 'after' I finished says much for the quality of my meal! The staff were exceedingly articulate, friendly, and helpful. It was a waitress team, including Jane, Jazmine, & a couple of others. Great job all the way around. read more

Atmospheric local dive bar/restaurant. Not lots of seating, but the food is worth it! We sat on the patio in the heat, but overall very good experience. The live band was a nice touch as well. Some of the staff were helpful, but others seemed more occupied chatting amongst themselves. read more

The back courtyard is such a fun atmosphere. Great place to hang out for dinner. Their drinks are great. The staff is friendly. The price is right! read more

What a fun place! Good service and drinks were excellent. Stopped in during afternoon off hours and found a warm friendly atmosphere. We will be back. Wonderful welcoming southern hospitality. read more

Came here while on vacation in Alabama and my overall impression is that I am less than impressed to an extent. My Philly Cheesesteak was delicious, my Wife's on the other hand was made incorrectly amongst multiple other mistakes in the orders at my table. My Wife ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls with no peppers and hers came loaded with peppers. My mother in law got a meatball sub and the meatballs tasted very disgusting very unfresh, so much so that she had to get it replaced with something else. Overall not an overwhelmingly positive experience. read more

Food was ok. It was very crowded at lunch. A lot of the locals go there. Very fun atmosphere.

We have visited The Sloop several times in the past, and usually enjoyed it--especially the nachos which we have considered to be some of the best we have had anywhere. No more. We ordered nachos on March 17, and got a plate of chips. More than half of the chips literally had nothing on them. Those that did had such skimpy topings that they we virtually dry. One hopes for better days. read more

Wow, I am glad the place we had planned on going to dinner at was full. This place is great, so don't come here because seating is limited and I want to be able to get a table. They mix a strong dark and stormy. Everything we ordered was excellent. Will be back, so save me a spot! read more

I had Philly cheesesteak steak and it happens to be the best one I ever had. Very tender steak, great cheese choices. The servers were great and friendly while being on top of customer service. There is an outdoor patio where you can enjoy live music. read more

After a FUN afternoon & night at The Flora Bama for the annual Polar Bear Plunge...this was a great idea for the slight hangover I had...LOL. Tucked away under the bridge going into Gulf Shores; this place is a hidden gem. With 9 TV's you can see the most popular football games. They treat you like family around here so take care of your wait staff. Great food good times. The owner is from Philly so the cheesesteaks are great! The sloop dog is a must try. Hurry up and get your butt to The Sloop read more
