Chips and salsa
Brittney B.

We came here for lunch during our girls trip. We all 6 got something different and all gave our meals a 3/5. Not the best but not the worst. Our server was nice and the inside looks like a typical Mexican restaurant. Service was pretty slow, especially considering no one else was here during lunch time. My aunt got the fajita salad and it came on chips (pictured below) which she thought was weird there was no actual salad with it. Although the steak on it was amazing! Overall we probably wouldn't come back.

Margarita pitcher

We loved the food, the service, and the ambiance. BUT if you are going to charge me $36 (which I had no problem paying) for a pitcher of Top Shelf Margarita you should NOT displace 1/3 of my pitcher with some kind of freezer thing. If it was a pitcher of beer I can see trying to keep it cold. Margarita has ice in it. Really felt ripped off.

Margarita menu
Rebekah C.

The food was so good great service I was so impressed with the decor it was really pretty in there! The cheese dip salsa and even the bean dip had such good flavor! Definitely recommend I will be back! Oh yeah the margarita menu was so cute definitely have to try next time!

This was ridiculous for steak fajitas nothing like last ones. Raw peppers and onions and no tomatoes..
Jana B.

Not sure what happened ..this restaurant is remodeled and gorgeous and we went a lot..but the last 2 times it was awful for my husband..this time mine was good but he got big chunks of tough meat on top of raw bell peppers,a few onions and no tomatoes.. we won't be back as prices have gone up and quality down..sad cause mine was better more taste and not so bland this time..very disappointed

Inside
Charles P.

The inside looks fabulous and the food was great! The staff are friendly and we will definitely be coming back!

Gratuity?

This was our second time giving this place a try but after tonight we made the decision not to come back. We had 5 people at our table tonight and split the bill in two. Luckily I happened to noticed an extra 18% charge on my bill, which I assumed was gratuity? At least I assumed because we did not leave the "additional gratuity" listed on the card copy. (KINDA SNEAKY) Don't get me wrong the food is OK, service was good just not really authentic Mexican and is overpriced with smaller portions than elsewhere.

This is the green aguachile it's really good I recommend if you like really spice stuff. Really love it

Good food, very sour margaritas and highest prices in town. Not worth it. Many choices around.

A friends & neighbors favorite since opening. They've come here multiple times since then. This is…read moreonly my 2nd time since ownership changed hands to chef/owner John Davis. I love their menu varieties featuring lunch favorites & classic dinner fanfare featuring soups, salads, pasta & other entrée app offerings. There's a wonderful variety pertaining to their wine & beer lists with specials available at certain times. Last visit was excellent. I brought other family members who joined me from Pittsburgh and were also satisfied with their complete dining experience from service to entrees. They've kept Safai Club's original decor, retaining that theme and giving Savannah their namesake theme. Be sure to check their wonderful selections before reading further. Menu: https://savannatherestaurant.com/menu Their hospitality is impeccable, ensuring our group's needs were met and remaining attentive towards us with a friendly demeanor. Remaining prompt with food & drink orders. Their chefs continue towards remaining flawless in preparing their entrees, which always come served full of flavors. My group's favorite this day was their French onion soup, as 8 other people with us all ordered that & discussed it, recommending it to myself & others within my group. My order was their burger & fries. Their burgers are served flaming hot with char-grilled flavor, juicy, having a moist bun seasoned with perfection & featuring fries prepared hot, crisp, & moist. My group is consistent regulars & will continue coming here on select Fridays or at certain times without us celebrating special occasions or date nights.

The previous original restaurant here at the zoo Safari Club closed and chef, John Davis, from the retired and closed iconic restaurant, Sunset Cork Room, brought some excellent culinary experiences here. Unfortunately, they just closed their doors and the future of this unique venue is uncertain. They posted a heartfelt thank you to patrons and I'm gonna be on the lookout for the chefs and if they will pop up somewhere in the future, they did a great job and thank you all for sharing your expertise and great food!

We just love Lambert's!!! every time my family and I visit Gulf Shores. We make this our final stop…read moreon our last day of our vacation. We love the location. We love the service and of course the food is so awesome. The friendly weight staff comes around throughout your entire dining experience and provides so many awesome sides in addition to your dinner selections. The staff comes around and brings fried okra, smothered potatoes, and various other delicious southern side dishes. The food is so delicious and definitely remind you of HOME and the variety of menu items are perfect and so so so yummy. The 32 ounce mugs with your drink of choice is hilariously, huge and so generous... we also learned on this trip that you could purchase one of those jugs to go. The ambience is cool. It kinda reminds you of an old country restaurant with wooden benches and historical items, pictures, and memorabilia all throughout the entire restaurant. The biggest part and honestly a fun part for families is this is also the place that's coined "Throw em rolls" where they throw huge hat and fresh dinner rolls to your table so at any time you can see flying rolls throughout the dining room rooms. It's so much fun. I would definitely add this to your list if you are in the area to check out. The food, the service is really great and just a very simple, casual dining experience.

Lambert's is definitely an experience! I'll admit, when I first heard they literally throw the…read morerolls across the restaurant, I thought it sounded a little strange, but once you're there, it's actually really fun. The rolls come out fresh and hot, and they're really good! They also come around throughout the meal with different "pass-arounds" that they serve right at your table. I tried the fried okra and really enjoyed it. There were several other options being passed around as well, so you definitely won't leave hungry. For my meal, I had the chicken wings and was very pleased. Other family members tried the country-fried steak and shrimp, and everyone seemed happy with their food. The portions are generous, and even the drink cups are GINORMOUS! Service was good and timely, especially considering how busy and lively the restaurant was. It's very family and kid friendly, and you can tell Lambert's has been around for a long time and has become an experience in itself. My biggest recommendation: make a reservation, especially if you're coming with a large group. Without one, you could easily be looking at a 45-minute wait or longer. Overall, I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to experience Lambert's. Good food, good service, a fun atmosphere, and catching a hot roll flying across the restaurant makes for a pretty memorable meal! Definitely worth experiencing at least once.
