Great Scott! No DeLorean Required for a Trip Back to the Golden Age of Diners!…read more Sunliner Diner has officially doubled the fun! With two locations now in the area, the second spot is every bit as good as the original. This has become another one of our favorite stops in Gulf Shores, and for good reason. You don't need a DeLorean, a flux capacitor, or a trip to 88 mph to experience the golden age of the American diner. Step inside Sunliner, and you're transported straight back to the 1950s, complete with retro vibes, classic American favorites, and milkshakes that look like they belong in a scene from Back to the Future. Great Scott, these shakes are the real deal! And unlike Marty McFly, you don't have to worry about what year it is when you get hungry. Breakfast or dinner? Doesn't matter! You can order breakfast any time of day, making this the perfect place whether you're craving pancakes in the afternoon or a hearty dinner after a day at the beach. The food is exceptionally good, serving up those tried-and-true American favorites that never go out of style. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and there's something here for every generation. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, or bring your friends who appreciate a little nostalgia with their meal. The whole place has that cinematic, larger-than-life diner atmosphere. It's got enough retro cool to make you feel like you've wandered onto a movie set, with just enough attitude to imagine Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace pulling into the parking lot for a milkshake and a conversation about Royale with Cheese. Thankfully, the service here is much friendlier than a Tarantino movie! Sunliner Diner is a must-visit in Gulf Shores. Two locations, great food, friendly service, and a nostalgic atmosphere that proves some things really do get better with time. Forget the time machine. Forget the road trip through the space-time continuum. And no worries that a conversation with Marilyn will disrupt the timeline. Just pull up a seat, order a burger and a milkshake, and enjoy a little slice of classic Americana. Where we're going, we don't need a DeLorean... just a table at Sunliner Diner!

The best part about the entire place (besides the crawfish pie)....Dolly!! She greeted us when we arrived, has the spunkiest, most upbeat and fun attitude/personality!! She is a gem and made our visit the BEST!!

Well a former favorite has ended its run. The family's last visit was pretty poor so I made no…read morereview chalking it up to a once in a while failure. Nope, today sealed the deal. Our waitress was probably the worst I have endured in a while, lil pug was granting grace for her being new, but she was our waitress last visit several months back. Food was average at best, below Waffle House but above drive through at most places, below some. Service was slow and inattentive. If there had been more than 4 tables seated I would have sworn they were covered up. Final straw to break the camels back of a return was the lack of creamer. A Sunday morning breakfast and yall have no creamer? The "fantastic" waitress let the Mrs know that they were out of creamer AFTER bringing us our coffees. This should have been no surprise to her as the table across the room had some creamer from Rouses next door we noticed when they left, so the no creamer was not new. Even made the play to tell the Mrs she would bring some milk but wasn't supposed to. REALLY? You offer coffee and no milk or creamer, but I can walk next door to buy some. Fine I see how yall feel about me and my family. I am done here, this was a bad experience and for the 40 bucks for breakfast and I have to go shopping next door for creamer if I want it, no thanks. I can do the shopping and heat a pan and save 25 bucks. I can find a bored disinterested server in me. Done. this place offers me nothing so I can simply eliminate it as an option. I wish I had gotten the name of the waitress, dark haired younger lady with a face tat to match the arm ink, that way the owner can give her credit for removing a repeat customer from the list. We went from a weekly visit to monthly then every few months to now we are no more. Seems as they aged this place has rotted. Food and service has just progressively gotten worse.

Was not expecting more than a Dennys from the look of the place, but a drab appearance hides the…read moremost outstanding food I've had in a long time. I had the Breakfast Burrito - "The One Pounder" with eggs, bacon, sausage, onions, jalapeños, hash browns, cheddar cheese, (Pico de gallo, green onions, and salsa on the side). I declined the queso and the sour cream. This was, hands down HUGE!! Everything was distributed nicely throughout, but I have to comment on the pico. Being from Texas, I am a bit of a pico snob. Let me tell you, this was homestyle pico +100! It's the bomb!! The jalapeños were diced small, and I definitely tasted a hint of garlic in there. For non-spicy people, one of the things they avoid with jalapeños is that the pieces are too big, and the burn overrides being able to taste the flavor of the food. This was great to add flavor to each bite, without the overbearing quality of the pepper. Amazing, and great. My love had the Tenderloin Tips and Eggs. Her is her review: Eggs (fried) were wonderful, with a hint of sweetness we could not define. Southern style grits buttery and smooth, and the tenderloins seasoned wonderfully and delicious!

We hate crowds more though and some days We just didn't want to rush. We ate here multiple x because it was right in our hotel. Was the food as great as The Toasted Yolk? nope Was it good enough to start a slow morning yep!! The servings are big, the food while nothing fancy is adequate to start your day, the place is not crowded and in a tourist town that's a plus right there. My favorite was just a simple fruit plate with yogurt and granola. Don't forget the Moscato:) The grits were good too!! Hubbie got the biscuits and gravy with sausage and my son pancakes. We also ate supper there one night I got the mushroom burger sans bun , my hubbie the catfish platter, and my son the Philly cheesesteak. The waitresses were nice and worked hard. Would I come again yes! Would I make a special trip here no! If you are staying at the Palace though and don't want to traipse to places for breakfast or Supper. Give this place a chance ! But they are a bit anal about you sitting the proper way -saw them get on a guy cause he moved his chair . It's not that serious Stacked . Otherwise it's a good enough place to eat a standard, filling breakfast

Everything was delicious. We also loved the nostalgic atmosphere and all the memorabilia and posters throughout the restaurant. Seeing West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz, Elvis Presley, and so many other classics made it such a fun place to look around while we ate. Great food, fast service, a fun atmosphere, and an especially wonderful server. Thank you, Jennifer, for making our family feel so welcome!

I don't complain about really anything in life (just…read moreask my family and friends) but sometimes I have to nitpick when I see something that could use some improvement. Came here Sunday May 3rd around 1pm. Was busy but not completely full where you had to wait for a table. We sat down and waited for our server to take our order. It took our server about 20 mins to come over and take our order. So we put in our food order when the server came by to take our drink order. Food took about 40 mins from when we ordered to when we got our food. I used to work in restaurants (the busiest of restaurants) and know that you should staff more, prep more, and place larger food orders in anticipation of being fully booked friday night till sunday night. I ordered gumbo. My niece got biscuits and gravy. The gumbo was pretty good except would have liked the roux a little thicker. The gravy on the biscuits was lacking in flavor. I love diners and love supporting locally owned businesses. Maybe some staff called off this particular day because the service was slow. But I wil be back.
