I’ve been coming to the beach all my life. Redneck Riviera. Destin, Navarre, Pensacola, Perdido, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach.

Has anyone ever been relaxing on the beach, seen one of those planes fly by, and say “Hey let’s go try that restaurant tonight!”

Because I have only once-today in Orange Beach a plane flew by advertising a new restaurant called “The Galway”. Being that Galway, Ireland is where my ancestors came from, I googled it to look at the menu. The food looked gag a maggot. No thanks.

Again, I dont mind the planes, just curious if they work on anyone??? Makes me wonder how economical it is. Just curious.

I once had a plane fly by with "Gerry Laval is a fig." Everyone on the beach got a big kick out of it.

Just enjoy them for now before they turn into OnlyFans ads.

I dunno. Me eyesight is beyond reading them anymore without my glasses which I don't need on the beach.

Well, it got their name mentioned on a message board based in Baton Rouge. So they accomplished something.

I took a look. It looks like standard pub food to me.
Is it the fish or the chips that bother you so much?

You’re a moran.

I’ve eaten every single one of those menu items in Ireland and that’s exactly what to expect at an Irish restaurant.

You googled the restaurant and checked out the menu and you're asking if the advertising worked?

Which condo you at? We can party together. And yes, I’ve been tempted to parasail and rent jet skis, but never pulled the trigger.

C'mon, Gerry, if you'd hold the sign up higher and dance a little more on the corner, they might've hired you again instead of going with the airplane banner.

Don't be bitter, just try a bit harder next time

In fairness, at first I thought the cocktail was "Smoked Salmon Old Fashioned" at first and that would be pretty gross

I was in Orange Beach recently and saw one for the Shrimp Basket, which we had driven by earlier that day.

I looked it up later and we went the next day.
