What is the food like there seriously? I know people who have gone there for lunch and suggested it. What is the board's thoughts?

The wife and I stayed in a condo near it a few years ago and I can't remember what we ate, but I do remember it was decent for the type place it is. I remember my wife got some charbroiled oysters and loved them.

The beer is cold, cocktails were strong and the young ladies on the weekends, when they were the busiest, were a nice diversion.

Seems the beachwear gets less and less every year.

Pretty good bar food based on my two visits. I wouldn’t go out my my way to choose it as a dining spot, but for a place to grab some burgers and chicken tenders it is good.

Now the place across the street should be avoided for food

It’s good bar food. Especially if your smashed and need to sober up a bit. Not a place to seek out to eat unless you are already there and need some grub.

I remember eating chicken tenders and fries there once. Definitely not bad. But it's bar food so temper expectations.

The Yacht Club? I would rather eat there than the regular Flora Bama.

Not sure if that was the place. Seemed like a new place in a big building with a nice bay view. Had pretty good boat traffic out back.

Place was hot as all hell. Service sucked. Food wasn't much better. In general for a sit down restaurant down there I didn't care much for it.

I’m too focused on bachelorette parties to notice the food

You are thinking of Ole River Grill or something like that. It didn’t last a year for the reasons you speak of.

Slapped the shite out of iluvs arse when she was there on a bachelorette party.

And the burgers are rock solid

But I prefer an all star special from the goat waffle house across the street

1. Dump everything on waffle
2. Cover in syrup
3. Fold over
4. All star taco

Flora-Bama group bought the shopping center where Docs & Nolans were on Hwy 59. After telling Docs & Nolans to move out they opened a resturant named CoastAL. I ate there last week and it wasn't very good and the A/C duct was dripping on one of our party.

Flora Bama Yacht club has Greek nachos on fried Pita Chips. They eat pretty good.

Yep. Food in the Flora Bama is terrible. Only reason to eat there is to try and sober up.

Not sure why this has never occurred to me, but it's definitely happening on my next trip to FloraBama.
