And for a taste of home Louisiana Lagniappe
This is nothing but a glorified Piccadilly. It is not owned by the same people that own the one in BR and it doesn’t come close to the quality of food either. When the Destin location (which was the original one) was sold the owner kept the rights to open a location or locations in Louisiana. The other 49 states were included in the sale

Most seafood alone panhandle is very mediocre at the restaurants. It's kind of mind-blowing TBH. I'll throw a dart and go with Cobalts

The best seafood is at Bucees
People should’ve spent a Saturday afternoon in the parking lot at the Bucees in Foley before any Garth Brooks concert. It was flipping impossible to get out of that parking lot.

Why buy it there when you can bring fresh seafood from Missouri’s many oceans?
Good point, fr33. I didn't consider those delicious Ozark shrimps.

Second opinion: Don't go to the beach for the seafood. go for the atmosphere. if you gotta have the best seafood, go to New Orleans.

Been going to Gulf Shores/OB for many years. Best place in OB is Cosmos. Also, across the street in the strip center, Big Fish is a good option, especially for sushi. Fishers at OB marina is great and the best atmosphere in my opinion. They have an area of field turf for the kids to run around and its great to walk off the meal and check out the boats in the marina. We have also arrived by boat a few times and you can tie up within a few feet of the hostess stand.
We used to make a special trip every year to Bon Secour and hit Tin Top and while still solid, not as good as it used to be.
If you are up for a half hour drive, head back up to Jesse's in Magnolia Springs. Its the best food in the entire area by a long shot.

Probably my favorites over many years of going to that area is The Original Point in Perdido. Nothing fancy, shoot it looks like a dive but always good food. Also had good food and service at Desoto's Seafood Kitchen and The Original Oyster House in GS. Doc's in OB is good too.

Big Fish and Cobalt are both definitely good places to eat out however we usually head on over to Joe Patti's and get some fresh stuff to cook for the week. The dam traffic is getting worse every year!

Dinner reservations in OB during the summer months? Where have you been going?
Fisher’s and Big Fish took reservations last time I ate at them. Both were 3 or 4 years ago though. Big Fish may have been in the fall. We eat out for lunch if we eat out at all these days.

Fin & Fork used to be by far the best seafood, but it’s closed. Anchor Bar(now Avenue Pub) is the best place for food and drinks
Cobalt sucks
Playais solid
Big Mike’s is solid for steak

Yeah that’s the one I’ve been too. Stiff drinks and solid food. Laid back with music and pool tables.

We own a condo in OBA so are there often. I have to agree and disagree with a few suggestions. Breakfast/brunch theres Brick and spoon, Oso early, and ruby slipper. But our personal favorite brunch is live bait. Lunch/dinner casual spots... bon temps, the gulf (but super busy at times), tiki bar, Oso, bahama bobs. Fresh off the boat is absolutely our favorite and seems to be more of a locals spot except for some spillover from waits at other spots. Cobalt is good but you’ll be on a 2 hour wait starting at 5. Agreed on ole River side of florabama for a casual fun scene as long as you don’t expect the best food experience of your life. We pull the boat up there often to grab a drink and hang out for a bit. GTs is where I have to disagree, it’s the same owners as cobalt but a much more limited menu and we aren’t fans at all. The sloop in gulf shores is a hidden gem as well. Super casual but excellent food

I personally find Cobalt to be overrated, food wise. My favorites are Fishers Upstairs, Cosmos, and Jesse's in Magnolia Springs. We also usually make the drive to Joe Patti's in Pensacola for fresh seafood we prepare ourselves. Their fresh pompano are great.

You're really missing out if you don't ride into Pensacola and go to Joe Patti's seafood market. It is unbelievable plus it makes a great rainy day trip if you combine that with the Naval Air Museum at Pens Naval Air Station. Your kids/grandkids will love both stops. We're really big on the headless royal reds and JP's price beats the tar out of anywhere else. We usually return from our last trip to OB with 35lbs of them frozen.

Not mentioned yet. The Undertow located in a strip mall on Canal Rd has AYCE Royal Reds on weekends. They do a pretty good job with them. It’s Smokey as hell inside but you can go sit out back.
