This is a very touristy business and attracts crowds. Weekends are the most crowded and you will likely wait awhile. The food is decent, prices are what you'd expect, but the view is good if you get a table outside, and the atmosphere is "ParrotHeadish". Go with firends and enjoy the drink menu! More

We dined here on a Wednesday around 8 PM. It was not busy and service was excellent. My partner had grilled Mahi Mahi with rice and vegetable. I had blackened Mahi Mahi tacos. The Mahi dinner was declared excellent. The Mahi tacos were very good. I would have preferred black beans and rice instead of chips. That option was not... More

We visited Tacky Jack's Gulf Shores - right off Canal Rd. We waited and waitied and were finally able to grab a small table downstairs while they were getting our table for 12 ready. The kids were playing in the game room. The band was GREAT - just don't tell them you are a Razorback fan. We were ribbing them... More

As a resident of Orange Beach (adjacent to Gulf Shores) I've been to all three Alabama coast Tacky Jack's. First off, there's a problem with Tacky Jack's (TJ's) reviews on urbanspoon and tripadvisor. It appears people may be unknowingly posting reviews to the wrong locations. First, there is the original TJ's in Orange Beach (aka the Gulf Shores "area") on... More
