Read the reviews and believe them Do not believe locals who have never had good food. The service is bad, the food awful, the view (although on a working waterfront) is of the garbage cans or smoking waitresses or cooks and the wait can be long. If you must go the lunch meat & 3 is the best of the... more

Barnacle Bill's was recommended to us by locals. Terrible place, terrible food, terrible service. Restaurant had only two servers for two rooms. We received plastic silverware in a small bucket after server related they were out of regular silverware. Diners 20 minutes after us received regular silverware. When food finally came -- after very, very long wait (ice for canned... more

It was also good to see that they had a crowd on a Tuesday night. We thought that the place must... more

Barnacle Bill's service in a word – horrible! My family and I attempted to visit Barnacle Bill’s Seafood Restaurant at Dauphin Island, AL in July 2008 but soon realized that the management and wait staff have no interest in providing service. After waiting for several minutes we attempted to catch the attention of the management and wait staff to be... more

We went to Barnacle Bill's on three separate occasions during one week's visit. Service and food first time was great, which encouraged us to go again. Second visit was at a rush time, so we had to wait. That's fine, but the table we were shown to was not washed (it was sticky), the server was upset about something and... more
