We decided to try this place because it was very close to where we were staying. It is pretty basic looking on the outside. Our waitress was great and kept checking on us but it took almost 45 minutes to get our food. despite the kitchen taking so long to prepare the food it was very good. My husband had... More

In reading some negative reviews, we were skeptical but decided to try this restaurant anyway since it is close to our beach house and we had never been there before. Our food was great. The staff could not have been friendlier and our waiter was very nice and attentive. We waited 25 minutes for our food but we did not... More

Ate here for lunch today since it's close to where we're staying. I will start off with the fact that the young gentleman that waited on us, genuinely tried to do his best. However, I think he was working alone with a relatively new kitchen staff. We were seated and were the only two people in the place for a... More

We have been impressed with the beaches of Gulf Shores! We were a little weary of coming down three years ago but the beaches are well kept and it is so nice to see the sea life coming back. The water is so clean and this year was the first year we have seen so many different shells. It is... More

Nightly specials, prime rib was good, willing to prepare with special requests. Service a little slow, adequate bar. Nice décor, clean.

We accidentally discovered this jewel August 2012 and just visited again tonight while in the area again. The service is wonderful, the food is first rate. Last summer when we first discovered it, members in our party (from California, New Jersey, Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi) all raved. Several people stated Oceans was the highlight restaurant of our week long trip!... More

We ate at this restaurant several times during our week long visit to Gulf Shores, AL. It is a little off of the main tourist area but very easy to find as it is visible from the highway. The food was made with fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection. We especially liked the Grouper Valentine as all of the flavors... More

We stopped here on our way to check into our condo after a long day of drivng and were not disappointed. My friend and I had very good shrimp and our teenagers had burgers which they liked. The service was good, location suited us well because it was only a few miles from our condo, and it had a handy... More

Went to this restaurant because we figured they would have some amazing seafood, but little did I know what we were instore for. When we got there (myself, Fiance, two cousins and a friend), there was one table filled and that was it. We all walked in and didn't see a waiter, hostess server, you name it. We waited about...
