Customer Reviews

"This place is like coming home to family. In the year and a half that I have been eating at the Gulf Shores Diner on Sunday mornings with my parents, I literally feel like we are coming to the best place to have a meal on Sundays. All the staff treat us like family. The food is always delicious. The restaurant is always clean. You can buy local art. The menu is diverse and always made fresh."

"No frills diner with good food, service and lots of options. My brother-in-law (lives in this area) recommended this to me and I tried it this morning for breakfast. Andrew waited on me and he did an excellent job of making sure I had everything I needed. The food came out quickly and everything tasted great. It was a very good experience. They also feature art from local artists which is very cool. I would definitely recommend stopping by here for breakfast."

"Nice Relaxing Breakfast. Went here for breakfast on a Tuesday. The service was immediate and pleasant. I ordered the Philly Steak Omelette. It was very flavorful and cooked perfect. The hash browns were good too. If you want a local, relaxed place to have a great breakfast. This is the place."

"I typically try to eat at a place a few times before I leave a review, but we had enough people and everyone was very pleased with their food. We all liked everything we tried and both children (6 and 2) really liked their food too and are everything. The steak and eggs were very good and the price was not bad for that either. My wife had the hashbrown skillet and she enjoyed it too. My sister in law had the French toast and she enjoyed it. My brother in law had the 5 star breakfast and was very complimentary of that food too. Our waitress on Sunday morning was Tanya (pretty sure that was her name) and she was great, very hospitable and attentive to our needs. We will be back here for sure and if we were local we would be regulars, very good food and we highly recommend trying this place."

"Food was delicious, service was quick and prices fair, not overly priced like some places I've been to while visiting. We came for breakfast, it was semi-busy, about half or so of the tables were full. Server was prompt and food came out quickly and everything was great. I'm glad we decided to try it based on the other reviews posted. I got the pancake combo and my husband chose the combo with both pancakes and French toast!"

"Went here for breakfast the other morning for the first time. The service was good and the food was delicious!! We didn't run out of coffee, and the server checked back multiple times to make sure everything was good. Our food came out very fast and everything was exactly like we ordered it. It had a good diner atmosphere that makes you wnat sit back and relax. I will definitely be back again and bring family here as well when they come down to visit!!"

- Josh G.

"Every time we go to the Gulf Shores Diner, we enjoy ourselves. The food is always perfect and so is the service. Most recently we had the best pancakes we have ever eaten...thick and fluffy. The chicken fried steak was done to perfection, so tender you could cut it with a fork, which is a big deal. And the bacon was crisp to perfection. We will definitely be going again soon."
