Visited Dauphin Island for one week and tried twice to get in for dinner. Went on a Tuesday when the place wasn’t very busy, but was told 4 empty tables were reserved for some sort of trivia (?) and that they could not accommodate us for over an hour. There was an empty table outside that just needed cleared, so I asked if they serve outside and would be able to take us at that table and was answered with “well if I could get it cleaned off that would be great” as if it was our fault no one cleaned their table. We decided it seemed like they didn’t want our business that day. We called very early afternoon on Friday for reservations knowing they would likely be busy and could not get through. Thinking it could be the spotty phone/internet issues on the island we stopped by the restaurant on an outing earlier in the day to see if we could reserve in person. We were again turned down by an extremely rude person who immediately acted as if a party of 10 would be unwelcome. She literally said “no, nope, we cannot reserve spaces for more than 4”. What kind of place doesn’t allow a group to reserve so that can plan ahead for space? We will not try this place again, and will not recommend it to anyone because of how rude they were.

Lunch today May15,2022. First and last visit. We ordered the fish tacos and a fried shrimp basket. Received shrimp tacos and requested tarter sauce for the shrimp basket. The fries were cold and rather than tarter sauce received horse radish which burned the top of my husband’s mouth, he lost his breath and tears in his eyes. Worse most ridiculous service and food ever!

2 1/2 hour wait, we had been driving all day so we figured we would wait for food. Worst mistake we made, there were 10 of us and we all regreted it. Never will we come back again nor suggest it to anybody, bad service and bad food.

My family and I called and made a reservation to eat here. There are few options on the island but while on vacation, we saw quite a few videos recommending this location. When we first arrived, we were greeted with a sign that said wait to be seated. All servers including the owner made eye contact with me but I waited 15 minutes before we stopped a busy waitress. She informed us there is no hostess and they have to handle it. All the table outside and most of the tables in the front (including chairs at the bar) had a Reserved Sign with the parties name. I helped our find our reservation in the book. However, even though all other individuals in the book had their tables marked- we didn't. She said having no hostess they had to pickup the lack. It really didn't make sense why we were the only ones that didn't have a table. I wish I took a picture before I'm not exaggerating in the least. So we ended up at a table in the back patio, the last table off on it's on. The chairs were covered in bird droppings and the table was rusted. An individual came over to wipe it down at our request but he couldn't do much. The table was rusted and peeling up. Nevertheless we decided to make the best of the moment. However, we waited...and waited..and waited. Again eye contact from servers coming out but no one came over, including the server that sat us. No drinks, nothing. Other tables near us got seated, got their drinks and actually got refills and nothing. It was bizarre. My father went inside to check with someone and the bartender was completely confused why no one was helping us. Nothing changed and my mother (btw I'm a 35 lady- family vacation with 6 of us) decided we would leave. We had been there 45-50 minutes andwas having a horrible experience. The owner was sitting at the bar the whole time, when my mom let my dad know we were leaving (he went back up to the bar) the owner said (really loudly) Oh Well and took a drink. To say this experience ruined our night is an understatement. There are very limited options on the island and the locals don't seem the very friendly to visiting individuals. The only places I would recommend going is the The Bakery and The Pirates Bar & Grill (the restaurant-not the pizza). The food was almost delicious and the staff and everyone was amazing.
