Traveling to Gulf Shores, AL

[rossboyer]

We will be taking a week long vacation in Gulf Shores, AL the week after Thanksgiving and will be staying in the state park. We have not been there for 10 years. We have heard that much has changed due to the storms. What are the best restaurants that retirees frequent?

mrboyer,

Our favorite place in Gulf Shores is King Neptune's ( http://www.kingneptu...ftoken=31186708 ). We eat lunch there often when we are in the area. They are usually very busy during the main lunch period, so we try to avoid the 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM time slot. They have daily lunch specials.

Also, you might want to try Lambert's in Foley. They are the place known for throwed rolls. The wait staff comes around frequently with sample portions of fried okra, beans, greens, etc. The restaurant started in Sikeston, MO and their specialty is home cookin'.

Also, as you travel south on Hwy 59, there is a small park with a board walk on the east side of the road just a short distance north of Hwy 182 (Beach Boulevard). It's a good place to walk off the lunch.
