My favorite lunch place
Bahama Bob's Beach Side Cafe
601 W Beach BlvdClose by within walking distance. Great food and people.
This diner is in a group of shops on the Gulf Shores Parkway close to the Publix. No views, but great food!!! American diner that serves terrific breakfast omelets, grits, hash browns, etc. Lunch is awesome to with burgers, po boys, and reuben sandwiches. Even better get it to go and come back to sit on the beach.

Absolutely great tasting food. A little pricey, but the amount of food was amazing. I take all my relatives and friends here when in the Gulf Shores Area. View of many of the Dolphin Tour boats in the back harbor. Off the beaten path of Beach Blvd., but well worth it.

When you see Fort Morgan Road (Burger King) turn East. Walmart is just off the main Gulf Shores Parkway, well-hidden, but it is typical items plus a large gulf shores logo and beach items for sale. It has a gas station too.
