Best WLM Reviews

What a wonderful find this was on our trip. Had no idea it was even there until we looked up open air restaurants on the beach. This is located on the fishing pier at Gulf Shores. Perfect beachside place for lunch and a beer, great rock and roll music and the most awesome view. I could have stayed there the whole day!
Stopped in for drinks and the scenery. Nice place, the view was nice overlooking the ocean. It's a good walk be prepared when going here. You have to pay to walk the pier. Neat place to stop in and have a drink. If it's cool out make sure to have a long sleeve shirt, especially if the wind's blowing.
Only been there once, goal is to go back again asap.
Ahi Tuna sandwich is awesome.
Pizza is dope
Smoked Tuna Dip is good, but I’m no connoisseur ????
Pina Colada is ????
Plenty of drinks and great food.
Toni is awesome! Thanks for the help and being a part of our awesome visit to Gulf Shores.
It’s at the park, so you’ll need to pay $3 to park. It’s worth every cent.
I feel a need to post this review due to the current reviews not representing the quality of the food at all. I hate to say it but this food is like gas station quality at restaurant prices. I'm not sure they have an actual kitchen but you can see a concession stand across from the restaurant. We ordered tuna dip, seafood nachos, a redneck cuban sandwich and a pina colada. Perhaps I'm not familiar with the tuna dips in Alabama but it really is just like tuna salad. It was canned tuna with Worcestershire sauce and mayo served with packaged crackers. I was expecting fresh tuna or fresh tuna chunks and this wasn't it. The nachos tasted like the regular generic chips with generic nacho sauce topped with itty bitty shrimp, some crawfish tails, bland pulled pork and it did not taste great at all. The sandwich however was the best thing, but I wouldn't ride home about it nor go here for it. My pina colada tasted just like a slush. On our way out I noticed the bar had a sign that stated 1.5 oz of alcohol will be in the drinks unless asked otherwise. So perhaps that was it, but I didn't taste an ounce of rum in my pina colada at all. If you're vacationing, looking for seafood. This ain't it. This is like a quick junk food place to grab a bite or a beer after fishing on the Pier all day. The kids ate this fine but I left hungry. We spent $70 bucks here, this food wasn't not worth that price tag.
What a great beach restaurant! Setting is perfect and the food casual, but tasty. It is a perfect combination for spending the day in that beautiful Gulf State park beach.
Great views near a nice pier on the ocean. Great drink and beer menu. Our 12” supreme pizza was decent. Just could have been hotter.
But for the bartenders Toni and Melody, this place is ridiculously high priced, for the quality and quantity. Without these two ladies, it would not be worth the visit.
Some colleagues and I ate here for dinner a few nights ago. The atmosphere was gorgeous, and it was a fantastic spot to watch the sunset. Unfortunately it took about 90 or so minutes to get the food we ordered ( a pizza, and two small quesadillas ). It's a really neat place to check out, but allow for some time to get your food :) The staff was very pleasant, but they were definitely overwhelmed.
