"Eggs benedicts, chicken and dumplings, AND mimosas…you can have all that and more at Kitty’s Kafe in Gulf Shores. Kitty’s offers breakfast, lunch and early-bird dinner specials daily. It’s conveniently located in Pelican Place shopping and entertainment center."

"Stopped in about 8:45 on a Friday morning after dropping my car at the local tire shop. Hostess sat me right away, and got my drink."

"Another Southern chain, the award-winning Ruby Slipper Cafe specializes in New Orleans-inspired brunch fare. The Chicken St. Charles Egg Benedict and Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes are just a couple of their fan favorite items. Check out their full brunch menu to see more cocktails, sweet selections, and specialty dishes."

"Best brunch in Gulf Shores or I suppose it’d be the best brunch in Orange Beach, but you know what I mean. They have a HUGE menu and do happen to be a chain, but it’s a small, semi-local chain so definitely worth visiting. What we recommend: If you enjoy a bloody Mary, GET THEIRS!"

"The Gulf Shores outpost of this famous New Orleans cafe is the place for a decadent brunch. Choose from their over-the-top biscuit Benedicts or brioche french toast stuffed with cinnamon swirl cheesecake."

"Woodside Restaurant is a casual hideaway where the rustic setting complements the tasty food and friendly service. Located on the western side of Gulf State Park, it is a relaxing spot for breakfast, but they also offer lunch and dinner. You can eat in the main dining room, a screened porch – where you’ll find Jenga or Connect 4 on every table – or find a spot outside under the lights and beautiful oak trees."

"Closest to the cabins, Woodside Restaurant has a woodsy, quiet vibe, with plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor space for those cooler days. Their creative breakfasts didn’t quite fit our low carb constraints, but the array of salads and sandwiches for lunch and dinner were tempting."

"You order at the counter, I had the crab cake sandwich, side salad and tots, yummy!. Your food is brought to your table and while…”more"

"Gulf Shores has tons of great places to grab an amazing donut!. We recommend trying City Donut but get there early. The donuts are made fresh daily and once they sell out they close up!"

"We enjoyed breakfast at Duck's Diner on our final morning in Gulf Shore/Orange Beach. It is probably a good thing we went on our last day or we may have been there every morning of our trip. John said the Creole Shrimp and Grit Cakes was one of the best breakfasts he has had anywhere in the world."

"This place has AWESOME food..plus you can save gas $ for the ride there by going to referer.us/7/FreeGasCardNow and claiming your free gas…"

"Asked for a box to take my leftovers and was told “we don’t allow food to go out past 9pm”."

"Whether you are outside overlooking the water and boats at the marina or inside enjoying the family-friendly atmosphere, dinner at Ginny Lane Bar and Grill has the makings for a pleasant night. Part of a locally owned, family-operated group of restaurants, including Villaggio Grill and YoHo Run and Tacos, the owners know what they are doing!. From appetizers, soups, salads and sandwiches to seafood, pasta, and steaks, the menu is huge."

"There’s no shortage of restaurants at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama but one that has always stuck out to us was Ginny Lane (and the sister properties)!. 4851 Wharf Pkwy E, Orange Beach, AL 36561. View this post on Instagram"

"Their lunch buffet was our absolute favorite and so incredibly cheap. We ended up deciding to order 10 pizzas from here for our first night in Gulf Shores for our wedding. We accidentally found ourselves here for lunch on our first trip to Gulf Shores and we’ve gone back every single time we’re there because the pizza is just that good."

"It was delivered 30 minutes earlier than we expected and it arrived hot. The delivery guy was smiling... (251) 948-3100Order online"

"The crust is hand made and not frozen, service was fast ...location was close to hotel and has outside seating!"

"Thanks to the paved bike trail system extending outside the park itself, it’s easy to leave the park grounds via Coyote Crossing to get to nearby restaurants along Fort Morgan Blvd, Canal Rd, and Gulf Shores Parkway. Being big fans of diners for a hearty breakfast to start the day, we hit The Diner for breakfast basics, and tried Hazel’s Nook, which was jam-packed with locals for the breakfast buffet. Definitely get the buffet, which includes made-to-order omelets."
