Picnic Beach Bar & Grill is an easy walk from the Gulf Shores public beach. Enjoy indoor and outdoor dining with epic food, drinks, and more!
Picnic Beach
Take a break from the beach and grab some great food, take cute Instagram pics, and have a great cocktail.
Over the past few years, Picnic Beach Restaurant has tried a few different menus and offerings.
You may have enjoyed a smoothie or barbecue during a previous visit to the restaurant.
They have a new menu packed with local favorites including peel-and-eat shrimp, tuna ceviche, Kajun crab dip, salads, bowls of goodness, burgers, and of course a shrimp boil.
I need you to try their boba tea! As I type this I am dreaming about an ice cold passion fruit boba tea! Or maybe the mango boba tea! Ok, I might just order both and share with my husband.
They are so good we can't stop talking about them.
I love the atmosphere at Picnic Beach. It is comfortable, casual, beachy, and fun! I found myself taking photos of the great wall art and inspirational quotes.
You can't help but leave with good vibes and a smile.
