Gulf Shores Diner
We have been on a quest to find the best breakfast restaurant in Gulf Shores, AL. When we moved to the area, we decided it was time to dive deep into all of the epic local restaurants and see which ones we loved.
We actually visited Gulf Shores Diner for the 1st time the week we moved to Gulf Shores. I can't even express how happy we were to have a hot breakfast after driving across the country with 6 cats in the car.
It felt so good to sit down and take a deep breath. Throw in the truly amazing customer service and fun from our waitress, and it was fantastic.
This local restaurant is great for brunch, breakfast, or lunch. They are open early, so you can enjoy a 4 star breakfast before heading out to the beach.
Indoor Seating
There is a surprising amount of seating in the restaurant. There is a combination of tables and booths available.
The tables can fit both large and small groups. We saw a large family enjoying breakfast together and having a great time.
The two of us enjoyed a wonderful table that was super comfortable.
