Lambert's Cafe

When they say "Home of the Throwed Roll", they mean it. The only way you're gonna get on is to catch it or pick it up after it smacks you in the side of the head. I have one request for you when you go, if you have kids that can't catch for crap, don't ask the roll dude to keep chunking rolls at them. Somebody else might want one and if your goofy kid drops half a pan on the floor, it just aint right, there too good to waste.
The food is great, think Cracker Barrel but 10X better. Southern foods and reasonable prices. Most meals come with a couple of vegetables plus rolls and Pass-Arounds. Pass-Arounds are fried okra, fried potatoes, peas and a bunch of other stuff they bring around several times, you can have as much and as many as you want.
I've eaten at all 3 locations, Foley every year. Best thing to do is have a late breakfast then hit Lambert's about 4:00 for an early supper, just skip lunch. It's best to be good and hungry plus sometimes there's a wait to be seated.

The Shrimp Basket

There are 8 or 10 locations within about 60 miles of Gulf Shores. This one is on the west side of 59 right in Foley, AL.
Extremely casual place, nothing fancy just good food. Same owners as Mikee's and food is about as good.
They have a "all you can eat" special most nights.
Great place to eat on Friday night when there is an hour wait at some other places and you want good food and a cold beer. Make sure to pick up a bottle of their hot sauce.
