My husband and I ate breakfast/lunch at The Diner yesterday. We both had the crab/shrimp bisque which was incredible. I had the Michigan Salad very very good. The balsamic dressing was a bit bland. My husband had the Ethan omelette and loved it. He couldn’t finish it it was so big. Great service and reasonably priced. We definitely go again.
This was some of the yummiest food we had in gulf shores, a real hidden gem. The fried fish is so good, the crab and shrimp risotto is decadent. For all the hug priced food in the area this place is a fresh breath of air as it is more than affordable.
FORT MORGAN SUPPER CLUB dined royally at THE DINER in Gulf Shores on July 19, 2016. It is conveniently located diagonally across from Tacky Jacks in Gulf Shores, has adequate off street parking, and no steps. Since they take reservations, the hostess seated us immediately. The banquet room was quiet and accomodated about 60 people. The other half of the restaurant is mainly comfortable booths for four. We were all pleasantly surprised at the variety and affordability of the selections. Photos with individual member comments are available for all items served on FORT MORGAN SUPPER CLUB Facebook page. Our server, Vince Brown ,was most knowledgable , efficient, and eager to please. Appetizers vary daily to assure maximum freshness. We had Ahi Tuna Shasimi with wasabi sauce, crab cakes loaded with fresh crab, not fillers, and BBQ Shrimp with skin on mashed potatoes. Any or all of these could easily be a meal unto itself. The entrees included black and bleu burgers $9, open face prime rib roast beef sandwich $10, chopped steak with onions and gravy $9, two large fried pork chops $10, shrimp and grits $13, fried shrimp $12, mahi steak $18, 8 ounce filet mignon $20, 14 ounce ribeye $21, and many other very affordable sandwiches, pasta and fish dishes. Since I knew that the owner, Steve Nailor, had been head chef at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, I had to have the hand cut ANGUS ribeye which was better than even I imagined….but others said the filet wins the GRAND PRIZE. He puts a homemade rub on, then cooks over an open fire grille. The sandwiches come with a bag of chips, and you can trade up to fries or onion rings for a small upcharge. The entrees include a baked potato and another side, or salad in a large COLD bowl. The dressings are homemade and wonderful. Tonight’s desserts were key lime pie, coconut cake, Chocolate sin, buttermilk pie, and creme brulee. WE HAD THEM ALL. They are all homemade on site and each member had a different favorite. I loved the coconut cake. You MUST look at the photos. A mile high, and infused with coconut and juice throughout. The best I have ever had. If you are looking for the fanciest white tablecloth restaurant in town, overlooking the ocean….this is not it. If you are looking for a clean restaurant with friendly staff who want you to come back often, great food and variety at affordable prices at lunch and dinner, you have arrived. Did I mention the grill and bar are open until midnight? All sixteen of us were duly impressed, and have a new favorite in our top five. I cannot wait to see someone eat the 16 ounce Steve’s Famous burger.
Excellent burgers! Great quality meat and we absolutely loved the fresh sourdough buns! Hamburger steak and veggies were good too..highly recommend this diner!
Average at best… The Diner needs to decide if it’s going to be a restaurant a bar or a place where groups can meet. I got the diner plate bacon eggs sausage and potatoes.
I had heard good things about this place, but frankly I wasn’t expecting much, The Diner isn’t exactly the name of a fancy restaurant. But let me tell ya, this place was awesome. I had an absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked ribeye with mashed potatoes and green beans. The potatoes and green beans were fantastic also. Wife had BBQ shrimp that were super tasty. A touch on the rich side, but still very good. The only downside was the chicken Alfredo. It was a touch bland, but Alfredo isn’t exactly bursting with flavor, but I’d probably pass on that. Server was fantastic and prompt. Will be back!!!
The food was delicious. I had the all American burger and it was juicy and really fantastic. The waiter, Timothy, went above and beyond to make sure it was a great experience.
