This place is my jam. On the water, great cocktails, great seafood. If we go to a place two nights in a row, you know we like it. Service was excellent both nights. Bobbie Jean and Yil took great care of us tonight and Panda the night before. If you’re really hungry get something that comes with fries. We had the snapper BLT and the lobster and shrimp roll and that’s a lot of food. The prior night was the poke bowl and mahi -mahi tacos…a little lighter.

Really great lobster and shrimp roll. Even the fries are actually good – sometimes places skimp on the quality of their fries. Even on a chilly day having lunch by myself, I grabbed a hot toddy and enjoyed this view and had a great time. Tammy was really awesome. She always showed up at just the right time and was super kind. The folks behind the register and the bar were also incredibly kind and professional. Will definitely be back!

I was curious about this place solely based on the reviews & photos describing The Gulf’s construction was made up of former shipping containers!! Coming from Hawaii , we receive our goods in shipping containers so of course, I was curious and had to visit. The food was unbelievably tasty & full of flavor especially the daily special (Shrimp & Grits, lots of shrimp with the right amount of spice sized in an amazing sauce), the Fried Grouper Sandwich (delicious and not greasy), & the fresh guacamole dip (chunks of avocado). The big surprise for me was the Golden Cauliflower Bites…for $10, it was amazingly delicious mixed with a sweet chili sauce & I couldn’t stop eating it!!
The atmosphere was great especially on this beautiful sunny day. Seating areas included picnic tables, comfy couches on raised platforms, and bar seating. I’m sure The Gulf is the place to be during the evenings watching the sunset with your loved ones! I absolutely loved the way in which the shipping containers were constructed and used. Definitely worth a visit…your tastebuds will not be disappointed!!

We had shrimp tacos and a shrimp bowl. Both were excellent. Our food runner, Colin, was great. He checked on us several times, made sure we had what we needed and even took pictures for us.

The prices must reflect the beach scenery and view of the gulf customers have while eating/drinking. I visited from out of town and this place was recommended to check it out. You pick your own table like school-cafeteria-style. Hopefully, tables free up after you place your order at the stand. If you get a fountain drink, it’s self serve. There’s a bar for alcohol as well.
I got a side salad ($10), the cauliflower appetizer ($10), their highly recommended lobster and shrimp roll ($28) and a fountain drink ($4-5). Of my $50+ order, I liked my side salad of cucumbers, tomatoes and leaves. The cauliflower was also good. My Minute Maid lemonade had an off-putting aftertaste as if the ice machine had just been cleaned. The lobster roll is served chilled…it reminds me of potato salad. It’s not my preference. I wouldn’t get it again.
The service was ok. The young lady that took my order was friendly. The buzzer/tracker system was confusing. Mine kept buzzing so I went to ask about how it worked. I was told to place it back on the blue circle in the center of the table for servers to track it. I’m unsure how that works. My order came to my table about 15 minutes or so after I ordered.
It’s a very family friendly restaurant with space for kids to play and build sandcastles. Kids will enjoy it here. I think it’s fit for families with children so they get a taste of the beach and simple bites. It’s a very casual spot and maybe a favorite for locals.

This is a very unique venue and I would return . We visited on a day when it wasn’t too busy, which was helpful but what I would say is that the food is good quality, but it is also self-service minus the fact that the servers do you bring it to you once it comes out we got salads the dressing was very good, but we did have to get more of it, but they gave us no trouble about getting more of it. The portions of chicken on the salad were generous for sure. Highly recommend this. It’s a great venue.

Stopped in for a bite, super cool location on the water that is pet friendly. They do not have table service, but the food was very tasty and they also have a very large selection of beers and other adult beverages. The burger was very nicely flavored and they gave me a ton of fries. The salmon was delicious and a big reason we would like to go back!

Absolutely beautiful bar and restaurant. Cass was so friendly and our party of 12 was accommodated so easily. He helped us feel welcomed from the first time I walked in. The drinks were great, and the gulf as the backdrop made for a beautiful experience. The shrimp tacos were perfect, and I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a place for family and friends to hang out. I would gladly spend more money and time here making more memories.

Holy guacamole! Cass is an asset to your staff! We keep coming back because of his excellent customer service skills & the incredible food. The atmosphere cannot beat!! It’s the first place we come, each time we visit from St Louis, MO—about 4 times per year! We come a couple times each week we are in town…the food is that good! Keep being amazing, Cass! We are huge fans of the big comfy couch seating!
