Make Vacation Meals Memorable at Family-Friendly Places

Where to eat ranks pretty high on the list of decisions to make when on an Orange Beach Gulf Shores vacation.

November 14, 2018
Family Restaurants

Not only do you want a great-tasting meal, you want an atmosphere that fits your family's particular style, too. Alabama's beaches are home to a literal buffet of family-friendly restaurants that offer mouth-watering delicacies in an atmosphere that's certain to please the most particular of young diners. Need fun while you wait for your table? Watch the boats come down the Intracoastal Waterway or try the ropes course at LuLu's at Homeport Marina. The Hangout in Gulf Shores is another family-friendly restaurant with its outdoor games and sitting areas. You're just steps away from the Gulf Shores public beach at The Hangout. The Gulf Restaurant in Orange Beach boasts a fun-in-the-sun atmosphere where music played on vinyl records offers a blast from the past casual-dining atmosphere. Get a seafood fix at Bahama Bob's Beachside Cafe' on West Beach in Gulf Shores where the motto is the "lower the latitude, the better the attitude." There are many more family-friendly restaurants available on the Alabama Gulf Coast. For a complete listing, visit the restaurant directory.
