Try Wheel House Restaurant

If you're looking for an elegant night out, the Wheel House Restaurant on Gulf Shores Parkway might not be for you. It's a small, very casual restaurant, and it doesn't offer much in the way of romance or ambiance. But if you're looking for some of the best seafood you've ever tasted, then the Wheel House Restaurant is definitely the right place to go to.
I recommend starting any meal at the Wheel House out with some of their seafood bisque. It is the tastiest soup I've ever had, and it's light enough that you'll still have room for plenty more. When it comes to the main course, everything on the menu is pretty great, but what really hits the spot for me is their fish and chips. The batter is incredible. I've never had anything else like it.
I also really recommend trying something from their bakery. I get it to go since I'm usually stuffed by the time I leave. Their cookie selection is incredible. My kids just go nuts over it. My personal favorite thing there is their pies. The coconut cream pie is to die for.
The staff there is very friendly and fun. I always get my food there very quickly. It doesn't have the wait time that many of the other restaurants in the area in spite of the fact that it's so small. It seems very well managed.
This is definitely my pick for the best meal in the area. It's perfect for families or for a simple night out. The foods and bakery just can't be beat.
