The Gift Horse is set in a former USO & roller rink from long ago. Its so historic and feels very nice. Its decorated with lots of antiques and Mr. Christmas collectibles which are very neat. Food is all buffet style. Good selection of seafood, roast beef, fish, chicken, and vegetables. Some of the side dishes were very cold because... more

Buffet style selections never change more

We have eaten at The Gift Horse Restaurant many times but this is my first review. The buffet is excellent with a variety of meats,salads, casseroles, vegetables, and breads. The dining atmosphere is delightful. This is a historic landmark, and it should not be missed. We moved from the Mobile/Foley area two years ago, but we still make a stop... more

I don't really care for buffet food, however, the room is really nice, and they have good service. more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Gift Horse. The atmosphere is great; it's elegant, but not somewhere I felt uncomfortable taking our two young children. The chicken was delicious, all of the side dishes were awesome, and the fried biscuits...well, you'll just have to try them for yourself. If you want a break from all the chain restaurants with... more
