We are a family of four from Kansas City Missouri, we have vacationed in the Gulf Shores / Orange Beach area the last eight years. Big O's is our favorite restaurant in GS, and we have tried all of the other places. We like to order the fried trio ( it is actually no longer on the menu, but they... more

lunch on feb 3, 2009. no wait, food hot, tasty, price reasonable. Waitstaff not very personable - she didn't smile, seemed to be just getting through the day. atmosphere funky, on the "divey" side, but would probably go back. more

I agree with stlrob - spend your breakfast money elsewhere. Eggs weren't that good, and I especially don't like ersatz butter and cream for my coffee. Slipshod service too. I don't mind a nice cozy dive - I kinda like a nice offbeat spot - but this one is just sticky-icky. more

We went to Gulf Shores craving crab claws and were anxious to try Big O's. Worst meal we had the entire trip. Crab claws were so tough, you could hardly eat them. more

We ate breakfast at Big O's Grill on April 2, 2008. Our food was okay but a little disappointing. Eggs over easy were undercooked. Beware that their pancakes are HUGE (each as large as a plate). Syrup provided was an Eggo microwaveable package that looked like they just bought it at the grocery store (note: Eggo syrup contains no maple... more

We stopped here for breakfast - it was great. We ordered the Shrimp omelet and the jumbo cinnamon roll and it was enough for two of us. We will go back there next year. more

Eat breakfast here. Order the cinnamon roll, which is about the best 2 bucks you will ever spend. Order the seafood omelet, which you might not be able to finish. Come back here and thank me. Never ever disappointing. more
