My husband, 3yr old daughter and myself went to eat at Calypso and loved it. The atmosphere was really laid back and the food was good. My husband got the grilled shrimp and fried plantains. He loved the fried plantains. I didn't care for them, but he ate his and mine. My daughter got the fish fingers and ate all... more

Although the weather was cool and windy, our family enjoyed dining outside ay Calypso Joe's. Everyone enjoyed their meals and service was attentive considering the lack of customers in the restaurant. I would definitely reccommend this restaurant if you are visiting Gulf Shores / Orange Beach. more

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, and it was clear they were understaffed. The service was a little bit slow, but the food was good and the atmosphere was fun. more

They switched out the dinners. The cuban dinner had uncooked rice under the pork. when we brouight this to their attention they said so what.... more

Heard good reviews, but we were not impressed. We were told 20 min for a table, and it took 40, and they did not appear that busy. Our food took an exceptionally long time to come out once we did order. When we got our food, it was fine, but not that great. The restaurant is off the beaten path... more
