It's Mikee's If You Are Serious About Seafood Places In Gulf Shores, Alabama!

There is a place in Gulf Shores, Alabama, where the locals go to feast on shrimp and other seafood delights. The name of the place may cause you to drive on by, but believe me, that would be a huge mistake.

If you are looking for fresh, tasty and plentiful seafood the choice is easy, it's Mikee's! They have been family owned since 1987. Here is a look at their menu.

We spent a nearly a week in Gulf Shores last winter to escape the frigid temperatures of Kansas. Gulf Shores is our new favorite beach escape. We ate seafood at several restaurants that week. By far and away  was the best of the rest!

I know what your thinking. Mikee's is number 31 on TripAdviser. It is number 38 on Welp for crying out loud! We are gonna be counter intuitive here and tell you, Mikee's is better than these two platforms rank them. Way better.

It's not real fancy from the curb, it obviously wasn't built to lure tourists. It's on a side street and not on the main drag, again, they appeal to the local Gulf Shore folks. It's pretty plain on the inside. The name, Mikee's, yeah it's not exotic. But I will tell you from personal experience, it blows the competition away.

First of all, let me assure you the place is clean. The service crew was friendly, fast and attentive. The food was fresh, well cooked and lot's of it. If you and your family are hungry then Mikee's will fill you up.

I'm a sucker for jumbo shrimp and I like it fried. Mikee's offers a half pound and a whole pound. I ordered the half pound. It was all I could do to finish it off. When I left the establishment I felt like John Candy in The Great Outdoors after he finished off the big 96er! I can't imagine anyone going in there and eating a pound of their jumbo shrimp but, hey, to each their own. If you are the John Candy type, Mikee's has several "all you can eat" fish plates too. I feel like I need a Tums just sharing that information.

Mikee's has a whole lineup of Po Boy sandwiches, salads and desserts. Speaking of desserts, they offer creamy peanut butter pie and key lime pie. My wife and I split a slice of key lime and it was sensational. 

If you are not hunting for seafood then Mikee's is still a great choice as they offer steaks and all manner of chicken dishes. 

I will repeat this axiom many times on this blog site, I usually look for locally owned restaurants where the locals are eating. You can rarely go wrong by that rule. You can't go wrong at Mikee's!
