De Soto's Seafood Kitchen

Without question the best seafood (maybe best restaurant) in Gulf Shores. The Grouper (blackened) was phenomenal, the popcorn shrimp perfection, but the sides (I went with fried green tomato’s, slaw, and turnip greens) made the meal. Service was great - atmosphere fun and friendly - clean and family oriented. Couldn’t recommend the place enough - was in town for 3 days and ate meals here twice.

Excellent all around. Very reasonably priced winter specials till March 1. We had the blackened grouper with baked potato and fried green tomatoes. And the blackened trigger with sweet potato casserole and steamed vegetables. Everything was delicious and the service was absolutely the best possible!! DeSoto has been a favorite for many years and continues to exceed our expectations!!

Busy, but delicious. Waitress had several large parties and wait time while seated was long. The bread was delicious! I also had alligator bites and coconut shrimp, both were wonderful as were their sauces.

We had a great experience here! Kasey was our server and she handled it like a champ. We had 2 kids meals 2 appetizers and an big platter to share, our tab was $90 something with tip. The food was great, not the regular commercial beach/pier food you see nowadays in touristy areas. We loved it and will come back when we come back to the area.

This was an excellent choice for seafood! The Snow Crab legs were Awesome and Bill's pecan crusted Grouper was Excellent as well! We also had Great service! Love this place! We will definitely be back!

It is like coming home to family when you eat at DeSoto’s restaurant. The atmosphere is like we are all in a family setting without the squabbling. There’s indoor and outdoor dining. The food is always the best. It’s never soggy, never with a weird spice, and always super fresh.

We enjoyed a nice lunch here recently. The place has a lot of seating inside. We sat downstairs and had plenty of room to spread out in our booth with our group of 6. The complimentary bread was tasty. The smoked tuna dip was a great starter. It had really good flavor and the crostini bread that came with it was great. My daughter enjoyed her fried shrimp and applesauce off the kids menu. My wife loved her blackened catfish. We were there when happy hour was going on (11-6) so we tried a couple of $5 bushwhackers. They were pretty tasty. Our server was kind, informative and her service was excellent. We can't wait to come back.

I ordered the alligator bites and broiled seafood to go. Food was well prepared with good flavor. I was pleased with the portion sizes. Prices were a little high but that’s the norm nowadays, I guess. Staff seemed on top of things fairly well.
