The Dragonfly — Restaurant in Gulf Shores

@tashaonpaper for ig-Quality sandwiches! About $14-15 a sandwich, you'd think mayyyyybe it would be overpriced-BUT we were delighted to realize it was worth it! The timing was perfect, not too long of a wait on a weekday for lunch. Pictured here, we had a chicken sandwich-EXTREMELY JUICY, with roasted sweet red pepper and pickle, and then the IMPOSSIBLE Vegan Banh Mi (a Vietnamese style sandwich-google it), which i found to be quite possible, only suggestion was that maybe they upgrade/change the daikon/carrot/cucumber slaw (that's typically on it) to be MORE spicy! ALSO-HOW? HOW does this impossible meat texture feel and taste like juicy melt-away steak? 🤤...anyway, both sandwiches came with "just okay" potato chips that appear to be homemade, but i could opt for a better side, maybe they'll change it up in the future? The customer service was concise, i find that to be great, and not rude at all. Some ppl may want more of a talkative interaction when it comes to ordering food at a place like this, not me. I like when people who take my order are clear, concise, and helpful when asked. Not too friendly or overly chatting. Im on vacation after all, Im not trying to spend a lot of time forming rapport with hotel restaurant...

Of course this is a beautiful place to have lunch by the sea. I just wish their fresh ingredients were of higher quality. For example, the menu lists certain dishes come with "avocado" but it was actually an avocado paste and it tasted several days old. I can tell the citrus fruits were cut several days ago, as the edges are turning brown. The tomatoes on the salad tasted like they had been in the refrigerator a while. It depends what you order. The tuna poke bowl has really nice tuna and the mahi nachos are also fine because they don't have many fresh ingredients involved. Service is about what you'd expect for a pool bar. You'll probably get service at first in a reasonable timeframe. They often forget about your second...

This ocean side bar is everything you want in a coastal hangout—laid-back, welcoming, and absolutely delicious. The burgers are a standout: juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with toppings that take them to the next level. Pair that with the salty breeze, stunning ocean views, and a lively atmosphere that feels both relaxed and fun, and you’ve got the perfect spot to unwind. Whether you’re here for a casual bite or to soak in the scenery with friends, this place delivers...
