Bill’s Vacation Rentals - Gulf Shores

Love this place! We were here for a week and it was great for our family of 5. The kids loved going back and forth from the pool to the beach everyday and there is a grocery store right across the street which was very convenient!

We arrived at bills and we 're greated by the hostess and seated promptly. Our waiter greated us and got our drink order while we looked over the menu. At that time we ordered 2 orders of the Mac and Cheese balls and a mixed drink. When the waiter came back. He had one order of Mac and Cheese and a beer. We informed him that we didn 't order the beer and we had another order of Mac and Cheese, he seemed confused at what we were telling him so we accepted the beer and ordered the mixed drink again Bills Bermuda Water and confirmed that he had another order in. We got our mixed drink, it tasted like tanning bed lotion smells. Taste is subjective so we just accepted and went on with our meal. The plating and look of the food was great, that 's where our experience ended. We ordered blackened shrimp that was so salty it could hardly be eaten, coconut shrimp that was horribly over cooked and extremely rubbery. Some of Our table ordered burgers that where burnt on the outside and extremely dry. The three things we can say where good was the fried potatoes, the Mac and Cheese balls, and the grilled cheese. Our waiter came to our table and asked us how we liked the food, we simply told him we did not like the food. We 're not very confrontational people so we just let it be where it was. Within minutes Bill arrived at our table to ask us why we where dissatisfied with our food. A great gesture. At which point we told him what we didn 't like and he seemed nearly offended. At that point bill offered us Free Geleto for everyone, on the house as he and his waiter whisked away with our plates and beverages. They did not ask if we where fished with our food or drinks before they had taken them away. Even though it wasn 't that good of food, we spent $115 minus tips. No offer to comp our food which is okay but if I pay for my food. Like it or not. I would eat it rather than be scurried out of the door. I will never return again we dine out all over the country. One of my last choices for beach side seafood.

Lol! This place and Bill got exactly what it deserved! It 's called karma... when the owner is an a and you serve shitty food... this is what happens! Couldn 't happen to a better f a

First time there. People were great from the minute we walked in. The green tomatoes sweet chili shrimp was one of the best appetizers we have ever had. The artichoke spinach crab dip was outstanding also. Owner Bill came to the table to check on the meal and service. Told us about a visit from Morgan Freeman recently and he came back twice in one week for the, yep, fried green tomatoes with sweet chili shrimp. They will see us again.

They've got a new chef and he's mixing up the menu with some really nice dishes. Be sure to get the Bill's home brew beer in a big glass for .75 cents Highly recommended! Last time I had the Cuban sandwich, smoked in-house and nicely done. They have a very nice menu with stuff like their own version of shrimp and grits, crab claws, seared tuna, po' boys, fried green tomatoes with shrimp and prime rib and it's all from a lovely view of the Gulf of Mexico, nice! Everything we've had we enjoyed very much and we've had a visit from the man himself Bill who has checked on us to make sure all is to our liking, nice touch. While I can recommend the atmosphere, the food and the view let's talk sweets. They've got key lime pie, yes pie which is a lot like cheesecake, traditional cakes but the bread pudding with 151 rum sauce is really and truly crazy good. And then there's gelato, um gelato which is catching on locally but I have been a fan for decades and they have a nice selection of delicious gelato, salute! Give Bill's a try because they just keep getting better.
