Island Atmosphere
Bushwackers at Sunset – Nothing Better!
In the restaurant industry (or most
other business, as well), if the term
“tacky” is used at all, it generally
does not constitute a compliment.
But the nearly-legendary status of
the local Tacky Jacks restaurant
chain proves that there is always an
exception to the rule.
Originally established in 1980,
Tacky Jacks is actually one of the
area’s oldest restaurants. What
started out as a single location has
now blossomed into three – one
each in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach
and Fort Morgan. Each location
offers a great dining experience
with its own spectacular view amidst
a casual, fun and mildly “tacky”
ambience.
“At Tacky Jacks we take pride in
being a little different and a little
better than most restaurants,”
explains Owner Buddy Skipper.
“Sure we always serve great
tasting food and drinks, accurately
and quickly in a clean but eclectic
environment. But at Tacky Jacks,
our difference is our smile and
genuine sense of hospitality!”
Having been voted “Best Happy
Hour”, “Best Overall Bar”, “Best
Local Hangout”, “Best View of the
Island”, “Best Island Atmosphere”
and “Friendliest Staff” by the local
People’s Choice Awards, Tacky
status as a “must visit” eatery for
locals and visitor alike.
The variety of menu options at
Tacky Jacks is almost as impressive
as the view - offering breakfast,
lunch, and dinner options that
combine delightful takes on local
seafood favorites with a range of
traditional casual restaurant fare. An
ample kid’s menu is also available
as well as a plentiful selection of
adult beverages – headlined by the
“Bushwacker” – a spin on a frozen
milkshake tailored just for adults
only.
“Overall, we want every customer,
every family, and every group to
feel like guests in our home,” said
Skipper.
Each individual, centralized
location of Tacky Jacks makes it
conveniently accessible by both
land and sea, as well as providing
the perfect spot for people watching
or enjoying the ever-changing
boats and dolphins swimming-by. If
you’re in search of fun and inviting
restaurants to eat in the local area,
look no further than the great food
and casual dining of Tacky Jacks.
