Possibly the worst experience I could’ve had. Our server, Dee, was very uneducated and kept naming off things I could have but then when I questioned what fryer it was cooked it she told me the same one as everything else. The gluten-free menu is very limited and half of the item on there are labeled as gf but are breaded with normal breading and fried in the same fryer as everything else. I got a ribeye steak and baked potato and the steak was awful. Do not recommend.

Fun little beach place! They had a menu that had all gluten free items highlighted. Many things to choose from. I got the shrimp and grits which was good for a bar food place! Very busy and very crowded. My guess would be that the chance of cross contamination would be high here but I felt find afterwards.

They have a lot of GF options on the menu, ask for the GF menu. The waitress was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and I didn’t get sick.

Not a lot of options. Staff not well trained on menu options. But in the end a nice piece of grouper with white rice.

Our server, Andrew, was knowledgeable about allergens and very attentive! There was not a GF menu, but he said that since everything is made from scratch, they could make a lot of dishes gluten free. He also advised that I should avoid anything fried, because the fryer is used for everything and would be a source of CC. I had the shrimp and grits after Andrew confirmed with the kitchen that it was safe. It was delicious!

Tacky Jacks, situated in the heart of Gulf Shores, Alabama, proved to be more than just another restaurant; it was a sanctuary for someone seeking gluten-free options. Although they don't have a separate gluten-free menu, Tacky Jacks has demonstrated great attentiveness and genuine care towards customers with dietary restrictions.
As soon as I walked in, the friendly host walked me through the menu items, indicating what was gluten-free and what to avoid. The personalized service and detailed guidance made the entire ordering process easy and ensured a sense of safety for gluten-intolerant guests like myself.
The atmosphere of Tacky Jacks was inviting and lively, making it a great spot for families and groups of friends. The laid-back decor (and colored tape) and the soothing views of the canal lend a distinct charm to the place.
One fun, unique tradition that Tacky Jacks has is the "tacky tape." It's an engaging touch, allowing customers to leave a small message, a doodle, or simply a 'you were here' note on the walls or furniture. It was a delight to participate in this tradition and feel a part of Tacky Jacks' story.
A special mention goes to our server, Chin. Her energetic spirit and attentive service elevated our dining experience. Her knowledge of the menu and commitment to cater to dietary requirements made our visit enjoyable and stress-free.
The only reason for my 4-star rating instead of a full 5-star review is the lack of a separate gluten-free menu. As much as the staff was helpful, a dedicated menu would go a long way in assuring gluten-intolerant or celiac customers about their meal choices.
Nevertheless, Tacky Jacks offers a memorable experience with its mix of delicious gluten-free options, engaging atmosphere, and exceptional service. So, if you're in Gulf Shores, Alabama, make sure to drop by and don't forget to leave your mark with the tacky tape!

The staff went above and beyond to understand my allergies and accommodate. They genuinely cared. They were willing to prepare separate non-pilaf rice and unseasoned grilled chicken for me.
