Lulu's Restaurant is 2 blocks outside of the airport. Lambert's Thrown Rolls Restaurant will come pick you up at the airport. Tacky Jack's and The Original Oyster House Restaurants are just over the bridge. Looking for something a little different, The Gulf Restaurant is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico where you can enjoy fresh foods directly on the beach overlooking the water and from time to time dolphins! You can contact either FBO for courtesy cars, shuttle, or rental cars to any of the local attractions/restaurants. Contacts: Ferguson Air Services FBO 251 948-5550 freq 122.775 or Gulf Air Center FBO 251 968-5100 freq 129.375
According to AOPA, Jack’s Aces Pilot Lounge, Gulf Air Center, Gulf Shores, Alabama (JKA) Jack Edwards offers home cooked meals as well as 100LL. They say:
“Another gorgeous coastal area, Gulf Shores, Alabama, is a worthy stop as well. Visiting aviators to Jack’s Aces at Gulf Shores International are treated to Southern hospitality and even better, a complimentary home-cooked meal with the purchase of fuel. While you dine, hang out on the covered porch and aircraft-spot—with its proximity to local military training fields like Naval Air Station Pensacola, you might get treated to some unique visitors.”
I haven't verified this yet, though. And remember, JKA is now Class D airspace.
