Welcome to Papa Rocco's, a Gulf Shores institution since 1985. Despite our tongue-in-cheek motto The home of warm beer and lousy pizza, the beer is ice cold and the pizza is great.

    We went here on a Wednesday for the AYCE Spaghetti special for $6.95. The food was excellent with excellent value at $6.95. Stan, our waiter was phenomenal. He was very personable, entertaining, very knowledgeable with the menu items and most importantly, an fantastic and attentive server. If I could give 10 stars for this place, I would.

    Love this place! Still the same as in years past! The food, the music and the service are second to none! Great local vibe with a welcome face for the traveler. Make sure you are hungry if you order the “who’s your daddy” burger! :)

    Stan was our server and was excellent, went above and beyond for our table. Atmosphere was FUN and very casual. I loved my food, my friends thought theirs was average (6 different people w/ 6 different entrees). All in all would definitely go back, would love to try different entrees and appetizers.

    Management was extremely rude. The are many better seafood restaurants in Gulf Shores. Oysters were poor quality. Service was slow. Food is low quality and not worth the price. Unfortunately I can’t say anything positive about Papa Rocco’s.

    the food was comparable to a tv dinner. not worth 45 dollars at ALL. Bread was hard and overcooked, portions were ridiculous. the only redeeming quality they have comes from the nice lady at the front. Other than that, do not waste your money unless you enjoy the taste of Marie Calanders microwaveable dinners.
