Mugshots Grill and Bar - Foley, AL

"OMG I'm so happy to see them here. The food is outstanding. The service was great. This place is clean and a nice investment. The garlic burger is sooo amazing!!!"

"Maple was an awesome server! The Mac n cheese burger is Big but tasted so good! The Sunset swirl frozen drink was also delicious !"

"Mugshots, thy name is mediocrity. Other than the personable, friendly server my party had, there was nothing remarkable about my first experience at this restaurant. And that's quite a feat considering the menu has some truly interesting burgers and sandwiches on it. If my initial expectation is any indication, this is going to be a good concept marred by bland execution. At least the one thing Mugshots seems to take the most pride in, their sourdough bread, is a real winner. The buns are soft and pliable without being gummy, and more brioche like sweetness than tangy sourdough. Whether you're getting a burger, a chicken sandwich or something else, the bread won't let you down. The hamburger meat, on the other hand, will absolutely let you down. It's not that it's bad per se, it's just... so average as to be unremarkable. Maybe they were counting on the toppings to punch up the wow factor but so far in my limited tasting they aren't anything special, either. The hickory smoked bacon is just fine, but it's skimpy in quantity and quality for what they charge. These various cheeses on the burgers I saw were tiny little sad bits of industrial quality faff. Maybe in Podunk Mississippi (where I lived for a while, so I know) this would be a home run. But Foley has tons of great burger places, everything from the greasy diner burger at Fish River Grill to the high end fancy burger at places like Cosmo's in Orange Beach. You gotta bring your A-game to compete with burgers here; this is C-level at best. Average. Unremarkable. I did at least try a non-burger sandwich and it was pretty good but again, unremarkable against stiff competition. The Buffalo-sauced Brisco Inferno geatured crispy fried chicken tenders that were fat and juicy, and a tangy but not at all hot "Buffalo Jack's Wang" sauce, which, phrasing, guy... Was it good? Yeah. Was it great? Nah. It was... Average. See a trend here? Like so many others I also had a 'kitchen snafu' that caused a bit of a headache for our great server, but the place is still pretty new and I guess it takes a while for the kinks to get worked out. Overall, it was fine. Just fine. Nothing special. It was neither oddly cheap or frustratingly too expensive. It was neither wonderfully delicious nor trash. It just was. There are enough burger and sandwich types to at least encourage me to come back and try again, but if everything else is as so-so as what I've seen so far, it won't be a part of my family's regular rotation."

"This place is awesome. Good was great. Very reasonable prices. We had appetizer, two burgers, and a desert and it was only 46 bucks. Highly recommend."

"Was there the second day after grand opening. We were seated immediately and food arrived very fast. Our server was great and all the staff seemed to know what they were doing and everything seemed to be running smoothly."
