For us, happiness comes from the little things in life. Things such as being able to order pancakes all day long and wash it down with a root beer float. We’ve already waxed poetic about our excitement for the Sunliner Diner in Gulf Shores, but now that we’ve spent many a breakfast, lunch, and dinner taste testing as much of the menu as physically possible, we feel more than compelled to explain why you need to spend your next meal out doing the same.
1950s Charm to Boot
From the moment you pull into the parking lot at Sunliner Diner, you’ll feel like you’ve traveled back in time. You can’t miss the 1957 Skyliner hard top convertible parked out front, but that’s not the only vehicle to get car lovers’ hearts pumping. Inside, is a 1952 Ford convertible which serves as a booth. Bright lights, music from the era, and all of the decor is true swing back in time to the 50’s
The shining light of the atmosphere is the efficient waitstaff who, donned in their 1950s garb, expertly guide you through the newspaper menu, daily specials, and even the occasional sock hop.
Must-Try Dishes
Sometimes you just need some breakfast food. And sometimes, that need hits at 12:00 in the afternoon or 7:30 at night. Whatever time your bacon, egg, pancake, waffle, or biscuit craving strikes, the breakfast all day menu at Sunliner Diner has you covered.
Meanwhile, the dessert menu features all of your diner favorites done right. You’ll find uniquely flavored banana splits like strawberry shortcake, epic milkshakes big enough to share, delicious cakes, a classic slice of pie, and a myriad of decadent sundaes. Looking to kick things up a notch? Grab a boozy milkshake or choose an old-fashioned classic cream soda or float (it’s what all the cool cats would do).
Not to be outdone, lunch and dinner options are equally perfect. Hot chicken, melts, reubens, burgers, fried chicken, steak, catfish, cheese fries, hot dogs…the list goes on and on. The hardest part of dining at Sunliner Diner is deciding what to order!
