No entrée is complete without delicious side dishes. Customers return year after year for the famous bread baskets and fresh seafood options at DeSoto’s Seafood Kitchen, but many loyal customers would say choosing sides is their favorite part of the experience!
We’ve been keeping score by reading social media comments, along with Yelp and Google reviews, to help us pick a side. Our decision? We’ll take one of each, please.
The Favorites
Customers from all over the country stop by Desoto’s Facebook, Yelp and Google profiles to leave rave reviews about favorite side dishes. A few of the most talked about options might surprise you—like au gratin potatoes. Sure, we love potatoes as much as the next person, but enough to take the time to review them on social media? You better believe it.

Do you love Southern classics? The reviews roll in month after month highlighting the “amazing” sweet potato casserole. People also say they wish they could take home bulk orders of the macaroni and cheese from their Gulf Shores and Orange Beach vacation.
Other popular sides include the fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, and crispy corn fritters.
The Staples
Even the menu staples, found on many local eateries’ menus, receive excellent customer reviews. Customers often say they prefer to order more than two sides because they’re simply not able to choose from the impressive list at DeSoto’s.
The steamed veggies and coleslaw are top favorites, along with the fresh fried okra, turnip greens, and green beans.
The Starters
We also couldn’t help but notice how much attention the appetizers receive when customers discuss their dining experience. We can’t decide what we enjoy more—the Coconut Shrimp dipped in a unique beer batter; the Tuna Dip served with toasted French bread; or the Southern-style crab cakes served with Desoto’s house-made remoulade sauce.
