Only one mile from the public beach in sunny Gulf Shores, Alabama is the popular buffet joint Hazel’s Nook Restaurant. Open since 1957, Hazel’s Nook transports visitors to a simple diner much as it appeared decades ago. Plus, they serve some pretty stellar buffets and a simple menu of southern homestyle favorites.

The breakfast buffet comes with everything you’d expect, including bacon, eggs, sausage, and biscuits. A fruit bar keeps things more balanced as you start your day with a hefty meal.

Save room in your breakfast bonanza for the omelet bar! If you’re just interested in a build-your-own omelet, you can order it off the menu rather than opting for the entire buffet.
