re: Best places to eat in Orange Beach

In no particular order:
Big Fish (sushi/Asian fusion)
La Lagniappe (my fave)
Fisher’s (upscale)
Sauced for pizza
Voyagers (in perdido beach resort)

Anchor Bar & Grill, is one of our favorites. It’s a really neat restaurant made out of an old pirate ship. It has a killer view, and since it’s on the water, you can either boat up or drive your vehicle to it. It has a smaller menu, but everything on it is Solid! A lot of locals go here, and it’s a great escape from all the “tourist-trap” restaurants. Check it out!

Skip the food and just drink.

^this. Overall, Orange Beach doesn't offer much in terms of quality food. Find a grill and do your own. Or keep it simple and get raw oysters from Acme (if the wait is not too long)

Lillians Pizza

All time fave.
However, been closed for awhile.

Big Fish and The Gulf are out two favorites.

Waffle house

Probably get some steamed shrimp from Blalocks for our room, and eat out at Bahama Bobs this weekend.

King Neptune’s. A Gulf Shores institution, was bought buy a New Orleans native about a year ago with huge upgrade in food quality. Secretly has because a great place for classic seafood.

Lots of good suggestions, but in case you get to page two, here's my take:

Ambience: cobalt. Sit outside. happy hour is not too bad on the wall that either

Simple food and a chill setting: the Gulf-the grouper sandwich in the burger are pretty damn good, and a great place to bring kids. Alcohol is expensive

Happy hour: big fish or cosmo's. I can't remember which, but one of them has a really good beer selection, think it's cosmos. They are sister restaurants next door to each other

Fine dining: Fishers upstairs, though downstairs is solid, food is excellent, and very chill.

Overrated, but still pretty good: playa and Doc's

Heard they're awesome, but have not been yet: sauce, and Steph's, the new restaurant to the left of walmart. Used to be Franco's italian, but it's something else now. Heard good things about both

Brunch: brick and spoon. Fork and Finn used to win this award, but they moved to Pensacola

Worth the excursion: some great options that are 45 minute drive away in Pensacola-


the aforementioned Fin and Fork
Maguire's Irish pub, well known but really cool, huge portions of great bar food and inexpensive.
Joe patti's, even if you're not going to eat there it's worth checking out. You can eat some prepared food there, have them cook your seafood fresh, or take it home and cook it yourself.
Gulf Coast brewing, neat little spot to grab a beer or two and take a growler back with you
