“This year's stay at Perdido Beach Resort was our first stay since change of ownership. The scenery was exquisite as always, and we noticed new additions to family friendly activities ! There's still many renovations in the world , but none that interfered with the atmosphere we enjoy during our stays. Many new faces , most of which had big smiles for all visitors . There were a few faces we missed, both entertainers ,& family members. There were only three of us this year. My mother who's 87yrs old & disabled, my 79yo aunt with late stage Parkinson's ,& myself, also disabled , but thankfully, can still be the designated driver of our little family. Apparently,my spinal & knee disabilities were perceived by 1 waiter as alcohol induced. I had went down to the bar ,with plans of purchasing a bottle of wine & rejoining my family in our room. We were actually in the Coastal Art Museum Hot Shop blown glass class,that morning & visiting family, since this was possibly the last chance we'll ever have to all vacation together. My recent spinal surgery affects my gait & ability to stand up quickly.It can cause me to vear left about 45,°& at times, cause uncontrolled arm tremors.I will be wheelchair bound within the next couple years, so I'm trying to enjoy the little time I can still stand without assistance, no matter how clumsy it may look. Although we had recently returned to the resort ,(after our day out ,with no alcohol,) when I arrived at the piano bar, Oveino, told his supervisor Matthew, I was inebriated , & refused to sell me a bottle of wine for my room. Life, & vacation with loved ones is way too short to argue with rude misinformed people , so I went to the PBResort store, steps away from the piano bar, & bought my bottle of wine to take back to my room. I did bring half a glass of wine from my room , from the night before , so maybe he assumed I'd been drinking before I arrived .But as mentioned,I'm the only designated driver & don't 'day'drink . The next night ,being the last of our short stay this year, I wanted to insure there were no issues ,in having a nice evening with my family . Again, life's too short , so I verified with the reception desk, as well as the store employees, that purchases from the store were fine to eat & drink in the piano bar .This seem to be a problem with the same employee , but I informed him as nicely as possible, that I had already confirmed,our presence & items from the store were perfectly acceptable in the piano bar ,& he could verify my purchases & permission from those employees. Also , I would love the names of the valets who assisted us each day. We did not carry around cash, but had intended to tip each of the wonderful valets ,at the end of our stay. Unfortunately, we only saw one of these galant gentlemen before leaving. I would love to send each of them a gift card with their tips for the week. We would have never made it without them. Thank you so very much. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit ,except for the already mentioned incidents & disregard of my medical condition. But I have always enjoyed my visits at PBR & would love to see the total remodel, if I'm still able to travel .(And hopefully the piano ladies will be on the music lineup,as well. I've always enjoyed their entertainment!)Every person at the reception desk, the PBR store, the cleaning staff , & every one of the valets , along with Jesse ,the guitar man , were phenomenal. They were professional , very kind & friendly,& treated my family with respect ! Next time , I will bring a note from my doctor , & my uncle, who's a Law Enforcement Officer, with his breathalyzer , as proof of my ability to hit the elevator button...LOL. (I was afraid I'd offend Ovenio by pronouncing his name wrong (& have probably spelled it incorrectly in this review), so I told him I'd call him Dr O~ because at the end of the day, my nightcaps, are wh”
“Great local restaurant locally sourced food. Outdoor seating is nice in the fall when the weather is cooler. A little warm for the summer.”
“Excellent food and service! Tyler B was so knowledgeable about gluten free options and his recommendations were delicious. The bronzed grouper dish was amazing! Recommend!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This place is one of my favorites. Always great food, pleasant atmosphere, and great service. The four of us dined October 31, 2025 and had a wonderful meal served by Brian and capped off with crème brûlée. Outstanding.”
“We absolutely LOVE Old Salt Tavern! Food was fantastic, service was super friendly!! Had to wait a little bit for food, however, it was a Friday night and super busy!! They apologized profusely and honestly, it wasn’t a big deal because they had live music that was amazing!! We will be visiting every single vacay to Orange Beach!!”

“Exceptional. Holiday weekend. Positive and great service from the host to the servers to management who you could see was actively involved. As somebody who worked in the restaurant industry it literally makes me happy to see that. The food was ready quick, hot, fresh, and delicious. The space was clean as clean can be. We will always come back here. Kudos to this place because they are doing it right. Rare to get both good service and good food from a restaurant these days, but the folks on this shift nailed it.”
“We originally ordered with door dash for an easy Friday night dinner. Later to realize there was a fluke of some sort and they don’t do door dash. I called the restaurant and spoke with the sweetest young lady. Placed an order for pickup and I can say it took all of 10 mins to get there and our order was ready. We ordered bbq wings, which my husband said were the absolute best he has ever had. I ordered the Loaded bbq tater plate and let me tell yall.. 👏 fabulous! The bbq was sooo good and so is their sauce. I had the banana pudding as a side and that was purely amazing! Different. Like a secret recipe your Grandmama made for Sunday lunch. If wings and a loaded potato along with dessert were that great… we are eager to try everything else they serve. Such as their ribs. Five stars from us! Cannot wait to eat here again!”
“The açaí bowl was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. It’s clear that they take pride not only in the quality of their food but also in creating a positive experience for their customers. Great service, great atmosphere, and great food. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Orange Beach!”
“My daughter and I were there with her 10yr old golden. Of course we asked for outside seating, and were told an hour wait. Hostess did not get my phone # correct so when I didn’t get the welcome text I went back in. Another hostess changed it and neither one apologized for their mistake. Never broke a smile. Sooo we wait, and wait. Watched so many be brought in who clearly had not been there longer than us, empty outside tables with no one sitting there. I went back to the hostess stand to see how much longer, “it could be 3min or 15”, really. We finally got a table after an hour and 35min. We were put at the table next to the steps coming out on the patio, while there were two more tables open on the outside corner of the patio. Out of the line of traffic. Our golden was almost stepped on several times (one being the rude hostess) and the constant jarring of the ppl coming up and down the steps was very annoying. Imagine trying to enjoy a meal that you have waited two hours for and your table bouncing around. Our waitress was great and the food was excellent! Hostesses need to learn some manners as to how to be polite.”
“i love Tacky jacks but i was very disappointed in the mexican Garbage that i got as a too go order this tie because the Gulf Shores Tack Jacks had more cheese and toppings on it and i was expecting that from The Orange Beach Tacky Jacks so i will be ordering from Gulf Shores from now on”
“My favorite spot in OBA. It’s my go to spot every time I come to visit my sister. Drinks are amazing. Every staff member treats us special. Cutest pink decor even the bathroom is its own experience! 5 stars isn’t enough for Gulf Babe.”
“The service was top notch. Our waiter Travis was amazing. He had an amazing smile, really listening , made us laugh. Made us feel like a priority . Will definitely be coming back”

“OMG Sooooo good. Great Calamari. Crab Cakes were delicious. My daughter got the Blackened Cobia. She loved it. Ticket for 2 with tax n tip $128.00 Totally worth it for a splurge. It was my daughter's birthday and we were headed to the Wharf for a concert. At the concert I was trying to stay awake. Felt so full. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars.”

“So I wouldn’t not recommend it, it wasn’t terrible to where we couldn’t eat our food, we were just very disappointed. We went based on reviews and the pictures and our food just was not what was pictured or talked about in reviews. There is New York style thin crust and then there is cracker thin crust, our pizza was cracker thin crust and I’m not a fan. Their “hand breaded” boneless wings were comparable to tyson frozen boneless wings and looked nothing like what was in the pictures. Their ranch tasted and looked like bottled ranch and not home made ranch which was also disappointing. Again, not angry or anything, just very disappointed. Reviews and pictures are very misleading. It was quick and easy and the staff was very nice.”
“You never know what will happen when you walk into a restaurant in a party of 15. MM 158 did not disappoint, though! In fact, the servers and the food were great! There was a kitchen mixup and one person's order was delayed so the waitress comp'd it. No need, though. It was delish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Delicious drinks and food! Offered to accommodate my gluten free allergy. Have THE best Cesar salad dressing! The grilled chicken was perfect and the chicken wings with the Alabama sauce was delish! Perfect view of the bay. Come by boat if you prefer! Bring your pup! Highly recommend.”
“Love love love having Kilwjns in our community!! I needed a last minute gift for clients, something spectacular that would really wow them and Alana was on it!! She made it happen in record time, she was so sweet and helpful and created a delightful sweet treat surprise for my clients that was not only beautiful but knocked their socks off!! Again - so glad this shop is right here in Orange Beach!! Thank you Kilwins!”
“We went for a late breakfast after googling for a breakfast place. I'm so glad we did. Our omelets (western and Philly cheese steak) were delicious and the coffee was heavenly. Definitely stopping there on our way home, because their coffee and banana French toast are calling to me.”
“We are a large family. They sat us quickly and we had a wonderful experience. Carson was our server and he did an excellent job. He was kind to our kids, kept the chips and salsa flowing, was attentive without being too chatty, and was all around a GREAT server. All of us enjoyed our food and the kids portions were larger than expected. We will definitely be back!”
“Thank you guys so much for the fabulous experience! I was a little skeptical at first, but the experience from the hostess to our waitress was great! I had the crab and shrimp combo. The flavor was awesome! The dipping butter kind of took away from the fabulous flavor. I'm a steamer fan from now on!”
“Excellent food. Superb service. Very friendly staff Richard wasAMAZING. Can't wait to go back. 10/10 recommend”
“Love this place! Our favorite sushi in town and easily the best service we’ve encountered in Orange Beach! We love coming to Nami because their food is delicious and they make you feel like family each time you come. Their commitment to ensuring you have an amazing experience every time is incredible. They also do a great job of accommodating our gluten sensitivity which we really appreciate. Go check them out- you’ll be glad you did!”

“Planet Smoothie in Orange Beach was the perfect stop after spending time in the Alabama heat. The smoothie was cold, fresh, and refreshing, with plenty of flavors and options to choose from. The service was friendly and quick, and the location was clean and welcoming.
It’s a great place to cool down, grab a lighter breakfast, or enjoy something refreshing after the beach. We would definitely stop here again during our next visit to Orange Beach”

“This was my first time having them and they definitely left a lasting impression and taste! My sandwich was soooo good. It was put together so nicely and with nice portions of everything. Very fulfilling! The staff was absolutely wonderful and even took the time to watch a video to make sure I got what I was looking for when I thought they would have it or be able to do it. They were super patient and kind. The building is clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. 10 outta 10 easily and will definitely be visiting again when we are in the area.”
“Stopped for lunch today,great service and drinks. Some there picked up our tab-if you see this THANK YOU -southern strong !!”
“Fabulous way to cap off the evening. Great drinks, piano and friendly staff. Highly recommended!”
“Popped in to check them out and found a very comfortable spot with a nice selection. Walked out with a South African Pinot noir, a red burgundy from chassagne-Montrachet (kinda rare)and a 2011 Sauternes ! This is the place to go while in Orange beach. Great prices great selection great location”
“If you want THE BEST crab legs in Orange Beach THIS is the place!!!! Our meal and service was amazing and we will definitely be back!”

“My husband & I ate here for lunch around 1pm. Only one family was in the restaurant at the time which caused some concern however, the food was 💯% absolutely fabulous! We had ChaCha's Crab Dip, Salad Bar, 14 Oz. Steak with Loaded Baked Potato & Sea Scallops with Fried Okra which was all cooked as well as seasoned to perfection.”
“We had the best filet mignon ever at Cotton's. It was tender and flavorful and it maintained the moisture all the way to the last bite. We will always put Cotton's on our agenda when we visit the area again.”
