20 Best American Restaurants in Orange Beach

“The girls and I just ate there. It was so good. we had the smoked tuna dip as an appetizer. Then our orders of shrimp tacos, grouper tacos, and the blackened shrimp dinner were very good. Our waitress was great. We highly recommend this little hidden gem. We will be back.“

“Great coffee, food, and ambiance. I love this place!“

“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.“

“The food was super good, had the wagyu appetizer very tasty and sipped some wine and espresso martinis with my girl. They had a ton of wine selections and all sorts of drinks on menu. We also had the steak, she got the filet mignon which was great and I had the hanging sirloin n man were they both so good paired with the bleu cheese sauce. Also had a super knowledgeable waiter Rusty he knew all the best recommendations and fun facts. 10/10“

“Great food! Isis was a great waitress! Loved the insults!“

“We had a large order and they got our order out fast, hot and accurately. We were asked to pull forward to allow the drive through to continue moving while they finished our order which included shakes, ice creams, burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries and chili cheese fries. I only waited a few minutes and the manager delivered to the car and was very polite. I had the butter burger and it was delicious! Everyone else also enjoyed their food, customizable ice cream is nice and also delicious!“

“💯 We usually just get their ice cream, but we stopped here and had their burger and BLT combos before we went to our movie. Our kids said their meal was better than The Hangout and these are the best fries in town! Nice and friendly service too!“

“We got there at 9pm, thinking they closed at 10. They close at 9:30 on Sundays. They were SO kind to us. The owner/manager came out to our table to make sure everything was to our liking, our waitress was amazing. We got the red snapper, surf and turf, sushi, lobster Mac and firecracker shrimp. Everything was delicious. The macaroni by itself on the surf & turf plate was the best Mac and cheese I have ever had. Lobster Mac was amazing. Steak was perfectly cooked. The fish was the best I’ve ever had. The way they told us we could stay as long as we like. We were tired from the beach so we left about 9:40 but wow, I’ll never forget this place! Instead of being annoyed, they treated us like gold.“

“The food was great my family loved it and the service was excellent. The only problem was the 45 minute wait but it was because it was so packed 10/10 would recommend“

“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.“

“Such a great restaurant inside of this wonderful resort! We ate here several times on our stay during the summer. The service was fast, the staff were friendly and the food was always fresh and so delicious with filling portion sizes! My husband tried his 1st ever chicken n waffles here!“

“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.“

“Best meal of our whole vacation! The food was amazing, and our server Axel was the absolute best—super friendly, attentive, and helpful. He made the experience even better. Definitely coming back next time we’re in town!“

“Mile Marker 158 is a hidden gem! The food is amazing. The bread that was brought out before our meal was wonderful. It was nice and warm and the strawberry butter, oh my! My husband and I enjoyed the fish of the day, grouper, with gouda smashed potatoes, green beans topped with lemon beurre blanc. My fish was grilled and my husband's was blackened. The fish was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The green beans were crisp and delicious. We shared a slice of key lime pie that was nice and tart, and had just the right amount of sweetness. You don't want to miss this place. Melissa took excellent care of us.“

“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!“

“REALLY good breakfast! Everyone at our table was very happy and full! My husband had the seasonal hash with Brussel sprouts. He said it was phenomenal, one had the fritter French toast and he couldn’t say enough about how great it was. A couple had the hash brown Benedict with upgraded grits and loved it. I had the sunrise spinach scrambler, yummy! I read that negative review and am shocked by it. When 6 people at our table all had such good food I don’t know how that person got such a bad meal. One person at our table didn’t like the sausage but another said it was delicious. All taste buds are different. We had excellent service from Angela and we will visit again.“

“Stopped in for a beer and a burger. Wound up listens to the awesome band after the football game.“

“Was told they had the best burger in Baldwin County. Being from the Midwest, I know a good burger when I eat one. This was one of them. O. M. G. Simply amazing. Yes, the place is a hole in the wall. Yes, they allow smoking. Who cares when the food is this good?! Don’t sleep on the Philly either. It was pretty good as well. Cindy was so kind and friendly. Enjoyed talking with her. We will be back on our next trip down.“

“we recently went here for my Husband's birthday. Nicole was our awesome waitress. The whole place sang Happy birthday🥳. food was great and fast service. The cook ( didn't catch his name) went above and beyond and made fresh gravy, it was on point. we will be back, before we leave. 😃🙂🙃😉“

“My husband and I with a whole bunch of friends ate there while we were staying at the Wharf. Absolute great food, and their staff were amazing!! Definitely will be back!!!!“
