    Food was outstanding, service was outstanding, atmosphere was outstanding. Nice place to go enjoy a meal. I was kind of surprised that the sound level in the building was so good being that there was tin ceilings. I could carry on a conversation my wife with no problem hearing her even with the restaurant being crowded, that really stood out to me. Erica did a fantastic job.

    We decided to spend the last night of my birthday vacation at Big Mike's Steakhouse on the recommendation of my dad. We got there around 6:45 and it was PACKED and we were told that for our party of four, there would be a two hour wait. We anticipated this so we put our name in and went back to our condo only to return within about an hour to find that we were next on the list to be sat. The hostesses were awesome! We get to our table and our server Erica greeted us promptly and took our drink and apps orders. We tried the Fried Onion Strings and the Fried Mozzarella Wedges. The onion strings came out piping hot and were paired with this sort of kick-ass comeback sauce. Absolutely delicious. The wedges were kind of cold in the middle and sadly, no cheese pull at all. Still good mozzarella though. Next up was probably the best side salad I've ever had. Simply done, but well executed; and that blue cheese dressing was on point. Then came the best steak I've had in a long time. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked to a superb medium rare. Melt in your mouth ribeye perfection. Well marbled. Absolutely excellent. And the loaded baked potato was a stand out, too. Then Erica, who served us so well and kept our drinks full the entire time, brought out a fried bread pudding for my birthday dessert, and when I tell you we couldn't have ended the meal any better, I mean it. 5 stars all around from top to bottom. Will most definitely be back next time I'm in Orange Beach. You MUST try Big Mike's!!!

    Wow! Drove by this on our way in for the week and the place was PACKED- put it on the list to try. Expect longer wait times, but it's worth it! (Our wait was 1 hour/1.5 hours on Monday night at 7pm... and Line halfway out the parking lot at 5pm on a Tuesday when driving past again). Food options for everyone- steaks, seafood, combos, salads, chicken, etc. They start you out with warm bread and the best butter to top- think homemade butter with honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Yum! I got the filet, with sweet potatoes and asparagus. I got the added topper of smothered- which was herb butter with caramelized onions and mushrooms. The rest of the group did the ribeye and did the "split" option, to have their own sides. They have other toppers they tried that was lump crap in a creamy sauce. They homemake their ranch and thousand island for the salad dressings. The steaks were so flavorful and grilled to perfection. The filet melted in your mouth. Sweet potato was topped with butter and brown sugar. Asparagus was buttered and cooked perfect! Sad I didn't snap more pictures but I didn't have a chance! Wanted to dive in!

    Good food ,service and rustic steakhouse ambiance.. tried seared tuna and a filet m.. both cooked nicely and tasty. Tried the fried filet bites app: too salty and bready. Overall $50 for filet and 30 for other mains.. 2 sides with entree so next time I would skip the appetizer. They also bring out a hot loaf of pumpernickel bread with cinnamon butter gratis-which was delicious.

    This is an old-school steakhouse - not a ton of frills and they put their effort into doing a few things the right way rather than 1000 things mediocre. The steaks were very well cooked and tender, I would prefer just a bit more salt/seasoning, but keeping it simple as good also. for sides you get either a baked potato or french fries and a house salad, very traditional. They do have some other sides you can choose from. We got the char grill oysters, which were also very delicious. For dessert, we got the bread, pudding, and I highly recommend getting the ice cream as the waiter suggested. It was very good and enough to feed the 3 of us. They don't take reservations so the wait can be a while, we got there about 30 minutes after they opened and only had a 10 minute wait. If you are looking for a good authentic steakhouse, this is a great choice.

    Listen the wait is crazy! Even in the rain the wait was an hour but it wad well worth it. Massive steaks cook to perfection. Don't let the wait deter you just sit in your car and wait. We will definitely eat there again on our next vacation.

    So let's start this one off the night I went it was remotely busy, but my expectation of restaurants is they're prepared when they see you if they're shortstaffed you may have to wait a little longer for a table that should be an indication that they're not ready. With that said the food was excellent. The onion rings were awesome. The bread was good. The steak was amazing. The service was not good. The drink was OK. Those last two really had a strong impact on my visit based on the food itself this would've been a four possibly even a five star review, but with the service it brings them down to a two.

    Judge for yourself, this was our experience... We arrived at 8:50pm. We were seated around 9:15. The server did not come to our table until 9:35 to check in with us. 20 minutes looking at a one sided menu. We went ahead and ordered our food with the servers first visit to the table to try and expedite the process and we did not receive the food at our table until after closing time. So before we got the food, they were preparing tables to close up for the night making us feel a little rushed. The steaks were just ok. Depending on how much seasoning you'd like...if you don't like seasoning then you will love the steaks. They're were cooked to perfection though. Overall it was just a bad experience for us visiting this place and I doubt we will be back unfortunately.

    Big Mike's is the Chicfila of Steakhouses. They do it right from start to finish. No reservations but this is where they thrive. When arriving you check in with the host stand who takes down your number to alert you when your table is ready. They'll provide you with an estimated wait time but not to worry if its long, there is a whole waiting deck that has a miniature bar with some tasty signature cocktails. The best part; they also take appetizer orders! This really keeps the tables turning as many customers have already had a bite to eat and a drink or two before sitting down to actually dine. Our waitress was very kind, attentive and quick. We had a nice evening. Food was delicious. They really have a plan when their doors open and do it well. It's worth a visit for a night out with a hungry family. You will leave stuffed!

Our waitress was quiet and seemed very busy with multiple tables. For appetizers, we ordered the fried quail knots and a bowl of soup. For dinner, we ordered the duroc pork chop and 10 oz filet. For sides, we ordered Bayside Blue Mac and Potato Hash. Overall, everything was VERY rich and decadent, heavy. The pork chop was tough, the filet was very thick and tough, the sides were salty, saucy, and heavy. Overall, the resort is nice and the view inside the restaurant is pretty but the food was too heavy and rich for my liking.

Love that pimento cheese ball appetizer with that blueberry pepper jelly! For lunch, I had the meat and three. It was all good, especially the collard greens. SERVICE THIS WAS MAYBE SOME OF THE BEST SERVICE I HAD THE WHOLE TIME I WAS IN ORANGE BEACH THIS WEEKEND. OUR SERVER WAS SO AMAZING. I HATE THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME, BUT SHE WAS ON TOP OF IT AND SUPER DELIGHTFUL. DRINKS The bar area looked really nice. Most of my table had iced tea which everybody enjoyed. I also got a beer from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I was very impressed by their beer selection and they are a verified venue on the Untappd app so you can go to that app to look at all the beer selection and even filter and sort the beers so that you can have an easier time selecting the proper beverage.

Unfortunately my fish and potatoes were cold, cold and butter congealed. The greens were warm and good I had also ordered the cornbread. It was refreshing to see that it wasn't the usual cake like kind, plus not the ultra sweet kind either. More bread like with a hint of sweetness. Delicious. The fish and potatoes had a nice flavor but unfortunately the cold food spoiled the experience. Since I was a guest of my sister I didn't say anything about the cold food. What a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be better.

I felt he was being sarcastic but other than that he was fine. All the staff we encountered were nice. Mom and I ordered the fried shrimp. I love shrimp so it was a no brainer for me.

Bad: They fried the stuffed crab shells, looked like toasted ravioli from St. Louis. Over cooked and dry. Chicken tender appetizer was a nice portion size but tasted awful.

If you want your tea or soda to taste good you might want to order water. Our drinks were watery and had too much ice. Cola was see through, sweet tea very weak and watery. Ambiance: if it's cool enough to eat outdoors do so. Inside is a dreary grey with black tables and overall feeling of depression it's so dark. If you are getting a steak they seem to do that well. Otherwise would not recommend.

Cobalt clearly doesn't give a crap whether or not you come back or leave a bad review.

We won't be back, and I strongly suggest that anyone with a large party avoid Cobalt.
