It honestly feels a little like you stumbled into a hidden spot on vacation. The food was solid across the board. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving, everything tasted fresh, not heavy or overdone. The menu has a great mix, from burgers to pasta and seafood, so it's easy to find something no matter what you're in the mood for. The shrimp and grits and the pasta dishes are delicious , and even the appetizers were on point. Service was just as good, friendly, attentive, but not hovering. You don't feel rushed, which is rare these days. What really makes this place though is the vibe. Whether you sit inside or out, it's got that relaxed, slightly upscale but still comfortable feel. If you're in Fairhope and want somewhere that feels local (not touristy), this is it. Easy 5 stars. Will definitely go back!!

We were in Fairhope for the day and chose to eat lunch here after reading reviews…read more We were seated right away and all the staff are very friendly. It was a nice day so we sat outside in a cool little ally. We started with bruschetta which was great. Not what we think of but delicious. For entrees I went with the meatball sub wife went with the arugula pecan salad with ahi, son got Cesar with ahi and daughter got the flatbread which was a caprese. Everyone loved their entrees. The only negative was the meatballs were a little dry. Would definitely go back though.

We had an impromptu bridal lunch yesterday with my niece. We had a table full of generations of…read morefamily girls to celebrate with her. It was so fun for all of us to be together. We told stories and laughed through lunch. We had the absolute very best waiter named Alex. He was truly amazing. He superbly took care of each one of us. When he brought out the checks, he handed my niece a card and she began to cry. She soon passed the card around and we were all crying. Alex had handwritten a long note to her, giving her the best and most thoughtful words about marriage. He encouraged the new couple to always keep God in their home, let God lead your life and they would be blessed. We were all 100% amazed and all blessed beyond measure by the words he shared. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. We left there with more than full tummies, our hearts were pretty full too. ALEX WAS THE BEST!

The food was absolutely wonderful! We had the kindest waitress, but were also served by many who worked there. Janice was extremely personable, as well as everyone else! They made us feel right at home in a place we've never been, as well as a state we've never visited. I highly recommend the Red Fish! Wonderful wonderful. The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce were fabulous. I loved the Pier Pressure drink, very refreshing! I absolutely loved this place and glad it was my first ever stop in Alabama! These people and this food will not leave you disappointed, but smiling and satisfied!

We've been here several times in the year we've lived in Fairhope.

Love the atmosphere when we've visited in person. The burger MADE me write a review. Can't wait to have one there. Guess I'll get gizzards to go...

Pork was delicious and the bacon is tasty!…read more There's an unusual dessert combining bacon and brownies topped with cherries. Sounds odd, but it was interesting mix of sweet and savory. Servers are young and appear to be learning to keep customers happy. The setting is very casual with separate seating areas: outdoor, bar, and indoor spaces.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch after touring the USS Alabama. We were told the wait would be…read more30 minutes but checked open table and could immediately get a reservation. (I recommend doing that, especially during lunch.) One of my good friends sent recommendations. My husband got the French dip. I hesitate calling it a poboy because I'm from NOLA, and outside south Louisiana, it's just a sandwich . I got the grilled shrimp lunch special with fries. Honestly, spend a little more and get the platter. I'd get them fried, but I can't have gluten. I risked cross contamination and got the fries. They were absolutely worth it. Fortunately, I didn't have a reaction. Trevor was our server, and he was excellent. You could tell he knew the regulars and locals based on how he'd approach new diners. He also gave really good recommendations. The vegetable of the day was a casserole, and Trevor told my husband that was better than the fries. My husband inhaled that casserole. If you're an Elvis fan, request to sit at the table. Overall, I'd definitely come back. For being on Open Table, just know this is a casual restaurant on the bay. Nothing frilly - just good, southern cooking. We will be back!

Service…read morewas a highlight--staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. That said, the food was a bit of a mixed experience. The chargrilled oysters unfortunately came with quite a bit of shell, which made them difficult to enjoy--though we did manage to find some actual pearl in there, so small win and fun! The grilled fish and shrimp were noticeably overcooked, and my husband's fried shrimp leaned the same way, lacking that fresh, tender bite you hope for. Sides were decent but didn't particularly stand out for my grilled dinner. Husband said slaw and hush puppies were good, my green beans were delicious. Overall, it's a lovely place with great service, but the kitchen execution didn't quite match the setting. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a standout spot.

Now l've been in this industry for over 35 years…read moreand I can tell you this, whenever someone orders nachos I expect them to have melted cheese on them. I don't like liquid cheese, never have, and I asked the server if I could have just the jack cheese that they said was on it so l'm assuming it's melted, wrong. There was melted cheddar cheese, but I asked for that on the side assuming I was getting the jack cheese melted on it. Well, apparently the spicy jack cheese was sprinkled on top and it looked like Parmesan and no cheese melted inside. My husband ordered cheese sticks and omg the marinara was cold like it had just come out of the fridge and the cheese sticks weren't even hot just luke warm. The beer was nice and cold! I usually love Beef o Brady's but that ruined it for me!
