Fast and friendly service. We took our food to go and it was great, even though we didn't eat it for about twenty minutes or so after picking it up. My sister and I shared beef tenderloin bites and Grouper Pontchartrain and we enjoyed every bite. We will definitely come back when we're in town. Also, the outdoor seating area was really nice and they accommodate dogs. That's where we'd love to sit if we dined in! read more

Good food, excellent service and quaint atmosphere on the canal. Was able to accommodate party of 9 and provide separate bills. read more

This restaurant is a bit of a secret as it is on the other side of The Wharf which doesn't have as much bling bling stuff going on. Mile Marker 158 Dockside is part of the SpringHill Suites Hotel and it has a great location right next to the water. You can eat out on the patio to fully enjoy the water view but I'm opting for the nice inside with air conditioning. So far I've had mostly great experiences with the food and service here. My most recent visit was when they were slammed with multiple events going on and the service seemed very understaffed and strained but they still got my food out very fast and still were able to provide decent service to me despite all the chaos going on. So this one exception to all my past great experiences was certainly understandable under the conditions of the time. Their house-made strawberry butter served with their fresh bread makes this spot worth a visit! read more

Went for dinner with my family. 7 of us. We had an early dinner at 4:30. They were very accommodating with where we wanted to sit and sat us right away. We had looked at the happy hour menus and specials before going and we were excited. Apparently there was an event going on and they don't do any specials during events. The waitress, Leslie, was great! So nice and accommodating and checked on us often. We ordered calamari and the trio of baked oysters. Oysters were great. The calamari I sent back. It was soggy, pale in color and tasteless. As we were waiting for our food the fire alarm went off. It was so loud. They had to get the fire department to come shut it off but we couldn't stay and wait because it was giving us a headache. I know that part isn't their fault and again Leslie was great. We wanted to settle our bill but I did mention I wanted to get something as compensation as I didnt. finish my drink etc. the waitress checked with her manager and comped us the whole bill! Two alcoholic drinks and the oysters. I was surprised. It's so rare to find a restaurant that has good customer service. So I wanted to highlight how they handled this. The food was ok but to be fair we didn't try much. On the way out the dining room and kitchen smelled sooooo bad of burnt rubber or something. Even if the fire alarm had gone off quickly I wouldn't have wanted to eat anything from there until they got it cleaned up. Also, my oldest daughter left her sweatshirt there and we went back hours later to get it. It still smelled awful. Not sure what happened. So A+ for customer service but the food was like a 3. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food was exceptional and the service top notch. Being right on the water gave the restaurant a relaxed vibe. We will definitely go back. read more

Well we gave it a try because we are staying at the spring hill suites where this restaurant shares space. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful outside. The tables by the wharf are really nice and allow you to enjoy the fresh breeze. The service was okay and nothing special. Unfortunately our server got the order wrong but they made it right and quickly. No big deal and the food, well some of it, saved the dinner. The grilled pineapple mahi was just not edible. Cooked to oblivion and was jerky. The risotto was flavorless and the green beans same. Now our other dish, the beef tips truffles sauce was fabulous and a portion big enough to feed us both. With so many other places to dine, I would avoid this place unless you want a glass of wine on the wharf. Or the truffle beef tips! read more

This was a dinner service, under odd conditions with a large party of 50+ people. However, from the service to the food, you wouldn't know otherwise. We weren't seated long before our lovely waitress was over to take drink orders. She was very attentive, returning with requests and refilling drinks quickly. The menu is a mix of American and Seafood options, each week night offering a different special. Also, an early bird special for $12 from 11am-6pm as well as a daily happy hour from 3-6pm including $1 oysters. I was here on a Thursday. So, I had the weekly special which was Surf & Turf, a 5oz fillet, 4 grilled shrimp, gouda mashed potatoes, and green beans. Yummy! Yum.YUM. It was delicious. AND only 22 bucks, a steal at today's prices. Honestly, everything on the menu was a reasonable price, which I loved. The inside of the restaurant as well was clean and designed nicely, offering water side outdoor seating during the warmer days. I would return to Mile Marker 158 Dockside in a heartbeat! read more

Enjoyed our visit to Mile Marker 158. My blackened grouper special was great, and my husband and our friend loved their crab cake and shrimp entrée. Service was solid--no complaints. Loved the inside decor and the outdoor vibes. read more

Okay good and moderate service, small and loud dining room. We tried it for our first night in town because it was attached to our hotel. If we could do it over I'd have gone over to Villiagios instead. We spent less there for much better food, service and ambiance. read more

If you could turn a shoulder shrug and the word "meh" into a restaurant, Mile Marker 158 would be it. It technically delivers -- but don't expect it to go the extra mile. We visited on a busy summer night and almost turned around at the door. The host stand felt like a scene from a sitcom: disorganized, flustered, and unintentionally entertaining. Staff were clearly frustrated, apologizing for the host's confusion like it was part of their job description. We had a reservation, but still waited a good bit before being acknowledged -- and we weren't the only ones side-eyeing the delay. The vibe is clean and pleasant, with decor that lands somewhere between upscale coastal dining and beachside diner. It's a little loud thanks to less-than-stellar acoustics, so don't expect an intimate whisper-over-wine vibe. Still, it's a comfortable space once you're settled in. Our server was a bright spot -- friendly, attentive, and well-versed in the menu and specials. Speaking of which, the menu is short and to the point, with options like seafood pasta and braised short ribs. Solid cocktail list, decent wines, a few craft beers -- nothing groundbreaking, but enough to keep you hydrated and happy. Now for the curveball: the food was really good. Like, unexpectedly "lick-the-plate" good. The Braised Short Ribs and Beef Tip Truffle Sacchetti were both excellent -- rich, flavorful, and beautifully cooked. The salads and desserts held their own too. Bottom line: with so many options nearby, I'm not sure I'd rush back -- but if you're staying at the hotel or looking for a low-effort meal at The Wharf that won't disappoint your taste buds, Mile Marker 158 is worth a pit stop. read more

Peaceful quiet little spot with good food, service, and outdoor seating on the water. I'm glad we found this place. We will go back again.

Came in before concert. We had a reservation. I am grateful they still make reservations even on concert nights a lot of the wharf restaurants will not. The vibe is always great, good music, lighting is good, friendly staff. There was a slight delay getting our beers. Bartenders were VERY busy making them but seemed like they needed more help. We ended up getting 2 comp beers as well as the two we ordered. Food was delicious cooked just the way we ordered. We love mile marker feels kinda like a hidden gem. read more

Excellent food and service. We had a large group of 16 and they were still great. I loved their salmon dish, but I would prefer broccoli to broccolini and will ask if I can substitute that next time. Chocolate martini for a liquid dessert was wonderful. read more

Great service, the food was absolutely amazing, and you're right on the water at the docks so the view is fantastic.

Nice atmosphere when able to sit outdoors. Somewhat limited menu. Indoors with an unpleasant smell and flies on our visit.

The food was so good. Fish was light and crispy wonderful fish sandwich. And homemade chips so fabulous delish. Service was amazing and the staff was so kind, bartender was on point perfect martini . It was my birthday and the whole staff came out to sing birthday song I was so embarrassed but it was so cool, thanks guys just made my day really sweet. Highly recommended the patio would be so lovey on a beautiful day. read more

Best food we've had in Orange Beach. It's a hidden place connected to a hotel. Wasn't busy at all which was surprising. I'm guessing people might think it's a hotel restaurant which usually isn't a good thing. The service was great and for the money the food was better than any beach restaurant we've been too. Highly recommend read more

Food is delicious and service is always outstanding. Havn't found anything on the menu that wasn't delicious.

We went at Lunch. Service was great from Beth! The fish of the day was Grouper and it was fantastic! I got blacked. It was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Others at the table got beef tortelloni, Sheppard's pie with beef tips, and the club sandwich. All items were great. Not to mention the amazing honey strawberry butter you get with the bread as a starter. read more

So my server was a GEM. I went here with my boyfriend and daughter because everyone else was crazy packed. I was surprised to find this place not so packed at 7:45. We sat outside. It's pretty if you sit by the dock. I wish I could remember my servers name. She was so great. She complimented me and my daughter. Made us feel like we were all friends. She was younger brown straight hair. But she's one of those servers that you find and you think to yourself wow I wish I could have her as a server everywhere. She gave us bread and butter. It was a special strawberry honey butter which I really enjoyed. She noticed my daughter did not and brought some regular butter for her. We ordered. My boyfriend and I like to split stuff when we go out. I asked her what her preference was out of two dishes and I went with her preference. We got the catch of the day which was grouper blackened with a mushroom risotto and some carrots. She brought it prepared on two plates for us already split up. It was really good. I will 10000000% come back mostly because the service was incredible but the food was great too! read more

Very good meal in a fun atmosphere with a view of the river. Service was probably closer to a 3 due to attentiveness but they were busy and she was very friendly.
