    5 wings (garlic Parmesan with ranch to dip)
    Bailey B.

    My parents and I popped in here for dinner our first night at the gulf about two weeks ago. After our large lunch on the trip down, we wanted something easy and that had good appetizers we could share instead of a huge entrees and this fit the bill perfectly. I get the impression this is a newer restaurant. It's in a large strip mall and there was adequate parking. They were doing a pretty good business on a Thursday night around 7 PM. The inside has nice TVs and a sort of more upscale sports bar feel. There's a good bit of seating and it's very open. The women's restroom was spotless when I visited it. Our waitress was Lucy and she did a fantastic job! We felt right at home and she answered all our questions and made good recommendations. During our time there, another waiter inadvertently spilled about four large drinks right in front of the door to the kitchen. It was nice to see the entire team come together to help him and they got it cleaned up quickly and without complaint. Great teamwork! We ordered 2 pretzels with queso and Creole honey mustard, my dad got the 5 wings with garlic Parmesan and ranch iirc, and we also got the smaller order of "nachos deluxe." Our food came out in a timely manner and was hot and fresh. My favorite thing was probably the pretzels and queso. The pretzels had a heavy dusting of Parmesan and salt and were super soft. The queso was a great accompaniment. I wasn't super crazy about the honey mustard but nbd, the queso was all I needed. My dad really enjoyed his wings and was appreciative of Lucy's garlic parm recommendation. In addition to the pretzels, my mom and I split the nachos. The homemade chili on top was tasty and a pleasant surprise; I was expecting more of a taco meat vibe but the chili was slightly sweet and very umami and VERY filling. These were definitely solid nachos. I personally would have preferred pickled jalapeños to fresh, but my mom was relieved as the fresh ones don't tend to come quite as "juicy" and it was easier for her to avoid the spiciness (as she's a heat weenie, lol). Overall, a very solid spot for higher quality bar food with lots of American classics and a few nods to the coast and NOLA. There's likely something for everyone here, and it's extra nice that it's served by friendly and professional waitstaff.

    Stopped in for a few drinks, really nice place in Orange Beach! Had their loaded nachos and fries (just trying apps), all were good and came out super fast! The bartender was really friendly and it was crazy how fast the place filled up! We will have to come again for dinner!

    We have been back to Old Salt Tavern many times since my first review. Among our favorites on the menu are the Jolene Jolene blackened, sweet potato waffle fries, chili, and wings (teriyaki and charred). The service is consistently great and we always get a friendly welcome from Shane and Caroline. Highly recommend!

When we first arrived at the resort, we were in awe by the beautiful landscaping. We arrived early and decided to have a cocktail at the resort bar before our dinner reservation at 7:30PM. There was live music in the lounge area. When we checked in for our reservation, we were seated right away by a window, which I requested. The view was nice. 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.

ATMOSPHERE Nothing too special about the atmosphere here. I just love that. It was nice clean open area with large windows and plenty of seating and easy to get around. The bar area look cool and the layout was nice. FOOD this is why you came here, right! All kinds of fish cooked all kinds of different ways. Delicious gumbo. 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. It even came out in a glass that matched the beer that I had! I like that extra touch.

They had a meat and three sides which is a southern thing. I chose the fresh catch. with side salad, boiled red potatoes, and greens. I had asked the server for the salad first. But it was brought with the meal. The salad was fresh and crisp, with a surprise of a small Peppa dew pepper. Blazing red with a little heat and delicious. Haven't seen them in a restaurant ever. 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.

My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.
