On our way from Orange Beach to Mobile, we stumbled upon this incredible spot in Spanish Fort! And what a find it was! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and the service was absolutely top-notch. The waitstaff went above and beyond to make us feel right at home, and the owner personally came by our table to check on us (something you don't see often anymore!) The real star, though, was the food. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and to our surprise, completely gluten-free. As someone who has to be careful with food choices, it was such a relief and delight to enjoy a meal that didn't feel like a compromise at all. Every bite was fresh, thoughtful, and downright delicious. This place is truly a hidden-in-plain-sight gem. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we could come back. If you're passing through Spanish Fort, or even if you're not, you owe it to yourself to stop here. Outstanding food, genuine hospitality, and an experience that turns a quick stop into a highlight of your trip. Thanks Robin for the outstanding second mile service!

A delicious meal with great, quick service! They have a great special a whole bottle of wine, two entrees and dessert for $59. We celebrated valentines early :)

Blackened shrimp pasta

First of all we had been to this place when it was something different and were pleasantly surprised at the staff and the food this time! The greet at the door was nice and welcoming! Our server was prompt, concise, and extremely accommodating. Her name was Emily. She was knowledgeable and explained everything. She guided us with suggestions throughout our meal. The food was phenomenal! We started with stuffed mushrooms, stuffed with what you may ask, I don't even care they were the best I have ever had! The sauce they were in was a white creamy sauce that you would slap your mama for and it was second to none! We had fried jalapeños as well and we expected them to be stuffed but they were sliced and fried and served with another amazing sauce and also delicious! I had blackened shrimp and pasta, again the sauce was to die for. The shrimp were nice and big but I wasn't a fan but that's my fault, l'm not a big seafood lover but I have had shrimp where they didn't have that sea taste before but these did so I didn't fancy them. The pasta was like macaroni noodles which I had never seen before in this type of dish but still good. My husband had the sirloin with garlic mashed potatoes and mixed veggies but we were already full because Emily had brought some delicious garlic toast points out and I was slathering them in the stuffed mushroom sauce. I decided to put my meal in a box to go because there was a banana foster calling my name. holv molv it was to die for!!! We sat at a booth overlooking the water.

The special.

First time going here. Party of 12. Live music was nice. Not too loud and we sat right up front. Our server was very attentive. Had a good system for taking care of us. Half adults. Half children. We had the special which was grouper. A blackened mahi sandwich, shrimp and grits. Sautéed crab claws. A side of okra and a side of sweet potato fries. The food was delicious. Flavorful and fresh. I was pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to wait for anything before we all ate. The food runners were definitely working tonight. An overall great experience and will most certainly come again.

This place is amazing. Service is exceptional. The owner is very welcoming and the food is fresh from scratch. Absolutely incredible food. Don't miss out on this hidden gem.

Caramel Cake
Meredith C.

For someone who is gluten free, and lives in the south where there isn't many gluten free options besides salad and grilled entrees, this was the first time I had fried shrimp in years and it was amazing! The whole menu is gluten free and everything is homemade down to their spices. Their menu has multiple allergy free options including soy and dairy. The quality of the food is super fresh and you can tell that it is great quality. Pictures is fried shrimp, and the caramel cake, which is also gluten free and was one of the best cakes I've had. The owner said it is her grandma's recipe that she made gluten free. The Pier House definitely has made some loyal customers, we will be back! Edit: for people saying it took a while for their food, it is because everything is made fresh, meaning they don't pre-make their food

Gluten free, heaven on a plate, caramel cake!

My husband and I have been back to Pier House several times since my first review and we still LOVE it! Several positive changes have been made since they first opened and my favorite one is the shrimp platter now has a DOZEN fried butterfly shrimp instead of 8 and the fries are "twisty" and so delicious. Still thankful for the GF batter so I can safely eat fried shrimp again. Love Carrie and her staff! Our top date night choice!

The food (French toast/chicken & waffles) was excellent. Regular syrup instead of "pepper jelly"…read morewould have been fine. Our server was very nice and accommodating. The ambiance is nice and cozy. But we always sat in a booth. Sitting at a table indoors next to the back door, I looked around in confusion. At first it felt like someone kicking the back of the seat like on a flight. But then I was trying to move the table and check the chairs, maybe it was an earthquake from the New Madrid fault line. But like a typical NOLA raised home, it was just a hard floor and heavy footsteps. I'll know better next time. But Sundays from 12-3pm is the time to be there. Having to wait for parking was about the hardest part.

Our waitress friendly and bubbly was there quickly to take our drink order. She checked on us frequenly. We started with the Boudreaux's egg rolls, they were awesome great texture crispy outside and soft avacado inside with a lot of flavor and great dipping sauce. Next I had the shrimp creole, with a substitute of side for gumbo. Both were very tasty and prepared perfectly, she had the black and bleu salad, the steak was very tasty and bleu cheese, well its bleu cheese and good bleu cheese. Last, we ordered an order of beignet's they were pretty good, a little on the heavy / dense side. The place was a little on the quiet side tonight despite the dining area being pretty full. One thing worth noting, we have noticed on our last two visits here the servers not clearing plates from the table when a persons is obviously finished eating either by the plate being pushed to the side or the universal silverware placement indicating, I am done eating. This time I had to ask her to clear the table before she brought anything else to the table. She was happy to do it, so maybe this timely removal of plates is not obvious, nor has it been explained/ taught by anyone. Service is important, this falls under the basics, if you are headed to the kitchen, do not go empty handed. Just a thought to improve the level of service. We will return.

When you enter, there is a bar and tables in the main dining room and another few tables in the back. The patio allows pets and it has tables and umbrellas. It just feels like you are in for an amazing meal. The menus are on QR codes instead of the chalkboards that were a staple at one point. Anyway, Dragonfly has a cool vibe when you walk into the restaurant. I ordered the vegetable bowl with duck added for protein. Absolutely amazing!!! One of the best dishes that you will eat on the Eastern Shore. We also ordered the Kung Pao Chicken tacos that were fantastic!!! The service was point point, and pair that with extraordinary food and a relaxing ambiance, you get an amazing culinary experience!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The atmosphere is very sports bar esk so don't expect the glam and glitz of a high end stop. We ended up getting the Steak Taco (singular not multiple please note) which was a surprise for the $10 price tag - one taco ? We also opted for the steak on a stick appetizer, this time 2 small portions, you guessed it $10. I am sure this spot will appeal to the financially stable crowd but we found the portions to be small and prices to be large (in comparison). The quality of the food was good, not great. For the premium price we would expect high end taste. At the end of the day, a definate no repeat for us - onward and upward.

Girl must be the Yelp…read moreequivalent of a professional hater--she drops a 1-star review faster than a drunk uncle drops his beer at a wedding. Probably mad because the barstools don't come with a personal therapist to listen to her complaints. Meanwhile, the rest of us are living our best lives: the atmosphere is straight-up electric (in a good way, not like that one time the jukebox shorted out), the booze flows like it's happy hour in heaven--wine? Nah, we're talking bottomless vibes and top-shelf pours that make you forget what day it is. The staff? Absolute legends. They remember your drink before you remember your own name, and they do it with smiles bigger than the Mobile Bay itself. And the events? Non-stop party central: * Wednesdays: Line dancing so fun you'll forget you have two left feet (spoiler: everyone does after shot #3). * Fridays: Live bands that slap harder than your ex's bad decisions. * Saturdays & Sundays: Karaoke where your off-key rendition of "Sweet Caroline" somehow becomes the highlight of the night--bonus points if you dedicate it to Avery for the motivation. Plus, outdoor music perfect for pretending you're in a music video while actually just spilling your drink on your shoes. It's the ultimate spot to grab a cold one, mingle like you're auditioning for a rom-com, and meet new people who are actually fun (unlike certain reviewers). The regulars? Pure gold. They'll hook you up with every hidden gem, event, and questionable life choice happening in Baldwin County faster than you can say "another round." Bottom line: If you're looking for a good time in Daphne, Top of the Bay is where it's at. Avery can stay home reviewing her own fridge if she wants--more barstools for the rest of us party animals!

I also don't tend to laugh like a loud congested hyena, so maybe that doesn't hinder my view on the joint. The bartenders Morgan, Christina, John and Emma are all amazing. They all pay attention to you, regardless of whats between your legs. Please give this bar a chance. Just dont sit where we sit, or play shitty music please. Thank you!

It's nicer than other places around town, but I don't find it to be as "upscale" as they claim…read more It's as if it doesn't know what it wants to be having so many TVs around. Is it a sports bar? Is it a wine-liquor bar? The jukebox on the wall kind of threw us for a loop as it loudly played tons of country, sometimes repeating songs, then R&B. Decor was pretty in its colors, but once there it screamed "look upscale at cheapest options possible". Tables are laminate, floors appear laminate, but the bathrooms appear to be of higher quality options. Certain drink ingredients requested weren't available. (The server didn't know what allspice dram was; the bartender didn't even know what allspice dram was, let alone have it.) A friend requested a particular tequila, but they don't have it. He then requested a particular mezcal, and the server suggested something else. I sought out two particular Cabernet Sauvignon wines, but they don't have either of those either. I ordered an Old Fashioned made with rum instead of whiskey. I was disappointed with how sweet the drink was. After watching the bartender it's as if she's not pouring to the top of the jigger, indicating under-pouring. Maybe because "it's messy" to pour it complete. So I ordered a margarita next, thinking it's harder to mess that up-- if it wasn't great, then that tells me a lot about this place. The margarita was soooo heavy on mixer/lime juice. I don't know that I'll want to come back for cocktails. The menu and execution were both underwhelming. But hey, the decor is kind of pretty... Again, it is nicer than other options around town, but it isn't what we expected compared to what we're used to. When you sell yourself as "upscale," customers expect upscale.

Get comfortable...it's gonna be a while!…read more After my third visit, figured I had given it plenty of chances. The ambiance is great, cool set up and comfortable chairs (and you're gonna need them for the service time). Even with staff admitted "slow night," very slow service. Servers often seen on their phones rather than checking to see if another round was needed. Let down because this place could be a slam dunk. When I've eaten the food it's been good, but pricey. There's also a VIP section with sofas and chairs but a sign listed it as $50/person.

We are from out of town and we were looking for a local place to eat and drink. There's something special about stepping into a local spot that isn't part of a chain, where the charm is authentic and the welcome feels personal. This cozy country bar hit all the right notes. Great vibe and music. At 5:00pm on a Friday, it was peacefully quiet--just the kind of relaxed atmosphere we were hoping for. The service? Prompt, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The space was spotless and clearly cared for, with a family-friendly vibe that made us feel right at home. Prices were perfect. Food wise and drink wise. We had bourbon and wine. We both went for the single smashed burgers, paired with a mountain of golden fries. And when we say a lot of fries, we mean it. Crispy, satisfying, and generously portioned--definitely worth every penny. The burgers were delicious, simple and flavorful, just what comfort food should be.

Bartender/waitress was very nice, though it was a little upsetting that after she delivered my food and I asked for another beer, she decided it was more important to change the channel to a basketball game that someone else requested (the game had JUST started...he could have waited) AND she got him a drink (maybe he was a regular, but still.) Either way, I'm SUPER glad that my company is paying for the $23 cheeseburger I ordered on a whim, because it was NOT good! The cheese sticks appetizer (which cost half as much) were AMAZING but holy moly. The music was good if you like early 90's alternative (which I do) but other than that I don't really reccommend this place.
