Our server, Michael was absolutely wonderful. (Plus he has amazing hair!) Anyway, we started with my Smoked Old Fashioned (It was ok, bartender went a little heavy on the bitters, and I should've asked for Bulleit Rye but that was my bad.) Anyway, Honey got a Black and Blue. Both came out super quick and we were instantly refreshed. We chose to sit in the patio bc the weather was nice and not too hot or cold. It was just right. We started with the ColCannon Boxty Appetizer. It is small balls of shredded potatoes that are fried, and come with a delish aioli dipping sauce. We chose to split the Shepherds pie for our main course. The meat gave me meat loaf vibes but with a ground beef texture and a unique aftertaste.. It was good, just the texture is unique! It came with a small portion of the Brown Bread with Garlic butter. It was good! We asked for more Garlic butter. It was delicious! We would've ordered a Creme Brûlée but we were both stuffed. It was overall a great place and we will visit it again. A must visit if you are in Orange Beach!

Quick summary:…read more Reuben: Below expectations Fish & chips: Met expectations Chicken pot pie: Below expectations Wings: Below expectations Old Fashioned: Below expectations Guinness: Met expectations French 75: Met expectations I had heard great things about this place, so my expectations were high. The inside bar area is very cool, but it was extremely loud at night. If you're eating dinner, don't expect to have much of a conversation. We ordered several of the things they're supposedly exceptional at, and most of it was just "meh." The Reuben was the biggest disappointment. It was supposed to be one of the best Reubens around, but honestly, Arby's is just as good. If you want a truly exceptional Reuben, go to Napoleon House in New Orleans. The fish and chips were fine. The wings were also okay, but nothing memorable. The chicken pot pie was unique and clearly made fresh. It contained shredded chicken, which was a little different, and had a strong spice flavor that I couldn't identify (tarragon). I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't reorder. The Old Fashioned was disappointing. The Guinness and French 75 were both good and met expectations. None of the food was actually bad. We simply had much higher expectations based on the restaurant's reputation and what we were told they do exceptionally well. Service was good, and the atmosphere was cool. Overall, it's an interesting place, but the food didn't live up to the hype. Clearly, I'm in the minority because this place has excellent reviews--especially on Yelp, where reviewers can be pretty tough. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews because food is subjective, and this may simply be a "tomayto, tomahto" situation. Everything I found average could be amazing to someone else. This was just my experience.

Second time in , first review. Sports bar type place so it's a bit noisy, we went early in the…read moreevening , no wait but steady. Lots of groups with all the OWA traffic. Our server Tina was nice , a fellow Arizona transplant, efficient and friendly. Food was decent, wings were big, but the Habanero sauce was more like a puree. Italian beef itself was under seasoned but the au jus helped. Wife had the 5 cheese grilled cheese and liked it, but you need to like bleu cheese as it's a bit strong. My pet peeve showed up again as the salt and pepper tops were badly dented. Its nit picky but its so easy to fix and it shows attention to detail and its one thing I always look for.

We sat at the bar on a fairly slow Friday lunch. Right off the bat service was friendly and stayed…read moreconsistently good throughout our experience. I like the variety in the menu. I ended up going with mozzarella sticks to start and the mushroom Swiss burger. The mozzarella sticks were absolutely fantastic, had great flavor as did the marinara. The barber came piping hot, and served with delicious fries. Tons of mushroom on this burger and the cheese stood out as well. It was a bit overcooked from what I ordered, but still had great flavor. The facilities were fairly clean, and surprisingly the bathroom was clean as well. For a high traffic, tourist stop, that's something to be said. I'd say the food was a bit overpriced for what we got, but that being said it is a tourist stop. There's a reason this place is stayed open while so many other restaurants have failed in this property. In my experience here the food is just actually decent. I would come back for lunch if at OWA during lunchtime.

We also order the hand cut chips and the wontons and both were delicious. They have a nice patio area that is also pet-friendly. They are located in the old Lucy's Retired Surfer Bar spot. They are still in their soft-opening phase but there didn't seem to be a lot of kinks to work out. The Grand Opening is 7 December. Give them a try!

I drove two hours just to try Avenue Pub. I had never heard of the restaurant before and only…read morediscovered it through a Facebook post, but it was absolutely worth the drive. The first thing that impressed me was the ample parking. The restaurant also has a small private beach area for customers, along with a great bar area overlooking the water. The property is handicap accessible with both ramps and stairs, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Assistant Manager Taylor. He made me feel extremely welcome and even recommended a lunch item from the menu. I took his advice and ordered the Pork Ribeye Sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. On the side, I had a salad with their homemade ranch dressing. Without a doubt, this is some of the best ranch dressing I have ever had. The bartender, Cody, was outstanding as well. I tried the Lime Margarita, Blackberry Mojito, and the Strawberry Basil drink. Every one of them was fantastic. You can tell this is a place that people genuinely enjoy working at. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the customers all seemed happy to be there. It's rare to find a restaurant that gets everything right, but Avenue Pub comes very close. If you're anywhere near Orange Beach, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back.

We also ordered the wings- subpar, hamburger were recommended and they were said to be top notch. So ofc I had try it and coming from Texas we had high hopes as the bar is set high. With that said, the burger was good, I have had better but for the other food I have eaten in the area I would agree that it was the best burger around here. But for the items we ordered, it was over priced. we sat at the bottom dock area, no server and we had to go to a window to order everything. Sorry no photos.

I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26
