The pan seared grouper tacos special was perfection! So flavorful and key lime pie is a must have!. Almost forgot...coconut margarita! How come I've never seen one of these before....deeelicious! read more

Ashley was our server and she was excellent. The food exceeded all expectations. I'll be back soon. read more

How is it possible that this restaurant has such beautiful views AND great food? I loved the experience of dining out on the water. The server recommended I get the fresh fish on the half shell, which comes with accoutrements to build your own tacos. Each element of the dish was DELICIOUS. I was so pleased with the freshness and flavor of my meal. The servers also created a fun, lively atmosphere. This is a must after a beach day! read more

The Blind Tiger - Fresh fish on the half shell - Seafood Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

The Blind Tiger on Fairhope AL at the pier I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service and quality of the food. I expected overpriced drinks, a self service window and a nice view of Mobile Bay at sunset. Instead we got a smaller menu with tasty dinners. My wife had the smash burger, I had the mahi-mahi tacos. Both were very good. She ordered the Blue Lagoon drink, I opted for plain ole sweet tea. Our waitress ?? Was personable and efficient. The price was very reasonable, the sunset blocked by clouds but we amused ourselves watching the pelicans dive for fish only a few feet away! A solid FOUR STAR restaurant. read more

Great food & service! Red drum tacos are amazing! Pier view was beautiful! Would highly recommend!

We had an incredible experience here this evening. We truly couldn't believe they had so many open tables on the porch! We sat in a quiet corner, next to a window overlooking the beautiful bay, loved watching the cars come down the hill. My husband and I took our waiter, Ashleys suggestion on the smash burger, and crawfish boil bites, and they didn't disappoint. She said this was the best burger in Fairhope and I have to agree. Very delicious. I liked my tiger drink as Well. We will be back, probably next weekend. read more

I really wanted to love this place and we ate here about three weeks after they opened and left very disappointed. No draft, 5 things maybe six on the menu on a chalkboard. But I figured I'd give it a little while and come back. I was looking for the view and kind of a dive bar atmosphere, which I absolutely got - so five stars on that and five stars on the staff. The only reason I did three stars was because the mahi fish tacos were so incredibly salty. I couldn't even finish one. The black beans and rice were OK, and I couldn't eat the pico because I had cilantro in it but full disclosure the bartender (sweetie pie), I think her name is Emily, absolutely told me that there was cilantro in there. I don't know maybe I just tried the wrong thing but I'll give it one more go third times a charm. Also, I left smelling like a smoker pit because apparently they smoked the wings and barbecue, which is fine but maybe put it outside? I don't know- I'll give it one more go. read more

The Blind Tiger - Mahi mahi tacos, Cuban black beans, rice and pico. - Seafood Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

First time here.... Came from Foley to walk the pier and do some downtime Christmas shopping. Very quiet, only an owner and his kids were eating inside. We had a late light lunch and everything was great. Our young man server was checking in a bit too much for our comfort, but because we were his only table and an owner was next to us, I guess I understand. The fries were amazing! We will be back read more

Great place. Great location. Picturesque views. I would recommend this place to anyone. The service was excellent and the servers were adorable. read more

Was so excited that they put this space to good use and did a great job on the renovation! The views on the water create a nice relaxing atmosphere. The vibe is laid back, and the menu is a little limited but with enough options to please all. Our food was well prepared and flavorful. The conch fritter appetizer was a pleasant surprise since you don't see that on many menus in the area. Our cocktails were delicious. Overall our visit was positive and look forward to visiting again soon! read more

The Blind Tiger - Conch fritters - Seafood Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

A man who seemed to be the manager (sitting with a laptop) yelled across the dining room at a young host (likely high school aged). He called her lazy for showing us a menu on the table instead of handing us one. None of us were affected by her minor mistake, but all of us were deeply uncomfortable by the manager's treatment of a young employee. Then, our server told us we couldn't split a meal because he was scared to get in trouble. That's when we decided to leave. Two of us have worked in food service and were shocked at how hostile this place felt. read more

Our group of 5 arrived by boat to enjoy lunch at TBT. Such a beautiful day so perfect that we dined outside on the covered deck. My husband and I enjoyed the smash burger with fries. A delicious burger with lettuce, tomato, pickle, chopped onions, and burger sauce topped with American cheese. Be sure to ask about the daily special. Good customer service by the wait staff. read more

Well.......notice that you're NOT open when it's posted you are open would be a nice start for an improvement! At least 12 of us braved the cold to eat at your restaurant. It was sad to see so many people walk away. People stated they were there last night, loved it, but were returned away today with locked doors!! Update your posted sights with accurate information. Hoping it wasn't "freezing" water trouble, but still a sign would have been nice!!! Maybe later? read more

This was a very nice venue. Food was good. Service was excellent. Will definitely go back in the future.

Conch fritters were so salty They had conch but twice as much salt Grouper tacos were nothing to write home about Two pieces of Dried out fish Didn't look anything like the photo above read more

Hanna could not possibly be more welcoming, helpful and attentive. Awesome service. Will come back regularly and ask for her. read more

Great mahi-mahi tacos, and Best beignets ever!! Service and location were also superb!

I've been here a few times and food and service is excellent every time. My server, Emily, was very friendly and suggested some of their specials - pork tacos and caramel drizzled beignets - which were absolutely delicious! The beignets should be on the menu they were that good. I love tacos and love that they do weekly taco specials and will be back to try new ones. read more

Hannah was so personable and friendly. Made our family catch up dinner even better. Also the mahi tacos slap.

Food is really good when it's good. Lots of turnover a month ago or so, so some rough edges. Some of the staff were incredibly nice (hats off Tommy and Butler and woman at the front) some not (anonymous manager). 'Red royal' (low country bowl) great, wings were skinny, fried shrimp was unexpectedly spicy, pork taco was tasty but not well trimmed.... Mocktails charged as if they had alcohol so ask for the booze on the side to give someone else ($11 for a mocktail???) Soda refills not free. No printed menu so our poor waiter had to repeat it 6-8 times for all of us to understand, and still a few specials not mentioned. PERFECT location, great place to watch the sundown! Open/closing hours may vary from listed. read more

Stopped by Sunday for lunch after early church. It was warm out so decided to sit inside. Place was nice and on a cool day the outside would be beautiful but decided to sit inside. Ordered the Smash Burger as they touted it as "award winning" and it came with fries. The burger was pretty good and so were the fries. My only complaint is that the menu is sparse if you don't eat seafood. About the only options other than seafood were a salad or the one smash burger, no chicken, steak or anything. Anyway, the burger came with pickles and grilled onions at $16. I would have like to have a few options at that price like grilled jalapeños, pimento cheese, goat cheese or something to elevate it. For what it was it was good though. The service was good and fairly attentive, no complaints there. Overall I would say a good 3.5 due to the very limited menu but not bad if you are looking for something they have. read more

We had a large group go for lunch. Everyone loved the fresh seafood and great atmosphere! Service was great as well. Will definitely continue going back for more! read more

Enjoyed it all and recommend the Bushwhacker. Nice view and nice people. Worth the visit!

Excellent margaritas and tacos! The staff are so sweet and accommodating. The view is gorgeous! Just a great place to hang out on a beautiful day! Don't miss out!!! read more

Excellent date night at The Blind Tiger on Fairhope Pier. Well worth the wait for this restaurant to open. Great service and yummy food! Can't wait to go back again! read more

Venue is scenic. Food and drinks were good, but very overpriced. Fairhope, AL is not Rockefeller Center! You can expect that in NYC, not here! read more

I have a 12 year old daughter, and she doesn't do well in social situations, especially in new places, but our server, Brendan, made special accommodations and made her feel comfortable. Would come again, food was amazing and the ambiance is welcoming. read more

Service and food were "ok". Side salad for 5 bucks was just a dumped out taco shell lol. Saving grace was beautiful views and the red fish was actually incredible read more

We took a good friend out to eat here last night. We had high expectations. Location is 5+ stars. It ends as soon as you get your food. The Ruby Reds were awful. Spongy and very fishy, the salad was all lettuce with a couple of tomato chunks and a few slivers of onion. The Parmesan oysters were old, small and mostly Parmesan cheese. Plus, when we walked in someone was mopping up a lot of water. I said it looks like you had a water problem. The staff said they were only keeping the place clean???? Mopping the floor during peak hours?? Really strange. I feel very sorry for the owner. This location is awesome and so should the food....It's sad all the surrounding construction has devastated the potential of the establishment. I saw old reviews pre site construction days and all seemed very good. I feel sorry for the owner... read more

Beautiful view at Fairhope Municipal Pier great service from Mike Smashburger and Grouper tacos top notch read more

Very excited for the opening of this Bay St. Louis favorite in the Fairhope Pier! We were greeted and seated in the dining area and could view some of the fresh food prep. We sampled the Pickled Shrimp that was so fresh and spiced perfectly. Next up was the seared Ahi Tuna, kissed with Wasabi sauce, sirrachara, and seaweed salad. The smoked Tuna Dip was delicious (and thankfully made it home for a late night snackl). We also ordered the Taco of the Day, which was 2 fried Grouper tacos topped with a super food slaw - very excellent! We ended with the Conch Fritters, which were FULL of fresh Conch - no skimping! Very excellent experience, and we can't wait to return to try everything else! read more

We are local's, so as every good Fairhope person does when a new restaurant opens they flood the place, which doesn't create a soft opening for the restaurant. Well, TBT has managed the chaos well. We have been twice now and love it. We haven't gone too crazy on the limited menu, but everything we've tried has been fantastic. Royal Reds, which I love almost anywhere are well seasoned and come in a boat dish with corn and potatoes. Delicious. Raw Oysters - These were sourced around Dauphin and had great flavor. The horseradish was fresh and delicious. Grilled Oysters - Seasoned with parm, garlic and sausage. Yummy! Kids chicken fingers and fries - our daughter ate them all and we ate the fries which were nicely salted. We are beer and wine people and they had a nice selection and were each able to find something we liked. Service - the first night we went we had to wait about 30 minutes. We just walked up and down the pier enjoying the sunset. The hostesses were very friendly. Waitress was attentive and friendly even though she was jamming with a bunch of tables. Our second time we went we sat at the bar and both bartenders were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The management at TBT has found a great group of people and has done a good job at training. Now for the fun stuff. The atmosphere of this place is awesome. It is actually on the Fairhope pier so you are surrounded by the water, seagulls and boats. It's what the eastern shore is all about. The inside is casual with TVs and fun fishing pics. There is a lot of outside seating to enjoy the scenery and the sunset. The bar is really well designed splitting the inside and outside. If I had one negative it would be that the ice cream is pre-packaged and is as hard as a stone, but once it dethaws it's delicious. We will definitely be going back. read more

Great food and service as well as a beautiful view of the sunset at the bay! The Smashburger is excellent. our server, Izzy, went above and beyond to make sure we got what we wanted as well as answering our questions about the area. read more

TBT never disappoints! Isabelle M. Is awesome! The food was on point! We've been to some of the other TBT but Fairhope TBT is now one of our favorites! Thank you! read more

We were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door! We were seated and welcomed by our server, Hannah - THE BEST! She answered our questions, we placed our order and our food came out quickly and it was DELICIOUS - Highly recommend the Shrimp Cantina Tacos!
