    We stopped by The Waterfront on our way home from the beach in FL. Hadn't gotten enough seafood and fellow Yelpers helped us find this hidden gem. It's literally on the Bay, with excellent views, a classy but casual decor and outstanding food. Easy to get to just off I-10. We had the jalapeño corn bread, fried shrimp and oysters, along with side salads. Our server was in training but both were very friendly and accommodating. Only slight downer was it took a bit to get our check. Overall we had an outstanding experience and it's a repeater for us on our next trip!

    The manager Cori is the best, she got us to a table right away! We sat at bar first and had an appetizer and a fabulous bushwacker with Sarah and she was a doll!! Both of the bartenders were awesome! They made sure we had everything we needed, 1 was even sick but she did a good job! Once Cori got us seated outside, and it was beautiful overlooking the water, a young lady was our server, she was nice. I had a salad and the citrus salad dressing tasted like oil and vinegar, it was awful. I had the blackened ribeye sandwich and although the steak was very tender whatever it was dressed in was horrific! I never complained but I know if I would have Cori would have fixed it. Everyone else loved their food!

    The views are spectacular. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Fresh catch of the day options as well as a wide variety of food offerings with an elevated twist. The flounder was just ok-not a big fan of the breading-but the homemade key lime aioli was delish.

    Food was delicious ! Service was prompt & friendly. Nothing beats sitting on the outdoor covered deck viewing Mobile Bay !

    I was delightfully surprised by the quality, speed, and service I recieved at this unassuming little place. My food was great, one of the better eats i've had on my stay, and the desserts were incredible. My server, Dakota, and the other staff that assisted us were lighthearted and humorous and served our every need. I definitely recommend.

    The food was delicious, the service outstanding, and the view amazing. The cup of gumbo was some of the best I've ever had - several whole shrimp in the cup, rich and flavorful.

    Great food, atmosphere and drinks. The cobia fish of the day over wild rice and vegetables was on point! The restaurant is on the bay, beautiful sunsets. Great little hidden gem on the bay. 10/10!!

    Went for lunch, it was quiet and the views were great. The food was decent. Server was kind but felt a bit rushed.

    Here on a work trip and back at this great place. The food is so good and the service is always amazing. Is such a beautiful day for sitting outside and the ambiance is casual and perfect for solo eating and groups. I will be back

    I came here for dinner when they opened at 5 so I could guarantee myself a spot overlooking the water. It was great timing on my part. I watched all those fish jumping while I enjoyed several appetizers and a drink. It was beautiful. Great place to enjoy the sunset too!

    We arrived around 4:15 pm and were greeted by 3 lovely young ladies and we requested to be seated outside. This was our first visit and the view did not disappoint! While we were waiting on our food the birds put on a show. Kennedy our server was extremely friendly and on top of her game. I had the shrimp tacos blackened and the mango salsa was delicious! My friend had the special which was the cheeseburger and he said the beef was fresh ground and fully covered. He will definitely order again. One of the best cheeseburger's he has had. Because of the service and the view we will be back to try other great food!!! FYI, looking at our check they do charge a Credit Card Surcharge of (3.00%). We asked but our server said no, so I am giving her the benefit that she was not aware.

    Food was OK but overpriced (4 fried oysters, 5 fried shrimp and fries for $23), waitress was nice but it took 3 tries to get the bill right.

    The atmosphere is very retro and I love that. ****But first, if the manager reads this, I overheard…read morea conversation about the floor. Your mopping solution is off and that is why the floor feels like that. There is too much solution to water. You will have to strip the floor (not like stripping wax, but just stripping the chemicals and it will suck and take time to do). I learned this the hard way, I had to use vinegar water and go over the floor several times till the water was not soapy anymore from the floor. I dont know what you can use in the restaurant business. Then the floor will be good. **** The food was decent. Those onion rings are really good. My daughters liked their food which was French fries, onion rings, and chicken tenders. We then opted to get some frozen custard (ice cream to them). Both got sundaes with chocolate custard, one plain and one with M&M's. I'm glad I got mini sizes because that was plenty. I also go a mini concrete with vanilla custard with peanut butter and reeses mix in. I was pleased with it. I would say it is around 8 oz. So good size for a mini. Oh, I got the Jalapenos Cheeseburger with french fries, and it was decent. I tried the jalapeño French fry sauce and it was decent. The service was super fast! Maybe 5 minute wait for food. The servers were very professional and pleasant. The place was pretty clean, could do better, but I'm just really picky about that kinda stuff. The bathroom was clean. Overall, I would go back.

    We popped in today because my points were expiring. My friend had the double and I had the all beef…read morehotdog. I love the toasted bun and the all beef dog and just plain. It tasted great. My friend loves their double and we both love their fries. They were busy when we arrived but the lady behind the counter was on her A game and kept the line rolling. The restaurant was clean and it was loud today because of the crowd. We will be back.
