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.

Our server Lexy did an amazing job, bringing all food and drinks very quickly. She was very friendly and always had something funny to say. Will definitely be asking for her when we come back. read more

After several recent visits, I am trying to understand why I haven't been here more often. Food and service are good, the view is fantastic. Hard to go wrong! read more

Food was excellent! Not crowded. Server was nice and paid attention to our glasses and made sure they were always full.

Ive eaten there several times. Food is rather different for this area. Several foods are cooked and placed together in a bowl with a thin sauce or gravy poured over it...rather like a stew. I have eaten the fried seafood trio three times. Not much seafood and fried to long...rather past crispy. Food service is slow. Bar has most well and call spirits common to the area, as well as commercially prepared fruity mixed drinks. Service is usually pretty good. Ambiance is nice. Most inside seating provides view of bay. Large covered deck provides for outdoor dining and light entertainment around sundown with nice view of sunsets. read more

Sat out on the deck facing Mobile Bay. Wonderful ambience. Our server did an excellent job. We ordered grilled oysters as appetizers...excellent. My bride had the Shrimp Tacos for her main dish. I had their Tuna Poke Nachos. They were both very good. They also were having live music on the deck but missed them as we left before the started. A great night. read more

Amazing view! Come here on your way home from the beach! Last hurrah and amazing sunset view kind of place. Looks like the place to hang out if you're a local. I had the seafood goblet and mahi sandwich (ask for a side a burger sauce to go with the sandwich. My friend got the Easy Cheezze burger on burger night Wednesday for $7 and it was juicy and messy goodness. Looks like amazing drink menu too though I still have to drive to Louisiana. read more

Pet friendly ! Great food! The atmosphere was great and the servers and service was great! We have a small dog and they were very welcoming and brought her a water bowl with ice when they brought our drinks. read more

We decided to eat at The Waterfront because we have been hearing great things bout the views, and we enjoy all of Panini Pete's other endeavors. We ordered the Southern Street Eggs and the Mahi Bites for our appetizers. The Eggs were a bit different than we thought. You can really taste the pickle. Mahi Bites were good. The Sarah B Burger I ordered medium Rare, and it came out well done. Our server apologized and had them re-fire a new one. It came out perfect. Delicious burger. The fries were tasty and the Street Corn was fabulous. All in all a pretty good experience with a great view of the Bay. RECOMMENDED read more

The environment was wonderful, sitting out by the bay. The food was delightful, and the best experience was Kennedy, my , who just provided such wonderful service and made it a wonderful experience. read more

Luke was an amazing server really highlighted brunch and brought some fun energy to the table!

I'm assuming this place is where you go for drinks and the view, because the food was disappointing. The only good thing was the crawfish dip. The street cauliflower was cold & felt like it had hardly been cooked/roasted and was lacking seasoning. The waterfront salad was $15 with no protein included, and was missing the blueberries & sweet potatoes. The sweet tea was not sweet. The waitress was nice, and I didn't want to complain to her because it was not her fault that the food was underwhelming. I will say the presentation was on point, but it's about the tastebuds...not the eyes. read more

The view was outstanding. The food and the drinks were not. I had the Flounder and fries and my wife had a Hamburger. We had a Strawberry Margarita and a Peach Daiquiri to drink. Sorry, I would go back and have a Coke and enjoy the view but that's it. read more

Wonderful food. Great service. Loved sitting on the outdoor deck to eat, enjoying Mobile Bay. We'll be back.

Wow, what a brunch!! From the minute we walked in and were greeted by a wonderful hostess, to a super server with a great personality, and a wide selection of tasty entrees, this was a wonderful dinning experience. The place was full of vitality, with many families and couples enjoying each other and the outside deck. We'll be back! read more

Forgot to take pictures! I had the Poke Nachos and my coworker had the Cuban Quesadilla along with a side salad. All was delicious! Add a water view and it was the perfect lunch location. read more

The food at the Waterfront is so very good. Appetizers, entrees all a 10/10. The service was exceptional. I would go back again and again.

A good restaurant with a great view of the ocean. I had the Poke nachos and they were good. The chicken tacos were also very good. A nice place to stop when passing through Mobile. Our server was also very nice and attentive. read more

food was very good and quick service. the view was stunning and very clean place would go back

Laid back, great space, and great food! Wish I would have known about this place earlier, will definitely be back!

This is a great community location. Not only a restaurant and on the water, it's a place where the community gathers. The food is great! The bar is always friendly and helpful. The location has various sections so if there is a noisy group, you can always sit in a different section. Have been here several times and will return soon! read more

We used to love this place. Food has taken a MAJOR nosedive. Mahi bites were not fresh, and French fries were cold. Too many young employees running around "working" but really not doing much. read more

Try the Poke Nachos!!! Super attentive service with a smile. Better views than the causeway eateries. Prices are very reasonable! read more

Caroline was amazing! She was so kind, helpful and definitely providing great service. Kids burger was very salty but it didn't matter because the rest of the food was yummy and Caroline was so sweet!! read more

The food was great staff was excellent, and the ambiance was great as well we especially enjoyed Sara @ the bar who took care of us.

Fantastic server. Fast service. Fries could have been a little warmer. Always refilled my drinks.

You can't beat the location. Indoor and outdoor seating with beautiful views of the bay. Large windows allow even the indoor diners to enjoy the view. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was good, but a bit underwhelming for me. It was well prepared, but the sauces on my dishes were earthy with more heat than flavor. Mostly a personal preference as far as the flavor profile. We had the Seafood goblet appetizer which seemed a bit bland for taste as I was hoping for something closer to Mexican shrimp cocktail, just not enough tanginess to compliment the seafood. My husband really enjoyed the skillet oysters. I had the Royal Sandwich which was good but just didn't care for the sauces that had a more of an earthy flavor. read more

The food was really good and our waitress was super-however, it is not right for a restaurant to charge customers 3.5% convenience fee to use a credit card--not her fault but the owners. That being said, I can't give The Warerfront 5 stars. I am tired of giving restaurants extra money to pay for food in a near cashless society. My only recourse is to take it from the tip. I usually tip 20% or more---I deduct the convenience fee from that. Sorry but it is a convenience fee. read more

Great service, excellent food if you haven't tried this place, You Need to! Band was also great! read more

This lovely restaurant, situated on Mobile Bay in Daphne, just opened at the Lake Forest Yacht Club is a great addition to Eastern Shores dining. "Panini" Pete Blohme and business partner Nick DiMario are the new managers and they have done a great job with the renovationd and rebranding. These guys are not new to a good restaurant, they are partners in PP Hospitality that own and operate Panini Pete's and Sunset Pointe in Fairhope, Ed's Seafood Shed in Spanish Fort and Squid Ink in Mobile, all are which outstanding dining spots. The atmosphere here is fun, comfortable, and welcoming with terrific views practically everywhere you look. While inside dining is available there's lots of covered outdoor seating with relaxing spots with couches inside and out. You'll also notice an open cold bar that can be viewed by customers out front. The sunsets from this spot are spectacular and with a full service bar and places to just chill it makes it a great place to gather with friends for the sunset show. So on to our experience for our first visit June 8, 2023. We arrived around 2:30 and it was not crowded, there was handicap accessible entrance with ample convenient parking. We were warmly greeted and we're seated outside by the water in large comfortable chairs. Our server was Makenzie, who was very friendly, professional, and took great care of us, welcomed us and took our drink and app order. We started with their reasonably priced beer and the "Seafood Goblet which is pickled shrimp, cucumber, tomato, hearts of palm, yellow peppers, and chimichurri topped with crab meat, avocado and fresh lime juice in a big frosty goblet. It's visually stunning and overall the flavors were good but the avocado lacked seasoning but we enjoyed it. My sweetheart ordered The Royal, that's Argentinian shrimp, tossed in a citrusy smoked dressing, served on a grilled roll with fries. She thought it was tasty, enjoyed it, and would definitely order it again. I opted for the Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich served with fries. It's slow roasted chicken thigh, with a papaya BBQ jerk sauce, spicy mayo, shredded lettuce, and tomato. Good to note that Pete has said that their dishes are influenced by other great waterfront restaurants and they do have an eclectic menu like Key West tacos, Argentinian ceviche, lobster roll, and jerk chicken but has been clear that it's "their" take on these dishes. With that said, I thought the jerk chicken was quite tasty, but was not like the jerk chicken I've had in Jamaica. It was tender, well seasoned but not spicy, and other than the bread it was enjoyable. Dessert was a very nice treat, it's not on the menu so I assume it's the item referred to as "Chef's Sweet Treat", was fantastic. It was a light cake covered with caramel, loaded with fresh blueberries and whipped cream. The issues I had were the app and entrees arrived very close together and even though the food came out very quickly it wasn't very hot. The bun for my jerk chicken sandwich was a sad hamburger that was tasteless and fell apart with the tender juicy chicken and dressings. I would like to had it in a hearty brioche bun, if it has to be a bun, or even a hoagie roll would be a big improvement. I also saw no mention of locally sourced seafood, or other items, and I do like locally sourced fresh seafood, but I digress. Bottom line: We really love the venue, the people are outstanding, the food is good, very reasonably priced, and they offer a 10% veteran discount. Highly recommend!! Open 11:30AM-9PM Tuesday thru Sunday https://thewaterfrontdaphne.com/ https://www.facebook.com/thewaterfrontdaphne Note: There's reviews from previous years that do not reflect the current restaurant. read more

This location is fab! Great water views! I had the tuna nacho appetizer as my dinner and it was delicious. The pickles are really good too. Our server was very sweet and efficient. I will definitely come back next time I'm in the Mobile area. read more

We arrived on Friday evening just at 7:30. I was eager to dine on the deck but due to the wait we opted to eat inside but asked to sit by a window. The window was blocked outside by equipment for busing tables so we still didn't have a view. Bummer. The mahi bites were perfectly cooked and addictive. We also got the charcuterie for sampling most of the other apps from the menu. I'm not a fan of the conecuh but overall the platter was good. Hubs was thrilled to see a version of "Arroz con gandules" on the menu, but ultimately was disappointed. The rice had no flavor, it lacked the base flavors from sofrito and garlic that's typical of the dish. This was just plain instant yellow rice. The shredded chicken was somewhat bland, and the dish just lacked overall. The bbq sauce drizzle was very good though. For my Sburger, I just had to try it. The combination of flavors rocked. The bun wasn't sweet - perfect! The burger really was delish, with just one caveat that the meat was over-cooked. I still ate the whole thing. Fries are the standard frozen variety. We made a point to try all the "different" items featured on the menu, but next time around I'll give the local stand-bys a try. I'm dying to taste test the shrimp poboy! read more

My friend and I had lunch here today and it was GREAT‼ We sat outside on the Bay side. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, the restaurant is very clean and inviting. I had the Sarah B Burger and she had the Fish Tacos with Mahi Mahi. The food was FABULOUS‼ We left there "fully satisfied!" read more

We visited 2 nights ago. What struck me first was HOW many employees they have! And it was raining like crazy and many were helping people up the stairs and inside. Impressive! We had the mahi bites and shared some poke nachos as an appetizer. Both delicious. I had the grilled fish sandwich. It was extremely salty, but .... Very good. The prices are decent, the menu appealing and great outside views. Our server was brand new, but she truly did a great job! read more
