Renee R.

Are server Aaron was excellent!! We thoroughly enjoy dining at Bay, one of our favorite restaurants in Orange Beach. The combination of the inviting atmosphere, reasonable prices, and delicious food creates a perfect experience every time we visit. If you haven't had the chance to try it yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot; I assure you, you will love it.

I thought everything was very good here and I will come back. It's not my favorite restaurant in town, but it's a very good and a solid contender. Cha Cha's Crab Dip is delicious and sweet. Definitely something different than other restaurants. Their gumbo is a solid choice with a nice dark roux. They have nice ambience and I will definitely go back.

Cocktail shrimp

Stopped in with some family. Not very hungry so ordrred some bacon wrapped jalepenos. They were excellent. For the main meal I just had the cocktail shrimp. 10 good sized shrimp were brought out and they were cooked just right. The cocktail sauce is on the table and has a good amount of horseradish in it. I love cocktail sauce with a lot of heat, so I was happy to have that extra kick to it. Overall good experience as they have indoor and outside seating. Servers seemed to be a little stretched.

salad bar

we wanted to try Wolf Bay heating mixed reviews and i understand why reviews are mixed. the restaurant is large with a nice outdoor area but something just seems off. not sure what it is. the interior feels like being in a fast food joint except paint is pleasing, chairs are nice and lighting is appropriate. i'm not sure why i didn't like the interior but i didn't. what i did like was the salad bar. i would return for the fresh salad offerings with multiple salad options in addition to the lettuce. i added a cup of gumbo to my lunch and was disappointed in the undercooked rice and the quality of the seafood in the gumbo. service is a bit slow but friendly. there were several people dining on this rainy day so something must be going well??

Raw oysters
Misty B.

Loved that we could join the waitlist ahead of time so we didn't have to wait so long! Wish more restaurants would do this. The food was great and service was also top notch. The crab stuffed mushrooms were some of our favs! We'll be back!

Stuffed Mushrooms. 10/10
Kindell D.

Food was amazing, recommend join the waitlist if you have a larger party. Service was excellent, drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was amazing. They had live music playing on our night. 10/10 highly recommended.

My kids said they wanted seafood. I looked for seafood restaurants in Yelp and found this one. I'm glad I looked, this restaurant is beautiful and well kept. They have a bar outside with live music. The servers are amazing and super helpful. My daughter was stressing because she didn't k ow if she would like Cajun Alfredo sauce, our server brought out a sample for her to try. She was so happy with it she ordered the Cajun pasta. She loved it. My son had the catfish and me and my wife shared the ribeye. It was all perfectly made! We are very happy with our meals. We ordered dessert to go because we were too full to eat it there.

Our very happy family from three states. They had never been to our beautiful gulf. They loved this restaurant!

We had a party of 10 and there was no problems seating us! We dined on the lovely patio. Chris was an incredible server! So attentive and on top of everything! We all ordered starters and everything was delicious! The smoked tuna dip with fried pita wedges was the best we've had. Cajun fried pickles, stuffed mushrooms and fried green tomatoes were all excellent! My cousin ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell and raved. The seafood pasta dishes, fried catfish, okra and po' boy were fabulous. Established by a family in 1973. Highly recommend this excellent seafood house!

Shrimp Cocktail
Foodie W.

2nd time here. 1st time was very good, but it was early. Tonight I came at 7 pm and sat in the Same place but waited 45 minutes for a shrimp cocktail. I gave up on dinner. They really need to provide food support to their patio bartender. Bartender was working hard! Food was still good. Live Music was great.

Daniel B.

Great place , the outside bar has live music at night , the oysters was awesome and big $24 for a dozen baked cheapest in town $18 for raw oysters The shrimp is huge You get your moneys worth here and the staff is great and very nice I will be back here again

Cajun pasta with shrimp and scallops
Sam C.

We had quite the wait to get inside but that's expected at all of these restaurants during tourist season so that never bothers us. Our server was wonderful, she was attentive and very kind. I'm sad i've forgotten her name! The salad bar was great. I got the cajun pasta which was very tasty and filling. My husband got the captain's platter and it was all very fresh and tasty, the mac and cheese may have stolen the show, however. The drink which I forgot the name of was delish! We will definitely be returning!

Yes. Ask for Sergio. Wonderful server

Will there be any live music in May of 2022?

Thanks for asking. We feature live music every night!

How does the waitlist work?

If it's open the option to join will be here on Yelp. If they are really busy though the restaurants can turn that option off unfortunately. If on, you join, and it tells you how long it estimates, when to go get to restaurant and check in with host…

When we first arrived at the resort, we were in awe by the beautiful landscaping. We arrived early and decided to have a cocktail at the resort bar before our dinner reservation at 7:30PM. There was live music in the lounge area. When we checked in for our reservation, we were seated right away by a window, which I requested. The view was nice. Our waitress was quiet and seemed very busy with multiple tables. For appetizers, we ordered the fried quail knots and a bowl of soup. For dinner, we ordered the duroc pork chop and 10 oz filet. For sides, we ordered Bayside Blue Mac and Potato Hash. Overall, everything was VERY rich and decadent, heavy. The pork chop was tough, the filet was very thick and tough, the sides were salty, saucy, and heavy. Overall, the resort is nice and the view inside the restaurant is pretty but the food was too heavy and rich for my liking.

Great Food and good service. This is our 2nd visit on vacation. Plan on coming back again next year.read more

Finally stopped into the newest steak place in Orange Beach the expectations were high but my…read morerecent visit was a bit underwhelming. The venue is nice, the service good, but the food was just okay. Located right on Canal Road, this spot sits in the building that used to house a favorite local breakfast joint before transitioning into this casual steak and seafood concept. The name BOLO actually stands for "Bear on the Lookout," which ties into their sister restaurant over at Bear Point Harbor. When you pull up, you will find plenty of easy, dedicated parking right out front. Inside, they have completely transformed the space into a cozy, casual vibe with dim lighting, rustic wood accents, comfortable booth seating, and a nice indoor bar area. Most reviews online have been generally solid, averaging around four stars, with folks usually praising the upscale atmosphere and friendly staff. The crowd favorites on the menu typically include their hand-cut ribeye steaks, the prime rib, broiled oysters, and their unique collard green grilled cheese small plate. I tried a wide variety of their offerings, the bread was just okay, coconut shrimp was very disappointing, the chopped salad was quite good, the wings were different and not bad but not great, my friend's prime rib steak sandwich was fair, but the fries were not good. Unfortunately my ribeye was average at best but that's where the underwhelming really hit home. The place was pretty empty, and it might because of the food, but the same folks that own this previously had an extra special breakfast spot here and I had my hopes that this would just special. I will go back again down the road and give them a try and hope that they improve their food.

One kinda neat thing they offer is a "make your own cocktail sauce" station at your table. I was thrilled to see a COLD water lobster roll. So, that was my obvious choice along with premium fries ( not sure what made them special, they were merely crinkle cut ) All in all a good meal

I'd give them a 3.5 if I could…read more We started with the gumbo. The roux was thin. We both agreed the gumbo was ok, definitely not, "the world's best," but better than some. It had just the right amount of kick to it. My husband ordered a half dozen oysters but promptly sent them back without even tasting them as they were tiny. He likes them big and briny smh. I ordered the, "the best shrimp in the civilized world." I don't know about that but they were pretty good. They were cooked perfectly. The shrimp was tender, not overcooked or rubbery, and the batter was crunchy without the inside being mushy or overcooked as fried shrimp can sometimes be. Could've used a tad more salt if seasoning but I'm guessing they want the freshness of the shrimp to be more forward than anything else. The baked potato was super hot and oiled perfectly; no hard pieces to get through. The cole slaw was good. The hush puppies were too; contain corn. My husband ordered the grilled seafood platter w/ swai fish, crab cakes (he wasn't impressed), shrimp skewer, & peel & eat shrimp, w/ green beans, cole slaw, & hush puppies. His gumbo came with his meal. He rated his meal a C & I gave mine a B-. The shrimp was good. I was slightly annoyed with having to make my own cocktail sauce but liked my concoction. It was a new experience. Our server was attentive w/o being overbearing & provided very good service while managing to attend to another table and you he closing tasks. My meal was hot and fresh. The restaurant is very casual with plenty of TVs to watch around the dining room. They have a gift shop of sorts as you enter and a nice outside area with corn hole, green turf, & cafe lights; real cute area.

One thing that stood out was the gift shop at the entrance--it could definitely use a refresh. The dark corner filled with outdated beach clothing isn't the best first impression. We visited on a Tuesday around 7:00 p.m., and there was no wait. During our meal, only about four tables were occupied, so it was very quiet. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and checked on us frequently. The only odd part of the atmosphere was that cartoons were playing on the bar TVs even though there weren't any kids in the restaurant. For dinner, my husband ordered the surf and turf, and his steak was cooked perfectly. The baked potato, however, came with an overwhelming amount of melted cheese--enough for several potatoes. I ordered the blackened grouper. It was cooked well and had good flavor, but the fillet was very thin and wasn't as memorable as other grouper dishes I've had. The whipped sweet potatoes were sweeter than expected from the brown sugar, and the Brussels sprouts were heavily coated in a sweet balsamic glaze, leaving them soft instead of crispy. I think both sides would be better with less added sweetness to let the natural flavors shine. We finished with the Bananas Foster, which was delicious and a fun presentation. It came with three small scoops of vanilla ice cream and half a banana. Since the flaming presentation takes a little time, larger scoops of ice cream would hold up better and not be half melted by the time the fire goes out. We would come back to avoid wait at other restaurants but would try different side dishes next time.

Like it's almost insane. I work in mobile so I'm already crabby for the one hour and twenty minute drive to and from there. I told my daughter I'd take her out to eat. We came here. To my surprise- not many people at all. The bartender was our server she was incredibly tentative and nice. We ordered crab dip 7/10. I would like to see it paired with chips instead of bread stick. I got the catch of the day with a loaded baked potato and side salad which that to me was a 8.5/10. I was so full and so excited for my left overs. The manager was checking on every one and offered my daughter fish food. At this point I have paid and we went to go feed the fish and when we came back everything on the table was gone. My bill was 92 which might be normal for 2 people here I'm not too sure yet. But I was so disappointed. My daughter said it was the best butter noodles she ever had and she ate up the bread.

Fire Cracker Shrimp Fried Rice - 9.2 I order this every time we visit. It is my favorite dish of all the places we visit each year at the beach. It may not be the best but definitely my favorite and in the top 3 as far as best goes. The fried egg on top really puts it over the top although, I do wish it was runny and not cooked through. Gyoza - 7.0 Has a lot of filling which is good however, it isn't very seasoned or flavorful. They appeared to be fried however, not very crispy. We try gyoza at nearly any restaurant we visit that has it on the menu. Comparing this to other gyoza's, it's good but not great. Tuna Lovers Roll - 7.8 Roll was good but a little too spicy. The spice was expected obviously but still a tad too spicy. It also lacked the correct amount of sauce in my opinion. It also needed another ingredient or two to take it to the next level. Sesame Cracker w/ Honey Butter - 8.4 I rated it a little higher due to the originality. I have eaten at restaurants in half the States that make up this country and have never had toasted sesame crackers with honey butter. It is a thing in the South to have saltines, club cracker, etc. with butter at seafood and steak restaurants. However, I haven't seen this combo. It was good and not too filling.
