    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.

    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

    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!

    Cocktail shrimp
    Mark W.

    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.

    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.

    Parmesan crusted grouper, spinach and truffle mashed potatoes.

    Atmosphere was average for a busy restaurant. I sat at the bar for dinner. Ordered the parmesan crusted grouper which came with truffle mashed potatoes (too salty) and spinach sides for 46.00. The grouper was over cooked and dry even with the caper sauce which stopped any possibility of crusty exterior. It became soggy. Maybe trying to make up for the dry fish. Service was good from the bar tender. Attentive and friendly. Not worth the price.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cajun White Fish with Seasonal Veggies

    We enjoyed our lunch here! The food was great and in fair-sized portions for the price. The server did an acceptable job and the food came out in a timely manner.

    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.

Unfortunately my fish and potatoes were cold, cold and butter congealed. The greens were warm and good I had also ordered the cornbread. It was refreshing to see that it wasn't the usual cake like kind, plus not the ultra sweet kind either. More bread like with a hint of sweetness. Delicious. The fish and potatoes had a nice flavor but unfortunately the cold food spoiled the experience. Since I was a guest of my sister I didn't say anything about the cold food. What a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be better.

We arrived and was told an hour and…read moreforty five minute wait, which we were fine with because they were very busy and we didn't arrive super hungry in case the wait was long. We went to the outside bar to have some drinks while we wait to be sat. The bartender, Chris, was super energetic and quick. We saw him pouring someone else a bushwhacker, which is my favorite drink, and asked if he makes a good one. He replied "I make the best one", and he was absolutely correct. We were sat after less than an hour, and our waitress Haley was amazing. She was friendly the entire night and we had great banter with her. We ordered crab claws as an appetizer and they were cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the Surf-n-Surf and I ordered the Bronzed Grouper. Haley checked in with us often, and after some time she realized we hadn't received our dinner. She went to check on it, and there was a technical issue with their handheld and it hadn't gotten rung in. My husband and I weren't upset because we understand how it is in the restaurant industry, and sometimes technology fails. We didn't ask for a manager, but one came out and spoke to us and apologized, which we appreciated. We received dinner shortly after that, and it was some of the best seafood we've ever had. We ordered the creole cheesecake and chocolate cake to take home with us, and they were both phenomenal as well. When it came time to pay, my husbands card wasn't working properly, so he went to grab mine from the car. Haley was patient with us the entire time. It truly was a magical night we were able to share together and we can't thank Cobalt enough for helping us achieve that.

They serve it with French bread and it was a great tool to eat the sauce with!

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.

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.
