This little sleeper of a place was quite the surprise. When we pulled up there was very little business which caused us concern. We were seated immediately by the staff and sat outside with awesome views of the marina. For an appetizer we chose the crab and shrimp dip served with naan bread. The dip had plenty of meat and sprinkled with thinly sliced parm. The naan bread was hot as well. I chose the Bayou Cajun Pasta that was full of sausage, shrimp, crawfish and peppers. It was piping hot and the spicy level was high but not spicy hot. My son had the shrimp and fish basket. The shrimp were large and perfectly prepared. The fish came with the tail fin on it and was delicious. Finally my daughter-in-law had the shrimp scampi and she said it was delightful. Thanks for the great food and service. read more

Service was great, we had Andrew, there's no shortage of nice people in my his area. The ambiance is amazing, waterfront with outdoor seating - it is limited, I'm sure it's in high demand on nice days. I want to love this food, it was just ok. At the table, we hade a ribeye and fish/shrimp basket - they weren't bad, just not 5 star. They also add a service charge of 3.5% to their bill total. This just gets me (which you tip on, if you use their calculator), just increase your costs where you need it. read more

Sit outside if you go-the marina is nice. it's very loud inside and the sounds echo. Food was just ok. They are very busy and get the food out fast. read more

Started out with the pinacolda. Loved it! Then the shrimp and crab dip was a great addition to afternoon snack read more

Barometer Waterfront Grill - Tiki Bars Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Came in with a larger party of over 50+ people, so the circumstances were a bit different. Each table was waited on by a team of 4-5 servers. They did an exceptional job. The inside of the restaurant was beautifully designed, with an upscale beach vibe right on the marina. As well as, a tiki bar for drinks and more food options. Lots of outdoor seating is available during the warmer months. Offering a lunch/brunch menu from 10am-3pm mon-sat, opened at 9am on sunday and dinner menu till close. I had the Shrimp Scampi & brussel sprouts to eat and the Orange Beach Sangria. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The pasta had an overpowering lemon flavor and the brussel sprouts in a vinegar-like dressing. Overall, this was a good experience wise from service to ambiance, but the food could have been better. read more

The food was very good! I had the chicken Alfredo! Expect for my step dads chicken was raw. The service was very fast and efficient. The place was calm and nice I liked how the place felt. It is a perfect place if you and your family want a nice relaxing place to have dinner! read more

Excellent accommodations for my husband's alpha gal allergy. Even though our server had not heard of it, she was able to recommend the dishes that would be safe after I explained his limitations. Very good view of the harbor and a nice meal! read more

This is becoming a go to place along Canal Rd. The Brunch/Lunch menu is a great value. Portions are satisfying and menu items are varied for different tastes. Dinner menu is also very good. The staff is great! Attentive, but not hovering. The view of the marina adds to the indoor/outdoor seating options. Additionally, they are able to accommodate large, planned, group functions. As local, this is the type of place that makes you want to return again and again. read more

Do not be fooled by previous reviews.... New ownership has taken over and it's NOT good.... We there to get the wonderful looking crab dip in the iron skillet.... NOPE.... It is not served in an iron skillet, wasn't hot, and the cheese on top was not melted.... Over seasoned and too salty. Also, I ordered the crab cakes for around $37 .... Absolute trash.... The cakes were cold on the inside and mushy... hardly cooked... it was like they made the mix for the crab cake in a bowl.... And didn't cook it! That is what I ate two bites of.... Raw egg and fishy smelling old crabmeat. I had the gumbo which was hot.... And not bad.... But the crackers they gave me were horribly stale..: no Tabasco either.... What? You don't have Tabasco? The waiter was fantastic.... And we tipped 25%.... But we are local and will not be back! Horrible food and horrible price.... I noticed the waiter looking at my plate (With only two bite).... He asked if we wanted a "to go" plate and we said yes just so he wouldn't feel bad.... We immediately threw it away in the nearest garbage can outside.... Go somewhere else.... You have been warned! read more

We happened to be in Orange beach and stopped in unexpectedly. We were able to sit upstairs that has a view over the marina. The fresh breeze was very relaxing and the staff were all around very friendly and professional. The food was top shelf as were the drinks. We were pleasantly surprised and will be back! read more

I have eaten here a few times, with a large group and just my kids. Each time everything was absolutely delicious. We tried so many dishes from two kinds of salads, to the ahi sandwich, chicken sandwich, empanadas, seafood appetizer dips and LOTS of drinks! Everything was amazing. My kids loved their burgers! The service was fast and super friendly. The restaurant itself is in such a beautiful location and the views are amazing. Came a few times with live music upstairs which was really a great atmosphere. Being your friends, you'll win points for great taste! read more

We have been twice now and have been pleased with each visit. They kept a lot of the previous places ambiance which is very beachy upscale but casual at the same time. Our first trip in we sat in the dining room and enjoyed the service we received. Both of us had a fish dish and an app of the hot crab dip which was a winner. Next time in we chose to sit at the bar and received excellent service from the bartenders. We got the crab dip again and also split a fish sandwich. The cocktails were great as well. We will return and try some new dishes again soon and recommend a visit! read more

Both of our seafood dishes were outstanding and plentiful. It hasn't changed much since the other restaurant was there decor wise. The was I'm sure a little new; needs more training on the menu. The bill comes with the 3.5 % already on it figured in to the total. Not much in the way of specials which are needed this time of year. Just a caution make sure you look at your bill. The 4 stars are because of the food. read more

Apparently, Barometer has been operating in the old Playa space and we never knew. After one visit, it's our new go-to place for brunch (and we'll be trying it for dinner as well). With our server's recommendation, we tried the Shrimp & Crab Dip--which was PHENOMENAL--and enjoyed the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles together with a few passes at the Mimosa Bar. Everything was delicious, and our J.D. our server made sure that we remained happy throughout. I cannot recommend him or this place highly enough. Pricing is also quite reasonable and the view is lovely. Go, enjoy and help spread the word!! read more

The shrimp and crab dip will bring us back over and over again! Our server offered several recommendations and we landed on the blackened grouper and the Mediterranean bolognese... delicious! We'll be back to try the bananas foster bread pudding! read more

Beautiful view of the water from their patio. Service was slow. Food was alright. I ordered the BLT which was pretty good, with roasted potatoes. The restaurant only had a few other guests when we arrived ... hopefully missing whatever meal rush (before or after)... but it took a while to get our food. :( our server was nice. read more

Very good service and the food was quite good. I will be going back to have a few drinks and unwind. Laid back atmosphere.. Thank you. Jeannie Wilson read more

I had high hopes for this one...unfortunately, it was a mixed bag. The cheese curds were excellent. The fried fish and shrimp platters were good. My grouper was great, but my wife's not so much. The gouda grits were thick, like stuffing. Maybe that's just how they make them, but honestly, seemed like gouda thanksgiving stuffing. Unfortunately, the service was poor. Andrew disappeared for long stretches of time and left me with the check for a long time. I tried to get his attention for some ketchup for a few minutes, but had to walk back to the kitchen door and ask someone for it. Honestly, the service killed it for me. It started raining during dinner and forced some customers outside to come inside. I'm sure this factored into the experience. read more

We went to celebrate our anniversary. William was our server and he was excellent making the experience top notch. We both enjoyed our meals. I had the grilled grouper; husband had the blackened redfish. read more

Great atmosphere and views, just don't let them put you in a corner, the staff might keep overlooking you if you need something.

The Staff will recommend the Shrimp and Crab Dip - LISTEN - it's gold in a cast iron skillet. Blacked Redfish is highly recommended - great flavor, great texture, and Barometer makes Brussel Sprouts something special. The Restaurant is independently owned and it tastes like it. Skip the other spots and go to here. Great environment and Awesome personable service on top of it all. read more

Good food, a stunning view from the second floor open deck. Service was great and there was music! What more could you ask for?!

The atmosphere upon arriving to the hostess was excellent, but it went downhill from there. The calamari was chewy and covered in oil, the crab dip was mediocre, and the chargrilled oysters had no sauce or juices left--just bland and pale, as if they hadn't hit a hot grill, but were cooked in an oven. The blackened grouper entrée was okay, but the grits were cold. As someone from New Orleans who knows good food, AVOID!!!! Run from this place... Also, check out the reviews on OpenTable read more

Enjoyed this spot. Server had a great personality and was very helpful. The crab dip was great. We saw a pirate ship sail by during dinner! read more

Food was borderline inedible and I NEVER write reviews to complain but this was so bad. The conch fritters were burnt and yet somehow still raw but to the point I had to spit it out. The grits were maybe cooked in the morning and left to dry not sure what was going on. Bread was so stale and crusty on my sandwich. We left feeling so confused about our experience as we heard very good things. Our server however, was SO great and sweet he took very good care of us. Seemed to be the only one working and was doing an incredible job. Decor was cute! read more

After reviewing the menu... We couldn't wait to come in and try both the drinks and the food. Although it was a colder day, the view is spectacular and the service was off the charts. J.D. was our server... He gave us great recommendations. Highly recommend crab dip and the grouper with the Oscar topper. Great find!! read more

The food here was very mid. It was similar to an overpriced sports bar but the setting seemed like a hotel beach bar. Our server and host were really nice. Our food came out at a pretty quick pace also. We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer and that was the highlight of the meal. The conch fritters and burger were okay. The fries were really good too!! read more

My review takes into consideration a new restaurant, which always has kinks to work out. I've tried every restaurant at this location since the original (I believe) Bayside Grille. It's a wonderful location with beautiful views. Easy to get there by car or boat or golf cart. I would love for this restaurant to succeed. My friend and I went at 2:00 in the afternoon. I had the shrimp scampi, which I thought was delicious! We split the amazing shaved Brussels and my friend had the burger and fries. The food was very good! My only complaint would be that, considering we were the only people in the restaurant, the service was slow. We ended up having to walk up to the front to find our server in order to pay. It's a bright and beautiful space with great views. Ambiance 10/10. Worth a try! read more

Views are restaurant were very nice. The food was well below par. Six people in our party and no one thought their food was tasty.

Great food and service. Atmosphere was amazing and we really enjoyed everything. The food for the price was great

Excellent food Excellent service and great selection of food to enjoy. A little hard to find but well worth hunting for

We had a party of 20 celebrating a birthday. Someone came by and put bottles of water on our table, but we didn't have any glasses. we had to ask twice for glasses. We ordered drinks and it took about 30 min. to get drinks. We finally got to order food. It took about an hour to get our food. They weren't that busy. Our server was way over her heard. She was flustered every time she came to our table. One person in our party asked the manager for help and she told her that she doesn't help the servers. Food is sub par. The server had to redo our checks 3 times. We got there at 5:30 and left at 9:00. I don't plan on going back. read more
