This is one of those standard tourist spots. The food is decent quality, even if it is a little pricey. Half of the price is to pay for the view; which is absolutely outstanding. The beach access made it easy for us to walk back to our condo after dinner as well. read more

NO TO GO ORDERS. Odd approach to success turning away the highest revenue generating customers. But there ya have it. No to go orders. The hostess stated their kitchen was backed up, and about 90% of the seats were vacant. Which signals a staffing issue, which indicates another managerial issue. Also, don't bring fido regardless of the expansive patio. All of the customers were light beer swilling guys with Salt Life stickers on their rwd pickups. read more

Great Atmosphere! My sister and I agreed that the inside restaurant felt like we were at a fancy all inclusive resort! Food and service were top notch! Had lunch there last week with my sister and brother and law at the outdoor beach bar! Service and food were also amazing. The manager even stopped by our table to chat about our experience. Everyone there is super nice! read more

The restaurant and location are stunning. It's one of the biggest I've ever seen. The breakfast options, food quality, and drinks were mid. I can't speak to their dinner options. They have a gift shop with more branded swag in one place then I've ever seen. A lot of the swag is high quality. read more

The atmosphere is fantastic. The scenery is stunning, being right on the beach. Indoor and outdoor seating options, as well as bar seating - we chose outdoor. The service was excellent, and the food tasted phenomenal and came out fast and hot. I don't know what they use to season the crab claws, shrimp, and even the French fries, but it was heavenly. There's a stage setup and they have live music there outdoors. There's a whole retail store/gift shop you can browse while you wait for your food, or go walk through afterwards. We will absolutely come back here again when we are in the area. read more

Before coming, I'd recommend reading through the reviews. I saw mention of a dress code and noticed the owner said it was listed on their website--but it honestly took me quite a while to actually find it. It wasn't clearly stated online or anywhere on the property that I remember seeing, which was a bit frustrating. That said, the atmosphere is a solid 10/10--really beautiful and definitely the highlight of the experience. The service was also excellent, and our server was attentive and great throughout the night. The food, though, was more of a 6/10. The menu is pretty limited, and the pricing doesn't really match the quality or taste. The appetizers were actually better than several of the entrees at our table. By the end of the night, the bill was pretty hefty, and it felt like we were paying more for the ambiance than the food itself. I'd recommend going if you're specifically looking for a great atmosphere, but there are definitely other spots nearby that offer better food at a more reasonable price. read more

I'm a huge oyster fan, and had to have some recently. We went to Coastal to have a mid-afternoon snack. We kept hearing people mention the pimento cheese oysters, so we ordered a dozen and a couple of Bloody Marys. The BMs were a meal in themselves: okra, olives, a green bean and a huge shrimp complement the drinks. But those pimento cheese oysters! I can't adequately describe how fabulous they were! They come with some garlic bread that you can sop up the delicious butter and garlic remains. The only bad part is that I have to wait until next year to visit and have them again. Meantime, I'll dream of them. read more

The first place we ate at on our first visit to OB in Oct. 2024. We have since moved here and it continues to be our favorite go to place for all meals. The service has never disappointed us. The views are too die for. Cocktails are a bit overpriced and were served in plastic all summer. They weren't that way when we first went, so not sure if it's just easier for them during their busy season. We will find out next week, when we take my CA family that will be visiting there. read more

Such a sweet spot after or before the beach. Staff is friendly and attentive but the food was amazing! Loved sitting outside and just be prepared it can be windy but who can beat that with a view of the ocean! read more

Beautiful view, great food and the service was great! Laura was our waitress and was WONDERFUL! Must visit when in Orange Beach!

Drinks and Food!! Needs improvement on both. Drinks very small for $$$. Food just so so.

Ambience and server were great. Food was stone cold. No reasonable explanation other than meals being prepared beforehand, since the food arrived shortly after we ordered. Grilled vegetables, for example, were soggy and cooler than room temp. Surprising since it wasn't busy at all. The grilled grouper, also cold, had a rubbery texture and was not fresh. Filet was also cold, but cooked perfectly and very tender and tasty. We had a dozen raw oysters as an appetizer...small but good quality. All of that plus 2 machine made pina coladas that had no taste of rum cost $200 including 20% tip. At least the weather and view were perfect, as they were from our condo, where a decent bottle of wine and a takeout pizza would have been better and a lot less expensive. read more

Despite wanting oysters and getting there at around 3 had a great time. The pimento cheese was absolutely incredible. Moved into main dining oysters were delicious. Both are servers were incredible. Maybe just mocktail versions of cocktails would be over the top for me! read more

Waited at bar and got some drinks. Expensive small drinks compared to other high dining locations. Ordered blue crab dip for the app. Coastal burger and tropical shrimp for entrees. Last time dining here was not impressed. Wife made me try this again. So this is the last chance. Waiting on the crab dip. Ok. Not a long wait. Crab was tasty but needed some old bay seasoning. So this is the start of a better experience. Well the burger was a dry over cooked piece of meat. Just like the jerky bacon on top. What a joke of a burger. The fries were good. The shrimp dish was average. So I have no reason to ever come back. Waste of money. Ordered a key lime cheesecake. Guess what. It tastes like a plain cheesecake. ZERO KEY LIME FLAVOR. what the hell is going on with quality control. High end prices and low end flavors. read more

Food was good, nothing spectacular but the view is amazing. Our waitress Leesa could have made our experience better. She had 2 tables and somehow we still had to wait for refills. read more

This was such a disappointing dinner. We had to wait for a table which was fine but the service was so slow. We waited 30 minutes for the appetizers. The crab claws were so skinny with very little crabmeat on them. Another hour until the entrees which no-one really loved.I actually really dislike the tropical shrimp and the fish sandwich did not taste like grouper. Then another long wait for the check. I know the wait on food is not the waitresses fault but she never checked on us or gave us a time frame. No-one seemed to care about what was going on. Its a beautiful building and the view great but skip the food read more

We loved this place. The food was great, the service was impeccable and the ambiance was very relaxed and inviting. We enjoyed our experience and loved listening to the live music. Great place all around. read more

The fooood. Best thing we ate in our 12 days in AL. From Cullman, Muscle Shoals, Florence, Mobile, Dauphin Island to Ft Morgan Gulf Shores,Foley Orange Beach CoastAL leaves you wanting to go back! Friendly servers and bartenders and love the view and vibe looking at the ocean while enjoying the fans misting your face. Tuna Poke and the Pimento Cheese are off the chart scrumptious. Can't wait to go back again. If you're in the area this place is a must!!! read more

J-Mac was a great waitress!! Our food & service was great, will be back before our trip is over!

Food is mediocre and service was poor. Also if you're not an Orange Beach resident you're treated like second class.

We loved dinner so much we came back for breakfast the day we left the beach! Huge atmosphere, either restaurant beach side or bar side. A store to wait around in with their merch. For dinner, I had the gulf fish basket (grilled) w/ fries. The fries were delicious, and the fish was so fresh. My husband had the grouper tacos - very flavorful - he ate every bite. You've got to try the Key Lime Piña colada This morning we started with mimosas, I love that they aren't heavy on the OJ. Husband ordered the Southern Benedict - biscuits, sausage patties, southern gravy, and poached eggs. Bacon breakfast sandwich w/ Gouda cheese and an over easy egg w/ home style potatoes. Absolutely delicious with a beautiful beach side view. Our server Wes was very personable and quick. Opens at 8AM, come for breakfast lunch AND dinner. We've enjoyed it. read more

There are two restaurants right together. One was the more refined restaurant with entrees and the other was the bar and grill side, which is where we ate. We were seated in the green space, which was really nice on a breezy Sunday afternoon. Myles was our server and he was awesome! I can't say enough about his level of service. We ordered some crab claws that plentiful and flavorful. Myles told us the fried ones were the most ordered and I can say I see why. I ordered the grouper tacos, blackened and got the pasta salad. My sister ordered the grouper sandwich and got the fries and once the plates hit the table, I was glad I went with the pasta salad. The pasta salad was plentiful and flavorful. I so enjoyed it. It was full of onions, celery, olives, cheese cubes and peppers with just enough dressing to not make the noodles soggy. I was concerned when I was told I would only get 2 tacos but the pasta salad allowed me to be more than satisfied and full. The grouper was cooked to perfection. The piece of fish on each taco was a nice size. Truly worth eating there. There was live music and awesome views! This is a place I could eat at every day! read more

The view alone is worth 5 stars! Parking is ample and when you walk in you have a choice between the restaurant or the bar. We picked the restaurant. It was a hot day and I wasn't feeling sitting directly outside but I will say I preferred the bar menu to the restaurant menu. We picked to sit under the awning. The hostess gave us a great seat. Shaded but a full beach view. We had cocktails and sandwiches. The grouper was good. The menu said blackened but I didn't taste anything but it was still tasty. My husband' s turkey club was everything. It was thick and good. He even said the bacon was good. You can tell that was made with a purpose. The breakfast potatoes stole the show. Good good. It was an expensive brunch but good. read more

I came to Costal after looking online and saw their deserts. I have a tomato and seafood allergy. my fault for not looking at the menu before hand lol. THEY WERE AMAZING they completely understood my allergies and were amazing at accommodating and reassuring me on my food.

Coastal Orange Beach - this is their filet mignon and fries 100/10 - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

First off, this place is gorgeous! It looks like its own little village inside. All the white buildings really set it apart. The staff were great. We arrived at 4:30 to get our table of 9 a table and they said they could sit us as soon as we all arrived. We waited about 10 minutes for the rest of our party and in the meantime, they took several large parties back. We were worried we would have a wait now like every other place but nope! Once everyone arrived, they sat us immediately. We had a great waitress who helped me find a Virgin strawberry daiquiri on the menu since I couldn't drink with the rest of my group. We ordered the tuna and crab claws as appetizers. Not sure what everyone else ordered (see pictures) but I do know that everyone enjoyed their meals!! For me, I ordered the coastal burger with no mushrooms and it was great! The French fries were the absolute best!! I would 100% recommend this place for anyone in town!! Great food, great scenery, great service, great location!! read more

I came here with 5 other family members, who chose the 8 oz filet mignon- which was excellent for everyone. Then there's me. I ordered the grouper. Nearly $50 for that entree. It was a bit dry, remarkably unremarkable in flavor. MAYBE a 2- 3 oz portion. Im a 6' - 220# man. 2 bites into it, i realized this was going to be a 5-6 man sized bite dinner. I'm not talking about stuffing my mouth with each bite, but what can reasonably be transported by fork from plate to mouth. I started taking anorexic Disney princess sized bites, and it turned into a 10 bite dinner. I will NEVER order the grouper here again. Ive had larger servings better prepared in my local Memphis TN seafood restaurant i frequent. IF ( BIIIIIIG IF) I come here again, I'll get the steak filet. On the upside, our server (so far ) has done an excellent job- yes- i'm writing the review while Im still dining at Coastal. read more

Good food and apps. Cajun oysters were great. Will be back when it's warmer to enjoy the patio.
