This place came highly recommended, and after all the hype, it unfortunately didn't live up to the…read moresky-high expectations. That said, I still had a good experience overall--my wallet and cholesterol just might disagree. We showed up as a large group of 13 people with five separate checks, and our server handled it like an absolute pro. Everything was correct, and their patience at the end of a long day deserves major props. Parking was a pleasant surprise--a spacious private lot conveniently located right by the soccer fields. As for the food, we opted for the fried shrimp because everyone had talked it up. The portion looked big, but most of that was the thick breading. The shrimp inside was tiny and unfortunately lacked flavor. It wasn't bad, just bland and overshadowed by the heavy coating. The restaurant itself is huge and perfect for large parties. I definitely recommend calling ahead. They offer TVs, a salad bar, and a full range of drinks--from cocktails to beer. It's very family-friendly. Prices felt a bit high for the portion sizes, but to be fair, seafood is always on the pricier side. They do offer non-seafood options too, which is nice for anyone in your group who isn't a seafood fan

We've eaten at the Original Doc's numerous times over 25 years. You'd think the place that openly advertises "The Best Fried Shimp AND Gumbo in the civilized WORLD", could at least compete! Neither were even close. The Gumbo was mostly Okra, very little "Seafood" and watery, not even a roux. The shrimp, undercooked and flavorless.

It's the food folks go there for. The oysters were fresh and served in a simple appealing way. The fish was white and firm and delicious. The grilled shrimp they are famous for do not have a savory flavor, tastes more like they were grilled with honey on them. We were not expecting that at all. We did not like the 30 dollars worth of sweet shrimp. It does come in very generous portion if you like that type of flavor. Hush puppies were pretty darn good, light, nicely seasoned with good flavor. The Cole slaw was excellent. All portions were generous. Overall they are friendly, the service is personable and efficient! Ambiance is that of a local diner style, not fancy just comfortable. We liked everything but the sweet grilled shrimp. We are from the north and maybe it is just a southern style we aren't familiar with or used to consuming. The gumbo is pretty good too. They have great mixed drinks and they have one that is a salted caramel flavor that is really excellent. Overall: would highly recommend for a good meal and friendly service. Probably the best place we ate in the Orange Beach area.

The appetizers were delicious (seafood stuffed mushrooms and fried pickles), and the entrees were gigantic. What made the trip a 10/10 for us is the management. I had a medical episode and the manager, our waitress, and the owner of the restaurant sat with my family and me until the ambulance arrived. Not only did the owner refuse our money and paid for our entire meal, he also made sure our waitress was tipped as well. Fantastic place to eat, and the owner is an angel. We will be back every single time we come down to our home away from home.

I just had the Mole Veracruzano, and let me tell you--the mole sauce (yes, the one made with dark chocolate) was so good I was practically drooling at the table. It's rich, it's bold, and it made me seriously reconsider every life decision that's kept me from eating here sooner. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew went for the Quesabirrias, and many other dishes just look at the pictures.. but guess what? Not a single complaint. And trust me, if something wasn't right, I'd have heard about it. Instead, all I heard was the sound of happy chewing. Do yourself a favor--stop in, eat like a king, and when you see Brenda, tell her the Riders sent you. (That's Glen--aka Tweety--and Ron--aka 1/2 Time--if you're wondering.)

Bottom line: Excellent food, authentic flavors, and the kind of experience that makes you wonder why you ever settled for mediocre tacos.

We seated immediately upon entering the restaurant by a very nice and friendly hostess. Our server came to get our order briefly, explained the menu and gave us time to make a decision. The decor is typical of a seafood restaurant. There are plastic crabs on the wall, pictures of beaches and other sea life. The service is very friendly and fast. The food itself was presented well flavored well and very tasty. I ordered the grilled flounder which came with coleslaw hush puppies and two sides. My chosen sides were sweet potato fries, and broccoli. Everything tasted delicious and was not too salty. My friend ordered the seafood platter. All of her meal was fried and looked very good. My friend was disappointed because she visits every year and noticed that they had removed white fish from the menu. Regardless of this disappointment, we enjoyed our food and probably will return.

Review: Even going during an off-peak time, Lambert's Cafe was completely packed--and it's easy to see why. The food here is great and incredibly plentiful. The catfish was excellent, and the iced tea was top-notch (plus, it comes served in a giant mug that I loved). The absolute highlight of the meal is the massive, fresh-baked "Throwed Rolls" being tossed across the room, alongside the servers walking around handing out generous extra portions of sides like fried okra. You definitely won't leave here hungry. Cons: The restaurant stays incredibly crowded and packed with people, even if you try to visit during off-times. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up! I would absolutely go back.

Unfortunately, that was the high point of the evening. When our table was ready, the hostess had us follow her, then abruptly stopped and sent us back to the hostess stand. We followed her again to a different table, got everyone settled, and then she returned with another party and informed us that we had been seated at the wrong table and needed to move. We were relocated to a rickety table beside the bathrooms. Once seated for the second time, we waited 10 minutes with no server, no menus, and no silverware. Various employees walked by offering pass-arounds of okra and rolls, but no one seemed responsible for our table. After another 10 minutes, one member of our party finally got up and retrieved menus for us. When our server eventually arrived to take drink orders, we mentioned that we still didn't have silverware. Someone later brought six sets of silverware--for a party of seven. We then waited another 10 minutes. Still no drinks. Still no silverware for the seventh guest. Still no butter, condiments, or anything to accompany the rolls that had been handed out. At that point, after 90 minutes from the time we arrived and without receiving a single drink or placing a food order, we made the decision to leave. I've eaten at plenty of busy restaurants and understand that mistakes happen. What was frustrating was the complete lack of organization, communication, and urgency from start to finish. Being seated at the wrong table was unfortunate. Waiting an hour after being seated without drinks or basic table service was unacceptable. We left hungry, frustrated, and genuinely shocked that a restaurant could be operating this chaotically. It was one of the worst dining experiences our family has ever had.
