We had a great time! The atmosphere was gorgeous, with live music and some of the most reasonable prices we've found in the area. Both the kids and adults left happy, which is always a bonus. We enjoyed the charbroiled oysters, mozzarella sticks, blackened shrimp tacos, cheesesteaks, fried shrimp, and key lime pie--everything was delicious. Our server, Hailey, was fantastic. She was attentive and proactive without constantly interrupting our conversation, and she kept the drink refills coming the entire meal. We would highly recommend Flora-Bama Ole River Grill and will definitely be back! read more

So happy we went to Flora Bama and ate at the Ole River Grill. The location is unmatched and the views are gorgeous. We were seated with an awesome water view. Our server grabbed our drink order and app order right away. We did mozz sticks, wings, oysters, mac and cheese, and some kids meals. Everyone was happy with their food and drinks. The vibes were so upbeat and fun. This was great for a family with kids. After we ate, we walked across the street to get some photos, hear some live music, and shop the store. This is such a great spring break stop! read more

The spot to be for views of the bay, outdoor seating, a chill hangout with a group, or simply catching a game on tv. We love grabbing a drink and enjoying our favorite app, the Key Lime Shrimp, raw oysters + a blackened grouper plate. It's easy, it's usually fast, and our dishes always come out right. read more

Came in on a Thursday evening right at 9:00, they close at 10. No frozen drinks available as the frozen machines were broken down already. The employees had already put chairs on top of the tables in the closed sections and we were given plastic eating utensils. Felt like the employees didn't want us there. Food was decent. Nothing spectacular though. We ate quickly and were out before 10. We used to go here every summer with family and had fond memories of this place. Won't be back after this. read more

Great experience, Mercedies took great care of us, even if though we came in less than an hour before closing we love her!!!

Everything we ate was excellent! I ordered the key lime shrimp on the appetizer menu and had the key lime pina colada as my first drink. Though not a big fan of frozen drinks it was for sure a great choice. My daughter-in-law got the famous Bushwacker with a floater. Price for 5 of us to eat lunch and for a few drinks was right at $100. Not too bad at all considering we are on the beach. Our waiter was great, but didn't come by very often. Our drinks often went dry for a while. With that said, he was the only one we saw working outside, my hubby says I am not allowed to be negative. Husband had the fried shrimp basket and other then only having 2 hush puppies one in which he gave to our son to try, it was amazing. Son and fiancé had the grilled chicken sandwich. Son and husband recommend Cole slaw as your side. Either way it's not badly priced being on the water! So go out there and grab you some lunch! read more

Absolutely best place for an awesome experience great food and great vibe 10 beyond a doubt

Ate there last night. The restaurant was empty. That was great since we have waited 30 to 45 minutes in the past. Being here offseason is highly recommended. Alex was our server and he was great. The food was good as always. Sitting on the water, looking at boats and having a great meal is the best way to live. read more

Flora-Bama Ole River Grill - Shrimp corn dip and fried grouper bites - Seafood Near Me - Perdido Key, Florida

We came here last week on our vacation to Gulf Shores for the very first time. This place is outstanding, as all the food was absolutely delicious. Hailey was our server and did a very good job. The smoked tuna dip is amazing, as well as the shrimp and Mexican street corn dip. I would love to have the recipe for that. Overall, this was our best food of the trip as there really wasn't anything that wasn't very good. The drinks were also very good. We bought several souvenirs from here lol. read more

Patricia is the most amazing sever we've ever had! She was very nice and had amazing food would come here again!

Our nephew took us (there was 12 total) here on 7/14. He had been there prior. Our server Pat took very good care of all 12. I only took photos of my husband and my plates. My husband had the Grouper Platter with fries and hush puppies. I had a dozen of oysters and a salad. Food was delicious and I had all the oysters to myself (no one in our party cared for a one). The Key Lime Colada is a must try. We sat outside wheee you could see the boats pull in and go by. Very beautiful scenery. The decor was very nice and we found a few things in the store part of the restaurant. read more

It has been YEARS since I've been to Flora-Bama. It is very different than what it used to be. We went to the restaurant side, there were 9 of us. We were able to sit at the bar and eat our meal and order drinks. The bartender was amazing. The views of the water were outstanding! The drinks were good (although small), food was great, and service impeccable. After our meal we got our 2 families together for amazing pictures and one of the waitresses gladly jumped up on a chair and took our pictures. The shrimp and grits were AMAZING!!! The raw oysters were some of the best I've had in a really long time. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. read more

Always our go to when we have guests visiting. Usually pretty busy during peak times, but have never had to wait. We enjoy sitting out in the sand on the picnic benches where we can watch the boats come and go and usually they have a singer playing on the outdoor stage. Food is always on point and the price is average for a touristy place. read more

Nice establishment with great views of the water. All the employees were super nice. I ordered the crab claws which were delicious. They do have an elevator to take you upstairs if you are unable to handle the stairs. Highly recommend. They also have souvenirs for purchase. read more

You can tell by the name where this restaurant sits. Water side view of the local terrain has boats passing by and pulling out as we waited on our food. The water was relaxing. The waiter was very attentive and took great care of us. We noticed that it was customary to write on the walls saying that you had visited the establishment. Pretty cool. I ordered the crab legs and there was plenty and enough to take back with me. The place had a rustic look to it. The food was good and the prices were even better. Crab claws were $28. Most reasonable price I can call in any restaurant I have ever been. Yes I recommend this place. read more

We were told by the downstairs bartender to seat ourselves, and right away a friendly and knowledgeable server came over to take care of us. Service was quick and on point. The food came out fast and everything was delicious! We had the loaded tots, a burger, chicken sandwich, and fish tacos -- all cooked perfectly and full of flavor. No complaints at all. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and welcoming. This has been our best dining experience in Orange Beach so far -- we'll definitely be back! read more

Hit this well known plethora of restaurants in Perdido area between the states. We strolled the beach side Oyster bar which has a bar crawl vibe. We relocated to the Ole River Grille on the back bay side. Very chill and watched the dolphins play as we relaxed. Carlos was quick and very observant to our needs. We had the poor boy fish sammich and the oysters. Good stuff. This time of year it's pretty laid back and un crowded - relaxing with all the snowbirds. Would go again read more

Unfortunately would not recommend. The service was not good. Our waiter did not check on us hardly at all and seemed very rushed when he did. They can't seat parties larger than 4 outside which was unfortunate for our group of 5. The food was just okay. There are much better restaurants around the area in my opinion. read more

Saturday evening about 7 pm, with Alabama on tv, so a 45 minute wait can be expected. No problem, that's time to have a drink or two at the bar. Was seated within the 50 minute range, good so far. The server came by took our drink order and order for a dozen chargrilled oysters. When he brought our drinks he asked for our entrée order, which was fine, but I stipulated to not serve our entrée before we had our oysters. Oysters came out, no silverware, I motioned to him twice, we needed silverware. We were only half finished with our oysters when our meals came to the table. Chargrilled oysters was ok, not bad but not Dragos. The shrimp and grits was good and the mac and cheese with shrimp was good too. It is what it is, this isn't fine dining. However, for a $86.00 tab the meal could have been better. It's a touristy place, so stick with bar type food. read more

Flora-Bama Ole River Grill - Seafood Near Me - Perdido Key, Florida

At first, we stopped across the street at their music venue and found out that they had a extremely limited selection there and they recommended we come over to the old river Grill. We checked in with the host and he took us to our seat. We sat there for at least 15 minutes with a waitress, checking on tables to both sides of us. My wife finally said hello to her and she stopped and asked if we had been helped yet, and we replied no. She noted she would get our server. I'm guessing that led off to a less than good experience overall. Our adult beverages were good, I thought my bloody Mary was pretty good! We ordered our meals, half dozen raw oysters and a half dozen oysters McClellan for me and fish tacos for my wife. I asked that the oysters come out together, they did not. My wife enjoyed her fish tacos. We might have to try it again to see if service improves. read more

Stopped here from our day on the water. We went upstairs and had a large party (12 people). Started off with the Key Lime Colada drinks, which were delicious and refreshing after being in the hot sun all day. Our waiter, Devin, had a rough table, but did an excellent job. There were some issues with the food order, but think it was our tables fault of not being there when the food came out and mixed up with others at the table. I got the blackened fish po' boy. It was alright and not very blackened, but I was hungry and ate it all with good crunch fries. read more

It is exactly what I knew it was going to be: a complete tourist trap. The service was ok, but the food was lackluster at best. But we had to come to this bar/restaurant because of what it is. We came, we ate, and the food sucked. It was just not me; several people in our large group were not happy with the taste of it. I mean look at how much of a trap it is, they have generic ketchup and not even real ketchup (Heinz or Hunt). But, I knew this goes against everything that I learned: "If you can see the water and the water can see you," do not expect to have a good meal! If you decide to eat here, do not expect much AT ALL! read more

I've eaten here a couple times over the years but I have to say this was my favorite time. I didn't get pics of our chargrilled oyster but they were tasty! We opted for some game day specials, so 12 wings and fries. Did half garlic Parmesan and the other half medium. I had been craving fries and these don't disappoint, they just switched over to these fries and the seasoning on them were very good! It was a rainy day so not much of a wait, this place is great to go if you want to sit down eat at one of the FloraBama locations and want something a little less casual (although this is still causal) and more fully closed in. They do also have seating on the deck, tv's and a full bar. read more

The food is mediocre with a high price, all mixed drinks are served in small plastic cups, with 12-18 dollar price tags. One appetizer of fried pickles, two mixed drinks, and one beer was almost 60.00 Never again, and the Manager was Rude. Other than that the ambiance was good. Thanks for the reply, but no thanks! Unfortunately the only bad experience we had was there. Our Party of 8, all left at 8:00 pm in search of food before every thing closed, when there was ample seating available downstairs, yet we were told that we wouldn't get seated till after closing time. read more

Ole River Grill is across the street from the original Flora-Bama and right next to the Flora-Bama Yacht Club. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating right next to the water. They offer a menu with a concise but good selection that mainly focuses on seafood and sandwich offerings. They have a nice selection of fish options and can do combos of different seafood items prepared fried, grilled or blackened. They offer some quite nice burgers here as well and of course you have plenty of adult beverage options to wash everything down with as well. It seems Flora-Bama is set to take over the world at this rate and I can't wait for the Flora-Bama condos so I won't have to walk so far to get to Flora-Bama world.
