    GT's in The Bay is one of our favorite brunch restaurants in Orange Beach. They have a large indoor dining room with a full bar, and also a large patio/deck and full bar out back on Wolf Bay. They have plenty of photo opps on their boardwalk/pier, too! The service has always been top notch, and their dishes are tasty! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Large place on the water. Came for a quick bite and drink. We were seated outside with a great view of the water. The service was good, our server recommended some of the appetizers. The outdoor seating had 2 Big Ass Fans that cooled the entire outside seating area. We tried the Totchos and Firecracker Shrimp. Both were tasty but the shrimp were too thick with the sauce. Beers were cold and ended out lunch with a Bushwacker drink. Overall a good spot to visit.

    Absolutely amazing service And early dinner. Salad bar was amazing and so fresh. The hamburger was as seasoned perfectly and had a wonderful grill flavor. Definitely will be back!! Love the atmosphere!! Loved watching the fish tank in the middle

    We called ahead and were told the wait was 90 min but "they have 2 huge bars and you can eat at a bar". We arrived and were told the wait was 2 hours (we were a party of 3) so we put ourselves on the list and went to see what the bar situation was. The outside bar was PACKED!! and a long line to even order a drink. We finally managed to find 3 seats at the inside bar and after we ordered our drink we got notified our table was ready after only 30 minutes but we stayed at the bar. I ordered the grouper, my mom got the surf and turf and my sister got the firecracker shrimp. We all loved our meals. The grouper was amazing and the grits were to die for!!!

    Everything we ordered was crab claws, kids cheeseburgers, kids chicken fingers, GT's Grouper and the pork chop. Everyone was very happy with their food. My husband loved the pork chop. I ordered GT's Grouper. It was the best fish/meal I have ever had! I'm the person who refuses to eat places I can eat at home when on vacation. Definitely a foodie. It was perfectly crusted, the sauce was delicious, the cheese grits were perfect. Zero complaints! We also ordered the Heath bar blondie and it was good too. Our waiter was great! Visited the table often and stayed on top of our drinks. We loved walking out on the dock and the kids loved playing in the sand area. The restaurant is beautiful and we enjoyed the live music. We'll definitely be back every time we're in town!

    Had an early Forth of July dinner at GT's and the restaurant is so cool. What a view of the bay! I ordered the snow crab and it was delicious! Other orders at my table were the shrimp and grits, creole shrimp and rice, and the brisket and tots with AL sauce. All delicious and everyone was thrilled with their meals. Oh and the pina coladas were tasty!

    We had the GT's Grouper, which is the grilled grouper over cheese grits, topped with spinach and meunìére sauce. OMG! It was the best thing I have ever eaten!! We sat at the bar and service was great! Restaurant has live music and is nicely decorated. Has nice outdoor seating, weather permitting.

    GTs On The Bay was suggested so we decided to beat the crowd and check them out for lunch. As soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted and seated. We noticed the restaurant was tidy but you can tell it's an older establishment, but it had great views with a huge fish tank the middle of the restaurant. They also had a small folk band performing. We were greeted by our waiter and were able to immediately place our orders. I decided I would start off with an appetizer so I ordered a cup of gumbo soup and the salad bar. For lunch, I ordered the shrimp creole. After I was given my plate and visited the salad bar, as soon as I sat back down, my lunch was already served. I definitely appreciate the fast service, but that was too fast to the point where as I ate my soup and salad appetizer when I got to my lunch dish, it was cold. Nonetheless the salad bar was nice. It had a lot of variety of food items and my gumbo soup was so delicious. It was seasoned well and was served hot. I wish I could've taken a pot home with me. The shrimp creole dish was taken home since it was a little cold by the time I could eat it, but it was very delicious and flavorful. For $11, it was a lot of food so the proportion was great. All in all, I enjoyed GTs and will definitely be back again!

    Basic terrible excuse for a shrimpnpoboy was not good bread was hard fries sucked just low food quality

    This place has went belly up First off all the have working here is non Americans from Dominican Republic They are heartless not emotions And the kitchen staff same way Worst food Ive ever got from Gts And we eat here every year for the last 10 years It might look the same but this place terrible now The waitress even took my wife's plate and she wasn't even done with it What low class workers they have here now I will not eat here again until they change the staffing

    Good food. I got the Kid Noodles with Alfredo and it was SO good.

    Our waitress, Mary Kate was so nice. She was so understandable and was so sweet. Recommend her.

    One of the best restaurants we've been to in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area. We sat outside and it was so nice! The fans kept it cool. You cannot beat the views either. My kids loved the play area and we all loved our food!

    From the moment we pulled into the parking lot which was maintained and organized, and walking thru the 10 foot high wood & glass entry doors, I felt this place was special. Warm beach woods lined the waiting area and a long hallway to get to the main dining room with its large open top "pool" that had large native fish circulating in it. We walked through the nicely appointed interior dining and headed for the huge covered patio, which was open to the north highlighting the view of the slightly windswept Wolf Bay. Massive backbar to the West with a Steel Drummer putting an Island vibe to 1980's popular music including opening soundtracks to 1970's to turn of the century tv shows. OK, this place is cool! Service? It was a slow start. We got there at the end of Happy Hour and the start of the dinner crowd coming in as the sun was setting to the west. After meeting Sergio, our waiter from Romania, we started a "connection", We mentioned that my partner was celiac and dairy intolerant, he shifter his focus from me to my wife, making her feel welcome and making her confident that the staff here take her dietary concerns seriously We ordered GTs on the Bay signature drinks, which were expertly proportioned, ordered our dinner, and then walked out on the dock to the boat parking for the restaurant which was ample for 100's of people to enjoy dining here. We got to only the end of the first third of the dock to snap a picture of the sunset, looked back and they were delivering our food! My God, that was quick! We hustled back to our table on the deck to find our superbly cooked 8 oz medium rare filet tenderloin with smashed gold Yukon potatoes, and my wife's catch of the day, Grilled Amberjack fish with grilled island vegetables. But it was missing the Yukon potatoes. Just then, Sergio shows up to let us know that the kitchen staff recognized that the Yukon Smashed had butter mixed within it for its creamy consistency and they substituted boiled red potatoes, which arrived by another courier as he spoke. Ambience, Service, Food. It was all superb. We have been coming to Orange Beach sporadically since 2015, and now a week every year as we love the area. GT's will be one of our Go To place to take friends and family to share our greatest discoveries in this locale.

    Best shrimp & fries ever!!!!!

    Wow!! This is a gem!! The shrimp and grits were unbelievable!! Perfect flavor, with just the right amount of spice. Lunch pizza was good, basic. Service was excellent!!! Indoor and outdoor seating.

The staff were all helpful and friendly. There was someone playing live music at certain times of the day. The room was clean and had a simple but nice setup. The shower had great water temperature and pressure. We had an ocean view room which was worth the extra cost. Waking up to the beach every morning was so satisfying. Reading on the balcony while listening to the ocean sounds and watching the waves was everything that I needed. The hotel has beach towels that are easily checked out through a machine. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available first come first serve to hotel guests which is very convenient. There was a heated outdoor pool, a volleyball net and a few games inside. We ate all of our meals at the hotel. We ate at the grab and go food spot. I ordered the feta and spinach croissant, a chocolate chip scone and a cappuccino. We also ate dinner at the latitude 30. I ordered a ceasar salad and calamari. For breakfast at latitude 30, I ordered the French toast dish that comes bacon and I ordered a side of eggs. We also ate at the fine dining restaurant onsite where I ordered the seared scallops dish and the vanilla crème brûlée. All of the meals that we ate at the hotel were very tasty. The restaurant staff were all kind and the utensils were spotless. I believe food may have also been served at the bar near the pool, but I didn't try any food from there during my visit. I really had an enjoyable time at this hotel and I plan to return in the future.

Live music every day by the pool was awesome! And talented performers! The beach itself is right behind the resort and has the softest sand. Wanted was rough but we were still able to get in a slash around and jump some waves. The property was recently purchased by new owners after being owned by sand owner who opened it in 1987, which is impressive. Mervin in the restaurant was kind and friendly and been there 12 years. Glinda in the restaurant was the SWEETEST lady there. She maker the omelettes. (Get the omelettes!! Yum!) John and Greg are great pool side bar tenders. The gentleman at the lobby bar was also friendly and attentive, we didn't catch his name. The list of things we wished were different is short. Could have used speakers playing music during the times at the pool when there wasn't live music. Wait times in the restaurant were long. (Food was hit or miss...not horrible but mostly unremarkable... However the spinach dip at the casual restaurant is off the charts and the wagyu steak at Voyagers is incredible!!) We cannot say enough about the marvelous staff. We will definitely be back! We wish them luck in this transition.

ATMOSPHERE Nothing too special about the atmosphere here. I just love that. It was nice clean open area with large windows and plenty of seating and easy to get around. The bar area look cool and the layout was nice. FOOD this is why you came here, right! All kinds of fish cooked all kinds of different ways. Delicious gumbo. Love that pimento cheese ball appetizer with that blueberry pepper jelly! For lunch, I had the meat and three. It was all good, especially the collard greens. SERVICE THIS WAS MAYBE SOME OF THE BEST SERVICE I HAD THE WHOLE TIME I WAS IN ORANGE BEACH THIS WEEKEND. OUR SERVER WAS SO AMAZING. I HATE THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME, BUT SHE WAS ON TOP OF IT AND SUPER DELIGHTFUL. DRINKS The bar area looked really nice. Most of my table had iced tea which everybody enjoyed. I also got a beer from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I was very impressed by their beer selection and they are a verified venue on the Untappd app so you can go to that app to look at all the beer selection and even filter and sort the beers so that you can have an easier time selecting the proper beverage. It even came out in a glass that matched the beer that I had! I like that extra touch.

They had a meat and three sides which is a southern thing. I chose the fresh catch. with side salad, boiled red potatoes, and greens. I had asked the server for the salad first. But it was brought with the meal. The salad was fresh and crisp, with a surprise of a small Peppa dew pepper. Blazing red with a little heat and delicious. Haven't seen them in a restaurant ever. 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.
