My family and I decided to try this spot out because we missed happy hour and the website said they had Thursday specials until closing. The hostess was very friendly and they made sure our table was nice and clean before seating us and our waiter was great. I ordered the 'Pink Malibu' which happened to be the drink of the day, along with the fried crab claws, fried green tomatoes, and the grouper (with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies). The food was ok, missed some opportunities of adding salt to some apps and entrees. I didn't get a chance to walk around the entire establishment, however, it looked nice and clean from where we were sitting. read more

We were concerned that showing up so close to closing would affect the food or service, but we were treated like royalty! Outstanding service and delicious food, we will most certainly be back! read more

Dinner here with the wife. She had the seafood pasta dish, said it was very good. I had the large Cesar salad w/ blackened shrimp. Shrimp was prepared very well, very flavorful. Salad lettuce was clearly not fresh, actually limp... Ambiance is ordinary for a restaurant in the area. The shining star was our waiter, Seth, who was very conscientious and did a great job. Not his fault the salad lettuce was disappointing. Restaurant wasn't packed, but had a decent flow of patrons. Right next to Ron Jon's Surf shop. read more

I visited the Pier House restaurant on Perdido Beach Blvd because it is within walking distance from the Indigo Hotel where we were staying. It was a pleasant surprise to find out The Pier House is one of the best local restaurants in the area; we waited for about 20 minutes to be sited, and while waiting, I enjoyed looking at all the lovely beach-themed items in their gift shop. My family and I experienced outstanding customer service and excellent food. I regretted not being hungry enough to taste more items. We had the calamari as an appetizer, and I had a bowl of Gator gumbo with a glass of Riesling. Delicious! I am looking forward to visiting them again when we are back in the area. Pier House restaurant accepts credit cards, and their parking lot is ample. However, they are busy, so I suggest you call ahead of time and make a reservation. It is lovely to find places that take pride in offering their best. read more

We enjoy dinner here and what a delightful place to dine. Felix, our server was very knowledgeable about the menus and specials and set us in the right direction. We started off with the shrimp Augratin with french bread and it was so yummy we asked for more bread so we could enjoy all the cheese mixture. Hubby ordered the crab on crab dinner that featured lump crab meat on top of a soft shell crab on top of a crab cake. I had the filet with crab meat on top. Everything was perfection and we are only sorry we didn't have room for desert or lived closer! We also enjoyed a "pain killer" cocktail and a blueberry margarita and both were exceptional! read more

We made a reservation a week in advance for Memorial Day weekend to celebrate our anniversary while on vacation in Gulf Shores. They called quickly to confirm our reservation. When we arrived, they rearranged our tables when they saw we were dressed up. Super accommodating? attentive and friendly staff. Food was delicious. 3 specials entrees in addition to their menu. We had filet minion (special), trout, and fried oysters. Then bananas foster for dinner. Bananas foster was on fire and so tasty. We chose this restaurant based on an article that recommended fancy places in Gulf Shores. Pier house was listed due to their art collection. The art wasn't as expected, but was a nice atmosphere. The live musician was amazing and made the experience so much nicer. Very impressed and would love to eat here on our next visit! read more

Loved it! Food, service, interaction with neighboring diners, and reasonable prices made for a great experience. We got the $75 dinner for two and somehow had room to share Key Lime Pie...but they're into that, as they pretty much give you two pieces for your $12. Now, I can be a wine snob, but for the price (and a Mondavi wine), we took the deal. I got the Grilled Trout-it was tender and delicious. The Crayfish sauce was outstanding, and the veggies were perfectly cooked. My wife got the Grilled Shrimp. It too, was perfectly cooked, with a zingy and flavorful sauce. The salads were also very fresh and tasty. I got Blue Cheese, which came with nicely aged crumbles on top. My wife got the tangy vinaigrette. The table next to us got all the desserts and said they were fantastic, so we tried the Key Lime pie. It was authentic, zingy, very plentiful, and tasty. Our server was great, and the owner stopped by a number of times to check in. What a great experience overall. read more

See all

Food and service were impeccable... The server and greeter were very nice and accommodating ... Only reason i didn't give this place 5 stars is bc i didn't particularly care for the fries and thought the menu items were a bit pricey ... Although, my husband had a different opinion and really liked the fries and thought prices were reasonable. We ordered Creamy Crab Bisque and Pier House Seafood Platter to share... The crab bisque was so tasty, that we'll be ordering our own bowl from now on (yes, that's an indication we will be returning frequently) ...Too much goodness to split... Our mouth was watering for more...On the menu, it said it was served with toast points...But, ours was served with a small piece of French bread. Chef Chappy,owner, goes to each table to ensure food is prepared to satisfaction... When I questioned the "toast points" and voiced how our bisque wasn't served w what i call toast points and how it was different than what was noted on the menu... He was quick to reply that he could serve it w anything i wanted (bonus, for being so willing to please)... But, we kept what we had bc my husband said he wanted that, in place of anything else. We chose the Pier House Seafood Platter because it had an array of things that aren't normally on the same plate, at other places... Once the platter arrived at our table, we knew we had made a good choice... The calamari,shrimp,oysters, and trout were seasoned and fried to perfection...It had hushpuppies that my husband thought were the best he had ever eaten... And, since we were sharing, we had one each... He begged for mine, but i liked it too, so he only got a bite...We will be getting an additional side order of those next time. This place is kind of hidden, so it may not be seen my many... I highly recommend it, and ill be spreading the word to go there... It seems to be a spot where people do return. once discovered, because staff knew the other patrons present by name (probably locals)... And, they knew exactly what they wanted because they ordered without menus. I really hope this place stays in business bc it's on our list, as one of our favorites now. Sorry, there is no picture of the Bisque... We ate it so fast, that I didn't capture a photo. read more

The family gave the Pier house a 4 out of 5. Negative things that kept the restaurant from getting a 5 out of 5. 1. Oysters had some shells in them that my wife was eating. I heard the crunch and thought she had broken a tooth. 2. Not enough hush puppies with the dinner, and they were chewy in the middle. 3. Expected more of a side with the platter vs what we paid. The positive things about the restaurant. 1. Excellent vibes and clean restaurant. 2. Emily, our waitress, was an amazing server and made sure we felt welcomed at the restaurant. 3. The shrimp, whether it was blackened, fried, or baked, tasted awesome. I recommend the blackened. 4. Kids menu had good options for any appetite. Pasta, shrimp, Cheeseburgers and chicken fingers. 5. Kids sides options were on point. My boys loved the fresh fruit and curled fries. 6. Military discount. read more

The hostess was very sweet and our server was great! My husband ordered the Shrimp, which he got blackened. (He substituted mixed veggies instead of fries.) The shrimp were cooked well and he enjoyed the dipping sauce, too. However, the shrimp and grits left a lot to be desired. The grits were okay, as were the shrimp, but the tasso was very off-putting - big chunks that were chewy. The gator sausage was okay. I'm sure other dishes would be better. read more

Giving 2 stars because the server tried her best. Restaurant was not busy by any means, food took too long and did not seem like fresh seafood. Way overpriced, if I'm spending that much it will be at Coastal with better organization, food and atmosphere. read more

Family party of 6 ate here today starting about 4pm. Greeted warmly, seated immediately and orders taken quickly. 3 of us had the Pier House Burger which was very good. We also had the chicken alfredo pasta and the filet. Couldn't asked for better prepared, fresh, and presented food. Even the fries were crazy good! 18 of us are in a near by house for week, we will be back this week with reinforcements! read more

What a wonderful place. I'm kind of picky about my shrimp and grits, these were the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. I'll be having that pleasure again tomorrow because the portion was huge. We also loved being able to walk there. Our waitress, Bella, was a sweetie, read more

This place is a hidden gem on the state park side of Orange Beach! The entire place looks like new construction but our waitress told us they had been open for three years. The pride they take in keeping their space clean, fresh, and inviting really really shows and makes a difference! The food quality is absolutely incredible and something you'd find straight out of a Gordon Ramsay kitchen. The presentation was 5 stars and the taste was even better! My wife ordered the shrimp and grits and I ordered the Pier House burger and it was delicious and tastes so fresh! To tie it all together the service was fantastic! The staff seemed to really care about making sure you had a great experience. She made recommendations on specials for the night and everything that came out looked amazing! DON'T MISS THIS PLACE! Maybe make them the last meal of your trip -- they'll set the bar so high no other restaurant on the beach can compete! read more

Stopped to dine here on our way to visit to Ron Jon Surf Shop. Calamari was perfect was a lovely dipping sauce. Fried seafood platter was huge and a huge success with my pre-teen. Fries were different but delicious (a cross between a photo wedge and fry). I had the blackened snapper with rice, pineapple salsa, and Caribbean black beans. The garnish was impressive, but not nearly as all the flavors together. Also impressive was the owner who was providing "teachable moments" to the staff at another table when we were being sat. My husband was ready to dine elsewhere when there was confusion between the hostess and the servers. The food was definitely worth it. read more

I want to leave an honest review so no one else will make the mistake we did by eating there. First of all the restaurant is lukewarm a cafeteria. No atmosphere at all Second service was bad!!! Food was brought yo the table cold and i feel certain it wouldn't have been good warm! Appetizer was brought with the meal! We should have saved our money and .eaten sandwiches in our condo!!! Save yourselves and you money do not . Eat there read more

Tuesday evening, seated with reservations. Server was friendly enough and described the specials while standing directly behind me, so it felt like he was talking to the back of my head when standing at the end of the rectangular table was more appropriate so we could all see and hear him. Ordered fried green tomatoes and crab cakes for appetizers. Crab cakes had more crab on top than in the actual cake - it was nearly all breading with no discernible crab. They also didn't taste fresh. Sent them back and manager or owner apologized and took them off the check. Fried green tomatoes were average. Entrees arrived about 40 minutes after we ordered them. Cool, but can we have some steak knives with our filets and my pork chop? Server had to be flagged down to bring those. Filets wrapped in bacon weren't great. Personally, I think wrapping a filet with bacon is like saying the filet can't hold its own (usually poorly seasoned) and needs help from a slice of bacon. Not my thing and none of us were really into that dish. One of us got the house burger and it was honestly pretty confusing in terms of taste. I think it had some type of herb cream cheese and arugula on it. Again, a miss and really overwhelmed the taste of the burger itself. Not sure how this place gets the high ratings it does; maybe because most people don't know to expect better? Nice owners and servers but the food is mid tier at best. Considering the prices, I expected much better. The wait time for the food was excessive, the food was underwhelming and it was crazy loud. We try to eat dinner out only once during our trips to OB/GS and sadly we wasted it on Pier House this time. Sad, sad panda. read more

Really good food, great service by Emily! We all loved our food and would highly recommend giving this place a try. Been under new management for about two months.

Avoid!!!!! Carrie, presumably the manager or owner, is one of the rudest individuals I have ever met in my life. A steak we ordered never came out, and when we asked them to comp or discount the ticket, Carrie came in and made excuses, told us to act more like Jesus (!!!!) and told us she was more concerned with feeding her kitchen staff. What an absolutely abysmal experience. She has no business running a restaurant with her attitude. Thankfully, our waitress Corey did a wonderful job and was the only saving grace for this meal. Avoid this restaurant at all costs. Edit: regarding Carrie's response, she is lying. Please avoid this restaurant if you respect your time and your wallet. read more

We visited The Pier House for lunch and started with the crab ceviche. Unfortunately, it resembled more of a crab salad than any ceviche we've previously enjoyed. We also split a wedge salad, which turned out to be pretty plain and underwhelming. For our entrees, we ordered the tuna BLT and the shrimp and grits, neither of which managed to impress us, particularly given their price. Although the staff was very sweet and attentive, the food itself was lackluster. Given the overall quality and the cost, our experience was just okay - nothing special but not terrible either. read more

High prices, Mediocre food: BEWARE Came here because this was the only place that wasn't packed for a lunch rush. Thought we'd all be getting quality seafood that was fresh and premium like the manager boasted about. Instead all we got was the specialty soup that was far too salty, a steak that was over cooked and not worth the 35$, and fried oysters that didn't have much flavor (everyone in my group felt that they was more bread than oyster meat). We complained to the manager abt the salty soup, but he seemed quite unapologetic. He seemed to be avoiding eye contact with us the rest of the night; he probably knew we weren't happy about the other food as well. So yeah definitely not worth the money we wasted here for the food and service sadly. read more
