Service was wonderful, we think they have the best oysters and scallops in the area. The Pier has replaced Big Fish and Cobalts as our favorite restaurant. We will definitely dine here again. read more

Well. Sympathy rating actually. We felt like it is a restaurant without an identity. Not bad food just, on a different slant with their menu (limited selections) than what's locally available. It wasn't busy yet there seemed to be a disconnect between the reservation app and the staff once you arrive. Running out of raw oysters didn't help either. read more

The Grouper and the Watermelon Margaritas were delicious! Prices were great. Our waitress was very attentive. We will definitely go back

We had a reservation & seated on time. the rest of the night was lacking. The waitress was nice and seemed very busy; lacking staff was an issue. Drinks from bar were very slow! We wanted additional drinks but didn't order nor were we asked if wanted more drinks. None of the platters that had sauces actually came with sauces for dipping and even once requested, too late. A few of the meals were okay but the majority of our party was not pleased with their meal. Timing for food was horrible. After 1.5hrs waiting, requested to speak with manager, who to our surprise, was also working as hostess. She went to kitchen and our food came soon after with exception to one dish that was another 15 minutes after others got meal and another dish they did not have; this person declined another dish since the rest of party was almost finished. No apologies from staff and the manager never came to table or was seen at hostess stand once initial complaint made. Some gesture would have been appreciated under circumstances. The restaurant business is tough; many in our party have worked in industry. Bad nights happen but, at a minimum, speak with the guests. We come to area often and do not plan a return to this restaurant. read more

We had always seen decent traffic at the Pier House, the last restaurant at the end of Orange Beach going to Gulf Shores, so we decided to try it. We were very surprised by the quality of the meals. The fish special was grilled red fish with crab meat in top. They had large pieces of crab and the fish was prepared perfectly - not over cooked and dry like many other places. The key lime pie's plating (see picture) was what you expect at a more expensive restaurant. We definitely will be coming back! read more

Probably the best food I've ever had I got the seafood pasta and the sauce noodles and shrimp were amazing. The waiter was also very nice. I wish I had this restaurant near where I live. read more

We are so glad we decided to stop in for a quick drink and appetizer! We had the best, freshest cocktails made by the owner... so good! Appetizers did NOT disappoint! Baked oysters and tuna spring rolls were incredible! We loved it so much we went back again and took our daughter and her boyfriend for dinner. Shrimp and grits were amazing! Daughter's boyfriend got a burger and loved it! (Something for everyone) ... Everything was perfect! Ben was our waiter both times and was great! Thank his place is beautifully decorated with art for sale too! Definitely on top of our list to go back to! read more

Super friendly and engaging owner. Oysters would've been fantastic if they were properly shocked, but we had to use a knife to release all of them. Crab claws tasted farm raised, or possibly there wasn't any seasoning in the breading, but the quality of the crab was good. The odd thing is that we were charged 12% tax, and the rate in Orange Beach is 10% so I'm not sure what's going on there. read more

Oysters were delicious, enjoyed time there for anniversary. Live laugh love, pier house. read more

Pier House - Bars Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Read the reviews: they are consistent and match my own experience. Service is top notch and 5/5. Appetizers were very pricey at $25/ app. Seafood platters are scarce and a joke. There was literally 1 oyster, 1 piece of fish, 2 pieces of calamari, and 4 shrimp with minimal fries. We ordered 1 platter for 2 people expecting to share as most platters are shareable. Seafood pasta had macaroni curly pasta which I wasn't expecting. I was expecting a more traditional pasta with linguine or angel hair in a lemon butter sauce. The thick pasta made the dish very heavy and the sauce was watery and bland. Again small portion and over priced. The drinks were delicious I had a spicy watermelon margarita. The important question is: is the food edible? - yes Nothing tasted bad, it's just over priced and nothing special. Solid 3 star rating spot to check out if your desperate and money is no option. read more

Worst dining experience ever. We had a party of nine--larger than most, but still nothing unmanageable. Our drinks were ordered in three different waves and took a long time to get. When we asked simple questions about the drinks, the server couldn't answer them. After the drinks finally arrived, we had to stop the server and had to ask her to order appetizers. The drinks tasted horrible and nothing like you would expect them to taste. Our appetizer arrived at the table at the exact same time as our entrees. I had to ask for my salad and it arrived halfway through my entree. Other salads from our table were not correct and we had to send them back. The server dropped two entrees off of the tray and they stayed on the floor for a solid 15 minutes. One of them was replaced. The other was a kids menu item that by the time she tried to bring it back, we told her not to worry about it because dinner was over. But it still showed up on our bill. I ordered the filet special and it was very underwhelming. The steak was good, but it was served "topped with crabmeat" that you needed a microscope to find. A different server brought our drinks and when we commented that they didn't taste right, he replied "I only bring what's on the ticket." No one ever sent a manager by our table, as any decent server should have known to do..."I have seriously messed up this table. Please swing by and make it better." No one seemed to take any responsibility for the dumpster fire of an evening that we experienced, and to top it all off, we were forced to pay 20% gratuity because we had nine people. The food was decent, but the service was the worst we had ever experienced and the staff did nothing at all to try to make up for it. For over two hundred dollars for two adults and a child, I would have expected so much more. Avoid this place like a plague for the short time it will remain open. It will not survive as it stands. read more

Well, for the prices, a disappointing experience. Party of 18 on a Saturday night, very happy they take reservations. Arrived at 520 for a 530 reservation and we were seated right away. The atmosphere is nice, no blaring music. One server for entire party, everything took a long while. Hard sell on specials, kind of annoying. As food came out, server basically held up the dish and said what it was, we had to pipe up as to who ordered what, that was a bit unexpected and disappointing. On the positive side everybody enjoyed their meals, the scallops, the burger and the Red fish special were all highly enjoyed, the fried food seemed a bit "soft." , Several comments that things were on the bland side though. Probably not a repeat visit for us. read more

The overall food wasn't bad at all. Blackened fish was nice. Grilled shrimp was good. That's it. That's the only complimentary things I can say. To start, we sat down at 7:15 on a Tuesday night. Restaurant was empty which is fine, but an hour later we still didn't have food. In an empty restaurant. Okay, we made conversation and passed the time. Secondly, two of us ordered the Pier Platter which was supposed to include Trigger Fish, Shrimp, Crawfish Tails, Oysters, Fries, and Hushpuppies. I ordered my fish blackened (it was), ordered my shrimp grilled (it came out fried), crawfish tails were nowhere to be found, and oysters were fried. I pointed out to the waitress that my shrimp were supposed to be grilled, and she asked if I would like to replace the fried ones with grilled. I said please if the kitchen doesn't mind. They came out a little bit later grilled and were good. Neither of us got crawfish tails which were on the menu, and when the other guest asked about it the waitress said she's never seen them come on that platter. All of that was disappointing enough, but I finished my glass of tea about 15-minutes after we sat down and it never once got refilled. We spent an hour and a half in the restaurant and I got one glass of tea I paid $3.50 for, a $33 platter with wrong/missing food, and just an overall lousy experience. Saw our waitress roughly three times; when we ordered/got our drinks, got our food, and got our checks. We took a chance on one of the less "popular" places, because it isn't on the strip, and were sadly disappointed. read more

Absolutely eat here. Stopped for lunch on a whim and sat at the bar. Anthony was amazing and steered us in the right direction. Portions are HUGE and the taste is over the top good. Baked oysters, pork chop, tuna BLT, and the friggin dessert OMG... just Look at the pictures. It's only been open for just over a year so get there before everyone else figures out what a gem it is. read more

He did not want to listen smart ass about our meal, waited a long time for our dinner .His answer was well you ate some of it so it must have been ok, like I was trying to eat and not pay the total. I own my own business ,so you want to know what is wrong. Smart ass I understand he is like that with his employees. MAKE NOTE Shannon. , the bar tender is the best! read more

FANTASTIC service the bartender and chef were a delight. Food was amazing. Plz visit!

We had some old friends come in town this weekend and asked if we would like to meet them for dinner. They chose this place and set the reservation. I'll be honest as locals we haven't eaten here since the new owners took over and only ate here a few times when the previous owner had it. In the past it was just okay but not worth the 15 minute drive across OB to get there. My wife and I walked in a little early thinking we would sit at the bar and have a few cocktails while our friends arrived. Upon walking in the owner told us she was short staffed and had several callouts, she asked we please be patient tonight and they were going to do their best to give us a good dinning experience. I will say this lady and the staff she had worked their tails off tonight. They ran non stop all night, all over this restaurant for their customers. We had a table of 10 and they kept our drinks flowing all night. Everyone's food was excellent as well. So good food, good service, all while being short staffed on a holiday weekend night. That deserves 5 stars from me and we will go back for sure. read more

Pier House - 2-2-2 oysters were awesome! - Bars Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

So great to have a delicious gluten free option at the beach! My husband is gf, and my BIL is celiac, and they were ecstatic to safely have fried food again! The menu is clearly labeled with all allergens, and the staff is knowledgeable and cheerful. We met one of the owners, and she was so sweet. She is a chef, and made the fry batter herself. Great meal, even for those of us without dietary restrictions. read more

Pier House - Bars Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Loved the atmosphere! Our waiter was amazing! Drinks were really good, my favorite was the Salty Dog Margarita... some of the food was great, and others not so much. I got the 2-2-2 oysters and stuffed mushrooms. The oysters were excellent, some of the best I've ever had. The Rockefeller and the Herbed Butter & Parmesan oysters were my favorite. The stuffed mushrooms were okay to me. They are covered in a wine sauce, but it was very overpowering in my opinion. I tired some of my friends plates and would opt the mushrooms for the crab bisque. The bisque was very good, but be prepared for a very salty taste. Overall would go again. read more

Fresh blackened Cobia was delicious. Shrimp was also good. Nice outside dining in the harbor. Good drinks.

Excellent menu, superb service, attentive owner,industrial chic, art display. What's not to like?

Been here two hours. No food yet. The waitress won't even look at us any more. Who knows what the food will be like. About ready to go to McDonald's for a filet of fish. Well we got our food. The seafood pasta was ok. The swordfish was the best. Skip the scallops. One of our party got the Pier burger, it was ok, but not all that was expected. The owner is very nice. read more
