    Oyster tues. .79 each... need I say more? Very good oysters, fresh and a good size. A must if you like oysters. Ayce steam shrimp was good too, slightly season. Could only stomach eight plates. Got a free appetizer thru the app. Earn points too. Spacious n accommodating. Service was good. Nice place recommended.

    The Shrimp Basket is always a great place to stop, when wanting a quick meal. Our food was hot and fresh, as well as comparable for the price. Definitely a great place to take the family, when on a budget. Outdoor seating area was nice and clean and the staff was quite friendly. Overall was a good experience and meal.

    Fried Crab Claws were terrible.. very overcooked or old... $26 and tried to eat but couldn't

    I usually keep my mouth shut if I had a bad experience at a restaurant but we seemed to be singled out with our waitress being rude to us. We were very nice and had simple orders, appetizers were brought to other tables who arrived after us but ours came with our meals. One of us ordered a Coke and never got it but never saw the waitress again until it was too late to try to get it. When she brought our checks we told her we never got it (because she was charged for it) and the waitress gave an awful look and was checking the table for it (I guess thought we were lying??) then walked off. Just an overall rude waitress but didn't seem to hate the other 2 tables by us. We were nice the whole time anyways but won't be returning.

    Made it in for dinner after a day on the beach and family photos (also on Orange Beach, AL). My dinner was Fried shrimp & French fries, corn fritter, and hush puppies (I had fried okra instead of the pictured cole slaw, but didn't get a picture as I went straight to eating as soon as it was served, so this is a restaurant photo). The shrimp & fries, hush puppies and corn fritter were all very tasty, and the service was great as well. The shrimp batter was crispy (not overdone), very flavorful, and the same goes for the fries, hush puppies and corn fritter. The service was pretty good as well, especially being a little later dinner time. The Shrimp Basket in Orange Beach, AL is on the "I'd go again" list.

    Seafood Boil for Two

    Ordered the Seafood Boil for 2 before the road closed for a Mardi Gras parade and kept it warm in the oven. SO much food and still delicious after keeping warm in the oven for 4 hours. Highly recommend!

I strongly recommend that ownership review their leaderships handling of issues as they inevitably arise. The waiter started off strong and was attentive and good with recommendations. However that changed as the dinner went on and he disappeared. He highly recommended the grouper bites which we ordered. He also said he was going to request a "10 min hold" on our dinner orders so that they didn't come out with the appetizer, which we appreciated. When the grouper bites arrived, they simply were not as outstanding as he described. I would definitely prefer them to be a bit crispier as the batter was soggy and it just fell off, while the flavor was ok, no one at the table asked for the remaining bites that were left after passing the plate, so that tells me a lot with a hungry group. Next when our orders started coming out about 10 min after the appetizers were eaten, they only brought out 1/2 the table. The server who brought those out said the rest was right behind her. Well we waited for over 25min to finally receive the rest of the food for the table. Yikes!! Our waiter just disappeared after the first orders arrive and after 5 min of waiting we asked about the other plates. He was no where to be found after that for like 25 minutes. After 10 minutes, we flagged down a different waiter and requested help and they brought the manager over. Once the manager came over and then went back to the kitchen and then came back to take orders again from the plates that were not delivered. Our waiter was still MIA the whole time until AFTER the food finally arrived (which he didn't bring out BTW). Geeze...... Lastly the waiter again disappeared after briefly checking on if the food was ok after the final plates were delivered. I had to flag him down after waiting for him for 10-15 minutes after everyone was done just to try to pay the bill....... So let's discuss the food. I ordered the shrimp boil. The corn and potatoes were good and seasoned perfectly. They advertise that they serve Connecuh Sausage which I love! However after the boil came out they covered the sausage in something like old bay. Wow they should NEVER do that. Connecuh Sausage is delicious by itself. Don't ruin it by adding extra spice to it! Lastly the Gulf shrimp were large and plentiful which was wonderful. However, they WAYYYYYY over boiled them as they were mushy and hard to peel. This had so much potential to be a great meal but the kitchen didn't know how to prepare it. Now for the good part, the atmosphere was great. Beautiful sunset, outside. Nice breeze blowing across the outside dining. It was great seeing the large fishing boats coming in. This setting has so much potential!!! Overall I would like to think this was LIKELY just a bad night for the kitchen and our waiter, as I didn't see similar problems at other tables, but when you are spending this type of money, at a family dinner, you'd expect better food and service. And when the manager finally got involved you would think they may offer a very sincere apology and/or at least comp something, like the late dishes, or offer a free drink to the guests who waited, or even a dessert, however they didn't offer anything except our waiter offering a passing apology- like it was an just an inconvenience to have half the dinner party entirely finished with their meal (that had gotten cold BTW waiting on the final plates) before the other three ever received theirs. That lack of ownership to their mistake, especially with a manager knowing about it and having to get involved to resolve, was disappointing. It also tells me the root issue is leadership in both the front of the house and back of the house, as that mistake should have been addressed quickly and a personal follow up apology would have been very appropriate. Final verdict would be to proceed with caution here, until other reviews confirm that Zeke's is performing better AND that leadership is resolving issues and owning them when they inevitably arise. Thanks!

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.

I got the catch of the day with a loaded baked potato and side salad which that to me was a 8.5/10. I was so full and so excited for my left overs. The manager was checking on every one and offered my daughter fish food. At this point I have paid and we went to go feed the fish and when we came back everything on the table was gone. My bill was 92 which might be normal for 2 people here I'm not too sure yet. But I was so disappointed. My daughter said it was the best butter noodles she ever had and she ate up the bread.
