salad bar
Tanya C.

we wanted to try Wolf Bay heating mixed reviews and i understand why reviews are mixed. the restaurant is large with a nice outdoor area but something just seems off. not sure what it is. the interior feels like being in a fast food joint except paint is pleasing, chairs are nice and lighting is appropriate. i'm not sure why i didn't like the interior but i didn't. what i did like was the salad bar. i would return for the fresh salad offerings with multiple salad options in addition to the lettuce. i added a cup of gumbo to my lunch and was disappointed in the undercooked rice and the quality of the seafood in the gumbo. service is a bit slow but friendly. there were several people dining on this rainy day so something must be going well??

Great place , the outside bar has live music at night , the oysters was awesome and big $24 for a dozen baked cheapest in town $18 for raw oysters The shrimp is huge You get your moneys worth here and the staff is great and very nice I will be back here again

Cocktail shrimp
Mark W.

Stopped in with some family. Not very hungry so ordrred some bacon wrapped jalepenos. They were excellent. For the main meal I just had the cocktail shrimp. 10 good sized shrimp were brought out and they were cooked just right. The cocktail sauce is on the table and has a good amount of horseradish in it. I love cocktail sauce with a lot of heat, so I was happy to have that extra kick to it. Overall good experience as they have indoor and outside seating. Servers seemed to be a little stretched.

Shrimp Cocktail
Foodie W.

2nd time here. 1st time was very good, but it was early. Tonight I came at 7 pm and sat in the Same place but waited 45 minutes for a shrimp cocktail. I gave up on dinner. They really need to provide food support to their patio bartender. Bartender was working hard! Food was still good. Live Music was great.

Cajun pasta with shrimp and scallops
Sam C.

We had quite the wait to get inside but that's expected at all of these restaurants during tourist season so that never bothers us. Our server was wonderful, she was attentive and very kind. I'm sad i've forgotten her name! The salad bar was great. I got the cajun pasta which was very tasty and filling. My husband got the captain's platter and it was all very fresh and tasty, the mac and cheese may have stolen the show, however. The drink which I forgot the name of was delish! We will definitely be returning!

My kids said they wanted seafood. I looked for seafood restaurants in Yelp and found this one. I'm glad I looked, this restaurant is beautiful and well kept. They have a bar outside with live music. The servers are amazing and super helpful. My daughter was stressing because she didn't k ow if she would like Cajun Alfredo sauce, our server brought out a sample for her to try. She was so happy with it she ordered the Cajun pasta. She loved it. My son had the catfish and me and my wife shared the ribeye. It was all perfectly made! We are very happy with our meals. We ordered dessert to go because we were too full to eat it there.

Wolf Bay, Orange Bay Good food, a little bit of a wait on Friday Night.
Melanie W.

Enjoyed the food, service and ambiance on a Friday Night. Be prepared for waiting to be seated. Our seating time, that we were quoted, was very accurate. We enjoyed our meal and visit. The temperature is a little chilli inside, you may need sleeves or a light jacket with the A/C running.

75 Mermaids cocktail
Laura S.

Visited for the first time by myself. I felt self-conscious about eating alone, but my server, Morgan, was so warm and welcoming. He answered all my questions and made recommendations. The scallops were so delicious and presented very nicely. The Brussels sprouts were a bit sweet, which I wasn't used to, but overall good as well. I wanted to try like 8 things on the menu; I'll definitely be back!

Our very happy family from three states. They had never been to our beautiful gulf. They loved this restaurant!
Sheri C.

We had a party of 10 and there was no problems seating us! We dined on the lovely patio. Chris was an incredible server! So attentive and on top of everything! We all ordered starters and everything was delicious! The smoked tuna dip with fried pita wedges was the best we've had. Cajun fried pickles, stuffed mushrooms and fried green tomatoes were all excellent! My cousin ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell and raved. The seafood pasta dishes, fried catfish, okra and po' boy were fabulous. Established by a family in 1973. Highly recommend this excellent seafood house!

White fish and Brussels sprouts.
Amanda J.

We got a huge portion of whitefish doing the 'choose 2 for $30' option. The salad bar is great! The restaurant was clean. Our server, Brad, was chill. I didn't like the Brussels sprouts... but the sweet potato fries were so good (just ask for them to make them crispy).

Mahi mahi tacos with pineapple mango pico.
Kimberly H.

Chris our server - very pleasant and knowledgable. Great recommendations and quick service. We had fish tacos ans grouper Rueben --- very good!

Bacon Brie Burger
Allison P.

Updated review: Came back a few days later for lunch right when they opened before hitting the road. Food was amazing again, but service was a letdown this time. I ordered shrimp and grits with fried catfish instead--perfect combo. About 20 minutes after I ordered, the server asked if I wanted my catfish fried or blackened... a bit late for that. My grits didn't come out at first, but the server brought them later. I also ordered Brussels sprouts and never got them. The food was 10/10. My husband had the Bacon Brie Burger and it was AMAZING! The upcharge for the fried catfish instead of shrimp was worth it.

Blood orange margarita  Crab stuff mushrooms
Courtney K.

Lauren behind the bar was our server, made amazing drinks. The blood orange margarita and the wolfberry mojito were delicious. Crab stuffed mushrooms were tasty and the fresh catch was red snapper - well cooked and paired. Only feedback is I wish there was more of the olive salad on top of the fish!

Thanks for asking. We feature live music every night!

How does the waitlist work?

If it's open the option to join will be here on Yelp. If they are really busy though the restaurants can turn that option off unfortunately. If on, you join, and it tells you how long it estimates, when to go get to restaurant and check in with host…

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.

Ok so it wasn't a very good experience here on Friday, July 3rd 2026 but you can see that this…read moreplace has potential. 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!

The buffet included cowboy caviar, spinach dip with tortilla chips and pita chips, green salad, cheese grits, macaroni and cheese, asparagus, a grilled fish, fried shrimp and chicken fingers. It was all well seasoned and delicious! Dessert was cookies and an AMAZING chocolate chip bread pudding that was some of the best I've ever had!! I also had a lemon drop martini made with raspberry vodka and it was great as well. It's not on the menu so you have to ask for it. We also went another day and had dinner from the menu.

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.

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.
