    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!

    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.

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

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

    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!

    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.

    Fantastic!!!! Out of the many restaurants we've visited on our vacation, Wolf Bay is by far the best!!! Fast service, beautiful ambiance in the patio, great and pleasant servers, and the food... amazing! Had the filet and it was cooked to perfection. The truffle mashed potatoes were literally the best mashed potatoes I've ever had!!! Highly recommend joining the waitlist when you want to go so you can get seater quickly. So many restaurants are so busy that the wait time is often well over 30 minutes. Using the app, we had no wait and were seated right away. Price is a bit high but comparable to other restaurants like 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!

    Gouda grits
    Bridget C.

    Everything was yummy and came staggered which is what we like! Obviously well liked bc they were still packed after closing. We got on the wait list and waited about thirty minutes on a Thursday evening after getting there around 7:40. My husband enjoyed everything he ordered! . He starter with the pom pom oysters which he said were light and refreshing. Coconut shrimp were exactly what he thought they'd be and the jalepenos were yummy! I got the Parmesan crusted grouper which was heavy on the garlic, but I like it like that! I didn't eat the spinach it came with but I enjoyed the mashed potatoes! Overall it was a good experience!

    Lobster Chowder
    Russ L.

    There are two areas to sit: outside in the screened in bar area where there's usually a singer and then inside the restaurant. Most people choose outside near the live music in the summertime. I had the gumbo which was thick and very spicy. It wasn't the best I've had but ok. My wife had the lobster chowder but it was more of a corn chowder. I had a dozen raw oysters which were great! Very large, fresh and the all of the sauces to get the cocktail sauce just like you want it. Our server, Brad, was very friendly and Johnny on the spot. He brought us a test white wine since my wife hadn't had this particular wine before. Super service!

    Outdoor Seating

    A Five-Star Pivot! Last night, my family visited Wolf Bay for the very first time. I'll admit, we originally planned to go to TinTop as we do every time we visit Gulf Shores, but brush fires and highway closures forced us to pivot. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Wolf Bay was absolutely amazing. We were quoted an hour wait but were seated in just 35 minutes. Dining outside near the water was breathtaking, and the food was top-notch. Special shoutout to our waitress, who was incredibly high-energy and fun despite having a full section; she made a long day of traffic disappear. (I feel awful for not remembering her name, she had a pink bow in her hair, which caught my daughter's attention, and was shorter which connected with my Mom, because we sat in a high top and my mother had struggles getting in the high top chairs. I feel like her name was maybe Tiffany, but I could be wrong. ) We always say we're willing to pay for one great, big family dinner while on vacation, and Wolf Bay delivered. Everyone was amazing, and we officially have a new must-visit spot. We have a new favorite spot in Orange Beach! The only thing to be mindful of is the website menu pricing reflects differently from the actual menu pricing at the restaurant.

    Blackened mahi mahi. Flavorless and overcooked.
    Josh A.

    Wish I would have read my own yelp review before coming here tonight. I ordered the blackened mahi mahi with Brussel sprouts and fries. I also had the fried pickles and mozzarella sticks as an app. The apps came out and I really enjoyed the pickles while the mozzarella sticks tasted frozen. The mahi mahi came out on a plate with two hush puppies. Presentation was seriously lacking. That being said what it lacked in presentation it also lacked in flavor and it was cooked to hell and back. I will skip this place on future trips and stick with the blackened Cobia at Zekes.

    Captain's platter. Everything was delicious!
    Rachel W.

    The food and service are top notch here. I've only been a couple of times but I continue to look forward to coming back!

    Steak Salad
    Carson D.

    I came here twice in about a month's time span. I got the same entree both times. The Steak salad is 10/10. A salad bar is available for a side option with upcharge or meal as well. Our service each time was satisfactory. Both experiences during dinner time. When they were very busy. Offering live music on select nights.

    Can I join a waiting list?

    Yes. Ask for Sergio. Wonderful server

    Will there be any live music in May of 2022?

    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… Read more

    The atmosphere and location of The Gulf are unmatched. Beautiful views, palm trees, and right on…read morethe water. It was very busy when we arrived, so finding a seat was a little stressful. My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.

    This place was super cute but the food was very expensive and not worth the quality. We ordered two…read moremeals on the cheaper end of the menu and it was over $80 with no drinks. Our meals came with fries and the fries tasted like they were cooked two hours ago in old frying oil. Then, we ordered drinks, I got a margarita and it tasted super weird like they put a bunch of club soda in it?? So yeah the environment was nice but if you go I wouldn't order anything. There's another restaurant across the street Cobalt that we went to the night before and their food was amazing! The food quality was way higher and the prices were great!
