    SEARED TUNA*
    Shelby H.

    Seared Tuna and swordfish was fantastic! Carson took great care of us. Highly recommend reservations to avoid a long wait.

    Celebrated our daughters birthday here while on vacation! Food was fresh and the service was amazing. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

    21st Anniversary Dinner!
    Melony R.

    Came here on the night of our anniversary and Zeke's did not disappoint!! It was a cold evening, but we sat outside as they have a cute tent next to the marina with warmers. Since it was our anniversary, I wanted to sit closer to the water and they had no issue with moving us. All of the staff was super friendly and came over to talk to us and even said that they couldn't believe we've been together for 21 years because we looked so young. We told them that we were vampires. Several servers helped out and all were super friendly. Our server was amazing. I told her that I don't eat pork so she was very careful with letting me know which sauces I should stay away from. Her suggestions were great. I certainly had a hard time choosing, but I ended up with the scallops and HubbyStanks ended up getting the blackened cobia. Our entrées were amazing, but I was most impressed with the beans and rice that came with my HubbyStanks' dish. It was so tasty and it had a kick to it. I was also super impressed with their smoked salmon dip! I don't like mayonnaise so I'm always iffy with anything like this, but the mayo did not overpower the dip and the fresh cream on top was a fresh touch! I was full, but I had to try the crème brûlée. It was classic. It was perfect. Several days later, we ate someplace else for my mom's 70th birthday but the whole time we were there we wished we would have booked Zeke's again! A new fave in OB for me!

    We celebrated our 21st anniversary at Zeke's, and it couldn't have been more perfect. We started with the smoked salmon dip which was absolutely delicious, then had the blackened cobia and scallops, both cooked to perfection. Every bite was a 10/10, and the crème brûlée at the end was the perfect finish. Light and creamy. The service was just as good as the food, manager stopped by to greet us and wished us a happy anniversary. Very friendly, attentive, and genuine. We sat outside corner table with a beautiful view of the water and enjoyed every minute of it. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Shrimp scampi w bread
    Halle M.

    I would add the bread for an extra $2 in every lifetime. Such a good texture and bang for your buck. The sauce of the pasta? Straight buttery goodness as the sauce with an added kick of spice. Very good, shrimp seemed to be boiled would have loved to have it blackened or with more flavor. Still love though

    So good we had to come back! We had a great time - live music, great food and outstanding service. So long as the weather is good, be sure to eat outside and enjoy the sunset!

    We always love coming to Zekes. Came to celebrate the new year. Ronna was a server and she was top notch. Very friendly had great recommendation an we waited for nothing. Food was beyond our expectations. Pork chop was cooked perfectly, Brussels were delicious and those red potatoe mash whew so so good. Shrimp scampi was traditional and delicious. Place is always clean and well taking care of. All staff friendly.

    Seafood Tower
    Bailey D.

    I had quite a few friends tell me that Zeke's is THE spot in Orange Beach, and I was really looking forward to our visit. After a dinner here with our group of seven, I have to say that while it's definitely worth a visit for the food, the service left a lot to be desired. We made a reservation well in advance, and I would definitely recommend doing so if you have a large group ... or even if it's just two of you, because you can expect a wait. We were seated inside promptly at the time of our reservation, and we loved walking past the display of fresh fish on our way in. The decor is worth a shout out as well - especially the wall of fishing rods. The service was rough from the beginning. Although our waitress checked in regularly, we had the overwhelming feeling that she didn't want us to be there. Indeed, we got that notion even more when the restaurant shut off the music inside promptly at 10 PM. I should note that our reservation was for 8:30, and we didn't take more than a few minutes to look at the menu and place our orders. We were still working on our entrees when this happened, and felt like we needed to rush through the rest of our meal. I completely understand wanting to close up the restaurant quickly and efficiently, but when you're spending hundreds of dollars on a nice meal for your family, it's definitely not something you want to have to rush through. There were also several other groups in the dining room, and out on the patio. Maybe their last reservation should be at 8 instead of 8:30? Even still, the food was incredible. All of the fish was fresh and flavorful. We ordered the seafood tower along with a few appetizers and sides, and this was a great amount of food for seven people. I especially loved the oysters, and the poke tuna with housemade chips. The crab legs were tasty too, and prepared perfectly. Because the food was so good, I'm hoping this was just an off night for the staff. I'd definitely give Zeke's another chance the next time I'm in the area!

    Tropical shrimp

    The appetizers were so good! We ordered 2 kinds of oysters (Pimento and Traditional) and the Gumbo Bites. Next time we will just order salads and appetizers.

    Snow Crab Legs

    Great service. Had a family dinner here on vacation. Had an issue with one of our dishes, management took the plate off the bill and gave us a complimentary dessert.

    Ask the Community - Zeke's Restaurant

    What are entre prices?

    $15.00-25.00 for the most part. If you go higher end steak $25.00-50.00. Very reasonable for the quality and quantity.

    Does Zekes take reservations?

    Yes on Open Table and I believe online too!

    My wife has developed an egg allergy, how knowledgeable are the servers when it comes to knowing what might have egg in it?

    Zeke's is really good about allergies. Most times the server asks about allergies as soon as they gat to your table. If they don't, tell them. They seem to be very good about allergies as my son has a peanut allergy.

    Hi! What is the attire at Zekes? Do men need a collared shirt? Is it ok to bring kids? Thanks!

    I'd say smart casual in the evening but I've seen people in t-shirts, shorts and sandals. They don't have a specific dress code although I am pretty sure it's a "no shirt no shoes no service" kind of place. It's a nice restaurant so consider that.… Read more

    Is there space available to rent for a semi private party? 30 people maximum.

    I don't know. Best to call the restaurant since you will have to call to book anything anyway. Restaurant phone number: 251-280-8008.

    Is the outside dog friendly?

    Hi Deanna! Both the outdoor dining area and container bar are dog friendly!

    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!
