Not our first time at Zeke's but maybe our last!! First impressions, the hostess staff were rude. (We had a reservation) When they took us to be seated our party of eleven had to stand around other tables where the guest were trying to enjoy there meal while out table was still being cleaned off and they were sweeping the floor around our table. This was very awkward for us and rude to the other guest. Our waitress was excellent. And do not order the crab cakes they were terrible. No one at our table would eat them!!! read more

We loved the ambiance and the food. I had the Blackened Cobia and I would get his every time. This is my new favorite here in the area!! The grouper bites are a wonderful appetizer as well. I can't wait to come back! read more

Ok so it wasn't a very good experience here on Friday, July 3rd 2026 but you can see that this place 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! read more

The lobster roll is average at best and $40. That's a no. The grouper bites were phenomenal. We should have just gotten multiple orders of those. Someone in our party had an issue with their steak order and we almost had a drink dropped on us by staff. It was way too busy to consider going back during the season but maybe during off season we will head back over. read more

Zeke's is probably one of the best restaurants in all of perdido, orange beach, and gulf shores. We had chef selection oyster from Maine. Fantastic. Then we had the caviar service and champagne. Absolutely wonderful. Comes with potato chips, cream franche, shallots, and chives. Pan seared scallops were perfectly cooked. The lobster roll was great as well and the calamari was top tier. The bartenders are great and don't skimp on pours. Sage was sweetheart. Get here early as it gets very crowded. Best bet is to find a seat at the open bar. Really cool interior and a great place to watch the sunset out back. read more

Our party of 4 had a reservation and were sat right away on a Monday night - just in time for the sunset in April. 20 mins after sitting, no wait staff, no water, nada. We decided to leave but the manager Gabe managed to convince us to stay offering to comp our dinners. While we could've really taken advantage of this offer, we ordered as we normally would. No apps, no desserts, nothing extra. Just 4 entrees and we were good. This gesture was above and beyond and I commend him making it right and that's what got this to 3 stars. The food was mid at best. The fried shrimp was lukewarm when served, the lobster roll was more bread than anything, and the pork chop was tough - overcooked. My whole Moroccan fish was ok - but the waiter failed to ask what side I wanted and just served it with mashed potatoes. Had he asked I would've chosen rice. We already felt we were accommodated so we didn't want to bring any more things up. It's a cool spot and I'm sure there are challenges on a regular basis. It was just an ok experience for us. read more

We went without a reservation at a busy time and was still able to be seated in under 30min. Plenty of things to do while waiting- no complaints there. Our server was WONDERFUL! I am gluten free and have other food allergies and she went and checked to make sure what I wanted would be safe and it was! My only complaint was that I thought my 4 scallops and asparagus was pretty wimpy compared to my husband's 2 giant crab cakes with corn, and the scallops cost more. The chef's choice oysters were my husband's favorite. read more

We love coming down to Zeke's on our trips to OBA! The seafood is always so fresh and the service is always great. We made a reservation and were able to be seated immediately which was nice as the wait time is usually very long due to it being a popular place. We started by sharing the caesar salad which was great, the cornbread croutons are so tasty! I got the rip tide cocktail and it was very tasty and refreshing. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was absolutely wonderful, with huge gulf shrimp! My husband got the swordfish which was also very tasty! Our server, Gil, was very kind and attentive as well! We will definitely be coming back. read more

the restaurant is so fun and unique in the sense of you can have fish you caught be cooked and served by them! that's what my family did! i got peel and eat shrimp, which looks like not a lot from the photo, but there were plenty. $18 for that, and i think it was worth it. they put strange condom things over the lemons to catch the seeds when you squeeze them. never saw that before. also my waiter looked like bobby from the backrooms movie; he was super chill! i'm giving it a 4 star review because when we went, the waiters were probably very overworked and therefore, we were not attended to as much as we needed. we did have a group of 11, though, so maybe that's why. but i think they were understaffed and overworked, so i don't really blame them. cute place! read more

Such a nice place to eat. Great atmosphere. We ate outside and had Chelsea as our waitress. She was great and kept our drinks refilled, which we appreciated since the ice continued to melt. The food was amazing. My husband said it was the best food he's ever had. Worth every penny. We got the Caesar salad add chicken, porkchop with potatoes, Brussel sprouts, & asparagus, 8oz filet with 1/2 Maine lobster, dirty rice, & kids butter noodles. We will be here again. read more

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! read more

Way over priced for the food quality. We had high expectations thinking the food would be as good as the location being on the gulf coast where we have some of the best seafood. The overall atmosphere was great and the service was excellent as well just disappointed in the taste and quality of the food especially for how much we paid. We will not be returning. read more

Food, service, and atmosphere was a 10/10 like always. Best food we had all trip. Their Caesar salad is so good and the blackened cobia and fried grouper was delicious! I would not order the smoked salmon dip again as it just wasn't my favorite but the sourdough bread it came with was very good! read more

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. read more

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! read more

We have been here multiple times and have never had a bad dish. The marina view is beautiful, and watching the boats come and go was entertainment all on its own for our kids. I have a dairy allergy, and they were able to modify a dish for me, which I really appreciated. The food is consistently incredible. The cornbread appetizer is a must order, and we've loved the cobia, swordfish, tuna, fried fish platter, and even the oysters--I'm usually not a big oyster fan! The only downside is that wait times can be long, but we usually make a reservation online ahead of time and have had great luck with that. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We always make a point to come back when we're in the area. read more

First- this place is simply the absolute best. Aside from their delicious food, atmosphere and beverages- want to take a minute and say how amazing this staff is. I had not been feeling well throughout the day and one of our most favorite family friends was in town and just had to take her! Unfortunately I stood up to excuse myself and ended up fainting, hitting my head on the corner table and just sprawled flat out on the ground. My server Aspen was just an angel as well as the entire staff on the phone with the medics, getting me orange juice and ice and just all out being rockstars. They helped me to my dads car so I could go to the hospital and we made the rest of the family stay back so they could experience it and all night they came and checked on my mom who was a mess. From the bottom of my heart- thank you Zekes. I was blessed to faint in the hands of an amazing team. read more

We had a great experience at Zeke's! The food was a bit pricey, but I feel like that's typical for a beach restaurant. We enjoyed sitting outside on the covered patio.

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.
