    Caesar salad with Blackened Cobia
    Billy B.

    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!

    Shrimp platter was great but got the blackened Cobia and dirty rice and it was luke warm and dried out. Disappointed since it was only 5:45. Expected better quality, sorry.

    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.

    Lobster Roll
    Edward A.

    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.

    We loved this place! Not only is the food phenomenal, but the service and views are incredible. Well got seated immediately during a busy evening for a family of 4, including 2 kids. Kid size portions are generous. We'll definitely be coming back for more.

    Peel & Eat Shrimp
    Mya F.

    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!

    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.

    Shrimp Scampi!

    10/10 dinner! After a nice beach day this is definitely the place to go. It is definitely more of an upscale place. Although there was a little wait there were plenty of pretty sights to look at. Food was amaze, and service was consistent! Would totally recommend.

    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!

    Beba looking sexy!!

    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.

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

    DANGEROUSLY GOOD!!!! I mean it, it'll get you hooked. service was extremely friendly and the outside area was beautiful, ideal for a nice dinner date. food was top notch. it's dangerous because i'd spend too much money here if i had the chance....

    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!

    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!

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.

Apparently it is not important enough to service staff to understand what is like to have someone in your party that has a food allergy. The most important thing, is to have the ability to empathize with your guests, and make their experience a good one. If there is an issue with cross contamination in your kitchen, then create an area in the kitchen solely to address those with food allergy needs. For example, when your customer tells you the sprite has no flavor, you don't just come back and tell them it looks fine to me and everything is hooked up. Try tasting it yourself and at least bring a new cup of it to the table. Don't come back empty handed. Then there was the Crab Cakes. After all of the seafood places I have been to in the southeast I found these crab cakes to be just so so. If you are going to deep fry them, please understand that the crab meat will turn to the consistency of tuna salad and is not pleasant to eat whatsoever. Perhaps skip the breading/deep fry and pan fry them instead? While the breading on the crab cake was crisp and delicious, it was a little off setting to have mushy crab on the inside. Again, this was a beautiful venue with a great view. I am troubled by the lack of attention to detail, especially when it comes to addressing your guests.

The first thing that impressed me was the ample parking. The restaurant also has a small private beach area for customers, along with a great bar area overlooking the water. The property is handicap accessible with both ramps and stairs, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Assistant Manager Taylor. He made me feel extremely welcome and even recommended a lunch item from the menu. I took his advice and ordered the Pork Ribeye Sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. On the side, I had a salad with their homemade ranch dressing. Without a doubt, this is some of the best ranch dressing I have ever had. The bartender, Cody, was outstanding as well. I tried the Lime Margarita, Blackberry Mojito, and the Strawberry Basil drink. Every one of them was fantastic. You can tell this is a place that people genuinely enjoy working at. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the customers all seemed happy to be there. It's rare to find a restaurant that gets everything right, but Avenue Pub comes very close. If you're anywhere near Orange Beach, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back.
