January 29th, 2010  Big Fish Restaurant is the latest and the greatest. This place has it all, great food,  great service and and a wonderful atmosphere. Leck and Jana, previously with Geno's Fresh Catch Grill, opened this awesome restaurant. Very impressive. I have ordered the Holy Shrimp three times. I guess I will try something different  next time.  I will bring you more info and pics on my next report.   

Decmber 7th, 2009 Cobalt Restaurant is one of my favorites. The food is great and the big open, high ceiling along with the view of Terry Cove provides a great atmosphere. I enjoyed a Bison Burger for lunch with green beans and an iced tea. Healthy and light. They have a wide variety of food from steaks to seafood for lunch and dinner.   

November 29th, 2009  Cotton's in Orange beach is an older standing classic restaurant. You wiill enjoy a semi-formal/ casual atmosphere.(in other words, you are in Orange Beach and you may always be casual) Leigh and I enjoyed steak,  lobster tail with baked potato and salad. So so good. Depending on your age, you will enjoy the older dark wood panneling on the walls. It makes me think of the 60's and 70's which provide some wonderful memories.  

June 27th, 2009 If you are looking a for some good food and a laid back atmosphere, then go to Lesters on Canal Road in Orange Beach. This is a favorite local place. They have seafood, chicken, pasta, steaks and much more. There is usually not a long wait like the restaurants along the beach. Give them a try. They are our little secret. Leigh and I enjoyed tuna and chicken for lunch. Try the Coconut shrimp  This is my favorite. Lester's   at 24821 Canal Rd, Orange Beach, Al   Phone 251-974-2525    

June 20th, 2009 Wow, this summer is flying by fast.  I have been very busy fishing but I always find time to dine out. Leigh and I recently visited Tacky Jack's Bar & Grill in Orange Beach. It is located on the water and provides a fun atmosphere. I suggest dining outside and enjoy the breeze. The environment is casual and the food simple. Great sandwiches and baskets.   

April 3rd, 2009 Wolf Bay Lodge is now located at Zekes Landing Marina in Orange Beach.Wolf Bay is well known in south Baldwin county. Good food and down home service. Specializes in seafood. I enjoyed their cheeseburger,sweet potaoe fries and a large glass of iced tea.I also enjhoy their gumbo, fried fish, shrimp and so much more. Give them a try.

March 20th, 2009 Geno's Fresh Catch Grill Geno's is now located upstairs at Zekes Charter Docks.The restaurant is larger and much nicer than the previous location. Same great food with a beter atmosphere. The big sushi bar is up front. Every seat has a great view on the water.

January 14th, 2009 Cobalt Restaurant is just newly opened and is overlooking the water just inside Perdido Pass in Orange Beach, Al. This is class but you can still be casual. Remeber, this is Orange Beach. You can enjoy a beautiful view, very nice environment, good service and very tasty food. Leigh and I enjoyed the Yellowfin and Avocado Stack as an appetizer. This was very tasty but very light. I enjoyed a thick juicy filet mignon for my entree. I would recommend the sauce on the side since it was a bit spicy for steak sauce. Asparagus and potatoes were the sides. Leigh enjoyed the Grilled, Jumbo Gulf Shrimp as her entree. The shrimp was served with their creamy white cheddar, poblano grits with a oven roasted tomatillo sauce. I love the atmosphere with the high open ceiling. Very nice. Give this new restaurant a try.
