3. Fin & Fork

The best Orange Beach restaurant for fresh Gulf seafood served in a family-friendly atmosphere, Fin & Fork serves more than just seafood. They are proud to be one of the few Orange Beach restaurants with a true scratch kitchen. With truly the best tasting oysters that never disappoint, you'll be sure to leave Fin & Fork with a smile and a full belly.  

4. The Gulf

The Gulf is a casual yet chic seaside hideaway. Where the sun, sand and lush beachside setting complement the tasty food, beverages and friendly casual service. Recline with your toes in the sand, have a seat at the bar or at a communal table, or meander about, and enjoy the magical vibes, views and tunes. They are passionately committed to offering the freshest, seasonal menus of locally focused ingredients. While oysters aren't the main attraction at The Gulf, the raw oysters offered there are the perfect appetizer to enjoy while lounging by the water.

5. Big Mike's Steakhouse 

Big Mike's Steakhouse was awarded the prestigious honor of "Best Steak in Alabama" by the Alabama Cattlemen Association. They proudly serve Certified Angus Beef that is aged 28 days and then hand cut. Each steak is marinated and seasoned with Big Mike's Seven Spice Blend, wood fire grilled to your specification and topped with our garlic herb butter. While they are obviously known for their steaks, Big Mike's offers oysters that could compete with the best of seafood restaurants on the Gulf.

So what are you waiting for? Get on down here to the Gulf Coast - you’ve got oysters to eat! We have a huge selection of beach homes and condos to pick from to make your stay the best vacation you could dream of.
