“ Everyone in our party was happy with their meal. My Sea Bass was perfectly cooked, the Crab Claw appetizer was meaty with a fabulous garlic sauce. The Crab Cakes were filed with lump crab and the wasabi sauce was delish. My friend tried Mahi Bronzed and enjoyed the prep. The last dish was Meat Muffins for the non-seafood friend and he said they were flavorful and cooked perfect. Our 4th trip here, all fabulous...enjoy! ”
“ This is clearly a pretty popular spot to eat as during prime dinner time you should expect a little bit of a wait. However, once you're seated it's a great experience or Atleast in my case. Our waitress was extremely nice and attentive. We ordered a lobster roll for an appetizer and I got firecracker shrimp fried rice and it was absolutely delicious. Our waitress even brought us a little applesauce for our baby which was a nice gesture. Highly recommend! ”
“ Shared a lobster roll as appetizer. Mains were grouper "Big Fish" style and halibut "Big Fish" style. Very tasty dishes! ”
“ Our favorite sushi! Try the volcano or fire dragon roll! Great service and atmosphere ”
“ Thank you YELP for confirming what a bartender at the Florabama suggested for us. We decided to give this hidden gem a try and boy it didn't disappoint !!!! A bottle of Sauvignon ( which they bagged for us at the end because we didn't finish... which is so weird as a Californian..... ) A Cowboy roll, Lobster Roll, unagi nigiri and a Red Dragon roll... we felt like we should have rolled back to our airbnb. The service and ambiance were amazing..... will definitely come back next visit for sure! ”
“ Friends told us we should try Big Fish on our next trip to Orange Beach. So, we did...and I am so glad we did. I have food allergies, and they are very accommodating. The bar tender Dylan/Dillon told me to just let him know my issues, and the chef would make sure my needs were taken care of. Dylan/Dillon was super attentive and patient in answering my questions. The fish was fresh and yummy. They have a full bar and there is lots of seating at the bar as well as in the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We both had triple tail fish. It was prepared just right. We will definitely go back. ”
“ Food, service, and ambience 1000/1000! The perfect place to go for great food and great service. We were set to go to another place, who couldn't accommodate our large party, we called Big Fish with and they were welcoming from the very beginning. Our server was Chris and he was amazing! We ordered so much and everybody enjoyed everything. If you are looking for great food and service. Please check them out, you will not be disappointed! We will definitely be back! I also had the coconut torte, super amazing! ”
“ Came back to where we used to live and stopped at our favorite restaurant. Was surprised that I never reviewed them before. Should have taken more pictures! Well decorated place that does not take reservations but worth the wait if there ever is one. Nice bar area with a decent size bar and some table's. Ever since we starting coming here the service is always spectacular, the only thing better is their food. My wife and I have always enjoyed it since she does not like seafood and the filet with the mashed potatoes is perfect. There are other choices for her also. They serve sushi and plenty of fresh local fish. Not only do they serve it but know how to prepare it! Whenever we come back to visit our friends this is our first stop. ”
“ The best seafood I've had in the Orange Beach area. We arrived early, around 4:30 on a Friday. You can't assume a book by its cover, don't let the strip mall appearance fool you, this establishment is at the top of the local heap. We had the Firecracker Shrimp and the Lump Crab Cakes. The Crab Cakes were fresh and delicious as was the Firecracker Shrimp. I've been to Cobalt multiple times and this is just as good if not better. ”
“ We decided last minute to go. We were wanting steak not seafood. Tried another steakhouse but there was no parking. So we decided Big Fish. Been here before. Always good! We each had a steak. One filet, one ribeye. I must say they were both delicious! The green beans and mashed potatoes were cool by the time I got it. My husband had the filet. Muuuaaaahhh!!! It was delicious!! Our server was wonderful. Very knowledgeable with wine and food. She didn't crowd us, but was attentive!! It is a good date place! Not too loud and we could have a nice conversation! 10 out 10 stars!! Cheers! Give Big Fish a try! ”
