The Best Restaurants in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama | Eater New Orleans

"Sea N Suds is a must for lunch while in town, a gloriously old school spot that sits on stilts right on the water. You’ll find it full of happy families, usually necessitating a brief wait, but grab a frozen from the bar on the back deck and enjoy the view. This place is best for fried seafood — get the crab claws for the table to start, followed by fried shrimp or oysters. The salad bar is a throwback, complete with bacon bits, steamed green beans, and hard-boiled eggs. Tuesdays and Fridays bring a fried mullet special, which this part of the Gulf is known for. The gumbo is surprisingly solid." - Clair Lorell
