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

"This 10-year-old restaurant and bar made from shipping containers spills onto the beach, giving it a resort-like feel with couches and cabanas and a chance to dig your toes into the sand. The beachy, light fare matches its airy atmosphere, with highlights like smoked tuna dip, fish tacos, a shrimp and lobster roll, and the swordfish Rueben as top options. Prices are on the high side but fair, particularly because the restaurant makes an effort to lesson its footprint with compostable dishes and sustainable practices. Dog-friendly." - Clair Lorell
