Fisher's Dockside at Orange Beach Marina

We had dinner for four and had to wait a few minutes at the bar. The bar service was good with drinks coming quickly. Dinner was fairly quick as well. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The view is fairly good if you can get the right seats. We will definitely be going back. UrbanCowgill June 2022

This was our second visit to Fisher’s Dockside, the first visit being fine for a group of six. For starters, please know our server was delightful, prompt, and professional. Wait times for food and beverage were short. The people there were great! We were seated on Thursday evening at 6:30 or so, with no wait. The $13 frozé was very acidic/citrusy and not my favorite. The smoked tuna dip app was a huge portion and delicious. Served with toasted sesame wafers. The best part of the meal. The $32 surf and turf was what we both ordered. The blackened shrimp were tasty, if nothing special. The issue we had was that the steaks (which were over cooked but edible - no biggie) were served over many of the fries, making them soggy. In addition, the steaks didn’t have much seasoning, and since my ordered medium was cooked to well done (no pink), I asked for some steak sauce - and was told they do not keep ANY steak sauce around. Weird. I was disappointed that there wasn’t an option to cure these ills in seasoning and moisture. The people and the atmosphere passed the vibe check, but the entree and frozé left us disappointed. We love sister restaurant Playa, but will pass on Fisher’s next time around.

I'm not a picky person but I feel compelled to share my experience, it was that bad. I ordered the surf and turf. The shrimp was salty but edible. The ribeye which i ordered medium was not cooked enough but I didn't want to send it back because I had already sent the Brussel sprouts back and I don't mind a medium rare/rare steak. The Brussel sprouts tasted like grease or something and were burnt. They were unedible. I'm so disappointed that I paid over $30 and left hungry. They need a new cook..I will never go back.

Best meal in Gulf Shores area!!!! Great service! Loved the whole experience! Best shrimp and grits I have ever tasted!

Funday Friday with a fellow local at Fishers. The doors were down and provided a cool, yet Beachy environment. Enjoyed the bambuzzel cocktail- nice and refreshing! Along with Parmesan Fries (yum), pimento n cheese and pork rinds (yum) and black eyed pea hummus (good- not great).

Food was awesome the service was terrible. We got seated with out menus. Then about ten minutes the host drops all the forks and knives for us to pass out for a party on 14. It took a long time to order our food. I got a burger 🍔

Fantastic place for families. Anna made us feel like part of the family, showing my kids where to feed the fish and taking time to know us. The food was exceptional and accommodating. My son didn’t like the spicy tuna and the kitchen made him a new one plain.

Fishers at Orange Beach Marina is a nice spot on the water to enjoy a good time and have some good food. This restaurant has a split personality with the downstairs, Fishers Dockside, being a more casual restaurant while Fishers Upstairs is a more upscale restaurant. I enjoyed my experiences eating at Fisher's Dockside and was planning on eating at Fisher's Upstairs but it seems circumstances have been set into motion that will prevent that. Unfortunately it was just announced that Fishers at Orange Beach Marina will be permanently closing after ten years and November 7th 2023 will be their last day in business.
