We came from MO and have ate out everyday and this is by far the best place we have ate. Never had oysters before and I was scared to try them but my server said they were very good grilled and he likes them so I ordered some and so glad I did. They were a 10 out of 10. All of our other food was excellent and the server Alex we had was very well mannered and such a sweet kid. Would definitely come back again if we were leaving tomorrow.

Dakota was an AMAZING bartender! We had the loaded tots and Grouper basket which was DELICIOUS! I love this bar and Dakota!

Orange Beach Makos Tennis Banquet at Flora-Bama Ole River Grill We had the most amazing time celebrating our Orange Beach Makos Tennis Team last night at Flora-Bama Ole River Grill! A huge thank you to Vanessa, the General Manager, and Mrs. Cheryl, the Manager, for going above and beyond to host us in their downstairs space. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — there was even a custom sign greeting our team! Mrs. Cheryl took all the stress off us coaches and had everything set up perfectly. The chef came out to speak to us, and their team was hands-on and ready as soon as it was time to eat. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the staff were top-notch. With the sun setting, the views at Ole River were the perfect backdrop for a night full of laughter, stories, and unforgettable memories shared between players, coaches, and families. We are so grateful and already looking forward to returning next year — God willing! Coach Clark

Flora-Bama is a cool place to eat & chill out & just enjoy yourself. We also did the dolphin tour which was really awesome. Brent was amazing. The dolphin tour was only 25. a person. It's right next to the restaurant. In the yellow building.

The Mexican street corn dip is one of the best things I've eaten all week, and our whole family found good food they were excited to eat; even our picky kiddo loved her nachos. Waterside dining was breezy and comfortable for a lovely ambiance.

Lucia was our waitress and she was great. Our table of seven each got individual attention and good service. The food was awesome!everyone got something different on the menu. I ordered the chargrilled oysters. Loved the experience. Would definitely recommend.

We visited on a Saturday night and enjoyed our meal so much we visited again on Monday after doing a cruise on the Bama Breeze. We had a party of 7 and everyone liked their choices on both visits. The common denominator was the Ono You Didn't. Great summer drink. One server was really great and the other was good but didn't compare to the Saturday night server. Can't wait to visit again!!

The world-famous Flora-Bama Lounge ain’t just a bar—it’s a battered beach shack Frankenstein’d together over the years into a full-blown cultural experiment in barely-controlled chaos. It squats right there on the Florida-Alabama line like it got drunk, picked a fight with two states, and somehow came out on top. You don’t come here to be polite. You come here to forget your name for a few hours and trade it for something louder, sweatier, and soaked in rum. But let’s get real: we gotta talk about the food. ‘Cause somewhere between the spilled beer, the bikini contests, and some dude hurlin’ a mullet across state lines like it’s the Olympics, the Old River Grill is over there quietly slingin’ out shrimp tacos that’ll change your damn life. First thing we’re doin’? Half a pound of Gulf shrimp—fresh as hell, caught so close you could probably still hear the boat motor. No overthinking, no fancy tricks. Just fat, sweet shrimp boiled till they’re perfect then soaked in enough butter and garlic you’ll thank your mother for bringing you into a world that has such wonders in it. The Flora-Bama could have just stopped there and you’d have the perfect appetizer; but they didn’t. They dressed this up like a crawfish boil complete with sausage, new potatoes, and corn. Great gosh a mighty this is good. Now on to the main attraction. The blackened shrimp tacos I’ve heard so much about. They take gumbo sized shrimp spiced to perfection and laid out on a tortilla like the kitchen’s doing you a personal favor. They throw on some shredded cabbage—not for show, but to give your mouth a little crunch to balance all that glory. Then they hit it with a big ol’ slather of comeback sauce. And if you ain’t familiar, comeback sauce is basically mayonnaise and mustard that decided to join a biker gang. It’s creamy, peppery, and got just enough bite to slap you right back to life. This ain’t fine dining. This is food for people who’ve been out in the sun too long, drank just a little too much, and need something in their hands that tastes like salvation. And if you’re the type to skip dessert? Buddy, you’re just wrong. The Key Lime Pie here ain’t polite either. It’s sharp, cold, and so damn good it’ll have you leaning on the railing, staring out at the Gulf, thinkin’ real hard about where your life went right—or maybe about where it’s about to go right off the rails. It’s the kinda pie that doesn’t just let you take a bite and move on. It grabs you by the collar and tells you, “You’re gonna remember me, son,” and by God, you do. Nobody at the Flora-Bama gives a damn where you’re from, what you look like, or how you rolled up. You could be a millionaire in flip-flops or a broke poet with sand in your pockets. Doesn’t matter. You’re here now. You’re family. That’s how welcoming the servers are here. First rate all the way. Order the tacos. Raise your drink. Let the music from five different stages hit you like a Gulf Coast fever dream. At the Flora-Bama, the rules don’t mean a damn thing. But the comeback sauce? That’s gospel.
