Pier House Orange Beach

"We live here on the Gulf and have been to many restaurants in the area. The Pier House has by far has the best food I have had in a long time! The owner and chef Chappy does amazing things with the flavors in the food! Our meal, soup and dessert were EXCELLENT!! It was well worth the price we paid for dinner."

"My husband and I ate lunch today at Pier House in Orange Beach our great friend and chef John chappy Chapman greeted us with open arms and provided the most wonderful lunch that we could ever expect. Our server Patrick was beyond fabulous. We have had the pleasure of knowing this chef for over three decades, and will continue to enjoy his food. This is the best kept around."

"I come to Gulf Shores annually for the holidays. It is with zero exaggeration that say this: if I came around next year and find out Pier House wasn’t here anymore, I would be DEVASTATED. This is, without a doubt, the best restaurant at the gulf. For my visit, I enjoyed the fried Calamari, the Pier Platter, and the Paneed Pork. The Calamari: Coated with a very light, gluten free breading; perfectly balanced in texture and taste. So tender it almost melts in your mouth. Would highly recommend. The Platter: Calamari, Shrimp, Oysters, and a trout topped with fries and hush puppies. The shrimp was again, very tender, and the calamari was perfect. I didn’t particularly enjoy the oysters, however i tend not to enjoy them anyways so this is hardly a detriment to the overall eating experience. I don’t think my platter came with hush puppies, but to be Frank, the rest of the meal was so delicious that I didn’t even notice. Would highly recommend. The Paneed Pork: The pork was cooked perfectly. Tender, juicy, and generously breaded with a Katsu-style crust. Topped with a lemon-butter sauce that was both wonderfully aromatic and equally tastey. This came with a side of what I assume was an Alfredo pasta, which was also amazing. The pasta was cooked Al Dente and the sauce coated the noodles nicely. As a side note, I was curious to order the Paneed during dinner hours as it’s normally a lunch special and Cappy personally delivered the meal. This is a testament to the overall hospitality of the staff, which is to say you can expect to receive exceptional, above and beyond service any time of the day. 10/10 gluten free recommended. 10/10 for those with less sensitive diets. You should eat here. I will be coming back next year. Thanks for the memories. RG (Banana Foster pictured)"

"The resturant itself is beautiful, clean and a comfortable atmosphere. The host was so sweet and seated my family of five with no wait. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the restaurant and he greeted us with open arms. We dined in at 3pm it was no wait. We ordered the fried fish with fries and ceaser salads, calamari, kids Burger with fries and kids chicken tenders with fries. The adult alcohol drinks were so delicious, our waiter Patrick was very informative and recommended the blue Berry maragtita. The blue berry margarita was garnished with blue real bule berry's and was mixed to perfect!!!! We also ordered the water melon margarita which also came with Watermelon garnish aswell. Patrick was great waiter/bartender. Thank you to Chef Roy a for our lovely plated food it was seasoned just right and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back."
