This is the one place I visited on my first trip to Orange Beach and made a point to return to on the next trip. During my second trip to Orange Beach I visited this restaurant twice and cannot wait to return again. This restaurant is located on the bay side of the main road that goes along the beach. It was just a couple of miles from our hotel. The view from the restaurant is great. They have lot of fishing boats docked right behind the restaurant so you can walk around outside and watch the boats as they come in with their catch of the day. You can also watch the boats while dining. These boats were all really nice and clean and neat looking not just an everyday fishing boat.
The first trip I made to the restaurant was several years ago and me and my mother split a sea food platter. It has lots of crab legs, royal red shrimp, oysters, potatoes, corn, and more. The platter was more than the two of us could eat and it was absolutely wonderful. It was the best shrimp I have ever eaten. My second trip was for lunch on the day we arrive in Orange Beach. We could not check into our room yet and it was raining so we decide to go have a nice lunch. We arrived and the place was not very crowded so we were quickly seated by the window overlooking all the boats. Our waitress was wonderful. She was quick to take our orders, very friendly and catered to my young son. We ordered shrimp sandwiches and quickly received them and they were delicious.
A few nights later on this same trip we went back to the restaurant for the Sea food platter we had been wanting. We arrived early and got to see many of the fishing boats coming in and were quickly seated. Our waitress was not near as nice or friendly this time but we did order the sea food platter and again it was wonderful and we had leftovers to take back to the room for lunch the next day. I will continue to eat at Zeke’s Down under when I am in town. The atmosphere here is very casual. They have a large bar area but also plenty of regular seating.
