The Fin and Fork is a casual upscale coastal restaurant. Be ready for a wait as this place is pretty popular, and each dish is made from scratch with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. But don’t let the idea of a wait scare you away; just grab a cocktail, relax and enjoy the view!
Enjoy your meal inside at the bar or in one of the many dining areas where there are plenty of long tables perfect for groups. Textural light fixtures and coastal-themed artwork provide nice accents in the dining areas. For the best view, sit outside on the patio under a colorful awning right next to the water.
The menu reflects the use of local ingredients and Southern style with a twist. Bayou Blue Crab Dip, Yellowfin Tuna dip (smoked in-house), Crab Beignets, and Alabama Bean Cakes (butterbeans have never tasted so good) are just a few appetizer options. Salads include the Robinson Island Salad (blackened ahi tuna, spinach & arugula, tempura fried oysters & mushrooms, wasabi peas and more).
Fin and Fork Seafood Specialties include Coconut Crab Cakes, Crab Stuffed Snapper, and Jamaican Fried Snapper. Of course, they have a selection of Southern Fried Seafood platters, and if you had luck earlier in the day, bring your catch in for their “You Hook it, We’ll Cook it!!.” Fin and Fork in Orange Beach boasts that they serve “privately farmed Black Angus Beef,” and there are five popular filets on the menu. Other dinner entrees include Maple Leaf Farms Duck and Mushroom Ravioli.
And what coastal waterfront establishment would be complete without oysters? Choose from on-the-half-shell, Southern BBQ, Cajun style, Oyster Brioche, or Bayou Rockefeller. There’s sushi too, as if you needed more to choose from!
Leave room for dessert too. Try a Buzzed Brownie (made with Kahlua & Bailey’s), or the Fin & Fork’s signature frozen drink, the Monkey La La; is it a cocktail or a dessert, or both? Ask about the weekly specials like the Cookie Wacker (milk & cookies gone wild).
Make your reservation on their website and visit their Facebook page for daily specials. Fin and Fork is open daily from 11am to 10pm on Friday & Saturday, and from 11am to 9pm Sunday through Thursday. Sunday Brunch is served from 11am to 3pm with three courses, Bottomless Bubbles, and a Bloody Mary Bar—not a bad way to end the weekend! Fin and Fork is located on the water at 24131 Perdido Beach Boulevard in Orange Beach.
