Great place! Long lines, get there early. If you are a party of 2, try to sit at the bar. Those girls are amazing!!! Very attentive to all guests, work very well with each other, very personable. It's amazing to watch them work and interact. We were very impressed.

Where to start. Upon arriving it seemed to be a packed house. Must be good??? The hostess told us it would be an hour wait, maybe sooner maybe later. Humm 2hrs and 20 minutes later we were seated. While waiting everyone who approached the hostess was told the wait would be an hour or so. Finally seated thing we're looking up. Not for long. The waiter took our order. I had grilled whitefish, wife had grilled shrimp, daughter had fried shrimp and granddaughter had a child's burger with cheese. She is 4. The food arrived and it looked as appetizing as my rating above. The quality was less than that. The fish was like jerky. The sides were all cold on all of our plates. My wife's shrimp were the worst we have ever tried to eat. Tough overcooked and tasteless. Daughters fried shrimp were way overcooked to the point she left them on her plate. The granddaughters burger was cold along with her fries. We asked for the bill and the waiter brought it to us. We were charged for an adult hamburger and fries. When we questioned this the answer we were given was because it had cheese it was and adult plate. 5-6 dollars for a piece of cheese. The bill cames out to around $80. The highlight of our trip was we had an awesome waiter. Wished I'd have gotten his name. I don't usually do reviews good or bad but I'm getting $80 worth one way or another. My advice, drive right on by this tourist trap. If you choose to eat here I wish you the best. I'm hopeful it was just bad luck on our part but we will not recommend or patronize this business again.

Questions & Answers

Average price for a dinner for 2? Coming from ohio so I want to make sure I eat where its worth.

We spent about $40 for two people, including tip. We did not order alcohol, but the food was fantastic and filling. We both had leftover food we took with us in a to go box. It was too good to leave behind. Often, there is a wait to get in, but it's usually not too long. Everyone knows it's worth the wait. Depending on what you order, you could spend more or less. Alcoholic drinks are about average in price for this area, according to the menu. I hear the Bushwhackers at Bahama Bob's are the best in town. It's a small but quaint venue. Much better than the typical large overpriced tourists traps. Enjoy your stay and experience a local favorite!

Is it suited for big groups?

Bahama Bob's is pretty tight, inside and out with wait times of up to an hour. You can TRY calling, but most of these places do not accept reservations. We recommend The Cobalt in Orange Beach, worth the $ and FANTASTIC atmosphere. Go to Yelp to see wait time.

I have noticed the food is not as good. What’s going on? The cook didn’t really cook or season the food very well. The famous Bama bob burger was lacking in flavor and preparation. Really surprised because it’s we locals that keep places going g.

It's difficult for any local business to be 100%, 100% of the time, particularly when it's in a tourist area. My thought is to go back next week and get the same thing. If it's great, let them know. If it's not, let them know. My worst problem is that I tend to post bad reviews rather than good ones. I was blown away by the quality of food and service at Bahama Bob's a couple of months ago.
