      What is the dress code?

      A:

      Their website said "Bring your A game!" or something like that. There were men in ball caps, jeans, shorts, t-shirts. Super casual is allowed. It appears like it's trying to be a nicer restaurant in decor but when it comes down to it, if you have… more

      Best place to get fish in Orange Beach. Don't be fooled by the strip mall looking outside of this place. It is very nice inside and offers the widest fish selection of any restaurant we go to in the area.

      This night we had halibut and Golden Tile done Big Fish style with jasmine rice spinach in Sherry Soy Ginger sauce. Yum!

      Wine selection is big and they have a nice bar with seating.

      Looking for a great date night place you've found it here.

      Food is great! Service is great! The ambiance is okay. The restaurant is in a strip mall. And there's no live music. You just show up eat and leave. The food quality and service far make up for a lack of ambiance!

      The atmosphere is somewhat formal, but accommodates families. Sushi is by far the best in the area. Order your fish "big fish style" for Asian fusion type of meal. Great drink menu.

      After a vacation full of mediocre dining experiences I wanted, well really, needed Big Fish to be the cat's pajamas.
      The environment -
      They sat us in the booth line behind the bar, it was dark and difficult to see. I could hardly read the menu.
      The food -
      I ordered the Grouper prepared with dill and capers. It came thick and tough. The second I had to pick up my knife to cut through the fish, I knew I had to send it back. It was promptly replaced with the Red Snapper prepared "Big Fish Style" sauteed fish, topped with scallions & ginger, served with spinach & jasmine rice in a sherry soy broth. I'll admit it was a solid dish, but is it worth $48, no. My toddler had the chicken and fries, heavy on the fries lacking in chicken.
      Their servers and management are efficient and kind. I feel like I ordered wrong; sushi was likely the better choice.

      Another awesome meal at Big Fish. We started with the fried Lobster Tail. Money!!! Ended our meal with the Golden Tile Special. Absolutely delicious. Kudos to Big Fish!

      Always amazed at the unbelievably good food and service we get at this restaurant. Tonight we tried a ridiculously good white chocolate honey bread pudding. The outside of the restaurant doesn't look like much, inside is a totally different story. Great experience overall.

      This was my first time at Big Fish in Orange Beach, AL. This unassuming space nestled within a strip mall definitely met my expectations, as they were built up by family of mine.

      The highlight of the menu is the page of fresh fish that can be prepared grilled, blackened, or bronzed; however, you may also choose the Chef's special which is a fish of your choice, bronzed and topped with lump crab meat, and paired with sautéed vegetables and sticky rice with a soy sauce reduction sauce.

      The wine list was good, and service was excellent. Clean restaurant, clean bathrooms, and everyone was friendly. I highly recommend Big Fish if you are in the area and are in the mood for an elevated, seafood heavy menu in a business casual dining setting. Entrees run between $20-$50.

      Unexpectedly a very nice place, good food and prices, would not expect the interior to look as nice as it does and in a strip mall.

      Incredible fish selection. Prepared perfectly and paired with great service! This seems like where the locals go, opposite of a tourist attraction. No scenic views but your stomach will thank you!!
