Fish River Grill - Fairhope

Me and my family stopped by Friday night for dinner was hoping it would be good very small place so I didn't know what to expect. We ordered the fried mushrooms and fried pickles for appetizers I was hooked already lol and then we got the seafood basket the catfish shrimp and oysters were cooked to perfection and we got the bullet burger it was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. we were very impressed and will definitely be back. The staff was very friendly and made sure we were happy with everything we ordered. Absolutely amazing place

The first time we visited Fish River Grill 's other location, I was on my It 's almost summer diet. My hubs got the OMG seafood sauce and I couldn 't have it. Today, summer is over and I got it! We both ordered a shrimp po 'boy topped with the OMG sauce and fries. They bring out a little complimentary sample of the swamp soup. It has greens, white beans, black beans and broth. It 's delish! Then they brought out our food. The shrimp is plump, fresh and fried to order. The bread is soft, fresh French bread and the OMG sauce is incredible. They don 't call it OMG for nothing! It 's almost like an étouffée poured over the shrimp po 'boy. It 's a perfect combination really. The tea is unlimited refills. The cokes are served in cans with a glass of ice. If you 're thirsty like my hubs, you should probably go ahead and buy 2 when you order. Our food and drinks were about $35 before tip. The place is really small. There are about 5-6 tables, plus 2 wood tall tables with stools that look to be carved from a tree. I would love to have that in our home bar, so of course that 's where we sat. There 's not a patio, but there are windows all around. It 's a little out of the way from almost everywhere, but well worth the drive!

We have eaten at the Fish River Grill many times. Always good food and adequate service. I have had their oyster PO boy, shrimp PO boy, cheeseburger and Swamp Soup. All have been cooked, prepared and seasoned nicely. Recommended.

By far one of the best little restaurants I have ever eaten at. I am not a seafood lover at all but this place was great. The staff is very friendly and the food was top notch. Most seafood places don't know when to pull the food out of the fryer but Fish River Grill knows what they are doing. I had the Gator Bites Platter and my wife had the Catfish Strips and we could have eaten off of one plate. Plenty of food to go around. The Beignets were excellent! No wonder they say the only offer one dessert. Highly recommend!

Service bad. They serve white fish. In an area where you can get great local seafood they serve the equivalent of Mrs Paul's fish sticks. Try the restaurants in downtown Fairhope. So many good ones there to chose from.
