Wolf Bay Restaurant is a fun casual restaurant in Orange Beach, perfect for the entire family. They have a great outdoor seating area with views of a turtle pond.
Wolf Bay Restaurant
Visitors and locals will love the diversity of the Wolf Bay Orange Beach Menu and how great it tastes.
We find ourselves heading to the restaurant often to enjoy their salad bar. It is so fresh and has a great variety of topping options and homemade salad dressings.
They serve high quality fresh Gulf seafood, steak, chicken, and more. We take a lot of guests to the restaurant because we know they will find something amazing to enjoy.
This family owned restaurant has been a Gulf Coast tradition since 1973. The restaurants history started as a former bait shop on the beautiful waters of Wolf Bay in Elberta.
Charlie & Sandra Wrape purchased it in 1973 and began serving delicious seafood recipes. In December 2008, the original Wolf Bay Lodge was destroyed by a fire.
Today we can all enjoy their amazing food in Orange Beach and Foley, Alabama. If you are visiting during the height of the Gulf Coast tourist season (SUMMER peak season!) you will most likely experience a wait to get into the restaurant.
Don't worry the wait is worth it!
Indoor Seating
There is a variety of indoor seating available including booths and tables. The restaurant can fit a large family.
Indoor Bar
The indoor bar has seating around the edges of it with bar height stools. It is located in the heart of the restaurant near the salad bar.
There is also a 2nd bar outside near the outdoor seating. This bar has live music and a lot more seating.
Outdoor Seating
We love the outdoor seating at Wolf Bay. While it is right off of Perdido Beach Boulevard the traffic normally isn't that loud.
If you visit during the day you can watch the giant turtles in the water below the deck. They are used to getting fed so if you stand near the deck edge you will most likely have a group of turtles head right to you.
There is a deck area with turtle food feeders near the front entrance of the restaurant. This is a great way to keep kids entertained if you need to wait for a table.

One of the things we really enjoy about the Wolf Bay Restaurant Menu is how diverse it is. They have great fresh seafood which you would expect on the Gulf Coast but, they also have pasta, sandwiches, steak, chicken, and one of our favorite salad bars.
The menu is great if you have a group that is looking to enjoy a variety of delicious food.
