Market by the Bay, Fairhope in Alabama

"Market by the Bay in Fairhope is a laid-back coastal eatery that captures the flavors and charm of the Gulf Coast. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it an easy choice for a relaxed lunch or dinner with friends or family. Located conveniently downtown, it fits perfectly into a day of shopping or exploring the area."

"We wanted to try this Market by bay at this location. Luckily it wasn’t busy on Tuesday night, so no wait. The waitress was super friendly and food was very very good!"

"We had an awesome experience at Market By The Bay in Fairhope. Vanessa was our server and she was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations without being pushy. She made the whole experience even better. We started with the Nashville Hot Lemon Pepper Wings and they were phenomenal. Perfect heat, great flavor, and easily one of the best starters we’ve had in a while. For the main dishes, the Triple Tail Po Boy was fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The Crab Cake BLT was just as impressive, with a big, flavorful crab cake and the perfect balance from the bacon, lettuce, and tomato. My wife also ordered an espresso martini and said it was the best she’s had in a while. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back, and we’ll be asking for Vanessa again."

"At the very least, this restaurant is 4 stars with a possibility of 4.5 stars. The interior of the restaurant is clean, relaxed, and cozy, but not cramped. Service was very good and they are friendly people. The seafood was delicious. The crab claws appetizer was well seasoned with a delicious sauce. We each got a seafood platter: my mom got the fried catch of the day, triple tail, and I got the grilled shrimp, which was perfectly seasoned. On a side note, the hush puppies were quite good, like crispy little balls of cornbread. We also got their seasonal dessert: "Sonja's Creation" - slice of homemade key lime white chocolate cheesecake. The graham cracker crust was perfectly balanced with hints of white chocolate and perfectly melded key lime flavor to the cheesecake. It was so good, we got a second slice! We ended up spending over $100 with the tip, but depending on what is ordered, I believe it would be priced like a typical casual seafood restaurant in a downtown area. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this restaurant a try, especially since there are other items on the menu and especially since they put a lot of effort into their dessert."

"We made a little trip to Fairhope and encountered this restuarant. Put it on your list of things to do. Casual, friendly. Menu is pretty simple and the food was really good. My better half had Shrimp tacos and she thoroughly enjoyed them and I had the shrimp Poboy, plenty of food you will not go hungry. Price is good atmosphere hood"

"Absolutely love going here because the food is always delicious and the service is always perfect. Very cool environment. You can't go wrong"

"My mom and I had a great experience. As we entered the door the bartender was very inviting and greeted us with a smile and bubbly attitude. We found our seats and were quickly attended to by our server, Amber. She was very sweet and attentive. We ordered cocktails and they came out pretty fast. I had a raspberry lemon drop while my mom had the old fashioned. Both made to perfection. We both ordered the gumbo and when I say it’s the best I’ve ever had outside of my mom’s, that’s no lie. Our food came out quickly as well and was so delicious! We both had crab claws; fried and Nola BBQ. There were enough claws that 4 people could have shared them and still been full. I was observing other patrons and everyone was happy with their food, drinks, the taste, and serving sizes. Kudos to everyone in the front and back of the house. You made a lot of people happy that day!"
