Best Seafood in Fairhope

Awesome Food. Friendly People!
Welcome to Big Daddy's Grill

Welcome to Big Daddy's Grill

Since 2007, Big Daddy's Grill has been Fairhope's easygoing waterfront hangout on the banks of Fish River. Tie up at the dock or park the truck, then settle in for cold drinks, fresh Gulf seafood, and a river view that does most of the talking. Half the fun is deciding whether to arrive by water or by road.

Great Food

Fresh Gulf seafood, big Southern portions, and famous fried crab claws folks swear are the best they've ever had, all at a fair price.

Great Location

Just minutes from Fairhope and Foley, and about 20 minutes to the beach. Come by car or cruise in by boat

Great Entertainment

There's almost always something going on at Big Daddy's. Check our calendar for live music and the event schedule.

Great Company

Bikers, boaters, families, and neighbors all share a table here. Proud to be part of the Baldwin County community since 2007.

Not Just Seafood, Y'all

Not Just Seafood, Y'all

Our fried crab claws get all the glory, and plenty of folks make the drive just for them. But if seafood's not calling your name, we've got burgers, sandwiches, wings, hushpuppies, and more. There's an honest, made-to-order plate here for everybody at the table.

Live Music, River Breeze

Live Music, River Breeze

Kick back on the covered patio while boaters, bikers, families, and locals swap stories over live music. Inside or out, you get the Fish River view and that slow Baldwin County pace built right in. We're closed Wednesdays and hungry the rest of the week, so come on out.

Planning a Get-Together?

Got a crowd? We can seat parties of 20 or more right here by the river. Bring the family reunion, the birthday bunch, or the whole boat crew, and we'll handle the food, the cold drinks, and the good time. Just give us a call at (251) 990-8555 and we'll get you set up.

Where Fish River slows things down

Big Daddy’s Grill has been on Fish River since 2007, serving cold drinks, Gulf seafood, and a laid-back crowd that likes it that way.
