We have been to Orange Beach many times, but hadn’t tried Cotton’s. This trip we did and were extremely pleased. Our waitress was great, we got there at 530 and were seated right away. The food was great.

Quick seating with prompt service. Delicious steaks recommend catching their early bird specials for 19.99.

Amazing place...... Monday night about 9 we arrive from Tennessee. Get to our hotel and ask for a recommended restaurant. All were closed with the exception of cottons. Perfect everything. Service, food was amazingly cooked and tasty. I had the filet mignon, Cathy had crab cakes. Atmosphere is amazing. I did not take a picture of the food. Was screaming hungry. Can’t go wrong here.

My husband and I visited this restaurant while on vacation. We made reservations late that day but everything was amazing. Food was Delicious. Service was great. Note there is a surcharge if you pay with any form of credit or debt. So it is best to bring cash if possible.

My company had a private party at Cotton's last Thursday 1/9/2025, for about 50 people. The chef, waitstaff and coordinator went above and beyond to make it a wonderful evening! Our waitress and coordinator were both very personable and attentive and made the evening run smoothly and stress free! The Chef even created a special, buffet-style menu that was impeccable!! Everything was delicious. We could not have picked a better venue for a duel retirement party for (2) of our employees! Thank you all for the wonderful and very memorable evening! We will all definitely be back! If you are looking for a local venue to host a private party or special event, I would definitely recommend Cotton's in Orange Beach! You will not be disappointed!

01/24/25 Our waiter, Joe, was attentive, kind and friendly. We also spoke with Remy and Ms. Mona, the manager. Amazing group of people. We ordered a hamburger, but they were out. We did go in at a later time (7:45p) and there was also a snow storm, so we get it. We then ordered a drink and an appetizer. Both were fantastic. 01/25/25. We came back for dinner and ordered the burger that we wanted last night. When we walked in, it was like coming to visit family. Remy greeted us as soon as she saw us and Ms. Mona came around the corner with a huge smile and hello. We got the most amazing freshly handmade burger and fries. We were served delicious desserts as well. We also met Sara Grace. We watched her with a party of 12 - Every staff member treats each customer like family whether they are serving a large group or an intimate couple. Friendly, courteous, and respectful! Mouthwatering food! If you are ever in the area, it’s a must stop. Can’t say enough good about them.

Delicious food. Great service. If you go early, there will be no wait. After 7pm, we had a small wait like 20 minutes. Steak is very tender, fresh catch Mahi Mahi was delicious. We tried the bread pudding, brownie, keylime pie, and apple pie. All were really good.
