GTs On The Bay

AL Unclaimed
restaurant · Perdido Beach Boulevard · $$

Bay-side deck, the steamer pot, and a sunset that justifies the wait. Easy answer when 'bay-side dinner' is the brief.

GTs is on the bay side of the Boulevard, with a deck that catches the right end of the sunset and a kitchen that does what a Gulf Coast seafood place should do without trying to reinvent it. The steamer pot — sausage, shrimp, corn, potatoes, sometimes crab — is the table order. The view does the rest.

Less polished than Cosmo’s, less rowdy than the dive bars on Innerarity, GTs sits in the middle of the Boulevard restaurant ladder and that’s exactly where most people want to be most nights. The crowd is family-on-vacation in the daytime, locals after 8.

Wait times in season are real. Either show up at 5:15 or after 8:30 to avoid the worst of it.

What to order

The steamer pot is the table order — sausage, shrimp, corn, potatoes, sometimes crab, all dumped out and shared. It’s the dish that fits the deck and the sunset. Beyond that, the kitchen runs the standard Gulf Coast seafood playbook: fried baskets, grilled fish, the raw bar. Order to the view, not the menu.

The deck and the sunset

GTs is on the bay side of the Boulevard, which means it catches the sunset over the water — the right end of it, as the regulars put it. The deck is the whole reason to come. Time your reservation, or your wait, for golden hour and the view earns the trip.

Getting there

On Canal Road — the Boulevard — in Orange Beach, bay-side, with its own lot. It’s a few minutes off the Gulf-front strip, so you skip the beach-drive parking war on the way in and out.
