Market by the Bay Takeout Restaurant in Fairhope

Split the large fried seafood platter. Plenty of food at an affordable price. Great shrimp but fish was lacking seasoning. Were out of the pickles and okra so we went with onion rings and fries. Both good.

Depend on quality and service . The freshness is deserving. Crab on indies salad to brag about 5 Stars alone and over the top w/ shrimp poboy / fries

Great fried oysters, softshell crabs, and wonderful fried potatoes. No food over-cooked but cooked to perfection. The french fries are so great that they should come with a Blue Ribbon as the best french fries in Alabama. Same for the seafood which is light and cooked to perfection. I wonder what kind of coating is used, what oil, and most importantly, the temperature of the oil.

Food is always fresh and delicious. Good service and dining areas are clean and comfortable. Their shrimp dinner is the best I've had anywhere in the country.

On Saturday night I ordered a half shrimp poboy with the cup of gumbo. I have had this many times before and it was outstanding. This time, three small pieces of wilted lettuce was the only garnish on the oversized stale bread. There was an adequate amount of shrimp to eat but not as a sandwich.

Our first visit and the food was great! The service was quick and very friendly, we will definitely be eating here again.

We had a quick lunch here. The people were very nice and they really know how to fry! Light and crispy breading on the catfish, shrimp and okra!

Food is great! Tried the tuna dip w/homemade crinkle cut potato chips...delicious. Finished w/homemade banana pudding...excellent! Fried shrimp delicious too!

They handled our group o f 12 very nicely, food was brought out quickly and the shrimp po boys were overflowing with shrimp.

Visiting Fairhope for the day from FL and was looking for a place to eat before heading home. Market by the Bay was one of the suggested places so we decided to try it. It is a must if you are ever in the Fairhope area. The food was amazing and the staff was super nice. The owner even provided free samples of his homemade gumbo to us. Definitely will go back next time we are in the area.

Food was Excellent....My friend and I had the fried shrimp dinner...shrimp were large,hand breaded and fresh...and their french fries are hand cut..good portions/ plenty more than enough to eat. My wife had the Gumbo in which she rated as excellent and also the Tuna dip with hand sliced wavy potato chips. She rated the tuna dip as excellent along with the hand cut chips. We ate a late lunch arriving after 2. Service was great and food arrived hot and fast. We all 3 were highly impressed and would definitely give it a 2 thumbs up. Look forward to eating there again real soon.

Great place for fast seafood.

Had shrimp, coleslaw and fries. Shrimp is best around. Coleslaw was good, but needed a little more mayo, because it was a little dry. Friendly service. Highly recommend.

Awesome food! Fresh food cooked with love. Excellent place.

Food was good, fresh, and fast. The people running are kind and personable, and gladly helped me put together a custom plate (reg seafood plate, no sides, add gumbo). Not fancy but my kinda reg place to go-

Great food. Great service. Love this place!

Shrimp po boy was great. A lot of shrimp. Gumbo is very good as well. Worth the trip

I love fried oysters and they cook the best on the Eastern shore. Great staff. First time I dined at the Daphne location. Look out Original Oyster House!!

The best gumbo I’ve ever eaten. Period. The shrimp & fish were delicious as well. Staff very friendly & restaurant clean.

Cashier is ALWAYS friendly and helpful!

Grilled shrimp were AMAZING! We ate here when driving through on a road trip. They stayed open a little late to finish up my pock up order. Great customer service and delicious fresh food to match. Ample portions and all cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

Service is great an the food is off the chain good!!!

this place is great ! my food was very fresh and hot. Which I love !

It's hard to find fried oysters done right. They get it. Tasty seasoned fries. Good hush puppies.

Really enjoyed the fish tacos. Hushpuppies definitely needs some flavor. If your looking for atmosphere don't stop. The decor needs some serious updating and style. BUT the food is good if you like fried.

This place is not high on atmosphere, but that's not why we go. We go for the seafood and it has always been good. Most recent visit was for soft shell crab, which was very good...

Great Seafood great service

Order at the counter, and sit anywhere. Good food not fancy

One of the best fish sandwiches I have ever had! The Po-boys are good too! I would recommend the shrimp one!

Great food. Great employees. Yearly birthday celebration for our aunt.

It was absolutely amazing! I got a shrimp po'boy, fries, and baked beans. The cashier was so nice and the food was fresh. Its a must for tourists! I loved it and will go back soon.

The Shrimp Po boy was very good and the price was reasonable

The food was excellent. Slaw was not overloaded with sugar. Sides were all good. Grilled fish and shrimp fresh and grilled to perfection! Will go back!

Fantastic fresh seafood priced right. Staff always serves it fresh and cooked just right!

1/2 Shrimp Poboy & a cup of Gumbo...doesn't get any better than this!

Great little Mom and Pop!

Great fresh seafood prepared perfectly! Reasonable priced daily specials! I highly recommend!

Excellent! Always consistent soft shell crabs at a reasonable price, gumbo is full of seafood and the fries are nice and crispy.

The Best Fried Fish and Oysters I've eaten !!!!

An exceptional food experience. The dinner was amazing with fantastic service, a fun and unpretentious Isomerism, eight courses inspired by the art on exhibit, complex and creative plates from start to finish. Locally grown, aesthetically inspired.

Good food not expensive

My son had grilled shrimp I had a small seafood platter. Plenty of food. All the food was delicious. The green salad was fresh and crispy with cheese and bacon. My onion rings were lightly hand breaded. All the breading was light and not overcooked at all. Delicious and quick.

Fantastic Shrimp and Oyster platter. One of the best I have ever had.

Worst oysters and shrimp I have every eaten Never again

Food was excellent as were the employees.

Best shrimp in Baldwin county!!!! Hands down the best onion rings I've ever had!

Gulf Coast seafood cooked to f perfection.

The food was very good. We enjoyed our lunch very much.
