Wash House Restaurant — Restaurant in Alabama

My wife and I started out with Gulf Crab Cakes and Oyster Lettuce Wraps as appetizers. Both were fantastic

My main course consisted of Grilled Lamb Chops, which included roasted parmesan fingerling potatoes, grilled broccolini, and himichurri sauce. My wife got the Chateaubriand, which she loved.

Our main courses were fabulous and paired very well with a bottle of Domaine Serene 2017 from Willamette, OR. The wine selection here is extensive, with plenty of options.

For desert, we shared the Godiva Chocolate Pecan Pie (which was to die for). We paired it with, what else, two little glasses of Godiva chocolate liqueur.

All told, our dining whole experience was very fun. The wait staff were attentive but casual, and the decor inside was kitschy in the best of ways. The outside is nondescript and understated as though one is stepping back in time, to a restaurant from decades past.

Wash House restaurant is located down by the bay on our favorite road, which runs all the way up to Fairhope's Municipal Pier Park.

We like to stop at other piers along the way, where we sit on benches out by the water, holding hands, and watching big fluffy clouds along the horizon.

The Wash House is a great option for visiting friends staying at The Grand Hotel, which is only a hop, skip and a jump away from Wash House Restaurant. Our friends from out of town like Wash House (and they are even pickier than we are). The area is up and coming, with lots of fun things to do, places to see, and shops for shopping in nearby Fairhope.

My wife and I visited the fairhope area on our honeymoon and were told about the Wash House from a local resident and our hotel concierge. We made reservations and arrived early to have a drink before dinner and were given the option to be seated immediately if we would like. We got our table and decided to have a bottle of wine with dinner instead of our pre-dinner drink. The wine selection was pretty extensive. We picked the Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc and was not disappointed! We both got steaks for dinner. Both were cooked to our specs of medium, unlike other restaurants who over cook their steaks. The crab toast was out of this world for a starter. The atmosphere was amazing. Sitting by one of their windows and looking out as evening approached was the perfect setting for our meal. Definitely go to the bathrooms to try the hand salt/soap/rub. Disappointed I didn't pick some up while I was there. Overall I was unbelievably pleased with our decision to dine at the Wash House. Will definitely go back when we are...

Unforgettable Meal and Amazing Service!

The Wash House in Fairhope, Alabama, delivered an extraordinary dining experience! From the warm, inviting ambiance to the exceptional service, everything about this place exceeded our expectations.

I had the Chateaubriand, and it was absolutely phenomenal—perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and bursting with flavor. The Gouda mashed potatoes were the perfect side—rich, creamy, and downright irresistible. My girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits, and she couldn’t stop raving about it! The dish was a perfect balance of Southern comfort and elevated flavors.

While we didn’t have dessert, we left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and truly made the evening special.

If you’re in Alabama and looking for a dining experience that combines amazing food with exceptional service, The Wash House is the place to go. Highly recommend! Five stars...
