The Compleat Angler Seafood Grille & Bar offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience with the finest seafood gumbo, the biggest and best burgers

in Alabama, and the most stunning views of the sunset anywhere on the Gulf Coast! The Jubilee Platter, the “world’s largest seafood platter,” is even featured on The Year of Alabama Food’s 100 Dishes to Eat Before You Die.

We use fresh fruit in all of our mixed drinks, our seafood is bought locally, whenever possible, our chicken, burgers, and steaks are fresh, never frozen and our produce and other ingredients are garden-fresh and bought daily to ensure a meal that I am

honored to put my name behind.”
