    We are a big fan of the head chef Darian having first seen him win on the tv show Chopped. As always we were not disappointed with my Birthday meal! The grilled oysters were amazing and the portion size of the carne asada for 2 was enough for 4! Definitely one of our top favorite restaurants in Pensacola! Wait staff were also wonderful and VERY attentive.

    Definitely coming back!! I am so glad I stopped by Zeke’s on my trip to Orange Beach. First the ambience was so welcoming with both decor and staff. There were so many menu options to choose from yet I was very pleased with my choice of the wagyu lobster burger. However…. Isabella made my day when she introduced me to star of the show/menu…. the Banana foster bread pudding!!!! I have never had anything as good as this and nicely complimented with salted caramel ice cream!

    Once again, Iron knocked it out of the park. We started with the black garlic gnocchi escargot, which was excellent as always. My wife went with the lamb. Cooked perfectly and excellent flavor. I tried something different in the country fried venison with yukon gold mashed and collards. Might just be the best southern staple turned into fine dining I've ever experienced. In short, another outstanding meal with exception service from Iron.

    Danielle our server was personable and helpful - she called the gopher cart driver for us from her own phone, as our phone wasn’t connecting. She then called to make sure we were collected and safe. Food is lovely - and a lovely experience.
