Crack, Dip, Repeat: Why You’ll Love CoastAL Crab Legs

tiffany • June 20, 2025

There’s just something about sitting beachside, salty breeze in your hair, and a plate of steaming hot crab legs in front of you. At COASTAL, we believe crab legs aren’t just a dish, they’re an experience. One that’s messy, joyful, and downright delicious.

We start with American sourced crab legs, known for their sweet, delicate meat and satisfyingly large clusters. They’re steamed to tender, juicy perfection so that each pull, crack, and bite is as satisfying as the last. And because we know the magic is in the details, we serve them up piping hot with drawn butter, roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables and fresh lemon wedges. The rich, velvety butter paired with the bright citrus pop takes every bite to the next level.


There’s no polite way to eat crab legs and that’s exactly how we like it! At COASTAL, we encourage you to roll up your sleeves, grab a cracker, and get into it. It’s about good food, good fun, and maybe a little butter on your fingers. But don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of napkins on hand. And if you’re really hungry? Add on some of our other fresh Gulf seafood offerings: shrimp, oysters, Mahi-Mahi, Grouper tacos, crab claws, and more.


While you’re cracking and dipping, take in the unbeatable waterfront views of the Gulf from our open-air dining spaces. The sound of waves, live music, and a frosty drink from our bar makes for the ultimate dinnertime spot. If you’re a seafood lover, you owe it to yourself to come experience the crab legs at COASTAL Orange Beach. So, grab your crew, head to the coast, and let’s get cracking!
