If you’re looking for a great way to polish off the month of October, Flora-Bama Ole River Grill is a great place to do just that. The grill has a special sports menu so you can enjoy Monday Night Football on it's 30+ televisions. Nestled on the southern shores of Old River, guests can enjoy views of the renowned Ono Island, sparkling water that shimmers and bounces with the sun beams and other coastline beauties. We recommend asking the bartender for a spicy Bloody Mary and a rich and creamy bowl of their famous shrimp and grits. Opens at 11 AM with grand waterfront views all day and the occasional drop by from some of the local inhabitants. Don’t forget to put your toes in the sand before you go.
