OT. Best places to eat on the MS coast

[whosyourdawgy]

The bride and I will be on the coast this weekend in Gulfport and I'm gonna treat her to a late valentines dinner. Where do I need to go?

Mary Mahoneys

I'm a west side guy so I'll make a few recs:
Bay St Louis: Trapani's & Northshore. Both are nice seafood restaurants.
Pass Christian: Hook and Cuevas Bistro just reopened after burning down.
Long Beach: Steve's at the LB Marina. Probably gets my highest rating when I weight food quality vs value. Snapper Cat Island may be my favorite dish on coast. Harbor View Cafe is great for brunch & dessert. I'm not a cake guy but I get cake there.
Gulfport: Half Shell Oyster House or Capt Al's steak and shrimp. Don't go to Al's if you don't like steak and shrimp. Everything cooked in a pecan wood pit.
Biloxi: Mary Mahonney's. Also check out Blowfly Inn for lunch.

Half Shell oyster house is hard to beat.

Lat time I was on the MS coast I ate at a place called Steve's Marina. The original one was flattened by Katrina and they rebuilt a few miles inland. I thought tey were really good. I've eaten at Mary Mahones one time but I was a child so don't really remember enough about it. I know it has an excellent reputation, though.

I've always liked Trapani's the most, but I haven't been to the newest location. Mahoney's has always been the go to spot in Biloxi. That's a safe bet and right next to all the casinos.

Steves is very good but there's not a whole lot close to it.

[drunkernhelldawg]

I agree with Mary Mahoney's because the experience is hard to beat.

If you want a shrimp po boy, go to Oneals on Pass Rd or Hwy 49 in Gulfport

Try Le Bakery on Oak street Biloxi for Vietnamese Po Boys, wonderful French bread, and spectacular sweet pastries.

Enjoy.

Ralph nailed it, Mary Mahoneys .
Lobster Georgio, or Twin Sisters of the Sea are the best dishes.

Bay Saint Louis: Trapanis or the blind tiger
Pass Christian: Bacchus
Long Beach: Darwells
Gulfport: Cork and Cleaver or Halfshell

[SpeckleDawg]

BSL: Trapani's, North Beach or the new Old Cuevas Bistro
Long Beach: Steve's Marina is a cool place with a great view and if you like oysters - the Oyster Reef club is good. Both are in the LB harbor and have great views.
GPT: The Chimneys is great and a good place to take the wife. Half Shell is hard to beat for the price, Lookout is ok
Biloxi: Mary Mahoney's no doubt

I would go with The Chimneys (trout amandine) or Mary Mahoney's (Sisters of the Sea Au Gratin) and you will leave happy.

[Uncivilengineer]

Mary Mahoneys number one.

[BeastMan]

Bay Saint Louis: Trapanis or the blind tiger
Pass Christian: Bacchus
Long Beach: Darwells
Gulfport: Cork and Cleaver or Halfshell

Darwells is a cool place but I don't know if that qualifies for wine and dine. That's a fun date spot imo

They're at the Long Beach harbor now. On the water.

Lobster Georgio, or Twin Sisters of the Sea are the best dishes.

What was that about twin sisters being the best?

If the menu at Half Shell is the same as in Flowood, get the Redfish Orleans. I don't know what is in that sauce, but it is outstanding flavor.

The same for the Oysters Orleans.

It depends on what you want. If you want good seafood at a reasonable price, Dempsey's on Kiln-Delisle Road close to The Kiln is a great place for fresh seafood.

If you want a classy place with food to die for, I suggest Mary Mahoney's. Bobby Mahoney has done a great job keeping it great. It is THE PLACE to go in Biloxi. Here is their web site.

The Oyster House is a seafood chain that has focused on being more of an upscale chain. I have only eaten at the Oyster House in Biloxi, so do not know anything about their Gulfport restaurant. Here is the Gulfport website:

There are also a couple of combo seafood/bars called Shaggy's in both Biloxi and Pass Christian. They are both built out over the water and have a "Margaritaville" ambiance, and food that is decent, some great and others, not so.

The Mediteranneo in Ocean Springs had excellent ambiance and food, but you had to BYB. It closed recently and is a loss to people on the coast.

[BeastMan]

I'll cosign BB and Dempsey's. It's a laid back atmosphere where good fried seafood is king. If that's what you're looking for, you'll be happy. I've eaten at Shaggy's numerous times because it was close to the old condo. Food is decent but it is a fun atmosphere. I'd suggest having a beer and not get too adventurous on the food (fried seafood, fish taco, fish sandwich, etc...)

Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King. They all have 4 for 4 or 5 for 4 specials going on right now! If you wanna splurge a little The Waffle House across from the Beau is very nice! Clean but the night time waitress only has about 3 teeth.

[Political Hack]

If you want a casual open air lunch with shrimp and beer on the water, Shaggy's is hard to beat. Festive atmosphere and laid back right on the water.

Snappers isn't fancy but has good food.
