This blog is intended to provide a few of the many restaurants located on water along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Our focus will be on Gulfport and Biloxi since that is where our properties are located at the present time. We will add others over time.
The restaurants listed are located on the beach, across the street from the beach with a beach view or located on a Bayou not far from our properties. If we list one that is further afield the distance will be mentioned. Check back as this blog page is a work in progress.
The restaurants listed are considered good although the author has not eaten at all of them. There are specific restaurant reviews on a related website that is linked here and those restaurants are not all on water.
You should know that there were many more restaurants on or near the beach before hurricane Katrina. Most of those located on Beach Blvd, U.S. 90 were rebuilt so they are modern and well air-conditioned. Many offer decks with views, these are the ones that I like even if the food is adequate, sitting by the water having a cold drink is part of the fun.
BILOXI AREA
Salt Grass – located on the north side of Beach Blvd across from the Golden Nugget Casino. There are views of the entrance to Biloxi Bay even though this is not located on the beach.
Golden Nugget Sports Bar restaurant – Great views of the harbor. The food is great (personal experience) as are the margaritas.
Blind Tiger – located on the beach across from Harrahs Casino. This one has a large deck.
McElroys – On one of the ports in Biloxi near the Hard Rock Casino. Located on the harbor has good views on the south side.
The Reef – Located on Beach Blvd, has a large deck (one of the best decks) with a great view of the sea.
Shaggys – next to the Reef with a deck as well. During the summer they open their much larger deck overlooking the sea.
Slap y’Mamas – Also located near Shaggys and the Reef. It has a deck but it is smaller than the others.
GULFPORT
Felix’s – Very close to our Blue Wave and Gulf Coast Haven properties. This is locked on the north side of Beach Blvd but it is raised and has a nice deck.
Island View Beach Casino – Located on Beach Blvd just west of US 49 in Gulfport. There are two restaurants in this Casino with sea views and decks.
OTHER GULF COAST AREAS
You should visit Ocean Springs, a small city with lots of restaurants and small bars and an active night scene. There are two restaurants on the water of note. Mikey’s on the Bayou a must stop for oysters and McElroys on the Bayou with a great view.
