story and photos by Nicole Jean Martz Hey, y’all! Nicole here, your Gulf Coast Gal.
As we learn more about the cities and towns that make Coastal Mississippi special, I thought it was the perfect time to cover my (current) favorite restaurants in those communities! This was a tough list to scale down but I think it turned out to be a really good representation of the delicious variety we have here!
Have y’all visited any of these? What would be on your list? Connect with me on the Mississippi Gulf Coast Facebook and Instagram to continue the conversation! I love connecting with you all and chatting about hidden gems, gourmet bites, and all of the #gulfcoastgoodness we have to offer here!
Bay St. Louis: The Blind Tiger Everything is always fresh and I really
love the quintessential beachy vibes of this place.
Pass Christian:
Bacchus on the Beach
This restaurant puts their own spin
on classic menu items and I’m here for it. Get the stuffed jalapeños!
Long Beach: Radish
A place known for taking things up a notch and thinking outside of the box. They come up with exciting menu items
that will leave you full but also wanting more.
Gulfport: Blow Fly Inn So glad entrepreneurs decided to revive this South Mississippi icon! It’s been renovated and revamped with definite nods to the classic dishes we all know and love.
Biloxi: Fuji Sushi House I’ve never had a bad meal here. Everything is always delicious, and I love that they do to-go orders.
Diberville: Bamboo Chinese This mom-and-pop shop is one of the best kept secrets on the Coast. It’s classic Chinese food and stellar value.
Vancleave: El Patron
This place not only takes customer service to another level, it also does so with their authentic and exciting dishes.
Gautier: Country Gentlemen
An interested mix of steaks, seafood, and even Greek food. This menu has something on it for everyone!
Pascagoula: Scranton’s
This historic building paired with the hometown cooking and the hospitality is a recipe for a phenomenal experience.
Moss Point: Dem Damn Burgers
They are bringing quality food that puts new meaning into the words bang for your buck! I recommend the $15 Box.
Ocean Springs: The Lady May I’ve literally never had a bad experience or bad meal
here. I’m always pleased and I’ve
tried just about everything on
the menu.
