MS Gulf Coast Eats

Mary Mahoney's is legit. I'd definitely go there one night.

I'll second Mary Mahoney's. Really good bar. Get the marinated crab claws. Plus, they fill the urinals with ice. That's class.

I'm a big fan of Government Street Grocery in Ocean Springs. It's like Chelsea's Cafe, but with a better beer selection and better food. Good burgers and they make this stuff called beach bread that's super tasty, but I'm sure so bad for you.

People will say Mahoney's is overrated, but it's really the best place out that way. By a lot.

Half Shell is good for oysters, but nothing mind blowing.

You should check out a few places in the Beau. BR Prime and Jia are solid offerings, though can get pricey.

Sycamore House is decent. But they have this pretentiousness about them that just rubs me the wrong way. Id almost rather just go to Trapani's if im in BSL.

Bacchus is decent as well but it is just missing something. Some of the dishes are just thrown together like you would if you threw something together quick in your kitchen... which is fine, but it seems like they are going for a more upscale feel. I dont know, just seems like an amateur operation with no direction. But the food itself isnt bad, though it is a little overpriced.

Blind Tiger is a cool spot to grab drinks. Their menu is pretty limited and the food leaves a lot to be desired. It has potential, though.

Nothin' but the best.

I've never tried Trapani's, and I've always wanted to, but a friend of mine said it's gone downhill (he doesn't know much about food though). I'm thinking I'll give it a shot.

Yea, it went through a rough patch while on the highway and it took some lumps in it's new building, but they're relatively consistent now. I'm not too adventurous with what I order so I tend to be very pleased with my dinner. Gotta come check out the harbor if you haven't seen it.

Island View and the Slipper are far from each other and you'll pass a ton of good places in between. I'm going to try and round up a redfish or two with my boy this weekend. Not sure where though. I don't have a boat, so it'll either be off a pier or while doing some minor trespassing.

I hear they're looking for a new spot. They wanted to move into the club house in Timber Ridge, but those broke dicks wanted to charge them an insane amount. Probably not the best spot in the world, but it's ready to go. I wish they would have got the Bacchus on the Bay spot. I think they would have killed it there. I wish they'd get their product out soon.

My son loves Trapani's spaghetti and meatballs and the old chicken strip app that's still in the computers, though not on the menu, so we eat there quite a bit.

What's good at Darwells?
