Heading to Bay St. Louis for a 3 night getaway with the boyfriend, we have both been dieting pretty hard so we are going to use it as a get out of jail free card and eat everything in sight for all 3 days. We love hole in the wall, out of the way, no chains unless they are local and good. We love road trips and are willing to drive up to an hour for something can't miss. Price doesn't matter, but I've been to NOLA a ton and have hit up most of the places well known and touristy( IE Commanders, Brennons, Emerils, Mothers, El Gato,Johnny's Poboys ) so really looking for something maybe between New Orleans and BSL, or something new or off the beaten path in New Orleans that you think I may have missed.
Really like trying new things, and I've promised my boyfriend a donut shop, they are his weakness and our Krispy Kreme got blown away last April, between that and dieting, he has been deprived...

So..if you don't want to read all that...

Local can't miss restarants in Bay St. Louis or Gulfport/Biloxi, Donut shop in that area or NOLA?
Any help, Food board??

ETA:
And of course, the second I post it I run across the thread on page 2 about this...Sorry, but will still take any suggestions!

There is a donut shop in ocean springs pretty much in the heart of their shops (closed on sun). Mary Mahoney's is solid (Biloxi). Trapani's in bsl has reopened on the beach.

Unfortunately many of the hole in the wall places didn't make it past the ol bitch, so many places are in new locations. That being said....
Burgers- mugshots in Biloxi, it's a chain but a local one.
Bay st Louis- unfortunately haven't had any hole in the wall experiences here, but...
Tripanis- on the beach good food and the bar upstairs has a balcony with a fireplace
North beach- its new but the food is pretty good, a block away from tripanis
Actually, look up my threads... I have all this info put in there either yesterday or the day before. I have to go run a 5k in a little bit

Mary Mahoney's, sit at the bar, order the presidential platter. Large platter of petite fried soft crabs and sauteed crab fingers. Enough for you and the beau to share. Tell Mr. Bobby I said hello!!

If you are serious about your donuts, buttermilk drop in the 8th Ward ghetto. If not, blue dot on canal St.

The donut shop in Ocean Springs is called Tato Nut. If he is a big donut guy this place is a can't miss. Get there early, like 5AM early or whenever they open.

When I lived in Gulfport, we ate at Salute's a lot. It is a nice Itlaian restaurant. The dress is somewhat casual and the prices are very reasonable. It is on the beach in Gulfport East of Hwy 49, not far from the Island View. The fried Calamari app is excellent.

I will just take this chance to ask if anyone else remembers the place in Pass Christian with the beer-batter shrimp. Unfortunately I cant recall the name (only went there once -- a LONG time ago). Apparently it did not survive Katrina.

I agree totally with the other mississippians in this thread....Mary Mahoney's in Biloxi is a hell of a good choice...the place has a ton of character and damn memorable food as well...if you do it right, you are gonna put on a few pounds with that meal alone, though!....check it for lunch if you want to save a few bucks but still get dinner-sized portions...

also agree that tato-nut in ocean springs has some damn good doughnnuts and is right in the middle of a very cool little area....

stay at one of the casinos in biloxi and hit both while you are there...

Littleman, I will have to try some of your suggestions....

I wasn't impressed, even though I went in with low expectations.

In fact, I'm still searching for somewhere decent in Biloxi, so I'll check out your other threads for suggestions.

I stopped into Samurai in Gulfport, sitting at the sushi bar. The windows of the Hoshizaki were never closed for the duration of my stay, and there were both fruit flies and house flies buzzing around and landing on the seafood. Furthermore, because the doors were never shut, the condensation was visibly dripping onto both the seafood and flies. I know that sounds extreme, but it's the absolute truth. I think I ordered some fried tofu and another app from the kitchen and got the flock out of that place.

The beer-batter shrimp place was the lamented Annie's, right off the S-curve of US-90 before the Bay St. Louis bridge. For a wide-eyed Mississippi kid in the 70's, this Rat-Pack / High-Falutin' place was 1950's high-stylin' indeed.

Think the Annie's folks tried to make a post-K go of it at a small place off Kiln-Delisle Road.

Go to downtown Gulfport, You have Half Shell Oyster House, Port City Cafe, Lookout Seafood and Steak, and Bachus. After you eat hang around the bars, EO's, Piano Bar, The Quarter, Rooney's and Kelsy's. Plenty of good food and tons of hotties. You can walk back and forth between the bars. EO's stays opens the latest.
