Ms Audrey offers plate lunches, basically following the "meat and 3" (or two) concept, along with freshly brewed iced tea, sweet or not. I went for the catfish and shrimp combo, with sides of gravy rice and mac, and it was all perfect. Breading was light with the right crunch, tangy rice was great with brown gravy, and the mac was dreamy creamy. Ms Audreys is open for lunch six days (closed Saturdays) and is kind of in a back neighborhood, housed in a former elementary school, gym I think. Worth the hunt the next time you're hungry on the Gulf Coast, Gulfport/Biloxi.

The negatives, everything else aside from the mashed potatoes was cold like it had come out the refrigerator even under the heat lamps and everything was flavorless. Not a single employee gave a care and the food's temperature had to have been a health violation with not being held at least warm. We arrived at around 6:15 and the place closes at 8. One employee decided she wanted to vacuum the dining room shortly after we sat and was hitting our feet as she was trying to get under our table. She didn't care and seemed to just wanna get it done. Hard to enjoy cold flavorless food when the loud vacuum is hitting you. Don't waste your money.

Flamingo Landing is located next to the bridge on Lorraine Road, and sits right on Bayou Bernard…read morewith a dock for boaters. It was originally named Marina Cantina but is under new ownership. Parking is a bit sparse here, and you used to be able to park under the bridge but that was blocked off last time I went. You may have to park in the overflow gravel lot just west of the building, which also serves as parking for the excellent Blue Dog Bistro next door. We started with the Tres Amigos appetizer, which included a pile of fresh chips combined with salsa, cheese sauce, and black bean sauce. It was great and really meant for more than two people. They don't skimp on this one. I've been here several times and always get the Shrimp A Go Go poboy, which is pictured here. Although I feel like it could have used a few more shrimp for the price point, it was really good and comes with this creamy sort of salsa that pairs well with the fried shrimp. My wife got the grilled chicken sandwich, and honestly it was bigger and looked better than my poboy. I am definitely trying that next time. I hope this place is doing well because it never seems very busy when we go. It's like something is missing on the inside to liven it up. Our tables were covered in epoxy that was cracked and we saw buckling on the wood floors, most likely from humidity. Service has always been pretty quick and I have never had any complaints. I know the City caused a lot of drama for the previous owners, which is unfortunate. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a place to hang out and have a few drinks and great food.

Nothing really 'epic' about them but good. Finally we had some Flamingo chicken bombs. Deep fried tenders and jalapeños. Pretty tasty and hot!

This is a great place! I will be honest with you. I did not know about this restaurant until I saw…read morea review on here. It looks so good! I had to try it out for myself. I found out that this particular restaurant is the old Gaston Point Elementary School Cafeteria by the Gulfport Memorial Hospital. No fault on them. I was a bit confused where to go. It was my first time. Oops I also found out the menu can vary depending upon the day you want to go. We just happen to on Friday. They are serving the fresh shrimp and local catfish. They are mainly open during the lunch time. Please refer to the menu and website for details. If not, just call. They do offer togo orders and they provide catering services I believe? Please reach out to them and ask. As we walked in. We smell the wonderful food cooking. We noticed a lot of people were waiting and not eating. I was curious and surprised. I thought they just ate and just hanging out here for their lunch break. It turns out the friendly staff mentioned that they were not in line but waiting for the fresh catfish and shrimp they just started cooking the second batch. Oh good, I was worried that I missed something or was cutting in line. We started out with the fresh fried chicken. Had to get the Mac & cheese. And rounded out the plate with broccoli with cheese. The fresh baked cornbread. The chicken was well seasoned and very tasty and crispy. The Mac was good. The broccoli was delicious. Well cooked. I am glad. Usually when you order it. Other places tend to under cook them. You can tell it was boiled not steamed. It was a bit watery. As soon as the second batch was done. All the sudden it got crowded and long line. Like everyone else knew. A bunch of people showed up and getting catfish to go. We instead got the shrimp with Mac and broccoli with a fresh baked roll. With a side of cocktail sauce to dip. I heard they do whole catfish instead of fillets also! Not many places offer this. They offer some great dessert options. But we so hungry and really just planned on eating just the main dish. If you have the room. Take the opportunity to enjoy their delicious desserts! We both washed it down with fresh brew sweet tea. They also offered few other drinks options and sodas (coke products). Refills are available. Of you want to add more to your meal. They offer condiments for them. Or want to add some more spice. Black pepper, hot sauce, ketchup, or pepper vinegar. Seating is mainly table seating. Lightly padded on the bottom with a hard metal back. If you want more space and padding. They do offer booth and table seating. The food is delicious! Make this part of your lunch routine. No Wi-Fi I can see. They do offer catering opportunities for thanksgiving. Please reach out to them and see.

Key deserves a huge shout out for being such a sweet and attentive server. I liked her tremendously. We had the boudin egg rolls and the Swamp Tour Sampler: jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, gumbo, and red beans and rice. For dessert, we had bread pudding with beignets. The Boudin egg rolls were the best thing I ate on my entire trip. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly crispy, every bite was heaven. The jambalaya was the best jambalaya I had on my trip as well. It had a fantastic smokiness and was not wet at all. I also loved the crawfish étouffée. It was creamy and loaded. The red beans and rice had a bit of a sweet edge that was not quite my taste. Try for yourself. The bread pudding was the perfect sendoff. Bite-size beignets were nestled in the bread pudding. It was a sweet, creamy, perfectly Mississippi dessert. I loved Parrain's so much that I bought a T-shirt. I generally don't like wearing clothes that serve as advertisements, but this place just has to be advertised all around the country.
