First off, they bring the food out in a giant plastic bag like it's evidence from a crime scene. And honestly, it is a crime--how much butter and Cajun seasoning they put in there. The shrimp were so spicy they gave me flashbacks to every bad decision I've ever made, and the sausage? That sausage whispered sweet nothings to me before punching me in the face with flavor. I'm not saying I fell in love, but I definitely Googled "how to legally marry andouille." The corn was hotter than Satan's armpit, and the potatoes were softer than my willpower. I burned my fingertips, tongue, and possibly my soul, but I regret nothing. The staff is friendly in that Southern way where they call you "honey" and tell you you're "lookin' peaky" while piling 7 pounds of shellfish in front of you. If your bib doesn't say "I'm here for a good time, not a long time," you're doing it wrong. Pro tip: don't wear white. Or tight pants. Or any emotional baggage you're not ready to let go of--because the boil will break you down and build you back better. 10/10, would cry happy tears into my crab legs again.

Those darn hush puppies deserve to be a standalone appetizer! Tried a bite of the crab fondue and that was creamy and rich - wished the pita chips were a better crunch though. The shrimp was fresh and a good portion to be full for lunch, came with a side and I got the sweet potato with cinnamon butter. Friends also raved about the chicken wings and grilled catfish!

Let me start off by saying, if you're on the fence of whether you wanna go here or another seafood…read morerestaurant, you need to come here. This place has just taken the throne as my favorite seafood restaurant in Biloxi. They left me blissfully, miserable, but in the good way when you're full of good food. I should start by saying that the service was phenomenal, very attentive and prompt. We were checked on by three different employees during our meal, including our server. We started with the crabcake, oh my God that freaking huge crabcake. I could've ordered that just for a meal by itself. I've never had a crabcake so packed with lump crab meat. It had fantastic taste incredible cook, and did I mention it was jampacked full of lump crab meat. The only issue that I had with this dish was I wanted more sauce with it. My main was the triple tail, and shrimp combo, which was absolutely fantastic. I'm a Gulf seafood snob, and I think I've done a few seafood reviews, this place, nailed it with both the fish and shrimp. The breading on the fish was delicate and very light, the shrimp was perfect as well. Even the fries were fantastic, Parmesan and rosemary fries paired perfectly with ranch dressing. If these things weren't hand cut, then they fooled me. Also the cocktail sauce, with just a hint of malt vinegar I think, fantastic. This is a very cool, clean and comfortable restaurant. I love the vibe in atmosphere that they've crafted here, absolutely fantastic. This is my new number one seafood restaurant in Biloxi. I would and Will drive an hour from Mobile just to come eat at this restaurant.

Flavor pact to the brim with dry pieces anywhere. Then the entrees arrived and things hit the floor. My wife ordered the coconut triple tail that was okay. The searing wasn't the best and the flavor was lackluster. I ordered the traditional fish and chips which was of Atlantic Cod. The batter had no flavor and was soggy on some of the pieces. Out of the five fish pieces I had, three were soggy and the other two tasted very fishy and cold in the center. The chips were okay as they didn't have a snap to them. We skipped dessert since this wasn't helping the night with our stomachs. Overall; they started pretty high on appetizers but fumbled after

My wife reminded me that last year I had went back to the car to get a jacket because it was so cold in there. Still is very cold.

This time I got the Bayou Businelle and it was so good that after I ate every tasty morsel, I used the roll to sop up and clean the plate. I wish I lived closer to Cafe New Orleans. I still didn't get any pictures as I was hungry and dug right in. Highly recommend.

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. Key, thanks for a great lunch! If you're ever in Biloxi, Mississippi, you must go and try this little gem.

The food here is consistently better, and the oysters, especially, just taste fresher here than the other one. However, for whatever reason, the last two times we've been here, we've just had some miserable waitresses. The time before this one, our waitress had been crying and was walking around teary-eyed, but still managed to give us impeccable service. This time, though, was by far the worst service I've ever received in my life. The waitress we had today was just almost rude. There was no smile at all, no awareness, and no patience - just nothing. At times, she would start walking away before we finished talking and would not give us eye contact. I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes here, but would highly recommend that she go through another round of training, or maybe find another job that she actually enjoys. If we were tipping just based on service, I would say we received the bare minimum. Being the person my boyfriend is, he refused to give less than a 20% tip, because he knows that restaurant and bar staff are not paid especially well, but I really do feel like some effort has to be made. I haven't felt the need to write a review on Yelp again until now, but the service today was just excruciatingly painful. When I had commented to my boyfriend that maybe she was having a bad day, he even said that there was no reason for her to be taking it out on us. If we did not love the food and this was our first time, we would never come back.

Too many issues in one meal to believe it was maybe just an "off day". I understand that Mother's…read moreDay (and the sun shinning) brings in a bigger crowd, but given that the restaurant was advertising a Mother's Day brunch AND they didn't even change the menu from their standard brunch menu, that they would be more prepared. We were seated right away (we did call a head of time to give them a heads up about our group size [10], even with the understanding of no reservations and first come first serve). Drinks were ordered and then brought out randomly and just left in the middle of the table, never with the person who ordered. NEVER offered a refill on anything. Not on water, sodas or even alcohol. Food order was placed pretty quickly. Waitress even mentioned that the Beef Debris PoBoy is good in flavor but that it's the most returned and or disappointed menu item when ordered in larger groups (I believe because it's wet). I took her recommendations and ordered 3 side items asking for them all to be together as a meal. Food is delivered and quite a few things were wrong or missing. Burger - missing standard toppings & over cooked to a hockey puck. Several missing items - meals and sides. The food runners were very confused and couldn't even speak when we tried to address the messed up food. Still no drink refills offered and the waitress was gone for so long we couldn't address the missing meals for a while. The food runners never said anything about the issues. Again, I get it, it's Mother's Day, but a suggestion was made (not requested) and then the alternative was incredibly messed up. Little apologies for any of the missing item issues and then the bills were all messy. None of these issues pointed to the kitchen so it's the rare time I don't appreciate an auto gratuity.
