Salad and soup
TP W.

We love trying new places and accidentally stumbled into this place. So glad we did. My husband loved his empanadas and I always love a beautiful salad. The red beans were seasoned great. The women behind the register were both welcoming and helpful in choosing our empanadas. The place is clean, neatly decorated and comfortable.

Ham and queso, chorizo Mexicans, and apple pecan empanadas.

Amazing little joint just a couple of blocks away from the beach. Large selection of empanadas from a variety of cultures. Small salad bar with a huge selection of toppings. They have beer on tap and in bottles, deserts and ice cream for days. The staff is super nice and friendly and the ambience is super chill. Highly recommend!

That looks so yummy - and the empanadas do too lol -- for real delicious tho !

Great salad ! First time here and it was great! Liked that it wasn't too busy and has a classy feel to it - modern decor- we preferred this place to a larger scale restaurant on an early Saturday afternoon- only negative is limited parking - we were good tho because it wasn't too busy ! Fresh desserts displayed when you walk in ! And they even have a smoothie bar!

I had the perfect meal with 2 empanadas and soup. Phenomenal! Shrimp and cheese is flavor packed! The Peruvian chicken is outstanding with chimmichura sauce!! Best kept secret on Howard Street!! My friend recommended the Impossible!

Gumbo Empanada, Chorizo Mexicana Empanada, Crab & Corn Bisque

10/10 recommend! I had two empanadas and the crab and corn soup and they were delicious. You could tell that the crab was fresh, none of that imitation crab! The atmosphere was chill with relaxing music and a great outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice out. The cashier was super friendly and helpful.

So many options for empanadas!

Great location in downtown Biloxi for a quick lunch or coffee. Friendly service. My favorite is an oat milk latte with lavender. Also, a great meeting place!

Awesome if you were looking for gyros! Tazikki sauce…read moreflavorful . Haven't any gyros on the coast that compare. Been eating here since the 90s don't stay in biz that long, with out something being right . Can't beat it so eat it......

Upon walking in, the restaurant had an old time fare about it as the decor was a tad bit outdated…read morewith the beautiful murals, but surrounded by the ordinary tables and chairs. The restaurant reminded me of "Grandma's Haus" without the overwhelming aging smell. I wasn't hungry much, but wanted a bite to eat. My boyfriend was indeed starving and was ready to sink his teeth into some Greek food! We were immediately greeted by this nice and kind server, she was attentive and gave us patience when ordering. I ordered a Greek salad minus the feta cheese. My boyfriend got the gyro sandwich, fries, and zucchini fritters. Our server jokingly questioned why I wanted to opt the cheese, but I gladly told her to make it vegan at which she agreed that she could. I wasn't expecting the salad to be a massive portion, but geez louise, it was colossal with half cut tomatoes, large cucumbers (not the Kirby ones), long strips of purple onions, thick lettuce, the brightest and tangy banana peppers, unpitted Kalamata olives with a housemade viniaigrette. The salad was enough for two, but it was overwhelmingly delicious to finish for one. The olives were a tad bit harder to eat since the pits remained in there, not good for anyone that could struggle with swallowing or can choke easily. I did struggle to fit the tomatoes in my tiny mouth which they needed to be cut more. I haven't had a good salad with that portion size in a while. My boyfriend said that the food was good, but that it doesn't beat Aladdin Mediterranean Grill in Jackson. I could agree that the food was solid. The prices definitely matched what I used to spend at Dimassi's Mediterranean buffet (in Houston, TX) back in the early 2012-2018 before COVID hit. I actually miss those days when everything was dirt cheap. You can't go wrong at Mr. Greek if you are wanting tasty food and you are craving Greek.

The charbroiled oysters were incredible, the red beans and rice were hands down some of the best I've had, and the pork medallions were absolutely delicious. Honestly, every single thing we ordered was fantastic. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and made my birthday dinner even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great place to eat with amazing food and excellent service, I highly recommend The Reef.

I came here for a graduation dinner for a group of 9. They said it'd be a 45 min wait for a table…read moreand they'd text me when it was ready. We went upstairs to grab drinks and hang out while waiting and it was taking a while so I went down to check if they had called my name since I didn't get a text. The hostess said they accidentally marked my name off for a group named "Lisa" and apologized then told me it'd be 10-15 mins. We went back upstairs and they came and grabbed us for our table. We ordered our food and it took probably over an hour for it to arrive. My friend ordered the seafood platter fried hard and she said it was no where near that and her corn on the cob was cold in the middle. They took it back and remade it. My entire group was pretty over waiting and we were considering taking our food to go after waiting about 45 minutes. We arrived at 6:30pm to the restaurant and didnt end up leaving until around 9:15pm. The most we got was a "thank you for your patience" and the bill of course had the automatic 18% gratuity for a large party. The food itself was tasty and I would have given 5 stars here if the service wasn't so abysmal or if they at least were apologetic about it. Anyways, I got the boudreaux bread and firecracker shrimp and both were delicious. My friends that got the seafood platters said they were alright. Some parts were great and others were decent. It's a shame that we had this experience here because this is a place I would have liked to come back to, but I will no longer have this place on my list to consider in the future.

We visited on a Tuesday around 11 a.m., and it was packed. We circled around looking for a parking spot, then walked in ready to work on our laptops, as remote workers sometimes do at coffee shops. Unfortunately, the interior was underwhelming. The the plants looked like they had been left over from last Christmas. The chairs and tables looked old and felt old. Even the September menu was giving Christmas, which was very odd. It felt like they had given up for the rest of the year. The coffee was just okay and nothing memorable. After we sat down with our drinks, I asked for the Wi Fi, and that's when the barista told me they didn't have any. I'm pretty sure I laughed out loud. The service itself was good, and the baristas were very nice. After finding out there was no Wi Fi, I checked Yelp and saw the owner's response to another review explaining why the business doesn't offer it. It's 2026, almost 2027, and nearly every coffee shop has figured out how to provide Wi Fi for customers and maintain reliable systems behind the scenes. To me, it feels more like an excuse. I'm guessing many of the regulars are older locals who don't need Wi Fi and primarily come in to chat. If you're looking for somewhere to work, this is not the place.
