I love this place! Only thing I'd complain about is our waiter seeming to be rushing us. I've always had the same person every time I go but I can never remember their name. Anyway, for example they would grab our food/plates without asking if we were done or dropping off the check mid dinner before we requested it. Otherwise great energy, food, and people. read more

Never returned since last review. Poor service like we encountered last visit does have to be tolerated here ... many other choices available nearby. Posted this only to reflect the impact of customer service and overall supervision of operations on patronage of a small business. Other local friends and family have shared similar experiences here. read more

Excellent service, delicious food, beautiful dining area, super quick service. We were in and out with full bellies in less than an hour. We had the platters with fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. I had the fried oysters and blackened shrimp, my daughter had the catfish. We also had the fried pickles for an appetizer. No complaints anywhere. We brought home a slice of turtle cheesecake because it looked so good but didn't have room while we were there. Would definitely recommend read more

Decent spot! A lot of parking, and good service! The eggplant fries are a hit - I wish they didn't come as an add on to meals for $4 more. I feel that's a bit overpriced. Burgers are yummy...especially the sweet buns they come in. Would come back if I was in the Long Beach area again. read more

I forgot to take pics of our amazing lunch. The service was awesome, the food was outstanding. We started with a mimosa and a Bloody Mary. I got the Roast Beef which was basically pastrami, the sandwich had Swiss, 1000 island and sauerkraut on marbled rye. The meat was cut in slices and it was the best I've ever had and it was only $8.95 and came with kettle chips. You can sub for fries or something else for an up charge. The sandwich was huge, I took half home and ate it later. Honey had the Hawaiian chicken sandwich, chicken, pineapple and Swiss on a bun. It was really good too. That's what he said, I didn't try it myself. A great deal at $8.95 also. It also came with chips and you could upgrade for an additional charge. The server also suggested a lemon poppyseed dressing to go with the Hawaiian chicken and that was yummy dipping your chips in it. Get there early as lunch on a Monday got busy by 11:30. Drinks were great and priced reasonable. We sat outside and enjoyed the view of the ocean and the breeze as we ate lunch. We will be going back for Sunday brunch! read more

We came here twice on our quick visit to Long Beach. On the first visit, I got a fried shrimp salad because that's my jam when I'm in the south. It was great! We also got the crab cakes, which were perfect. The second visit was with my husband's entire family after their grandma's funeral. We split the seafood platter which was delicious but 100% fried so I gained 7 pounds (kidding.... maybe). For dessert, I sampled a bite of turtle cheesecake and a bite of a lemon blueberry cake. Both were amazing but if I had to choose just one, the lemon berry one was just unique and outstanding. read more

Stopped for lunch today. We enjoyed the blackened chicken Caesar salad and shrimp and oyster salad. Shrimp was small but well cooked, oysters were large and chicken was moist and tender. The view was lovely and the service was great with several waitresses overlapping to ensure good service on the porch. Delightful women, friendly and helpful. read more

This is a little hidden gem in Long Beach near gulfport Biloxi, Mississippi that my husband and I found back in 2012 and then we went again this November 2023. It has a culinary flare, amazing weight staff you can sit along a porch and view the beach we've been there for brunch on the weekends and lunch had an amazing oyster Poboy I must try thank you read more

Wow! This is a great lunch spot just off Beach Blvd. We were looking for something with some variety, and Harbor View delivered! The trio salad option is wonderful. Patrons can choose from shrimp remoulade, tuna salad, chicken salad and coleslaw. Your three choices are served on top of a bed of fresh greens. The tuna was fresh and light. The shrimp remoulade was good. Shrimp was fresh and properly cooked. The remoulade could be a little spicier, but this is a matter of personal preference. My husband tried a land and sea po'boy that was enjoyed, and a nice spin on the traditional sandwich. The kids enjoyed their meal choices, and the atmosphere was family friendly. Dessert options looked fantastic. We'll be back to try them! The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The inside is open and airy. There also is a beautiful porch for patrons interested in outside dining. read more

having walked past this for two weeks while on vacation in Long Beach, we were eager to try this restaurant. We unfortunately visited on a bad night because neither of our meals were delivered as ordered, no one came back to check on us and our service was overall non-existent. would not return. read more

First time here. We drove over and hour to try it out and we were not disappointed. From the time we walked in to walking out the customer service was amazing. Our server Katie was training a new girl and they both were great. Katie knew the menu very well. She had no problems answering all of our questions. The food was perfect also. I tried eggplant fries for the first time and they were amazing. We had the Cuban poboy that was delicious. The fried shrimp wrap my husband devoured very quickly. We will definitely be back and it was worth the trip. read more

Country style decor, nice. Service was superior. Appetizer was spot on, no flaws. Roasted red pepper and gouda soup was even better. Side salad? Looked old, lettuce was not fresh but the ranch dressing, homemade, perfect. Main course: mahi mahi dinner, mixed veggies, and roasted potatoes. Mixed veggies were the seasonal mix u get at the grocery store, broccoli "cuts" should be outlawed. Only florets. Potatoes were a tad over done, dry. Fish was very tough to chew. Flavor profile was okay, everything needed salt. read more

One of our favorite restaurants when we come down to the coast. Never disappoints. This time we had sautéed crab claws as an appetizer and they were some of the best we have ever had. The oysters and shrimp are always good. Key lime pie is excellent read more

I love Harbor View! The food is always good, great service and a wonderful view!

Surf and turf po boy with fries is my go to , but the shrimp platter is also awesome ! Great spot good vibes

My complaint is not for the wait time but for the food we received. We ate breakfast and this was our first time at this place. We received our food after some time, but it turned cold so fast. My waffle went cold fast, seemed like they might be under heat lamps which sucks. My eggs were cold when they arrived. Maybe dinner is better. read more

This was my third time going to the Harbor View. First time was amazing. Second time was just ok. Third time was a total disappointment. 17.00 for frozen popcorn shrimp when you live in the Mississippi Gulf Coast? Really? Catfish filets were very undercooked and the red velvet cake tasted old and stale. Wait staff was super friendly and always there when you need something. On a positive note, the Gouda Bites are legit. read more

I lived here 17 years ago when Harbor View Cafe was located in Pass Christian it was Amazing then and continues to be Amazing now! I'm currently visiting from California and my friends took me to lunch I was so happy yo see Harbor View Cafe in Long Beach and the food was just how I remembered it! It was AMAZING!!! read more

Good breakfast menu. We go there every now and again. I'm being completely honest when I say it's good, but not great. Maybe I'm just catching the kitchen on a bad day. read more

My friends and are visiting from Louisiana and we stumbled upon this place while walking in Long Beach. The food is reasonably price for the HUUUUGE amount you get, and it tastes AMAZING!!! The staff is also super friendly. Heather, our server, was one of the best servers I've ever had at any restaurant. If we ever come back in town, we're definitely stopping at this place again. read more

We had breakfast there this morning and it was absolutely delicious! The best Bloody Mary I had in quite a while! You have to try the eggs!! Our server was also very nice! read more

THIS WAS MY PLACE! Takeout, dine-in, burgers, sandwiches.... the friendliest staff, good food, best value and awesome location... this place is the cutest little spot in Long Beach. When I lived here, I knew the servers because I was here like twice a week. Huge fan, can't wait to be back hopefully soon. Whatever you get, it's going to be good! read more

Kris our server was wonderful!! We sat outside and had a wonderful view of ocean. I got Long Beach cheesesteak which was very tasty. Hubby got southwestern wrap. Next visit we are going to try and get there before 11 am to try breakfast read more

Absolutely excellent food and service!!! Long Beach is most fortunate to have a restaurant of this caliber!

Reviewing based only on breakfast - this place is fine by me. Really impressed with the speed of the service and the overall friendliness of the staff. In a surprise, today's coffee special was King Cake coffee. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm ordering that any day of the week! Even better, the coffee tasted like coffee first with just a hint of King Cake. It wasn't like typical flavored coffees that overpower the whole drink. Very nice. I took the breakfast combo with eggs and pancakes and the whatnot, and it was a solid dish. The pancakes were definitely the highlight. read more

Pulled off to get a a cup of coffee and a snack. Had a wonderful seafood platter and key lime pie instead

Service always great! Before and after owners changed. Food tops in my book. Love the Cuban and the homemade chicken salad. I regular go to for when I have guests. read more

Been several times - good food nice and quick service- needs some rose and Prosecco on wine list for my taste

Very reliable, but very average diner food. This cafe sits in the heart of downtown Longbeach, but there aren't any buildings except on the north facing side. I'll give you one guess why this is. It is extremely difficult to find a place along the Mississippi gulf coast to get a hot breakfast that isn't named Waffle House. The most disappointing feature of this cafe is that they only serve breakfast on the weekends. Unfortunately, I and most other working people eat breakfast every day. They had pumpkin pancakes as their breakfast special this Saturday morning. Nothing too special, but the bacon was decent. My coworker and I also ate here for lunch the other day. We tried their hamburger steak special with mashed potatoes and gravy with a side of peas. I've never had hamburger steak in the actual shape of a hamburger patty, but I guess it makes sense. For those who want a decent Waffle House alternative for the weekend, come here. read more

Excellent breakfast. The french toast is a great choice. The crab cakes benedict is also delicious. Definitely give this place a try for breakfast! On Sunday at least they serve breakfast until 11. I'm uncertain about the other days read more

Excellent. Everything. I can't rave any more than that. Loved everything. Our waitress KELSIE was ADORABLE!! A must visit if you are in the area. Love. Love. Love. read more

Food is pretty good. Service is really slow. Asked for two waters for my friend and I. After our food came she decided it was an appropriate time to finally bring the water. I was a little parched so I finished said water pretty quickly. She said she'd be right back with a refill. 10 minutes later she's taking the orders of the table behind me with 8 people. I walk up to the counter with my cup to get more water. About 6 people behind the counter, no one acknowledged me. There were pitchers sitting on the counter so I poured my own water. I think of you have to go get and pour your own water, it's kinda shitty service, don't you think? read more

Harbor View Cafe - Bloody Mary & Mimosa - Cafes Near Me - Long Beach, Mississippi

First impression, I liked their speediness to get things done along with the friendliness. As per the talk around town I ordered the Shrimp Po-Boy not dressed. Not dressed meaning no lettuce, no mayo, etc. Anyway for $7.75 I got at least a lb of shrimp on a 9 inch roll, (see picture). The shrimp was de-lish as Rachael Ray would say. The bread it came on however was something to complain about. It was soft but was very chewy. Couldn't tell if it had been microwaved or that there was too much gluten in the dough when it was made or maybe the dough was mixed too long. Not sure. But I'm willing to try em' again to see if the problem corrected itself. read more

Set about a block from the bay with an idyllic view of the water, the Harbor View is a real charmer. Be forewarned though, the servings are enormous, so if you order an appetizer, it would be best if you brought along two or three friends with similar tastes who are willing to share. I ordered a fried oyster salad with a side of the eggplant fries served first. When they first arrived, I admit I was a bit worried that these were over breaded. However, with a single bite, those fears were dispelled. A crispy and crunchy exterior with a soft luscious interior made these pure heaven. The slight bitterness of the eggplant paired beautifully with the spiciness of the roumalade that accompanied these beauties. I had promised myself after seeing the serving size that I would eat only half and somehow I managed to eat the entire serving before my salad arrived. And that salad! crisp bright baby greens with crunchy cucumbers and plenty of oysters with a creamy key lime dressing was yummy. There were a few improvements that I think could have sent it over the top. First, don't put tomatoes on a salad unless they are top of the season, they detract from the rest. Second, the salad could have used a bit more acid, maybe add a bit more lime juice and peel to the dressing. Also, the salad could have benefitted from a bit of a bite, perhaps some green onion or a bitter green. The service was very friendly and prompt with refills on beverages offered as soon as cups were low, a feat on porch seating. The only other piece of advice I would offer is to consider more steamed and grilled seafood. I could imagine the salad with baked oysters for example, it would be lighter and equally delicious. read more

Delicious comfort food, kind service, pleasant harbor view (if you're not in front of a tree), warm atmosphere, LGBTQIA friendly, plenty of parking even with a significant crowd, and a waitress who ensured our bloody mary's and mimosas were extra hefty! Absolutely recommend for brunch or an adequate lunch before hitting the town. Don't forget to leave pets at home or crack a window in the vehicle - the signs are clear, so you have NO reason to complain. Honestly, folks, don't judge an unassumed book, by it's ramshackle cover, as our initially hesitant expectations were immediately met and surpassed soon after being seated. Congratulations. We highly anticipate next year's visit during our annual LGBT cross country food escapade! read more

Harbor View Cafe - As seen here, we ordered Everything Omelettes - one sans tomatoes and the other with crab meat. - Cafes Near Me - Long Beach, Mississippi

Kathy and I went to try Harbor View tonight. They have relocated into a new building on Jeff Davis Avenue, the main street in Long Beach. We had never eaten at either of their other two locations, but we have heard good things. Kathy is really a sandwich person and she ordered the combo club sandwich (****) which came with chips. I am really trying to eat healthier and to lose some weight so I tried the grilled fresh gulf fish which today the waitress said was ma-hi ma-hi (**). The fish came with a house salad and choice of pasta or rice pilaf. The low score on the fish is because it was slightly overdone. The worst thing you can do to a fish is overcook it. For the same money I could have gone to Bonefish, where they really know how to prepare fresh fish. Not a great review for them but I am giving them another chance. I will go back and try something different and let you know. Almost left out the server review, the young lady did a good job. They were very busy. read more
