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

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

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

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

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

Really good food and service. Definitely recommend the Malibu sandwich and the Shrimp Alfredo. I think we will definitely go back whenever we happen to be in the area. 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

Not good they like to charge a lot of money for very little food the waitress thought it was ok to keep the change from are bill a lot of places on the gulf coast think this is good buisness 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

The food was INCREDIBLE!!! The service was great (thanks Samantha!) and the beachy atmosphere was fun! Definitely a great place to go in the Gulfport-Biloxi area! read more

I got the combination plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, and pancakes. Everything is good! The customer service is excellent (good 'ol southern hospitality)!!

Harbor View Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Long Beach, Mississippi

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

One word for you- friedmacandcheeseballs. Ok, so it may not be "one word" as described by the Merriam-Webster folks, but this ain't their review now, is it? Great food, good price, nice atmosphere (albeit a little loud and echoey inside) and if you're eating on the porch in the evening- a great breeze off the Coast. Oh, it seems like there was something else...oh yeah- the FRIED MACARONI AND CHEESE BALLS. Get them. Eat them. Thank me later. 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

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

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

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

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

Absolutely the best place to eat when I'm on the coast! Get the sautéed crab claws, they are so good! Any shrimp platter or fish dish I always perfect and top it off with a month chocolate chip shake to go! You won't regret it!!! read more

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

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

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

Just not the same since the new owners took over. The menu has not changed much but the overall product has went downhill substantially. I feel bad for the servers as they have no control over what is happening in the kitchen. read more

Great for breakfast lunch and dinner. My family eats here at least once a week. Make sure you check your to go order before leaving. I don't think they have ever gotten my order correct the first time. 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

Great local establishment everyone knows everyone else. I went there for breakfast, I had the crab eggs Benedict, everyone at the table enjoyed the food and quick service. read more

Great Bloody Marys and Mimosas on Sunday's. Restaurant is always busy, so sometimes patience is needed. Food was great, exactly what I was looking for in a breakfast place that wasn't a Waffle House or other chain restaurant. Waitresses are very friendly. read more

Wow, can't believe the portion sizes. This was our first time here and the food was excellent. The fried shrimp was perfectly prepared. My wife had the Mahi Mahi and it was very tasty and also a huge portion. Great service, even though they were busy. The cakes were also great. The lemon berry cake was delicious. Long Beach has so many great dining options and we are slowly trying them all. read more
