Had to stop in to the historic place and soke up the vibe. Very cool! a small bar but we got lucky and got a place not too long after we walked in. Just browsing the back wall was fun. You could feel the history. Ordered a bowl of the World Famous Gourmet Seafood Gumbo*. Really good. Deep flavors. Bread was awesome to clean the bowl with. Bartender was busy as there were a lot of people stopping in the check this place out and try some food. Definitely worth the stop read more

I highly recommend Mary Mahoney's, I got a salad and Shrimp Etouffe, it's very tasty and rich and perfect for a rainy spring day!! We were seated in a large private room because we came as tour group and they were very diligent with each course and the drinks. I believe the gentlemen that told us some very funny jokes in his Cajun accent was the owner and he was hilarious. The courtyard is beautiful and almost has a mythical feel to it. Give this place a try at least once!! read more

We have been meaning to come here for some time. It's a large home type feel place with a beautiful garden at the entrance. Daniel took excellent care of us. The seafood gumbo was filled with shrimp and seafood. The filet was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The French stuffed baked potato was loaded and easy to split. We hate it took so long to make it here but we plan on coming back soon read more

This charming restaurant is old-school wonderful! Quiet with shabby elegance, like a Biloxi restaurant should be! Rooms are small since it's a converted home with wood floors and windows with rippling original glass panels. White tablecloths complete the charm! Our server was wonderful, professional and personable! She knew the dishes, and we went with her recommendations--crab claws for the app and fish specialties for our mains! Everything was delicious with the accompanying angel hair pasta and whole baked tomato as the side! Order the tomato vinaigrette for the salad--fresh and brightly acidic! Desserts were good--bread pudding and pecan praline ice cream sundae! If you're staying at a casino across the street, this restaurant is worth the short walk! read more

Dining at Mary Mahoney's felt like stepping into a Southern time capsule--charmingly historic with all the hospitality to match. The restaurant is set in a beautifully preserved old home that radiates character and tradition. It's definitely got that classic Southern vibe, right down to the details. My mother uses a wheelchair, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. After checking in at the hostess stand, we were kindly escorted to the accessible back entrance to avoid the stairs. They seated us near the back door, which was also conveniently close to the restrooms--a thoughtful touch that made our visit even more comfortable. Service was outstanding from start to finish. We began with escargot and sautéed crab claws--both delicious, but the escargot's rich, garlicky sauce was hands-down our favorite for bread-dipping. The gumbo was solid, though not the best we had on this trip. My mom ordered the lamb appetizer as her entrée and was pleasantly surprised to find they offered mint jelly--a nice traditional touch. Still, she had a bit of menu envy after tasting my dish. And for good reason--my crab and shrimp-stuffed fish was the star of the night. Rich, perfectly cooked, and packed with Gulf flavor. We shared a side of potatoes that were buttery, creamy, and downright addictive. In the end, it was my favorite meal of our entire trip. Mary Mahoney's delivered an experience that was both nostalgic and memorable, with food and service that hit the mark. read more

Loved the charm and landscaping of beautiful old trees and garden. Service was excellent. My husband's flounder was delicious. My veal was dry and tasteless. The breading was soggy. Cheese was melted on the veal which was awful. I sent it back and had no improvement on next serving. I didn't eat it. No offer was made to remove the charge for a dish I could not eat. We paid for worse veal dish I ever had. Disappointed Won't recommend read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful. I got the Wagyu sirloin medium rare and it was undercooked, had a tough time even just cutting through it. The chicken and sausage gumbo was great though as well as the French stuffed potato! Our server was hard to find and barely really came around. read more

This is a classic French restaurant located on the strip in Biloxi. The interior is a cool combination of old and new construction. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. We at here with another couple who had been here before. I ordered the reddish special that was blackened. My fish was dry and overcooked. It wasn't the quality that I expected given their reputation. Our server was friendly, but he didn't check in frequently and we were left waiting quite awhile to order and later to check out. As we were getting ready to leave, one of the owners started visiting tables and telling patrons jokes, so they were very friendly. read more

We were in a private room for a party. The service was good enough. Although, our waiter did bypass us when he was getting dessert orders. We didn't even know desserts had been ordered until they all came out. My husband and I both got steaks. The last time we ate here, the fish wasn't very good so we opted for red meat instead. Maybe I should have gotten an appetizer. The steaks were flavorless. Mine was soft and cut beautifully, but just not much flavor. This is a great restaurant with lots of history, so I definitely want to go back when we aren't with such a large group. read more

Nice to sit next to large windows and enjoy a rainy day with a nice lunch. The atmosphere was nice. Well at least the ambiance. We were lucky enough to get to sit between a table of more senior folks and I think they were competing on who could tell there stories louder. I guess we could have asked to move. Ordered a manhattan, came out in a rocks glass. I confirmed the drink and our server said it was in fact a Manhattan. Strange. We orders. I had the lunch stuffed fish. It was quite tasty. The wife had the soft shell crab and definitely ordered better. These are very healthy portion for lunch. Both came with a salad. Their house dressing is a very good olive forward Italian dressing. Couple of strange items: As we were finishing our server seems eager for us to finished. Maybe we're her last table. She asked to clear my wife's plate with half a crab left and I was very obviously not done. She was also asking about dessert before we finished eating and then brough our check. She was polite and checked on us often just felt a little rushed out the door. Other strange Item - The people next to us only tipped 10%. The server (not our server) comes out and asked what was wrong and calls them out. They said it was a mistake and corrected but this could have been handled much better. The whole room went silent - quite awkward. read more

Tourist Trap Way over priced with too much hype!!! Portions are small and needs improving.

After eating lunch today, I had to take a minute and tell my experience. The 1/2 serving appetizer of fried crab claws seasoned perfectly was accompanied by cocktail sauce and tartare sauces. I will need to have these every time I visit. There's no comparison ! White table cloths, charming interior, and pleasant staff ensure a comfortable meal. The menu has lovely choices but few descriptions and therefore decisions on sides and accompaniments are often uninformed. There are side salads w mains (never mentioned) portion sizes of green fried tomatoes w seafood on top may come 3 slices if an appetizer or 4 slices for a main. The 1/2 portion of fried crab claws will be perfect shareable for the table...recommend the menu have a bit more info. Yes, bar can be slow. Trust me that a relaxed meal of great eats will override concerns. read more

A true 5 star experience. For starters, the seafood gumbo is the best on the coast. The salad and fresh homemade blue cheese dressing were top notch. For entrees we got the Fried Green Tomatoes topped with lump crabmeat and hollandaise sauce, and the stuffed flounder. Each were out of bounds. All that was left was fish bones and smiling faces! To top it off, let's just say their bread pudding is as good as any in New Orleans. As for the service, we had 2 of the best waiters we've had in over 45 years of coming here. The atmosphere is unlike anyplace anywhere you'll go. The old house is like eating in your grandmothers home at a really special occasion. Majestic centuries old oak trees dot the grounds, and the large windows allow views of them and the courtyard. If you come at night, take a little extra time to arrive early to enjoy the best bar in Biloxi, and sample one of their signature cocktails. If you come to Biloxi, or anywhere else on the gulf coast, this is somewhere you definitely have to go to! read more

The service was 5 ! Our server Amir was really attentive and kind. The crab claw appetizer was good (we went for the full pound, but would have been good with a half pound for the two of us). The queen's ixaltl was the recommendation by Amir, and my husband really enjoyed it. I got the shrimp and lump crab meat Melba, and I could not stomach it. The shrimp was super salty, and one of them was not deveined at all. The cheese sauce was not an Alfredo, but like a watered down white cheese. It was super bad. Thankfully, our server recognized it and offered to get me something different. They ended up taking it off my order, which I did not ask for them to do. The bread pudding was super yummy adding ice cream and caramel drizzle sauce. It does have raisins in it, and I know that is not always something people like. The restaurant looks circa 1970s/1980s, and it felt like a throw back to another era. It was weird and funny at the same time. It was just way overpriced and not as great quality as reviews had shared. read more

Our favorite place to eat on the MS coast and a part of MS coast history! The restaurant and courtyard are beautiful and well kept. The food is amazing. Never had a bad meal here. Service is always top notch and everyone is very professional and friendly. Our kids love it when the owner comes by the table and throws out a dad joke. Definitely need to stop in and visit if you're passing through the area. read more

We got to sit in the "original gangster" room since we had a large group, and I have to say, the decor (posters of gangsters, magicians, actors) was enough to entertain my nieces and nephew. This was an interesting experience, and while I enjoyed my seafood, I must say that I've had better. We shared crab claws for the appetizer, and I had the shrimp and lump crabmeat melba for my entree. The entree was very good - super buttery and full of flavor. There is not a healthy item on the menu, so just know that going in. It was odd to me that there was barely a description of any of the options on the menu. You had to ask for details about basically everything, and our server was a straight-shooter, but she wasn't exactly warm and helpful. At the end, the owner (?) Bobby came into our room to entertain us with some puzzles and word games, and it was hilarious. At first, I thought he was just a random diner at the restaurant coming in to talk to us, but I eventually learned who he was. Again, the children in our group were HIGHLY entertained. It was quite an experience! read more

Service was excellent .. we went here last night food was very subpar for the prices charged. Waygu beef was tough, crab cakes were the only bright spot plus our cocktails. Our food came out cold. Shrimp was not fresh. I just don't see the appeal of this restaurant. We had gift certificates so we thought we'd give it a go, desserts also fairly good but as far as steak and sides there are much better places to go. Would not recommend. read more

One Star Is Too Generous - A Pretentious Disappointment Mary Mahoney's Old French House may bill itself as fine dining, but don't be fooled. I've had better service at a jam-packed Waffle House at 2 a.m. than I did at this so-called upscale establishment. The food? Passable. The service? Absolutely abysmal. We waited 45 minutes just to get water--and over an hour before our food finally arrived. In that time, not a single person came to check on our table. No bread. No drink refills. It was like they forgot about us or we didn't exist. When I finally voiced my frustration to our server, he offered an apology--and worst of all, no manager ever came over to address the situation. For a place that prides itself on being fine dining hospitality and Southern charm, this was anything but. The only thing worth mentioning is the historic building itself. But if you're going out to dinner for good food and professional service, do yourself a favor and go anywhere else in Biloxi. There are plenty of restaurants that actually care about their guests. This place has clearly gotten by on reputation alone--and it shows. Never again. read more

Stayed at Gulfport for work, and was recommended this restaurant from another local. Man this place is amazing. The restaurant to be when in Biloxi. All the celebs when they are in town come here. I had the fish of the day which they offered 3 choices of red fish, grouper or salmon. I picked grouper from Britney's recommendation. By the way she was great with us and really knew what she was doing and super friendly. Anyway, the grouper that was broiled with clump of crab was the best. It was perfectly cooked. The texture was perfect too and truly brought the flavor of the grouper. My friend ordered the Fish of the day too in blackened red fish that I took a bike of it and was very flavorful as well. Aside from the great food, this place is historic and beautiful located in the water district. I loved the experience and will definitely come back if I have another chance to visit here. read more

I think the restaurant is more about the history and the nostalgia. The place is nice and the service was outstanding, the food is good. I had the fish of the day which was a pan fried fish. I was disappointed that the sides were prechosen and it is what it is. This was my first time back since before Katrina and I can't say I will return anytime soon. Again, I think the place has the heart of many just because of the history. read more

Been there many times through the years and never been disappointed before until 1/13 Tuesday night. I ordered the charbroiled oysters and chicken and shrimp gumbo.
