What a great local restaurant in Long Beach, Mississippi. I had opportunity to stop by for lunch. The restaurant had super friendly staff and good food, in a cozy space. They have a fairly extensive menu. I tried the shrimp po-boy. The sandwich was full of fresh, well-seasoned fried shrimp. Talk about southern comfort food, that po-boy it the spot. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Pirate's Cove - Burgers Near Me - Pass Christian, Mississippi

We come here for fresh poboys. My favorite here is usually the roast beef that is smothered in gravy. I decided to try the catfish recipe poboy this time and had a few bites of the Cuban and the shrimp one. All were delicious. Love the bread, perfectly toasted. Service here is quick and everything is served piping hot. The staff behind the counter is grabbing drinks as you're placing your order. So you have your drink in hand as you're walking away from the counter, while waiting for fresh food to be prepared. It's super casual with lots of benches and wooden picnic style tables.I've never had trouble finding parking. But the downside is when you're leaving the lot, if there was a train that passed, traffic might be backed up so take your time leaving the lot. read more

I am glad that we came to try Pirates Cove since so many had recommended it. My husband ordered two po boys- their sweet heat brisket and a small fried shrimp. I was on a mission to try their roast beef. Absolute deliciousness! It was messy as a great po boy should be. I had a side of gravy for it and to dip our fries. This gravy was so rich and the perfect compliment for the roast beef. My husband devoured the brisket so I knew that it was a hit. He is a fried shrimp fanatic but wasn't too crazy about the shrimp. He said that it needed some seasoning in the batter. He loved their fries with the gravy. I now crave that roast beef po boy quite a bit. It's a short drive away from us and I am extremely grateful for that! read more

Pirate's Cove - Roast beef po boy. They do not mess around! - Burgers Near Me - Pass Christian, Mississippi

Old school Pass Christian favorite! So it is a regular stop for me shrimp poboy or roast beef po boy are our goto but today I splurged on a seafood combo (shrimp and oyster) I off course added corn nuggets but you know the have the best fries and onion rings! Let's not forget the Barqs root beer in a bottle! That alone reminds me of my dad! Some days I will add a scoop of bluebell for a float but today was just a root beer. Service always with a smile, made to order and delicious. A Pass favorite. So if you're curious it's a must visit on the coast. read more

Overpriced- sub-average food. Can get better food at same price down the road. I will say it was clean.

For many years, I have rated the PC Roast Beef Po-Boy as Super, Superb. But today, it was the WORST Beef and was too chewy and hard to digest. Interestingly, for a Saturday, there were not many folks there. My famous last words are: I SHALL NOT Return! read more

My Husband ordered a buffalo shrimp po boy that my son and I tried to eat for ourselves. My cheeseburger was a decent size. I didn't care for the fries, they were fried twice, but that's not my preference. Both children had fried shrimp baskets, decent portions. Establishment was clean and the staff was friendly. The food was good, just nothing we would drive from our home of an hour away. read more

I've patronized Pirate's Cove since they were just a small shop on the beach long time before Camilla. I have never been disappointed in anything! The food, the service, the ambiance has all been great!!! We compare their PoBoys to other restaurants and their always is far better! The quality and abundance of a Pirate's Cove PoBoys is far superior!! In other words - Pirate's Cove is the best on the coast!!!! read more

I'm not sure what has happened to their roast beef poboys but they used to be amazing. Got one today and the roast beef was dry with no flavor at all and not sure why but the gravy was just plain weird?? They used to have the cajun roast beef and wonderful gravy. Definitely will not be going here again. read more

Great service Friendly staff Buffalo bacon shrimp poboy was fantastic . Chicken tenders also very very good and a nice portion read more

Pirate's Cove - Cheeseburger, cup of gravy, corn nuggets, shrimp poboy - Burgers Near Me - Pass Christian, Mississippi

We dined in with a group of five at Pirate's Cove on Saturday afternoon about an hour before they closed. The service was awesome, the food was affordable and it tasted good. They do close at 4 PM, so you want to arrive for lunch to give them a shot. Everyone liked their food. My son had the hamburger (single) with all toppings and french fries. I ordered a 1/2 size (6 inch) po boy with fried oyster and fried shrimp with alll toppings and fries. My husband and mother in law had the chicken tender po boy sub (whole & split it). The half subs were a great size. Their tap water did not have an after taste. My brother in law ordered the same sandwich as me and his gf ordered the shrimp po boy! There were no complaints about the food, portions or taste. They even had bluebell ice cream cones available and shakes. The icing on the cake for my son was the mini arcade room, where he got to play a few games while we waited for our food to come out. This is a must have if you are in the area or even neighboring cities like Gulfport or Long Beach. We will be back! read more

The shrimp poboy has had the same great taste since my parents brought me there as a child in the mid 1980s. Although they need to get some better arcade games like the use to have on the beach. Service is always great. Ambiance is fun. read more

Picked up a shrimp Po Boy and split it with my daughter. Always good to the last bite.

I happened to be in Pass Christian , Mississippi on some business and had a few hours so we decided to have a couple of Po Boy sandwiches. I had a large Shrimp Po Boy full dressed and my friend had their large Cheeseburger Po Boy . We had an order of Fries and Onion Rings . The sandwiches were great. My Po Boy was loaded with Shrimp. dressed with lettuce , pickle, tomatoes, along with a simple Mayo . The fries were coated crunchy and tasted great. My onion rings were cooked perfectly and weren't at all greasy. I would definitely come here again. Compared to other places in the area, their prices were fair. Next time, I'm going for the Roast Beef Po Boy. It looked delicious too read more

Waited about 15 minutes and paid almost $15 for a very disappointing meal. The corn nuggets were small but good. The chicken strips should be called chicken nuggets because they were so small. But they had diet root beer , so that was a plus! And also I didn't think that the register should prompt customers for a tip when all they offer is counter service and not waitress / waitor service. read more

Best tasting food cooked in Pass Christian Very very tasty food and delicious and great service every time we go there read more

My first order in a few months. I ordered online a roast beef poboy, French fries and a shake. No problem placing the order and it was ready for pickup when I arrived. I was disappointed with the poboy and fries. The fries were not crisp and greasy. My guess is they're using frozen seasoned potatoes. The poboy was very bland with almost no flavor, very different from previous meals. Not worth the cost. read more

Best po boy that I ever had. I will get more. Roast beef po boy was off the chart. Corn nuggets are to die for.

Such friendly staff, next to no lines, and quick service! I got a Cuban sandwich there that was very good. Not the best Cuban I've had, but WAY better than I expected from a small restaurant in Mississippi, far from Cuban country Florida. Their prices are pretty fair too. I love the ambiance, it's so cozy and feels like a piece of history in a way. Definitely surprised me and I will be back again, hungry for more...likely for their signature roast beef sandwich. read more

Great service and friendly staff. The fried shrimp boys are the best in the south. Location is great for where we live. Give it a try you won't be sorry. read more

This restaurant was very busy. You place your order at the counter they then call your number, when it's ready. It's pretty much self serve. I ordered the roast beef with gravy sandwich that came with French fries and my wife ordered the bbq beef sandwich & hush puppies. My sandwich tasted like reheated beef as well as the wife's. Both meats were tough to chew with little flavor, we were expecting more. The only saving grace were the hush puppies and French fries. There was plenty of seating with lots of tables and chairs and looked clean and well kept. This was my first visit and possibly my last, this was my wife's second and agreed with me. Im hoping they were just having an off day but we'll never know. read more

What a disappointment! My husband and I were craving a roast beef poboy from Pirate's Cove as they have always in the past been delicious. Not today! The roast beef was tough, the gravy, which used to be awesome, tasted like canned, and the bread was cold. The fries were really good. The girls at the counter were delightful. They were the only reason for the two stars. We were wondering why the place was almost empty on a Friday during the dinner hour. Now we know why. It is not what it used to be. read more

The best poboys on the coast! All local seafood, and the roast beef is homemade. Definitely worth the cost with the amount of food you get! Always fast service, and great hospitality! read more

Great place for lunch. My only concern is the military discount. They offer one but you have to be in military uniform. The closest base is 30 minutes away, who's gonna waste there whole lunch break driving(scam). Do the right thing and honor all veterans or not at all. read more

We had the shrimp poboy, onion rings, roast beef poboy and messy fries. Shrimp poboy was smaller than I remember from previous visits but still tasted good and so did the onion rings. Well, the roast beef poboy was good, but whatever dark gravy they are using now on the RB poboy and messy fries doesn't taste good, IMO. It doesn't taste like the homemade gravy from previous visits. read more

Service friendly and fast. The decor is how I remember it 40 years ago, even though it was rebuilt after the hurricane. Great poboys that are loaded not skimpy read more

I've been a Pirate's Cove patron since my teeth came in. Years ago (won't say how many, just trust me, it was years back), we used to visit my late Grandmother's on East 2nd, and we would walk to my cousins' on Espy to gather them up, then we would head to the old location of the Pirate's Cove for lunch before heading to the beach. Shrimp poboy -- always... the seasoning was perfect and I could eat the bread - not too hard, not too soft. After Katrina, one of my aunts was thrilled to tell me they opened a location, so when I came to town, we stopped there and the flavor was the same, and wow did the taste just flood my head with memories. I don't make it to the Pass as much as I want to these days, but on a visit in the not-too-distant past, I swung by the Menge shop, and while I don't order too many friend things these days.... a shrimp poboy was a must, and memories of my childhood, sand, my grandparents, family, holidays, and that good ole Pass feeling just overwhelmed me. Even if you don't have a connection to the Pass, the Pirate's Cove will give you one, and you'll want to come back, come home, again. read more

My husband and I have been contemplating stopping here and we finally did yesterday and wished we wouldn't have. My husband ordered the Roast Beef po boy with French fries - the meat itself was ok, but the gravy was burnt and had a strange taste like it had been cooked down way to far it was very very dark, and the French fries were soggy and tasted like old grease. I ordered the shrimp po boy and onion rings - the shrimp were frozen (Sam's club like) the batter wasn't even sticking to them, and they were clear looking - strange. The onion rings were not fresh (frozen) over cooked and greasy. We were both really disappointed that a restaurant that has been on the coast for this many years would serve frozen shrimp and not have more pride in the quality of food they are serving. He had a Root Beer and I had a Diet Coke so I total was around $ 35.00 - there are many many restaurants on the coast that serve local shrimp and good quality food that we can stop at for $ 35.00. read more

This place is a long running standard of excellence in poboys. There used to be one in Gulfport but that was many many moons ago. Katrina wiped out the original location of this one and they even reopened as a trailer for a while when this was being built. Easily the best shrimp poboys in town. I used to love their roast beef but I don't know if it's changed or me but I'm not crazy about it anymore. This is a MUST anytime I'm home. read more

The shrimp Poboy's here are very good. The place is just a couple of blocks off of the beach and Highway 90 in Pass Christian and it's worth stopping there if you were on your way past the area to pick up lunch. read more

The best shrimp po boys and roast beef po boys anywhere. I'm biased because I've been coming here for over 30 years. Though I live far away now no visit to the coast counts without a visit to Pirates Cove. The best! read more

Pirate's Cove is a great casual place for a po-boy, but I have to strongly disagree about their roast beef. Pirate's Cove is wildly popular with locals. I had several tell me how much they love it, but they were particularly vocal about the roast beef po-boy. I'll get to that in a minute after explaining to you why you should visit Pirate's Cove. The Good Pirate's Cove is an order at the counter, get a number, and seat yourself kind of pace. While not normally a fan of that format, it works here. The employees are incredibly friendly and welcome each customer, regardless of the line, warmly and as friends. This is a po-boy joint. Don't expect fancy takes on modern classics. You're here for a good, classic, New Orleans style sandwich. Although proper bread is hard to get outside New Orleans, they toast theirs which gives it that crunchy exterior that is required for a good po-boy. I've tried several different types, but think the cheeseburger is one of their best offerings. The shrimp is also good, but I think the thin pattied cheeseburger is the best. Roast Beef Po-boy Ok. If you love their roast beef, you can stop reading here. Never in all my years on this earth have I heard so many people rave about a roast beef po-boy and it turned out to be so bad. They claim it's world famous, but I find that hard to believe. Their roast beef seems to be sliced deli roast beef with an artificially dark gravy. The gravy is so dark, it is nearly black. It is incredibly messy, but lacks the flavor I've come to expect from a legit homemade roast beef. Looking down and seeing my hands coated in black goo was not my idea of fun. If this is the best Mississippi has to offer, I strongly recommend you make the hour drive to R&O and taste what a real roast beef should be. Should you visit? Absolutely. I am a roast beef purist. Don't let that stop you from visiting. Pirate's Cove makes pretty darn good sandwiches as long as you stay away from that roast beef. read more

Lunch stop- friendly folks-I usually get the famous roast beef po boy, but today tried the fried shrimp, 6" poboy. Wow- best shrimp poboy I've had in a long time! Plenty of shrimp, hot crisp and seasoned just right. Great bread. Fully dressed. French fries also good,--generous portion for my appetite so I shared. Barqs in the bottle made it a perfect Mississippi Gulf Coast meal! read more

We've been here multiple times and it never disappoints. I got the chicken po boy... he got the roast beef. French fries are a must and are probably one of the best things on the menu. Super crunchy! Yuuummm. The staff is always friendly and remembers him whenever we come in. Lacking that last star because I really really wish they had a spicy chicken option. Hot sauce isn't really the same as a great Cajun spicy flavor. Still love them though! Also... get a dipped cone. Totally worth it! read more

Family owned. Best Po-boys on the coast. Like many businesses, they are struggling trying to find workers. Believe me, they are very kind people. Make sure you know the days they are open. It's worth your time and money IMHO. read more

I totally agree with the review by Annie H. She already said what I was about to write so I will be short and direct. My sister took me there and has bragged about the roast beef po-boy. I thought it had too much gravy and roast beef was rather bland. It wasn't a bad roast beef po-boy, but I have had many over my lifetime that were better. Not desrving of 5 stars. read more
