We stumbled upon this place after a VERY encounter across at a competition restaurant. What a refreshing change. We sat outside, waitress was incredibly friendly and upbeat. 2 of us had the fish tacos and they are AMAZING each of us agreed the ambiance and food are awesome, and the service was top notch. We will be back.
Came here for lunch recently and fell in love with this spot! All of the food that we ordered was fantastic and their drinks are phenomenal. Such a fun spot since you can drive up on your boat or jet ski. I am excited to come back here!
First time coming to Bay Saint Louis and we tried this place as it was highly recommended by the locals. I loved that it had views of the water. We got here and it was a little tricky. We could not figure out where the front door was or where to enter to find a hostess to be seated. Maybe because we came here on Tuesday, things are more lax, but we went to the area where there was a bar and then we walked all through the bar and then outside down the ramp and still no one. So that was my only gripe. Once we found someone to seat us and take our orders, it was much smoother from there. We ordered loaded fries, shrimp tacos, and nachos. Can't go wrong with any of that! I absolutely loved the shrimp tacos. It was a bang bang shrimp flavoring with a kick. Everything was good. The waitress was so sweet too. We loved the views. It was a perfect sunny day with a hint of cool breeze. so nice and relaxing.
Loved the vibe in here, the restaurant was just dirty and service was slow. I love how this restaurant is very open, and that you can feel the breeze. The location is perfect because it is right in the downtown area. It is a sport bar too. They didn't menus, which I didn't like. Everything was written down in a chalk board that was up at the front of where we sat. The waitress wasn't that nice either about telling us about this. Our table was also dirty, but that's expected at an open restaurant next to the water. I got the burger and it was good! It didn't come with fries, so that was its own order. Love the location and vibe, they just need to work on their menu and cleanliness.
Depends on what you're looking for in food. Atmosphere is typical for the beach if you want to eat in a hot restaurant with not much air circulating. Service was good. As for food, not many items to choose from on the menu. I had shrimp tacos which were really spicy. The other guests had mahi mahi sandwiches that they said were good.
We were there on a chilly Wednesday evening in February, but there are heaters inside to keep you warm. Our waitress (and trainee) were great! Shared all the specials and made recommendations. I went with the grouper bites (which are actually fillets) and hubby had the Mahi Tacos. We shared a side of fries which were crispy and well seasoned. Both the bites and tacos were delicious.
Wanted a chill weekend so stopped by The Blind Tiger and was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were well-balanced, not watered down or overly sweet, just right. The food was tasty and priced fairly for what you get. They had live music playing in the afternoon, which added a nice vibe. They have a walk-up bar, and the wait wasn't long at all. Service was fine, laid-back and a little casual, but still attentive when needed. The only downside was the bathroom, which could use some attention. Overall though, it's a great spot to hang out, grab a good drink, and enjoy the atmosphere. Would definitely go back.
Came here on a Saturday because I heard really great things. Sat outside - there are umbrellas at each table but the sun moves so half of the table was sweltering hot. Luckily some people moved and we grabbed their table in the shade. The spicy ranch water is delicious- too good!! The wings were good - interesting sweet chili sauce - similar to Thai sweet and sour sauce in a way. The blackened fish tacos were dry, the sauce was good - just needed more of it on the fish. The loaded fries were good - very salt though. I don't mind bc I like salt when I drink, but it was a lot.
Fun place! Great drinks and food! All part of the experience of Bay St. Louis. We were there for New Year's Eve celebrations.
This place is amazing!! Our whole family loves this place. The food is phenomenal literally every time we show up, this place is on point!! Staff is amazing! Great service!! The beach ambiance is so relaxing and refreshing!!
After dining here last weekend, I immediately understood two things: 1) the universal appeal of this place; and 2) why Yelp reviews urge people not to eat here, only drink. We started with Bushwhackers while we waited for a table, since they are known for them. Around $15 each, but a generous size. You have to drink them pretty fast, though, before they turn into a puddle. We were seated upstairs which was what we had hoped for. No AC anywhere but there's a slight breeze and everything is open air. We were seated on the street side, next to the restrooms, which was fun for people watching. Service was great at both the bar and the table. They are very attentive as they are trying to turn tables over quickly. We started with the spicy tuna stuffed avocado, which sounded much better than it looked or tasted. The main problem is that it was served at room temperature, which in a place with no AC was quite warm. There was a little mixed salad with it. Eating warm lettuce and warm tuna dip is beyond unappealing. My husband got the mahi tacos, which he said were okay. He was really hungry so he ate them all. We also ordered a side of fries for $9. I got the chicken sandwich, $14, which was extremely overcooked and was topped with a weird brown glaze that appeared to be the same glaze on the mahi tacos. It was easily the worst chicken sandwich I have ever had. I did not finish it. A side note- this place uses only plastic silverware. Which is already terrible enough for the environment, but then between the appetizer and our mains, they took away our plastic silverware and brought us new plastic silverware. All I could think about was how much plastic waste is happening at that place. I implore you, if anyone ever reads this, to please switch to actual silverware.
The smoked tuna appetizer was very good and my mahi mahi tacos were delicious. Friendly service.

The food is wildly overpriced. The cheese fries are not cheese fries. They're luke warm fries with a bit of shredded cheese, not even fully melted. You're getting two tacos and they charge 16$? No sides. The drinks were also very weak. Overall four tacos, 2 drinks, and some "cheese" fries were over 70$? Highway robbery. Couldn't even choke down the fries. My daughter refused her tacos. The mahi mahi is SO dry. Stuck in your throat dry. The only enjoyable item was the shrimp I picked out of her taco. Even the tortillas used are disappointing. Truly wasted my money here. Just NOT good at all. read more

The food was good but they ran out of my favorite crawfish. I came from out of town and was immediately taken away by the location and the harbor beach and the nearby boats. The service was good. I was only sad because I didn't try the crawfish. Nevertheless the drinks were good and the company was great. read more

Beat bushwacker in town! Tastes just like the one from floribama. Servers were nice. Great vibe at this bar. The food is nice and fresh which you don't always get from a dive style beach bar. Really loved it. I'm writing this review on my way back to BSL and I'm looking forward to that first sip feeling read more

Simple menu, great food, great service, beautiful view! Knew we wanted a waterfront view on our drive to Biloxi, and as we drove down Bay St. Louis' Beach Blvd, I was drawn in by all the colors of The Blind Tiger. Plus, we're LSU fans, so we had to choose the option with a Tiger in the name. read more
I spent a day working in Bay St. Louis on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and decided to have lunch in this charming little establishment. The waitress was super nice and very friendly. It was nice that I wasn't pressured and could take my time to make a great decision for lunch. The entire menu (mostly seafood) was written on a blackboard which was affixed to the wall. I sat at the bar near the window which had a really great view of the marina, and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. I am allergic to seafood, so I went with the burger. Kind of seemed like a no-brainer, but there were other non-seafood options. I asked for my burger to be grilled medium rare and added bacon to it. I was a little bummed they didn't have A-1 sauce, as it's kind of become my go-to choice for a burger topping. I chose to forego the fries, as everything is Ala Carte, and is charged separately. Also, I'm trying to limit my carb intake a little bit, so the fries were kind of a non starter at the moment. The burger arrived quickly and was cooked to perfection, though the meat could have been seasoned a little more. It was quite large, as you can see from the picture, and my waitress never let my drink dip below three quarters, so I definitely did not leave thirsty. The Blind Tiger was an exceptionally great dining experience, and I look forward to returning there and trying some other options, served by their professional wait staff. read more

Great spot when the weather is nice, right on the water. Their bartenders are fun and attentive and we appreciated the service. I've tried their tacos a few times now and their shrimp is my go to. This is the happy hour spot to be at in the Bay read more

Great location right on the bay. Walking distance to local shops and other things. The food was good and we enjoyed all of it. The smoked tuna dip was awesome! The menu is small though that's the only downside and I think it changes often. Which can be good or bad depending on if you have picky eaters in the group! read more
Looks like a run down beach bar but the Royal Reds are AMAZING. At $23 for a pound, you get a boat of potatoes, corn and royal red shrimp that are large and closer to lobster in taste than typical shrimp. Enough food for 2-3 people. If you want a salad or gluten free anything, this is not the place for you. If you want a large selection to choose from, ths is not the place for you. It does have a chicken sandwich, burger, loaded fries, red fish sandwich and a smoked tuna dip along with a few other appetizer-type food. They also had a 3 pound crawfish special one night when we were there for $18. If you want a bar with picnic tables for seating overlooking the boat docks, menus on chalk boards, decently priced drinks/beer, plastic wear and papertowls for napkins you will love this place! if not, you won't. For kids, there was a kids menu but limited and a giant sand box for the kids to play. Staff was great! Even gave us some recommendations for other places to try during out stay. read more

My sister and I walked into this place and were immediately greeted by the bartender. Very friendly place with a cool beach vibe. My oyster tacos were delicious! Our waitress, Smiley, was precious and certainly lived up to her name. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. If you're ever in Bay St. Louis, go! read more
This very casual bar/restaurant on the water's edge in Bay St. Louis has really surprisingly good food! I went for the drinks (which are great) but left with memories of the best Fried Redfish Sandwich I think I've ever had. Honestly, it was so good I found time to have it two more times before I left BSL. The staff is friendly and efficient and made our visit a lot of fun, too. Can't wait to go back! read more

The service was EXCELLENT. The food... not so much. My son ordered the Santa Fe chicken sandwich which was just ok. Nothing special. Hubby got the Cantina shrimp tacos. Way too sweet! They should've been called the candied shrimp tacos. My daughter and I both got the 1 lb Royal Reds... we were so excited for these!!! Until we got them. Sad to say, they were swimming in a sauce that tasted like sea water, it was that salty. We had to peel (which is fine) and clean (not ok. No one wants to clean poop out of their own shrimp) our shrimp, but the potatoes were cooked well and were the saving grace from the salt licks in the bottom of our boats. Way overpriced and my Coastal Mule (their version of a Moscow Mule), tasted like bubble water with a hint of ginger. Disappointing. The Mermaid water was good though! The music playing clashed with the music someone was playing in the back that seemed to come from their phone definitely making it a less than pleasant dinning experience. It's never a great sign when you walk in and see a guest table being used as a utensils prep station. The bathroom was dirty and the door handle to it was greasy and disgusting. Not the best first impression. We definitely won't be back. Only left 1 star because our server (Haley) was amazing! No read more
