I stopped in at The Reef in Biloxi and had an awesome experience. Me and my friends kicked things off by sharing the fried pickles and the fried alligator--both came out hot, crispy, and seasoned just right. For my meal, I went with the dish in the photos, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were bold, everything tasted fresh, and the portions were solid. Great service, great view, and great food. Definitely a spot I'd come back to the next time I'm on the Coast. read more

The Reef is located right on the beach in Biloxi, and has been in business for several years. It is an excellent spot for lunch or dinner, has lots of seating indoors and out, and has a menu full of options for those who don't want seafood. It's also great for big groups. This is where my work takes new hires after hours just to hang out and get to know everyone. Vendors sometimes pick this spot for group outings, as well. It has plenty of parking and is very easy to find on Highway 90. We usually start with some grilled oysters or the smoked tuna dip appetizer, and both are excellent. The gator and pickles appetizer is also good when you have a big group because you get a lot. They have over a dozen starter options and I've tried most at some point, with no complaints. On my last visit, I got the shrimp and grits, and could not even finish it. You get a large bowl full of shrimp plus two grit cakes on top, and it's all in a cream sauce that is amazing. Shrimp and grits can be found at many coast restaurants and The Reef has one of the best. My wife ordered the teriyaki salmon bowl that includes mandarin oranges, and it's a much healthier option that she really enjoyed. In previous visits, I've had their catfish monica, which is very similar to the catfish supreme dish served at their sister restaurant called Salute down the beach in Gulfport. I've also had some of their pasta dishes and the seafood platter. It's all good. Definitely check The Reef out if you are in the area and want to try a locally owned spot that knows what they're doing. The portions are plenty and service has always been great. read more

Was unable to eat here. I have celiac disease and can't have gluten. Menu is napkin sized at hostess and was read off to me quickly. I then asked to take a photo. Server then told me they used a lot of butter in their food...trying to explain his gluten knowledge. No gluten in butter BTW. We walked next door where they do have a gluten free menu and my family felt safe. read more

Stopped here on a Sunday with the family and I wasn't expecting it to be the kind of place where the location is the main attraction and the food is mediocre. Surprising, that wasn't the case here. It definitely has touristy vibes as you have to walk through a gift shop to enter the dining area, but luckily the food made up for all of that. I got the catfish Monica and it was very good. The hamburger, chicken sandwich were also winners in our party. Service was very good. read more

all the food we got was just excellent! Generous proportions, hot and fresh. Our waitress Brandy was very sweet, knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful when we chose our entrées! definitely come back and recommend to friends! read more

Great food and excellent service. I got the catfish and shrimp basket. This came with fries. The shrimp are not huge. They are baby-sized shrimp, but this was not a big deal for me. It was well seasoned, and I enjoyed my meal. We arrived on a Tuesday night, the week of Thanksgiving. It was not full. We were immediately sat. We had a choice of inside or outside seating. We also had charbroiled oysters which were really good. My husband had the catfish sandwich, which he said was good. The coleslaw was good but for $1 I wish the serving was bigger. The major flaw that I have is that the alcoholic drinks had barely any alcohol in them. I was going to order the Cat 5 Hurricane like my husband, but after trying his, I decided not to. Ten dollars for juice was not worth it. So I settled for water. They need to work on adjusting the amount of alcohol in their drinks. But go for the food. read more

Stopped by The Reef while on Thanksgiving vacation to visit family and the night before Thanksgiving we stopped by the Reef to enjoy a meal that I was looking forward to since I really enjoy seafood. When walking in you enter through the gift shop with plenty of T-shirts and accessories and it wasn't to busy & we were seated promptly to our table. I ordered the catfish sandwich at fries, my wife had the seafood platter and my brother in law and his wife had the oysters and seafood platter. My sandwich was seasoned well and was prepared great. My meal was really good and everyone else enjoyed thiers as well and we also ordered drinks and ours didn't seem to have much if any alcohol in it so that was a bit of a let down but overall the experience was good and I'll definitely come back. read more

We went at a fabulous time. A Thursday at 130pm. We were maybe one of 8 tables in the place so we walked right in and got sat. We ordered a pina colada and it was horrible. They took it back and said they "hand made it" so it may have been off. The queso chicken is amazingly fresh , zesty and addictive. Husband got Mahi Mahi and a crab cake came with it. He loved both. The restaurant sits on the beach and has all the art on the outside front of building. It's a nice place. There are elevators if you can't make it up those steps. read more

Came to eat here after I ran a 5k. We sat on the deck, which had a great view! Our waiter was super friendly. The chips and salsa was a good appetizer. I also had the red beans and rice with the catfish. Very big portion sizes! The food was excellent! Would definitely come back! read more

Biggest oysters I've ever gotten anywhere, and for the money, well worth it. The food was 10/10- well seasoned and cooked to perfection. There was nothing left on our plate but wads of napkins from wiping the buttery shrimp and corn off our faces. read more

The view here is great but the food absolutely stole the show! I don't think I will ever stop thinking about the chargrilled New Orleans style oysters. They were so freaking good. The mahi mahi with mandarin pico was good but didn't compare to the oysters. Service was good and I would definitely recommend this place!

The food made me sick and every staff member I encountered asked me for a five star review and would not even let me order food until we gave it to them... It was basically harassment... Just go to Shaggys... This is a tourist trap... And all of their reviews come from them, pressuring guest to leave them before they can even order their food read more

They have a great new lunch menu, very affordable and nice view of the beach. We sat outside and it was nice

Nice ambiance. Service was great and staff was very helpful with great menu items. Shrimp n grits were great as recommended. Seafood Platter was good except the fries and catfish. The catfish tasted like they cut the mud vane and made the fish taste literally like dirt. Fries just weren't very good. I'd go back but stay away from the catfish. read more

We really enjoy the food at the reef! Everything is very fresh and well seasoned. Try their ranch...it's really good. We also love the tarter and the horseradish is nice and hot!! Very good service the couple times we have been and we love the ambiance being very "I'm at the beach" feel. Definitely worth a stop! Brittany was a great server and very friendly and gave good info about menu items. read more

Second floor was closed so we didn't eat at the restaurant. However, we went to the third floor, which is more of a bar. They do serve food there. We ordered the fried okra, gumbo, red beans and rice. My wife is a huge fried okra fan - and she said that was some of the best fried okra she's had in years. The gumbo and the red beans and rice were excellent. they both had a great amount of spice. Nothing overbearing. It is a little pricier than I expected, however, it is in the tourist area on the main strip. For as busy as they were, the staff was excellent. They are patient and professional - they make sure all needs are met and that your visit is the best. Couldn't see much because it was late at night when we were there, but it is located on the water off the main drag. I did see from the parking lot that there is a playground outside for kids. There's plenty of parking on site with easy access and exit. read more

This was spectacular from the second we showed up until we left. It's right on the water on the gulf coast and the view alone makes it worth stopping in. When you add a huge menu, cold drinks and world class food/seafood, you have a recipe for a great afternoon meal with friends. We were seated within a minute of walking through the door. We could choose from outside or inside. We opted to sit outside and watch and listen to the surf. I ordered a crab cake starter that was yummy and well made. Followed by a shrimp poboy sandwich and fries. Also excellent. My wife had the Mac daddy which was shrimp Mac and cheese augratin. It was excellent. I also had a frozen pina colada that really cooled me down. The entire meal and visit was just awesome. Cherry was our server and she was fast, efficient and knowledgeable of the menu and drink options. If you find yourself in Biloxi Mississippi, make sure to give this place a try. The food, atmosphere and service are first rate. read more

Hostess Service: I am sure you have a great restaurant but we wouldn't know. We came to have lunch 4/18 around 1130a for my husbands 70th bday. The car show was in the parking lot. We were told there would be a 20min wait. We went back downstairs to the parking lot to walk around the car show. When I checked my phone I noticed the text that our table was ready. When you we walked back upstairs the young lady said in a not so nice manner, I texted you twice, which she didn't, and you didn't make the 7min. deadline. I understand processes quite well. But we were prepared to wait as directed for at least 20min for a table, I thought it very inconsiderate that because we weren't able to run back within 7 minutes of the text, we were not able to be served. Thank goodness the other restaurants in the area were more accommodating. read more

A wonderful evening with great food and even better service, a thank you to Brandy. She was a great waitress and very personable with the menu selections. Apps (oysters and Beaudrou bread were well worth it). Dinner was another level with the flounder special, thanks again Brandy. Look forward to returning for another satisfying evening read more

Great seafood. Big portions . Wait staff was a bit slow but it was lunch time and they were busy.

Stumbled across this place when I was in Biloxi. It's a cool little spot that's next to the water if you happen to be taking a stroll in the area. It also didn't have a wait which is why we ended up here also. When visiting a location, I for sure have to try thing's I can't get back home. I ordered Shrimp & Crawfish Nachos, Boudreaux Bread, Fried Okra, Shrimp & Crawfish Mac & Cheese, and I believe Fried Alligator Pasta. These were all shareable items, not for me to eat to my self. Out of everything, I say the Boudreaux Bread was the best since it was just so buttery and filled with flavor. The only bad part about everything was that they all started to taste similar and started feeling heavy. We sat at the bar and it felt like a pretty standard restaurant bar but the main part is that you can get a view of the beach. Service was cool but I would say that this is an experience you'd only do if you wanted any of the food I recommended or you just happen to be in the area. read more

The food was delicious, our server was super nice and visited with us but not too much, and even though the shades were down we could still see the beach. It was lovely. The guy that checked us out in their little store could have had a little more personality but these days that's kinda the way it is. Would go back for sure! read more

Went back again!!! It was really good the first time - when we sat in the sky bar, this time, we ate in the restaurant- soooo worth the short 20 minute wait! We had the smoked tuna dip again! Best in the area! And I had the shrimp and grits! WOW it knocked my socks off! Perfectly seasoned and the grits cakes were heaven! My husband had the pasta with the fried alligator - which he said was good as well! Excellent service! The Reef has become our favorite little place on the beach! read more

I had 2 amazing catfish fillets, even though they were in a basket. I understand the finances and utility of basket meals, but I will never approve of them. I originally wanted a catfish po-boy. None were on the menu but wonderful waitress Kelsee said they could make one. The 2 tasty fillets were a better choice. There were plenty of tv's inside where I ate. There was also an outside deck for eating and 1 floor up, another bar eating area. Free parking. Elevator for old timers like me. (Another thing I don't like but find mostly in the South, extra charge for credit cards. I know it costs them a lot, but build it in to the food and don't look so cheap) I'll be back, and will ask for Kelsee. She was very attentive. read more

We had an absolute wonderful experience at The Reef tonight. The food was extraordinary. I had the Chicken Red Beans & Rice Wrap for $11. We ate up at the Sky Bar where the evening views are spectacular. Most importantly, the service was undeniably great. Rachel, our server, was attentive, punctual, and sweet as she could be. In fact, we had great conversation, which is refreshing in this day and age. I feel like I made a friend here, and will definitely recommend to ask for her to everyone I know. read more

I love the oysters catfish and gumbo and the prices are not bad at all. I will eat there every time I'm in Biloxi MS. Delicious

We got a recommendation to visit The Reef and it was amazing. The Boudreaux Bread was delicious and was good enough to stand on its own as a meal but we also tried the bacon wrapped pork filets that were outstanding. Our server was so attentive and kind every time she checked on us to make sure we had enough to drink or needed anything else. This is not your typical beach bar but still had a nice playful atmosphere that gave it a relaxed vibe. read more
