    Looks a little daunting from the outside, there were few cars in the parking lot and a sign that said don't feed the alligators but the reviews were good so we went in. Casey was great, chit chatted, shared that alligators like Cheetos, then introduced Pedro the one eyed gator. Quite interesting. Food was good too! If we travel through that area again, we will stop.

    Weekend special hog wild burger
    Madison M.

    Turtle landing is absolutely fantastic! My husband, brother in-law, and myself included all agreed that the hamburgers we had were some of the best burgers we've had in years. The fried mushrooms were absolutely massive and delicious dipped in the ranch they served them with. Definitely a go to if your a mushroom lover like we are. Walking in it felt like home and the boss lady ,as my husband has dubbed her, really made you feel like you were family. Ready to go back and enjoy some more good food and drinks soon! 100/10 absolutely recommend

    Several reviews mentioned that the burger was great. That is an understatement! We're on the return legs of a 3 1/2 month motor home trip, having started in Tucson AZ and all the way to the Carolinas. I've eaten a few burgers on this trip and I'm not exaggerating when I say this burger is the BEST in the nation. Drive in Diners and Dives, get out here! Janyne is the owner and cook and she knows what she's doing. From the first bite, I knew I was going to eat it all, which I seldom do. When I was finished, my tastebuds were begging for more. The locals were some of the friendliest people I've ever met. The service and friendliness of the server, Janyne's granddaughter Casey added to the fun, especially when she took us to the back deck and called the alligator. I don't think I've ever met anyone who was as knowledgeable about gators! Memorable experience. Thank you all at Turtle Landing!

    Great find! This place has great food and wonderful service at a very economical price. The food will surprise you as to how good it is. Cold beer and pool tables with a nice outdoor deck and boat up dock. The patrons of the place are the friendliest folks.

    Turtle Creek Bar and Grill.

    Excellent food! Great atmosphere! Pool table inside with plenty of tvs and nice staff. Lots of outdoor covered seating if you're bringing the whole crew. Don't let the rough exterior fool you! We drove in to visit the Science center and left hungry. Located Turtle Landing on Maps and saw the great reviews. No lie, best dive bar we've found.

    Turtle Landing with "Uncle Dave"
    SD V.

    My family, friend and I were in New Orleans on vacation and took a private tour with "Uncle Dave." He took us across the state line into Mississippi and to Turtle Landing. He said that this was a place where we could mingle with the locals. The place overlooks a small body of water with vegetation, a couple of fishing boats...very pretty. We saw an alligator swimming around as well. Uncle Dave's family was there, playing pool and just hanging out. It was very laid back. The people were very nice and very friendly. I had sweet tea and the best po' boy ever- a dressed up soft shell crab po' boy. It was so good and I told the lady (owner maybe?) that it was the best meal I had had on the trip so far.

    This place was great! When you first get there you might feel a little trepidation, I promise it will be okay, you are going through the correct door, your eyes will adjust to the darkness in the bar/grill. The staff are sweethearts. The natives are friendly and funny. They will poke at you a bit, if you tease back you are in for a lot of fun, especially if you are a Yankee (anyone from above i10). The food was great, cooked to perfection, large portions and there is even bacon on the house salad. The meat was moist, the ingredients were fresh and everything came to the table hot. We might stay in Pearlington long enough to do lunch There is a juke box with a variety of music...not all up to date but a lot of fun selections. (Our first real ribbing was when a local played vanilla ice in honor of our visit!) There is a pool table, it's a dollar a game. Stop in to have a beer, a homemade burger or dinner and enjoy the company.

    Beautiful view from the outdoor seating! So relaxing!

    I'd highly recommend coming here! Especially as an out of stater I've seen things here that I will never forget. The gator watching is real and fantastic (granted only a few but really how many do you need?!), and the burgers are amazing. Surprisingly the deep fried pickles and mushrooms are not greasy at all and the waitress was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

    Awesome lunch we were headed to Mississippi and took the scenic route. This is a true hole in the wall but delicious with a water view porch and the staff could not have been nicer. 2 sandwiches, 2 beers and an app under $25, you can't beat the price!

For reference I've had acme, Dragos, superior seafood, New Orleans food and spirits. The fried green tomatoes were perfectly fried with boiled shrimp and a cucumber salad and remolaude on top. WOW! The shrimp were a party in my mouth. The bread pudding was also arguably the best in the area. Slightly firm, but incredibly moist, topped with cream and apple slices. Also, Natalie went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal. We'll go back often and ask for her. I do also appreciate restaurants were it seems there are working together to and sure customers have what they need The only downside was the bar tender didn't offer smiles. She had a very firm and unwelcoming look that didn't seem to go with the rest of the culture.

Key deserves a huge shout out for being such a sweet and attentive server. I liked her tremendously. We had the boudin egg rolls and the Swamp Tour Sampler: jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, gumbo, and red beans and rice. For dessert, we had bread pudding with beignets. The Boudin egg rolls were the best thing I ate on my entire trip. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly crispy, every bite was heaven. The jambalaya was the best jambalaya I had on my trip as well. It had a fantastic smokiness and was not wet at all. I also loved the crawfish étouffée. It was creamy and loaded. The red beans and rice had a bit of a sweet edge that was not quite my taste. Try for yourself. The bread pudding was the perfect sendoff. Bite-size beignets were nestled in the bread pudding. It was a sweet, creamy, perfectly Mississippi dessert. I loved Parrain's so much that I bought a T-shirt. I generally don't like wearing clothes that serve as advertisements, but this place just has to be advertised all around the country.

We split a few things between the two of us. We had the tour of the swamp. The red beans and rice was really great. Not always my favorite when we go out but it really stood out. Very flavorful. The etouffee was great. Wish there was more crawfish but I always wish there was more. We all probably do with most dishes. lol. The jambalaya was really good. Well seasoned. Now my wife is picky about gumbo and is a hard judge to please. I am a little more on the giving side and look at it from the perspective of "even a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work" point of view. A day with gumbo is generally a better day most days. The gumbo this day was not great. I have heard amazing things and I was not impressed. I will only mark off a star because everything else was so great. I hope it was just a bad day and we will hope for a better next time. And there will be a next time for sure. The shrimp po boy was slam packed with shrimp. Great bread and dressed well. The boudin eggrolls were fantastic. Sift and tender on the inside and crispy crunchy on the outside. Loved them.

We had no idea how right we were. The island was almost empty and the only people we encountered were state troopers sitting on the side waiting for some speeders. Further down into the island we had almost given up on the idea to have a "real" shrimp meal and turned around. Since it was time for a "natural" break we stopped at several places but they were all closed - except for one. When we drove on the parking lot a lady came out waving at us and asking us to come in. It was in fact the ONLY place that was opened selling beverages on Christmas Day. However, food was provided for free by the residents that came together to celebrate Christmas and they invited us to join them for their Christmas meal. We had ham and turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing among many other things. What a great experience.

I don't know who's making it back there, but it is consistently good every single time. The customer service is another reason we love this place. The ladies are always kind, welcoming, and attentive. They bring your food out to the table, check on you to make sure you have everything you need, and are more than happy to pack your food to-go if you can't finish it.

Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for fresh, flavorful seafood and great service.
