On a whim, while looking for a really good burger place, we came across blowfly bar and Grill. Neither of us had ever been there. As fortune would have it the burger was the special of the day. I was told it was an excellent choice, the sides were amazing. We would return for more burgers soon. I had never had she crab soup and order a bowl of it with a side of fried okra? WOW the soup was amazing, filling, and hit the spot. The service was excellent, drinks kept full. We were checked on often, but not enough to have really noticed. The sign of an excellent waiter. The ambience as we overlooked Bayou Bernard, was really nice. We were there just the right time when it was not too busy, as we left more and more people entered and it seemed to get a little bit too noisy for my taste, but not my dining companions. Overall, I would highly recommend a trip to blowfly bar and grill when you were looking for something different read more

The food was good and the service was awesome especially since there was only one waitress but she didn't miss a beat. Cool quiet view. Clean and well lite. I would recommend the boudin balls they're fabulous as well as a blackened fish sandwich. read more

Blow Fly Bar and Grill - Seafood Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Really good place. It is super cute, and warm. This Gulfport staple has been on the list for a while. Overall good. It was a little slow, but packed for a Monday. We did the charcuterie board. It is a non-traditional on, and we mostly liked it. It needed chips for the crawfish dip. The she crab soup was great, the side or Brussel sprouts did not pick up the flavor like I hoped. The crawfish nachos were pretty good, as well. read more

Ordered the Bayou Board, She Crab Soup, & Seafood Pasta. The board has some excellent smoked sausage, boudin balls, but the star of the show is the chicken salad. The seafood pasta has a crème sauce that was very good with plenty of shrimp & crab. Our waitress was friendly & gave great service. The place is set up on the water which makes it a wonderful setting. All in all it is a great place to stop in for lunch or dinner. read more

New management is doing a great job. The family went to blowfly for Sunday brunch/lunch. First visit in 6-12 mos., and the last visit the food was okay at best and the service wasn't. Today we had the BV Board (a brunch charcuterie with bacon, French toast, deviled eggs, sausage, fruit, and cheeses), a burger, shrimp poboy, a chicken sandwich, a salad, she crab soup, and mimosas. Oh, and fried pickles. All were good. The shrimp poboy was very good - top 5-10 on the coast. The fried pickles are great - a fresh take on an old fave. See the pics - long slices instead of ovals. Son said chicken sandwich was great. And the BV board was a whole meal by itself. Server was fast, attentive, and very friendly! Great job! If you haven't been, or haven't been lately, head out to Blow Fly! read more

This a bit of nostalgia. Takes me back to just pull up in the boat and grab a drink or bite in the back bay... Drink responsibly. This establishment has been here, who knows how long? One the few restaurants you can just pull up by boat. Has a few slips you can still dock or traditional pull up in a vehicle. It has a large parking lot or large grass field if the parking lot is full. It is kinda hidden jem. It can be located in the neighborhood. Not off the main streets. When you pull up. Compared to the old restaurant. This is different in a good way but still retain its charm and flavors. The old one was just one story and kind small. The new one is way bigger. Now boasting two stories. Bigger restaurant. Plenty of outdoor dining and bar downstairs when the weather permits and open. Drink responsible...Up stairs has a larger patio area for dining outside and with a nice size indoor. Do not hold me to this, I believe the slips looks great hosting three slips. I am not sure if it was just two before or just a dock? Both look great and brand new with the patio deck. They have great handicap parking and access. No elevator at this time. They do offer traditional stairs access and wheelchair ramp. Maybe it is just me. The stairs seem a bit steep. I recommend taking the ramp to and from. Not too long but worth it in my opinion. The hostess was quick to accommodate us and quickly sat us down. Asked us if we preferred a tall or regular table. She sat us down near the bar at one the available tall table. The chairs are comfortable but not padding unless you sit down at the bar. They are the only ones I see with a bottom cushion. Normally, they are comfortable hardwood seats. By request, they do have a few limited seats with bottom cushions like the one at the bar if available. We had such a wonderful experience with our server Veronica! Such a pleasure to work with! She recommended that we start out with the fresh onion rings as an appetizer and took our drink order. She mentioned that this was renovated recently and under new management. You can definitely see that and so worth it. In my opinion. She came back with our drinks and asks what amazing things we like to have. We got the shrimp poboy (dressed) and come with fresh fries. And got the seafood platter with a sweet potato. If you do not request a side, she said they will default you fries instead. The ice water and fresh brewed sweet tea are great. Only downside is the paper straws. Tend to fall apart after a few minutes. Great, they are using less waste. But you may want to bring your own straw or request for another one if that one you have fails. Overall, the food was excellent. Personally never had a bad experience here over the years. They really hook you up with shrimp for the shrimp poboy. Wonderful food! Cannot wait to come back and get the blow fly burger! Takes me back... they do offer military discount and WiFi. I believe it is password protected? They do live music on Saturday. Most importantly, happy hour every day 2-5? Stop by if you are in the area. Well worth it! Was featured on triple D years back. I do not remember when tho. read more

Best daily specials ever. The price can't be beat. The quality and taste are amazing .

Went In on Saturday at 1:30- maybe 5 tables had people and they were all done eating. We waited over an hour for our food- a table of 2 came after us and finished their food before we were served. Bad 1st impression for sure. Burger was way overcooked and dry. read more

This place is wonderful! Coastal/Casual atmosphere and great food! When our family goes here for dinner, there's always something on the menu for everyone. Service is always friendly and courteous! read more

I wanted the shrimp and grits but was out so I settled for shrimp po boy and it was on point

My review isn't entirely fair but neither was us going out of our way to visit for trivia only to find out they hadn't hosted it in a month or two and failed to update their website. read more

Restaurant Review: Blow Fly In -- or rather, Fly Blow By... because you should keep driving. Our visit was an absolute disappointment from start to finish. I ordered the red beans and rice, which arrived lukewarm at best. We sent them back and didn't eat them--yet they still appeared on the bill. The shrimp and grits didn't fare much better. The dish was so dry it desperately needed a sauce just to make it edible. And I'm still confused about the teriyaki Brussels sprouts served as a side. Who pairs that with shrimp and grits? Actually--why are Brussels sprouts even on this menu? When it came time to pay, things somehow got worse. Their internet was down, and the staff expected cash. Cash transactions have drastically declined since COVID-19, and it's unreasonable to assume customers carry it. Overall? We definitely won't stop again. read more

While visiting friends in Mississippi, they took me here and I fell in love!!! The setting is gorgeous as you can see! There's outdoor and indoor seating options. The outdoor seating is shaded beautifully by an awning and natural trees. There's dual level seating as well. Easy accessibility to the upper level both with stairs and a ramp. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, as well as extremely attentive! Now... the FOOD! I got my first taste of boudin with their boudin balls. They were crispy, creamy inside and delicious! I loved the remoulad too! We got the last of the crab cakes for the day so they were on the smaller side, but the taste was huge! Fresh, flavorful, oceany, and delicious! Just enough crisp on the outside and perfect with a squeeze of lemon and the same remoulad! For my meal I had the chicken salad wrap & fries. I was a little surprised they served it warm. I typically think of chicken salad as cold and refreshing, but it was still yummy! My friends enjoyed their food too! I definitely want to come back next time! read more

The location is great, the staff ok but the food is bad. Could not even eat the chicken sandwich. Not worth the walk up the ramp.

The food, drinks and desserts are amazing Fresh food with no chemicals or preservatives The flounder was fresh, the whole fish with wonderful stuffing Fried shrimp was wonderful Wait staff amazing Best kept secret, a must go to read more

We went for lunch, one had the red beans and rice which tasted alright but the portion size was a lot smaller than expected. Beans and rice are pretty cheap and a small piece of sausage for $17! Another had the half of po boy and the she crab soup, which the soup was not good, I had a shrimp po boy which tasted great just not many shrimp in it. We decided not to go back again. Move on to other restaurants. The restaurant was not busy, only 2 or 3 other customers. Service was OK not great. read more

Very good burger and margaritas. Now open for dinner Every Night! Great views too.

Food was delicious you have to have the nachos!!!! The crawfish and crab cheese dip was delicious read more

We had a party of 4 ordered drinks & appetizers. Our server was the manager & we were initially sitting on patio till rain chased us inside. Our seafood nachos arrived and pitiful is kind for what they were. This is the MS Gulf Coast & to serve nachos with cheap sausage and canned crawfish that are half the size of English peas is just wrong. Awful &!terrible are kind descriptions of the nachos. The onion rings all 6 of them were good. I think our server was the manager, bartender, server and cook. Terrible service. Definitely not the same Blow Fly I remember. Definitely will not go back. read more

My husband's ribeye was seasoned perfectly, but the grits were overly heavy with cream and cheese, and the toast was stale. My chicken salad wrap lacked flavor--though the fries were good, the onions didn't match the Yelp photos. Overall, not worth returning. read more

24.00 for this, very disappointing. Asked for medium rare, got well done tuna the size of a hockey puck! read more

Blow Fly Bar and Grill - Seafood Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Nice place to have dinner, able to hear each others from across the table, great drinks, a true local spot . Smooth service too

I've been here a few times now and the service is great and you can't beat the view. Sit at the bar. Angela is the best bar tender ever. Food is amazing. Burger is always super juicy and the fries are consistently good. She crab soup is the best I've had. Banana pudding tastes like your Memaw made it. read more

The food was not good. We got the bayou nachos and there was not enough cheese sauce and th crawfish were hard. The cheeseburger had unmelted cheese and it fell off the burger. I also got the she crab soup and it just didn't taste good and had a lot of shell in it. Just wasn't as good as the ambiance. The atmosphere was very good. read more

We arrived at around 1pm and as I opened door to enter, a server nearly ran me over to get to guests seated outside. No hi, welcome, let me get the door for ya ... nothing. Then we stood inside waiting to be seated, and still no one. Long story short, we left. I live where hospitality is abundant here in the south, and if you have a local restaurant, you can't rest on your reputation. Always strive for success, and never forget that everyone is important. read more

It's definitely not the original quality food. Atmosphere is still great. They don't do the plastic flies on plate anymore. I recommend the fried green tomatoes with crawfish. read more

Great place. I had bot been there in 30 years. Still great! Food good and thf location is great. Not a fly by noght newcomer

We visited before the redo, and didn't care for it. So we decided to try it again to see what had changed. The waitress was very friendly and checked on us a lot. We had a nice view of the water. The place wasn't too crowded. I ordered the red beans and rice. It was so good! Food was served hot, and good portion size. I'm happy with the changes that were made. I would eat here again. read more

They need to go back to basics. I don't know everyone has to go fancy-schmancy. The original recipes were good. Like I said-what happened to the traditional Remoulade sauce. Everyone puts out Bang, Bang sauce and I'm tired of it. read more

Blow Fly Bar and Grill - Chicken Salad Wrap - Seafood Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Take 1 farm-raised catfish fillet, cut it in half vertically, then slice it horizontally, make strips and deep fry, and that's the platter serving size? No ma'am Pam! Tiny seafood portions for the price. Took my 3 kids (ages 6 and under) here. Ordered 1 burger, a catfish platter to share per the advice of the server, and a seafood platter. The burger meat looked frozen... I gave the kids my catfish platter. The kids were still very hungry after they ate the seafood from the platters and ate the subpar fries from the burger dish to supplement. I commented to the servers that I was very underwhelmed by the portion sizes. My feedback was dismissed. That's just not the way things are done where I'm from (New Orleans) & all the regions of the US I've lived. Clearly, patrons come here for the atmosphere/view; the seafood was subpar. I regretted not cooking at home. The 5 star reviews are misleading. Will NOT return due to entrees being priced disproportionately compared to the serving size. read more

Very nice upgrade to the inside! Modern yet still has that fantastic view! Food and service were 4/5. Food didn't "wow" us, but it was solid...making for a good lunch with family! The onion rings are worth mentioning: very light! We'd order again! read more

The food was fresh and delish! Service was a little slow but they were busy! View is gorgeous! Definitely worth the stop!

My family and I decided to dine while in the area tonight. As an appetizer we got Cajun egg rolls which was delicious and everyone loved it. I had the fish sandwich and She crab soup which was really good. I asked for tarter which was a nice combo. My daughter got a black and blue burger which was my favorite as I tried a bite. Probably one of the best burgers I've had and I've ate a lot of them. My youngest daughter got the chicken sandwich and I heard no complaints. The hubby got a pork chop and Brussels which he said was great! Service was awesome! They had a band on the patio that sounds amazing and alligators in the bay. Overall 5 stars and believe me my crew is hard to please. read more

Food was great so was the service had more than I could eat! Sea food platter was big enough for two and seafood gumbo was delisious
