Saw this spot was on the way to our next road stop destination so decided to stop by to satisfy our seafood craving. Great decision! Definitely don't judge this spot by it's exterior as the food was legit. We each ordered a bowl of the gumbo (trust me, you won't want to share!), and shared the fried green tomatoes with crab (it's actually topped with blackened shrimp and the crab is mixed into a sauce the fried green tomatoes are topped with), fried shrimp platter (with fries), and fried fish platter (with onion rings). Everything we tried was so good! All the dishes had good flavorful and portion size was good, especially for the price. We had plenty leftover to take on the road with us! Service was super friendly, with our waitress checking on us fairly frequently. Parking may be a little tough during peak hours since they also share the lot with a motel. read more

Talk about a hidden gem...arrived here for a Saturday lunch on our way to somewhere else we had chosen for lunch. Had to make a u-turn, and seeing them right across from the u-turn, decided to give it a try. In the parking lot of a small local hotel with LOTS of pickup trucks in the parking lot (usually a good sign), we went. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seated immediately in a surprisingly spacious well lit, comfortable interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of tables already filled. Drink orders were taken and brought quickly. Took us much more than a minute to make a decision, but we had a very patient server. I opted for a cup of the Crab & Corn Bisque with a crab finger appetizer for my meal. Husband went with catfish plate with hush puppies, onion rings & baked macaroni. The bisque was unlike any other I have ever tasted; it was complex, lacking potato chunks (this is a good thing) and simply delicious! I could not put my finger on the difference, but man, it's a must try! Crab fingers were plentiful, cooked just right with lots of meat. Husband's catfish had good flavor, hush puppies were fine and onion rings were onion rings. I have to admit - I would have eaten a whole tray of that baked macaroni if someone let me. Portion sizes are perfect, lots of menu choices, quick check out, attentive service and a price tag of $60 with tax for our 2 drinks and meal. Will definitely frequent when in the area. read more

My husband and I were leaving from a cruise we came in NOLA and we were looking to buy live blue crabs so we stopped for gas and next to the gas station was this place. I thought it might sell live crabs but it didn't so we decided to eat there. Well we ordered the snow crabs legs which were $11 a pound so we ordered 4lbs between us and honey they were delicious! I wish this place was in Georgia read more

1000%. Everything was good. Grilled shrimp poboy was loaded up. The menu lists if seafood is local or imported. Love that. We also got some creamy pasta dish that had a crab cake, fried eggplant, and covered in grilled shrimp. That was the bomb. The crab cake seemingly had no bread crumbs. It was all crab and was delicious. Friendly, good service too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looks like they get a big dinner crowd so go early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Incredible meal and experience. Shoutout to Mary for the best service. Crawfish and oysters were outstanding. Crawfish were piping hot and seasoned well. Oysters were huge and cold, served with crackers and any sauce you could think of. Snapper was very tasty but would not get again over the crawfish or oysters. Eggplant napoleon was delicious as well as the crab cakes and noodles that came with it, and was huge. Could probably last for 3 or more meals. Sweet potato casserole was delicious, definitely more of a dessert. The turtle soup was the only thing that didn't stand out to me, but no complaints. So so good cannot wait to return. read more

We went two months ago and I gave it 5 stars. We went again yesterday and I was embarrassed to bring my grandchildren. My husband and I raved about how great it was when just he and I went. I don't know if it was a holiday weekend or what but other than the $8 shrimp poboy, it was not great. Who runs out of pasta when there are many pasta dishes on your menu. A store is right down the road. Don't have crabs on your menu if there are no crabs. Don't put mayo on a sandwich when they ask for no mayo and then scrap what shrimp is not left in the mayo into a new piece of bread and not add new ones to where you scraped the mayo ones off. Did you think we couldn't tell? The sandwich wasn't full. The macaroni and cheese which is your special was not even heated. It was scrapped out of the container it was made in and put in serving bowls. The cheese wasn't even melted. Again. It was embarrassing. I'm not sure now if we will be back. What happened in two months? read more

Quantity!! Lots of food, inexpensive, and tastes pretty damn good. Everything was cook properly, moist seafood with a nice crisp crust. Everything tasted fresh. For the entree we split the mixed seafood boat which is fried shrimp, oysters, fish, seasoned French fries and onions served in an entire loaf of fresh baked bread coated in butter. This item is a little pricey but could easily feed 4 people with leftovers. We also had the fried green tomatoes appetizer. I thought the large amount of sauce would possibly make the tomatoes soggy but they were nice and crispy. I think the tomatoes could stand on their own without all the sauce and other toppings, but overall pretty yummy. This portion was also huge! My biggest complaint was that the place could use a sprucing up. Fresh coat of paint and a scrubbing. Besides that, overall four stars. read more

Great value! I brought my family here - there might be a bit of a wait during busy lunch hour. Excellent prices for food and huge portions. Service is quick and no fuss.

Seafood was great. Service was great too! The fried shrimp had a good batter and a fresh taste. The crab cake was loaded with crab meat and had a great taste. They have a delicious crabmeat sauce on angel hair pasta topped with grilled shrimp. DELICIOUS! We will be back. Prices are good too! YUMMY, check out their menu. read more

This is the quintessential fresh seafood market and cafe. The staff is attentive and seafood is fresh and not fussy. In a word perfect. MacBe's is just off the interstate and nestled near road side motel but it offers fresh seafood at very reasonable prices. There are daily specials chalked on a board as you walk in and a nice menu covering all the basics from fried shrimp po boys to the popular crabby fries! They also sell boiled crawfish and fresh shrimp as well freezer items like gumbo crabs and seafood stuffed whole chickens. Don't let the outside of this gem fool you, take the exit you won't be disappointed. read more

Watch your plate, because when you look away they take your food before you can finish (without asking), they don't devein the popcorn shrimp, AND if you don't pay cash, you have to pay an additional 4% charge! Had to ask for more drink. And had to wait several minutes before we even got silverware after the food came out. (And don't expect everyone's plates to come put at the same time). Won't be back. Gave a compliment on the taste of the food with the manager, but my concern with paying for food that was taken before I could eat it and she was rude and "oh well" attitude.. read more

This place is right off of the exit on I10 and is proof you cannot judge a book by it's cover. It's a very down to earth store and cafe with the most delicious food and friendliest staff you will ever meet. We had a pound of crawfish that we demolished in no time, the biggest oysters we had ever seen, a very generous oyster salad with good lettuce that's not iceberg, thinking it's a spring mix and the absolute best seafood gumbo I ever had next to the one my friend cooked for me awhile back. The prices are extremely reasonable, wish we didn't live 5 hrs away or we would be regulars here. read more

probably the best seafood for the money in all of the coast of Mississippi the food is fantastic. It's fresh it's cooked daily. It's not microwaved and hands-down. They have the best fried green tomatoes in the whole south. Everything on their menu is fabulous. You can't go wrong with any of it, but I especially love their Macbe Seafood. read more

Our experience was slightly awkward and a little weird. Certainly there wasn't any way to establish a line of service. I'm not sure we had a server. Were we supposed to collect our food from the counter? Were we supposed to allow a server to pick it up and bring it to us. This is and will forever remain a mystery. I got up and went and delivered it to our table, myself. It was delicious. Everything was completely enjoyable and I really recommend this spot. But go for the food. The service is not part of the cost of sales. read more

Well that was an experience! I have never laughed so hard over a meal! We ordered 5 dozen oysters and they brought them out and we were like were are the crackers to eat with them and they said oh we don't have any crackers???

The food was delicious! The people were nice and welcoming. It was a pleasant pit stop for lunch. Our server, Mary, was just the sweetest and made us feel very comfortable. She even suggested that my son try the gumbo and brought out a cup before ordering to make sure he liked it. My family and I had the seafood pot pie, crab and corn bisque, grilled shrimp po boy, and turtle soup. If we lived nearby, we'd probably be regulars! read more

Food was good. Server was knowledgeable spirited and timely from start to finish. Apparent owner/mgr was not anything other than slightly smug. I will return for the food, probably not with clients though. It's mainly a seafood market so don't expect anything other than a casual place to sit and enjoy the fresh seafood. read more

I love a good hole in the wall. I do recommend this place. Nothing fancy about the place so don't come expecting that. Come with your family for a delicious meal. Seafood is fresh.

They are back! Yesterday my wife and I returned for the first time since the craziness of 2020. All three dishes we had were outstanding (as before 2020). We shared a cup of corn bisque, a fried catfish platter, and a platter of fried shrimp in alfredo sauce over angel hair pasta. Too much to eat and too good to leave. Total cost $33. We had plenty to bring home for another "super good" meal. Prices and some menue items have changed somewhat and a couple of our favorite wait staff had to find other work during the Covid business restrictions last year. Bottom Line is both "they and we" have returned for our "most favorite" seafood restaurant on the gulf coast! read more
