The food was overcooked which made my shrimp tough and rubbery! My hush puppies were like rocks. My salad wasn't impressive. Overpriced food for nothing! read more

Simple and straightforward nothing fancy, if this is what you want then McElroy's should work. Had the fried shrimp platter, just a little spice in the batter, fries and hush puppies were simple and plenty. Service was great and the sunset view was perfect. read more

Our server Allen was great. The food was awesome fresh and seasoned perfectly. The view was spectacular

Location is pet near I thought. High up over the Marina with a view of both the Marina and the bay. Outside seating available for these views as well. First I ordered the oysters. A little more pricey than i thought they would be for where we were but I also caught them outside of the season. They were huge oysters. Probably the largest pieces of meat I've seen in an oyster. Came with crackers and the standard sides. I wouldn't say they were super delicious, there was very little juice in the shell so they were a little dry. Then ordered the shrimp scampi on a bed of pasta with a little garlic bread and sweet potato fries. Both were pretty good. Not spectacular, wow I have to go again lunch and dinner today and tomorrow, but not bad either. Ultimately would go again if invited by friends but would not probably actively seek it out on my own. read more

We were all pleased with our food. Was a little higher priced than I liked. Each person averaged $35. Our waitress was excellent. Dark haired lady. Very tentative but not in your face. How a waitress is suppose to be. The decor was mediocre. Little more imagination would bring it to the next level. Clean which is what was important. Music was pretty good. You'd feel comfortable dressed however. I'd take my friends here. ‍ read more

Please do yourself a favor and put McElroy's on your list of places to eat. To say the food is delicious is an understatement. Mathew R. was our waiter, and a cute one, at that. Made us feel right at home. The rest of the Staff, just as cute, and welcoming. It felt like we were at their home. You just feel the love. Many other restaurants were tried this trip, but McElroy's is #1! read more

One of the best breakfast places in town. Staff are always friendly and the ambiance is pure Mississippi. Dinner time is a wonderfully time to sit, relax on the balcony, and overlook the water. Their dinner menu is amazing! read more

We came here with 2 other family members. The 4 of us ordered the Seafood gumbo cup and bowl, we also ordered Crab cakes, a Crab po-boy, seafood delight and the snapper delight w/ crab. The gumbo was nice, hot and tasty. The bowl was huge. The poboy was good but as someone said, it's a sangawich. The Crab cakes were good. Some lump and good flavor. The seafood delight was very large and filling. Plenty of good stiff in there. Shrimp, fish, sauce etc. Nice mix and good taste. My blacken snapper was really fresh and full of flavor. The Crab was a nice touch and really complimented the fish. The sauce was nice also. Coleslaw was Sweet Southern style and the hush puppies but were nice. We ended our meal with a slice of chocolate oreo and a key lime pie. Our meal was fantastic. The service was great. We had a seat outside in the corner of the balcony. Great view. Great weather, which we ordered. Sea gulls behaved and didn't swoop down and steal out food. We really enjoyed everything. I think we would all recommend this place for a nice meal and great views. read more

Food was great. Ordered raw oysters ans fried crab craws. Oysters are fresh and clean. It was delicious! Crab craws were okay with the price. Great out door seating in the sun and beautiful water. Service was great too. Food cam e our fast and on my point! We enjoyed the dining experience and the decorations were pretty too. Came to Biloxi many times and always wanted to go there.

Killer spot right in the water. Great backstory and excellent views. Air conditioning spot on which is important in the swamp cooler that is Biloxi. There is no bad food here. We had a work dinner. Gumbo was top notch. Shrimp very nice. Blackened mahi mahi was well received. Key lime pie for dessert so you can't go wrong. No beer on draft if I have a complaint, but a solid selection of bottles and mixed drinks. read more

Delicious!!! The Shrimp & Grits were sooo good. I l I ke the way they prepared them firm like a cake which I've had before but I gave to say this dish would be in my top 10 gor sure. The elevated restaurant has a nice view of the Gulf. If in Biloxi I recommend you check it out. Staff is AWESOME too! read more

A tad under staffed, but the ones that were there were working hard, the beer and drinks were amazing and cold, and the food was delicious. We had boiled shrimp and they were a tad over cooked, however, this was not a deal breaker. The atmosphere was perfect and we sat outside and soaked up the ocean air. read more

Bad first impression! The front desk lady was mid conversation with one of the server as we walked in. She said hello and grab two utensils and walked away; I assumed we were being seated so we followed - maybe a verbal gesture of "please follow me" would clear the awkward feeling. We both ordered the crab meat po' boy with fries but I opted for the gumbo. The gumbo was delicious and generous on the shrimp. On the other hand, the crab meat po' boy was subpar. Meat had no texture just mushy. I couldn't distinctly taste the crab meat, it reminds me of canned spread with extra mayonnaise. The restaurant is on the bay next to armada of shrimp boats...lol. The view was also phenomenal with the option of dining in or outdoors overlooking the bay. With all the seafood restaurant options, am not sure if I'll ever return to give them another go. read more

Food was good and the service was exceptional. Enjoyed looking out at the shrimp boats going out.

Built in 1974 and still going strong! What a fantastic meal this evening! And Kim was the best server! Would highly recommend.

Ordered the red shrimp they were very good although there were a couple that were a little softer than the rest. It is definitely a food that you order and clean yourself lol, the drinks were delicious the view was beautiful and the wait staff was great. read more

Date night! This was a great choice! It was @4:30pm on a Friday night and not crowded at the time. We were given a choice of seating and we choose to be on the balcony. The sunset and views were so worth it!!! It did start to get a little chilly after sunset this time of year. We skipped appetizers since the meals seemed to be large enough. My husband had the harbor special platter, with blackened snapper, fries and a salad! It was all delish and the sauce on the fish with a squeeze of lemon he said Delicious ! I had the mahi-mahi with coleslaw and fried okra, the mahi-mahi was divine grilled, the okra fried to perfection, also a few hush puppies were also great! The coleslaw was ok, not bad but a little to creamy for my taste. Overall I highly recommend and would eat here again! Both meals and we drank water was @$55 before tip. read more

Our food was great. I had the blackened mahi mahi and my husband had the blackened shrimp for lunch. The views from the balcony are amazing. After lunch, we had a couple of medical issues. Jamie, Jennifer, and Cindy took such great care of us! They were amazing. One of them stayed with us the entire time. They were kind, reassuring, patient, and calm. They were such a huge blessing! We can't thank them enough. read more

Really enjoyed our stop for one last meal. Early lunch. Staff were friendly and welcoming. I tried the Royal Red dinner. Delicious. The sausage was excellent too. They whip their own butter! My cousins had shrimp poboys and gumbo and felt they were great. Prices seemed reasonable for location on the water and quantity of food. Wish we didn't have to rush off or that we discovered this place earlier. Nice experience. read more

We seem to go to McElroy's about once a year when we're in Biloxi. We both always get the same. Broiled Stuffed flounder. Really good! read more

Great spot. Good food. I had the crab cakes, oysters, and gumbo. Everything was great restaurant looked very casual for the menu prices. I feel like they're a little overpriced. I would pay that for the experience. Inside looked very outdated and casual. They have an outside sitting area which overlooks the water. Great view. Service was OK. Server forgot one of my appetizers and and my salad came out super late. I would probably only come back if restaurant was up to date. For those prices I would go across the street to half shell and get a better experience and food. read more

So, these guys have consolidated their former locations into a single spot at the marina in Biloxi. We had been meaning to try them for years but never got the chance until this past December. Their new location is very bare bones and feels temporary or maybe like it was a different sort of business that they were forced to suddenly move into. The interior is very dark and a bit dreary...drop ceilings with fluorescent lights...cheap metal chairs & tables like you'd find in the corner of a convenient store... That said, it was clean. The employees were all very polite and nice and accommodating. Even though we were one of the only tables in the place and it was less than an hour before closing on a cold storming Saturday night, they made it a point to stress that we didn't need to rush and could take as long as we liked. Likewise, the entire menu was available and every single thing every person ordered was prepared quickly, delivered to us hot, and it was obvious that every bit of seafood they'd cooked us was 100% fresh, 100% local, and 100% just like it's supposed to be! (And just like it used to be up and down the coast years ago!) The shrimp were all huge and properly deveined regardless of the type of shrimp or how you ordered them. The gumbo was good and tasted better than what you get from most New Orleans restaurants these days (and it wasn't that gooey tourist garbage most of the ones in the quarter serve that's made with canned Blue Runner 'gumbo base' (yuck!)!). The only dish that let us down a little was the crab claws as the basket wasn't that big for the price, the claws themselves were pretty small compared to other places, and they were a bit overcooked (probably because they were so tiny). That said, whilst they weren't great, they weren't terrible either. Overall, this place is a hidden gem when it comes to the food! If I were basing this review solely on the food and service, I'd be giving them 5 stars, but I'm dropping it down to 4 stars just because the atmosphere really really lets it down and is depressing enough to truly detract from the overall experience. Here's hoping the owners will invest a few thousand into their dining room to bring it up to the same level as their delicious food! read more

Great service and the food was so very good. Get the Key Lime Colada!! Views of the water.

We have been to this location, and to the former sister location in Ocean Springs a handful of times. Some of the extended family like it, so we continue to visit from time to time. This location is a bit run down. Considering the location among tourist row, I am surprised that they haven't given it a much needed face-lift. It is a bit dark and depressing, so don't head here for special occasions. The food is so-so. The gumbo is good, everything else kind of blah. On my last visit, I had the blackened gulf shrimp and fried okra. The okra was soggy and the shrimp was just okay. My son's dish had a bit of a fishy taste to it- not as in "yum, seafood!", but more like that old fish taste that makes you question what you are eating. All in all, not really worth a visit. read more

A friend recommended this place as the best gumbo on the coast so I had to try. The gumbo is very good. The cup portion is small and for 8$ would definitely not be worth it. However for lunch they did have a 1/2 poboy with gumbo for 12:50$. I ordered a blackened fish poboy. Most poboy breads are saturated with the sauce but this took it to the next level and the bread was not up for the challenge. I started eating immediately and the bread was already so soggy. The blackened fish had no flavor. So it honestly tasted like eating soggy bread with lettuce and tomatoes, with the occasional tarter sauce I added to mix it up the bread flavor. May still be worth a trip but I would stay away from the blackened fish poboy. read more

The red snapper was rubbery and hard to cut. The stuffing was also horrible and water taste like it came out of an hold garden hose.

While on a short vacation in Biloxi I did the....When in Rome...thing and ate as much seafood as I could. On my last day I decided to try McElroy's for raw oysters on the half shell. I'm really glad I did! They were the biggest juiciest and freshest oysters I've ever had. And I know they were fresh because there wasn't any hint of the fishy smell that I'm used to back home in Milwaukee. The Bloody Mary was also very good. I recommend taking the elevator when arriving and the stairs when leaving, to work off a little of the food. Next time I'm in Biloxi I won't hesitate to return to McElroy's Harbor House. read more

Went for a tween-meal at 2pm to cover late lunch/early dinner. No wait, plenty of tables. Greeter was super sweet. We were happy Outdoor seating was available - it was comfortable thanks to a nice breeze! We ordered flounder grilled with fries and salad, and mahi-mahi way blackened. Sadly both pieces of fish were very chewy. They weren't fishy tasting, so I'm curious if they were previously frozen. Portions were good sized. Fries had a cornmeal breading and were good. Fries pickles were awesome! Our server must be worn out, she seemed like in a big hurry to get our order and very short on stay and lacking enthusiasm. I almost felt like we were an annoyance just by showing up. But I'm going to cut her slack and say maybe due to none of us small biz owners having enough staff, she just might be worn out working a lot. Once we sat down there I recalled we had been there before a few years ago and it was decent. Today, fish left room for desire, more of a 3-star, server clearly tired and the rest was good. 5 stars for the friend pickles, the greeter and the woman who cashiered when we checked out read more

Food and wait staff were good. The full poor boy was enough for two. Sat by the window great view of the fishing bots and the water

The service was great! The food was horrible! The catfish isn't really catfish. The fried food was super greasy. The cole slaw was dry.
