    I tried this with my father and grandmother. The owner was the one who served us and she was such a sweetheart. The Ruben sandwich tasted really good and what you'd expect. The roast beef poboy had very flavorful gravy. The fruit tea was very sweet and refreshing. Definitely going to become a regular here.

    Saturday morning the week before Christmas...they were BUSY! But, as always, we received great service. I ordered blueberry pancakes with the deluxe breakfast. They offer to put the berries in or on the pancakes. They also have sugar free syrup if that's a thing for you as it is for me. Our food is always fresh and hot and that includes the decaf, which again, is not always available everywhere you go. This is our go-to place for breakfast when I visit Gulfport. Even though it's in Long Beach, it's just a short drive away and worth it. Their beachy decor and fish outside are fun and inviting and for us, we value their appreciation for military veterans.

    Great food and service. We also had the Vietnamese coffee and it was delicious. Our second time in when traveling from Nashville. Planning to try lunch tomorrow.

    the pathetic catfish on a hamburger bun.

    I was here last year, and the fish special was great, but this year I unfortunately ordered the catfish sandwich. $8.95 and NOT worth it for a couple small chunks of fish on a hamburger bun. So disappointing. $2.95 was fine for some sweet potato fries that were good. And of course, iced tea is NOT worth $3.50. Ridiculous. Almost everyone charges too much for non-alcoholic drinks, so they joined the club. $16.48 before tip (the service was good) and I left hungry. You can go there for some good food, but the catfish sandwich should be avoided.

    Interior with that Key West-ey type vibe.

    Good breakfast place!! There was a nice water feature in the parking lot with a tortoise in it and lots of koi, made for a nice calming place before either heading in or getting back in your car. Pancakes were good and fluffy. Eggs cooked as ordered and special requests honored (extra crispy bacon requested by 2 of our party). Sausage gravy was good, lightly seasoned but I like mine with lots of pepper - easily remedied, I just added some more pepper!! Table had some stickiness from previous people's syrup so that's why the -1 star. But I'd definitely come back to this place for breakfast!!

    We'd had enough of hotel free breakfasts and let Yelp lead the way. It pointed to this little spot a few miles away nestled in the trees away from the coast by a mile or two or three. It is easy to find on the road with a large friendly sign. Being the Vet I am, I appreciated the US Flag and the POW/MIA flag out front. The parking lot is huge and there is a rock/water garden feature on the border of the lot with some faux water fowl. The little kid in me want to go play in it. On the way in, there is a historical reference to the sign that was all that was left of the previous building that was destroyed by Katrina. My photo didn't do it justice, so you'll have to see it for your self. Inside, it has a friendly feel of fish, sea creatures and nets hanging on the walls. The island partitions between the booths has floral and plants decorating the top. The dining room was light from all of the windows, airy and friendly feeling. Kind of a sea themed grandma's house feel. I love it! The menu was impressive and the breakfast had the essentials. I ordered the Deluxe with 2 over easy eggs, hash browns with onions, bacon and 2 pancakes plus an iced tea. Our server, Sara, was very professional. She went out of her way to look after her customers I observed (to include us). The order was out in no time. The tea wasn't watered down. The eggs were correctly prepared and tasted fresh. The hash browns were the best ever as the onion was just enough to flavor but not to over power. (Thank you Sara for suggesting that!) The bacon was good and crispy. The pancakes had a golden brown crispness but were fluffy on the inside. The cost was extremely reasonable for great service and super tasting food! if in the area, give this place a try! As for COVID, this place was practicing current guidelines with masks enforced and tables spaced. Tables were getting sanitized.

    Breakfast was very good

    Phenomenal experience here; we were seated as soon as we walked in, the menu was expansive with so…read moremany delicious-sounding seafood options, the waiter was BEYOND kind and friendly, and my toddler really enjoyed all the aquatic artwork on the walls. We ordered blackened mahi mahi, side salads, Yum Yum bread, and a seafood special which was blackened trout served over pasta with a shrimp seafood cream sauce. Everything was excellent!! The blackening on the fish was so delicious, the Yum Yum bread was so light and fluffy and crusty and fresh. I also ordered a Marina margarita which had pineapple and lime juices. The margarita was delightful although I didn't taste or feel much alcohol. I would still order it again because it was so tasty and refreshing. Great service, could not have been happier. The kids menu was also nice! My son had chicken tenders, chips, and a strawberry smoothie. Total for 3 of us was $96 pre-tip.

    We decided to revisit Steve's Marina recently and ordered our usual dishes, which were as good as…read morewe can remember. This time we sat out on the back balcony overlooking the harbor and got to watch the sunset and people out fishing and throwing cast nets. The view was great, but the chairs were flimsy and uncomfortable. For starters, we got the smoked tuna dip which comes with a generous portion of dip and a bunch of tortilla chips. We loved the dip itself but the chips were too brittle to scoop up the dip though a spoon was included. I had the blackened shrimp, which comes with this sweetened sauce that really sets off the flavor. They are not spicy, so don't let the blackened part scare you. Also included was a bit of somewhat dry pasta which goes well to lap up all the flavors left on the plate, and a small side salad. My wife had the redfish which came with a very large filet and more of the same basic pasta side. Steve's Marina is consistently good and the harbor view is always welcome, plus the service was quick and friendly, but I will say that they are overpriced for what you get. My wife and I shared an appetizer, had two entrees, and tea to drink - no alcohol or dessert. The bill total, after a normal tip, was over $100. I feel like you can get more for your money elsewhere because this just isn't a hundred dollar meal kind of place.

They have bar seating up to large tables for bigger groups. There's plenty of parking in their lot out front and to the side of the building. Daddyz isn't fancy. Don't come here if you're seeking mimosas and avocado toast. But if you want THE BEST breakfast at the BEST price: this is where to come. They have incredible biscuits and gravy. They make huge delectable omelets. They have a great kids menu and the prices can't be beat. They even offer a military discount on Saturdays. My littlest is obsessed with their apple butter and we are obsessed with the experience. We LOVE the staff. We usually have the same server and she is FANTASTIC.

Somehow I forgot to take a picture of my patty melt (which) I made a double. It came with grilled onions which were perfectly caramelized. We also had a catfish poboy and the catfish is probably the best so far that I've had on the MS coast and the poboy is overstuffed! I feel like they don't do that anymore. The onion rings are hand battered and only complain it wish it came with more. We came right before a rush and it seemed like only on person was running the front (cashier and waiting). It was fine until it got busy but nothing horrible. Give it a visit! I'll be back in the future.
