    It has been so long since I have visited Mary Mahoney’s but so glad we stopped in for our anniversary dinner!! Food was delicious and has me ready to go back again!! Best dinner we’ve had in a while! The shrimp imperial all the way to the crab claw were perfect!! They don’t skimp on the lump crabmeat for sure! Oh and dessert definitely try the parfait that is layered with ice cream, caramel sauce and praline pecans! Ask for Sarah she was our favorite!!

    Our waiter was so attentive, I can’t remember his name but he’s in college over in Pearl River and played soccer there and plans on going on to old miss majoring in pre med. We never had to wait on anything and our cups were never empty a table of 7. Our food was absolutely Devine best seafood we’ve ate out in a while it was all domestic seafood and non of that foreign garbage and that means the world to us because my husband is a commercial fisherman.

    When we are in town we always eat dinner at the French House . Dinner was very good and the service was excellent. I wish they still served the Prime Rib you couldn't ask for a more delicious meal 10 stars.

    Food was fabulous and the Old Fashioned drinks were some of the best test. All the staff were very friendly and had the opportunity to meet Mr. Mahoney. True southern character. The overall decor was a walk through history from Hurricane Camille to Katrina and she’s still standing!!! Highly recommended!!!

    We went for lunch. Someone we met in town recommended getting a sandwich, but they didn’t even have any sandwiches on the menu. The salad was good and we sat outside in the courtyard which was pretty and peaceful.

    Mary Mahoney's was recommended to me by a friend. As I was staying right across the street at the Beau Rivage Hotel, I thought I'd give it a try for lunch. I am so glad that I did. I loved everything about the place including its outside courtyard. It has a number of small, charming dining rooms, each being quaint and cozy. The building has a fascinating history with the old house dating back to 1737. My food (grilled trout and broccoli) was tasty as was the warm bread with butter and the side salad served before the meal (the house chardonnay was also quite good). The service was outstanding ... warm, friendly and professional. And that made the entire dining experience one to remember. When I'm back in Biloxi, you can bet I'll make another visit to Mary Mahoney's.

    First. We love historical restaurants. Can’t get more historical than MM. has that old world charm. Our server, Dan, was superb. He has been there a long time and it shows he loves his job. He answered all our questions and guided us in making excellent choices. I don’t think there’s a bad dish on the menu. From steak to seafood, jumbo sized crabmeat on top of most dishes. It was all so good. Put it on your must do list for dining in Biloxi

    Service was ok. Food was very disappointing. My fish was overcooked and my wife’s soft shell crabs were very small and way overcooked. Salads and wine were the best parts of the meal. We are from the area and have eaten at M M often over the years. I now understand why there were very few folks eating in the restaurant that day. I know that there are many good restaurants on the coast. I hope you take this review as constructive criticism and get better.
