10. Island View Buffet

We had dinner in the buffet after making a donation to the smoke-free Beach (South) casino. The wait was short and we were seated quickly. We received a friendly greeting and our drinks and headed off to check out the buffet. They have Asian, Southern, Italian, and carving station options. The southern station always had a line. They had many choices and just about everything I tried was fresh and tasty. The staff we interacted with was friendly and helpful. The desserts were also very good, especially the creamery with gelato. It was a good experience except for a screaming kid whose parent wouldn't remove them, but that could happen anywhere. Overall good value.

First great location right across from the Gulf and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. The staff was solid. I found the menu somewhat limited and the food was unremarkable. Good place for an appetizer and drinks with friends...but for a business dinner weâll try elsewhere in the future. Thank you very much for your feedback! We do appreciate your business and do hope that you change your mind in the future!

We had lunch here after it being recommended by coworkers. They are very fond of the seafood pasta, but we were in the mood for burgers. Great view while having lunch in a comfortable laid-back atmosphere. Service was very friendly and personable. The burgers were good sized and very tasty. The coleslaw was very good and worked great with my bacon cheeseburger! We'll be return customers.

No visit to the Mississippi Gulf Coast is complete without a meal at the White Cap. From the ice cold oysters on the half shell to the crawfish & corn bisque, the broiled scallops or the stuffed shrimp, everything is prepared fresh, and served hot. Bar service is available, and they are able to handle groups. Once you've been you'll want to make it a tradition!

I have had barbecue from KC, Memphis, Carolinas and Texas. Murky Waters Blues and BBQ is some of the best Iâve ever eaten. The chicken and brisket were stellar. I loved their sauces too. Iâll be back for more and Iâm bringing more people with me. The staff was great as well. Thank you!!

4. Beach Blvd Steamer

Our food was very good and the service was excellent on Sat. night, Aug. 10, 2019. The wood fired oysters were tasty and the house (Steamer) salad, with house dressing, was excellent. I had the broiled stuffed shrimp (6). The dressing was tasty and moist, as I like it. My two sides, the green beans and sweet potatoes were yummy. My husband enjoyed a tasty steak along with au gratin potatoes & green beans. The green beans are lightly steamed al dente, as I prefer them, not heavily cooked with ham. The key lime pie for desert was fabulous and large enough to share. Our waitress was Molly and she was excellent. She answered our questions and checked to be sure we had everything we needed. We were very impressed with all the team members from the hostesses to the servers who delivered our food. They definitely worked together as a professional team to give us a pleasant dining experience.

This Gulfport restaurant serves the freshest seafood specializing in oysters, shrimp, crab, fish and more. Try the Po Boy with Voodoo sauce for a spicy treat. Fast and friendly service which shows the staff are well trained noticing for example that your iced tea needs more ice even without asking.

I've eaten at the newly RE-opened White Pillars several time and Cat has been my server on both occasions. Highly recommend this restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the small plates are excellent. I love the farm-to-table concept and look forward to my next visit.
