“ Well, how we found ourselves at The Chimneys again today is explained in my first review. Same song, second verse. This is such an elegant, white tablecloth venue overlooking the live oak adorned shoreline of the Mississippi Sound. Our experience today was made all the more exceptionally enjoyable thanks to our absolutely remarkable Welsh server, Ruthie. If we have ever enjoyed a more delightful, engaging and perfectly attentive server I cannot remember it. Pro Tip: ask for her! : ) I enjoyed an Old Fashioned and Miss Anne a Mimosa for starters. The Sunday Brunch/Lunch menu is a cornucopia of tantalizing offerings. Take a look at it on the website. I had intended to see what their gumbo is like here, but before we could even think twice about it Ruthie produced a cup of a crab and something or other chowder, "On me, see what you think", as she presented it. It was lovely. We decided to share the Trout 1640 with the goat and cheddar grits, and french green beans almandine sides. The dish came out separately plated by the kitchen (class kitchen touch). The dish overall was so very nice... a generous portion of crabmeat, four shrimp and a lovely sauce. The fish was over cooked and dry, but nonetheless tasty due to the excellent pané and sauce. These grits are world class and the haricot verts are prepared perfectly. The meal was complimented by glasses of the Jadot Pouille-Fuisse. Ruthie cracked me up when, without a word she snatched my iPhone off the table and fired four shots of us. LOL. Such an enjoyable dining experience today. ”

“ Easy to make reservations online. Although I did not need one. I sat on the patio for sunset it was beautiful. There are a lot of flies but, you're eating outdoors. I wouldn't expect anything else. The crab claws and the freshly baked bread were the best part. I got sautéed shrimp for my entree but it was the same sauce as the crab claws. So I wish I had gotten something else since I got the same thing different protein. Wine is reasonably priced for glasses as well. Overall good experience, nice servers, beautiful location. ”

“ Great spot for lunch... Decided to come down to the south to explore New Orleans and the beautiful beaches. Lots of amazing places to eat but this place is highly recommended. White tablecloth service fresh fish menu great food great prices you gotta try it. ”

“ I enjoyed the food and outside dining. I ordered the special which was grilled fish with vegetables. Great service and well prepared food. Very clean and great ambiance. ”

“ stopped in flor lunch today and enjoyed a great lunch at a very reasonable price. we sat outdoors and enjoyed the great view. chili shrimp and fried crab claws were enjoyed before the main course. gumbo, fish tacos and shrimp salad were all tasty. colton was our server and ensured our experience and meal was first rate! ”

“ Absolutely beautiful ambience, delicious food, delightful server, The Chimney is firing on all cylinders. And the lunchtime prices are on par with what fast food places are charging for a full meal. This restaurant just made my top five on the coast. ”

“ A++! Okay, so an odd review. Please indulge me. A few years ago, when my parents had their 50th wedding anniversary here, and the whole family loved it. It's such a great special place. So, when my son and his now wife were planning their wedding, not being from the coast, they decided to look here. Long story short, my son got married here. It's a great restaurant, and also a great venue for events. Great place. Super service. The staff was friendly, flexible, and professional. Delicious food. For the morning wedding, my DIL chose biscuits, scones, breakfast casserole, shrimp and grits, and spinach and artichoke dip. We also had Bloody Mary's, mimosas, and beer. It was all well done. Great vibe. Beach views. Pics under live oaks. My highest recommendation! ”

“ 10/10 on two visits now. I LOVE dining on this front porch! Far enough away from the roadway that you don't get the noise but close enough that you get the beautiful ocean view and the oaks are truly gorgeous. Now let's talk about the other stuff: perfectly convenient parking right behind the building which is nice. It's super easy to get reservations. Service is IMPECCABLE. And the food is TO DIE FOR. Tonight I had the special which was triple tail with crab and shrimp and a side salad and delicious steamed veggies. I could eat here everyday! The drink menu is also expansive and they have a lot of great choices! It's great to come here when in the area! I highly recommend it! ”

“ Finally tried The Chimneys. Waited 3 years and I wish we hadn't waited so long. I write my reviews and give stars based on the type of establishment. So I may give a dive bar a 5 star review as compared to other dive bars. That said, this 5 star review is for a 5 star dining experience. We went for lunch, and it was fantastic. Started with the lime martini (can't remember what it was called) and he had the Fashioned (not old). Both were excellent. Appetizer was the crab cakes to share, which were fantastic. Seafood Gumbo was the best we've ever had. Loaded with crab claws and shrimp, with a perfect dark roux that wasn't too salty, so lovely. My husband had the Godchaux salad, and he was in heaven- loaded with crab and shrimp and some anchovies for flavor. I had the special, snapper topped with crab and shrimp and a delicious Dijon sauce (not overpowering at all). Shout out to our server Colton. He was excellent. Perfectly timed our lunch experience. Lastly, the setting is just beautiful. This establishment has it all. Just go. ”

“ When visiting Gulfport, MS in late February of this year I had the opportunity to dine here. Looking back, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at The Chimneys. I ordered the special of the day for my dinner entree. I skipped dessert. From what I remember, they had a diversity of items to choose from for entrees. I love that this restaurant is an old historic home. I believe that this home served as a resource for women back in the day. The building itself has a nice "old soul" feel to it. Our waiter was great too. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely consider dining here again. I recommend checking out The Chimneys if you're ever visiting Gulfport or the surrounding communities. ”
