Shaggys on the Beach Review Biloxi Mississippi
It was just a gleam in the founder’s eye – to turn an old bait shack in Pass Christian, MS into a food and beer joint.
Hurricane Katrina put his plans on hold for awhile, as it did all of us who lived in the area.
But, as he said “sometime later the sun starting shining again and it was time to get to work.”
And work he has, as in just over a decade there are now five Shaggys along the Gulf Coast. Each the same but unique it their own way. (Shaggys name is an homage to a coast joint from the 40s).
I hit the one on Biloxi beach, overlooking the shimmering blue Gulf of Mexico. Shaggy’s menu is typical of restaurants in the area, a mix of local seafood, prepared in various ways, along with appetizers and entrees of American cuisine one would expect to find in almost any casual eatery or bar. And that’s not a bad thing!
Fresh oysters and deep water Royal Red shrimp too! Thirsty? Of course Shaggys has all the usual ‘beach type’ drinks and some of their own special concoctions.
We had a drink, her a fru-fru umbrella thing, me a Stella. Split a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, before moving on to the seafood platter for two, 
grilled and fried shrimp, fried oysters, catfish filets. I didn’t share the catfish. I’m in my catfish period, for some reason.
The food was marvelous, and it’s fairly priced. The grilled shrimp has some pleasant seasoning, as did the fried pieces. Naturally there are the two local hot sauces on the table. When you live in or near New Orleans – which one is your preference can be fightin’ words.
Dining on the deck overlooking the bay is marvelous. The beach runs right up to the rear of Shaggys and there is a fenced in kiddy play area. Not sure about inside, but your four legged Scoobys are welcome on the deck at Shaggys. (See what I did there?).
Service by Becky was professional and friendly, despite it being a madhouse.
Check out the whole menu, plan a trip.
