"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Chimneys Restaurant – Gulfport, Mississippi As a live caricature artist, I’ve had the pleasure of working at The Chimneys twice now — most recently during Cruisin’ the Coast. Imagine arriving for a wedding and discovering one of the biggest festivals of the year happening all around you! Thankfully, despite the crowds, I had no trouble getting to the venue. From the moment I arrived (an hour early), I could tell I was in for a treat. The staff was in full motion — at least 20 to 30 people buzzing around, perfectly organized, discussing service flow and setup. The professionalism was impressive. The venue itself is stunning: right across from the water, with twinkling string lights, a wraparound porch, and a spacious lawn where the DJ had guests dancing under the stars. There’s ample room both indoors and out, so even if weather doesn’t cooperate, the celebration can go on beautifully. What truly stood out, though, was the service. The team checked on me multiple times throughout the night — making sure I had water and even bringing me a full plate of food. I often include a vendor-meal clause in my contract, but they went above and beyond and offered me the same menu as the guests. I chose the filet, and it was hands-down the best vendor plate I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious — tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Between the gorgeous coastal setting, the white-glove service, and the incredible food, The Chimneys easily earns a perfect score from me. I’d happily return here for a special occasion — in fact, I’m already eyeing Valentine’s Day dinner! ✨ Service: 5/5 ✨ Atmosphere: 5/5 ✨ Food: 5/5 Highly recommend this gem for weddings, anniversaries, and any event where you want a truly memorable experience."

"Our new favorite restaurant on the coast! Our expectations were exceeded. Cozy, welcoming atmosphere and our server, Ruth, couldn't have been more attentive and professional. The filet I ordered was prepared perfectly. The shrimp was delicious, as was the chicken dish. And the warm bread was spot on. We can't wait to return and try the other menu items. Keep up the good work!"

"The Chimneys Restaurant was the perfect wedding reception venue! From start to finish, the team was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests and wishes. The setting is absolutely beautiful, the combination of indoor and outdoor spaces created the ideal backdrop for our celebration. Whether it was the charming interior or the stunning outdoor views, every part of the venue added to the magic of the day. The food was absolutely incredible, our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. The staff was professional, attentive, and made sure the entire event flowed seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our daughter and son-in-laws big day. If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty, amazing service, and unforgettable food, The Chimneys is it!"

"The place was highly recommended by a colleague on our business trip. This quaint and charming restaurant is beautifully located right across the beach front coast of Gulfport, Mississippi. For the appetizer, I ordered seafood eggplants. It's baked, had crispy toppings, creamy eggplants, and seafood on the inside. It tastes so good! For my main course, I ordered the triple tail special, lump crabs, and a wild rice on the side. It has a generous slice amount of fish perfectly cooked paired with the delicious creamy lump crabs on the top. The restaurant table setup was nice with fresh, colorful flowers on a flower base. The restaurant is clean with large windows for one to appreciate the wooded outside, and the view of the ocean front can be visible at the restaurant side porch . The service was good, and the price of food is affordable. I highly recommend this place."

"My family has frequented this restaurant many times over the years. It’s well worth the drive from Ocean Springs. I would venture to say The Chimney’s is the best restaurant on the MS Gulf Coast! The fried shrimp is one of my personal favorites, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu in my opinion."
