⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Drove over an hour, with a reservation. Hostess was disinterested in accommodating. Wouldn't allow anyone to wait inside 5 minutes early. Made early patrons wait outside and it's 35 degrees. Did not seat us,so I cannot provide food review, because she said no seating was available. After making a reservation, the only way she agreed to seat us was outside, with temp outside of 35 degree weather. No thank you. Went to Salute Seafood & Italian Restaurant next door and had a great dining experience. Excellent Salmon Sardue.
