Pleasant's BBQ

Pleasant's BBQ, Ocean Springs

 Ewingjr98 Says:  For a taste of good local BBQ, try Pleasant's in Ocean Springs. We used to come here for their outstanding ribs to go. This is definitely a local favorite with a great following. Not many tourists stop here, but that's a good thing. Their foods are dirt cheap: $7.25 for a...

Burger King: Still there after the Hurricanes, Ocean Springs

 grandmaR Says:  After we saw the Biloxi lighthouse, we looked for a place to eat. We had to go across the bridge to Ocean Springs to find a place to eat. under construction 

Master Grill: Don't eat here!

Master Grill: Don't eat here!, Ocean Springs

 geophd Says:  the restaurant was full of smoke and the non-smoking section is separated by a booth. As our food was delivered a roach crawled on the table. I may be new to the south, but this is unacceptable! 

Master Grill

Master Grill, Ocean Springs

 Ewingjr98 Says:  I only stopped here once and this was really just a below average roadside stop in Ocean Springs. Prices are low, but so is the food quality. Not much character...about the same as hundreds of other roadside grills in America. 

Aunt Jenny's

Aunt Jenny's, Ocean Springs

 Ewingjr98 Says:  Probably my favorite restaurant in the Biloxi/Ocean Springs area, Aunt Jenny's keeps it simple. All-you-can-eat catfish ($9.75), fried chicken ($8.45), or shrimp ($11.95) with sides are the main staples. There are a few other meals you can try, but I don't recommend it! The...

 bdbrewer Says:  I wanted to take even more pictures as the sunset got more brilliant. But, guess what? I had taken so many pictures during the day, the battery ran out of power on my digital camera. Bummer! I managed to get 3 or 4 before the camera completely died, however.
