This was my daughter's first time eating oysters and she absolutely loved the grilled half dozen she ate. I got the seafood platter and devoured with gusto each of the items overflowing on the plate. I just love the seasoning they use on their fried food and all the restaurant made dressings and sauces. Come for the seafood and atmosphere, you surely won't be disappointed.
I believe that if someone asked me where I could get a nice Southern cooked Biloxi/Gulfport meal, I would send them here. They are right across from the Gulf and have outdoor tables as well as a great view through the windows inside. They shuck the oysters right here. I had red beans rice and catfish along with great tasting coleslaw. The catfish tasted extra fresh. Even the hush puppies that I don't normally enjoy were really good. I met the owner who was shucking the oysters for some customers. This place has been in his family since the early 1900s. Shrimp, crawfish, fish, red beans and rice, etc. I don't think you could find a better restaurant for Southern Mississippi cooking. And all of it at very reasonable prices. Sydney was our waitress and she did a fine job of taking care of us. Southern Hospitality and great food, MMM -mmm good.
Good spot, some friendly staff and good food. How much you have to add! Enjoyed my stay!
White Cap is one of my mother’s favorite restaurants and she took me there today for my birthday lunch. It was my first time and honestly I don’t know why! The exterior is nice, but the interior is very nice. The coastal and nautical decor is classy yet casual. You could dress up or dress down. It is a very clean restaurant with lovely views of the Gulf. The staff are very friendly and professional. Jeanviere was our server and we were 100% satisfied. Now for the most important part…THE FOOD. My mother thinks that their fried butterfly shrimp are the best and she orders them every time. Their hush puppies are big, homemade, and delicious. Anyone who visits this place should get an order of them! I ordered the blackened redfish with a seafood cream sauce and their special green beans as my side. I also had a cup of their crawfish and corn bisque. Everything was cooked to perfection. I will highly recommend this restaurant to all of my friends.
The grilled oysters were delicious. Got a side of parsley potatoes and they were nice and buttery. My wife enjoyed her steak. My mom got the fried scallops and said they were great. After sneaking one away from her plate, I'd have to agree! Service was good as well. We'll definitely be coming back next time we visit the coast.
We were referred to this place and so very glad that we are. Our server was friendly and full of information about the menu and offered suggestions based on our likes. She hit the nail on the head and we were happy about our choices. The food was fantastic. The drinks were good also. We would eat here again and soon I hope.
Omg sooo good. The charbroiled oysters were amazing. Get the bread pudding to finish the meal!!!!! The view isn't too bad either.
Amazing food and service! Our waitress Teresa was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations! Such a wonderful soul 🙏🏻 best grilled oysters🦪 and redfish I've ever had and my husbands beach burger was top notch.
We went during the late lunch hour and we were allowed to order from the lunch menu. The lunch came with a salad. I ordered the salad with homemade Thousand Island, which was very good. The timing of the lunch plate order to table was perfect. The sauce was very good. I ordered my dish with grilled shrimp. For the light eater, even the lunch plate was enough for two servings. We then tried the bread pudding, which had the perfect amount of alcohol. It was not overbearing. Yum! The chocolate cheesecake was heavenly: Wow! I had expected the standard cheesecake with chocolate flavor. I highly recommend this dessert. Upon arrival we had to wait to be seated, but the wait was only seconds. The waitress was being shadowed and both of these ladies were very pleasant. They made us feel like we were talking to a longtime friend. We never had to ask for drink refills; the staff is Awesome!
My family and I had such a great dinner at White Cap in Gulfport. The whole restaurant has that perfect coastal, seafood‑by‑the‑water vibe. It’s relaxed and we loved being able to enjoy the amazing view of the water even while eating inside, and the outdoor seating area looked just as inviting. The food was delicious, and everything tasted fresh. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy your meal, and take in the scenery. I want to give a special shoutout to our server Shannon. She was attentive and sweet throughout our entire meal. Her platter recommendations were spot‑on, and she took such great care of me and my family. Her kindness really made our visit memorable, and we truly appreciate her service. Overall, White Cap is definitely a spot I’d return to. It has great food, great views, and a team that makes you feel welcome.
