Mary Mahoney's Old French House
Mississippi
Mary Mahoney's Old French House serves Gulf seafood in a historic Biloxi house and a New Orleans-style courtyard shaded by an old live oak. Its menu gives crabmeat, shrimp and local fish a prominent place, often in rich preparations associated with the restaurant. Signature dishes include Shrimp Imperial, with jumbo shrimp stuffed with crabmeat, and Sisters of the Sea au Gratin, pairing separate shrimp and crab preparations in cream sauce. Seafood gumbo, charbroiled oysters and whole broiled flounder offer other routes through the menu. Steaks and pork chops broaden the choices, while the courtyard provides an outdoor alternative to the house's dining rooms.
