This is a great place to eat at in the Ocean Springs/Biloxi area. We stopped here for one night and thought we would get some catfish someplace. We found this place and were very satisfied. They cooked the food just as you aked. It is in an old plantation house right on the boyou. If we are ever in this... More

We started with fried southern catfish at Blues City Cafe, Memphis, TN and after that nothing compared. This catfish was dry and not as tasty. It is a nice place, converted Victorian home sitting off the water with a magnificent view. Wish the fish was a good as the view.

The food was great! I wouldn't order the all you can eat because they give you so much food with the regular order, it's more than enough. Biscuits are homemade and so yummy! Shrimp was very fresh. I had baked sweet potato as my side and seriously best sweet potato I have ever had. If you are in Biloxi you... More

The biscuits and honey were excellent.....Try the catfish and shrimp platter which was perfect....Sweet tea was just right!! Cold beer as well....A great place to simply enjoy Mississippi hospitality and local charm. A great place after a day golfing.....14 of us from North Dakota would absolutely go back next year!!

The charm and ambiance was definitely there. The food was just average. The all you care to eat shrimp and catfish was not freshly cooked - the catfish was the better of the two. The biscuits were barely warm and very chewy. The service was OK but as expected for what seemed to be a very limited menu. The sunset... More

ALL YOU CAN EAT SHRIMP AND CATFISH. I loved the food and the view. It can be a little hard to get to the driveway if it is a busy time of day, but it is well worth the drive. Try dining at sunset great view of the bay.

After having not dined at Aunt Jenny's in some time, we joined a group there celebrating a birthday party. The staff was great in keeping everyone happy and the food was very well done! The fried pickles are always a favorite, and the fish is lightly breaded and fried. Great Experience
