West End

Decided to try out a local restaurant last night. Soooo glad we did! Absolutely LOVED this little place! The waitress, I believe her name was Nicole, was outstanding! She explained that they were getting a new menu starting tomorrow and were still in the process of getting their liquor license. So, that was a downfall… But that is the only negative we had. The food was delish! We ordered the crab claws. They were the best I’ve had anywhere in South Mississippi. My husband ordered the filling seafood platter and I had the chicken Caesar salad. Both plates were huge and yummy!
Highly recommend this quaint NOLA inspired place.

Awesome food. Highly recommend stopping by this place. Great service… they had me at the hot fresh french bread!

Highly recommend this little spot. She had the Surf and turf and I had the Mai Mai with crab cake. Split it all and every thing was great. The reduction sauce on the crab cakes very unique, Mai was cooked perfectly. Steak had a taste I could not place and the fried shrimp was diffently not the normal batter you find. We will be back. Don’t miss getting the bread pudding again not the norm.

Really great lunch there today! Had the special, a fried green tomato and shrimp po boy, and a cup of gumbo. Thought the best part was the gumbo until the sandwich came out. It was delicious, great bread, great sauce, and the tomato and shrimp was fantastic.

We eat here all the time and I can honestly say that I have NEVER had a bad meal there. I’ve enjoyed each and every visit and you’ll have a hard time finding a better Alfredo sauce anywhere!

I ate lunch at the West End Restaurant in Waveland, MS on 4÷17÷2015. It was my 1^st time there. I had a cup of the crab shrimp bisque ($ 6.00) and a shrimp poboy ($ 10.00). My sweet tea was $ 1.75. All the food was good and Angie, my server, did a fine job. Plus, I took photos.

Great dinner! Absolutely no complaints. We ordered a bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer with a spicy honey glaze that is not on the menu and I wanted to lick the plate clean. It was grilled and cooked perfectly. I ordered the trout meunière and had eaten about half of it when the server brought me another piece of fish because the manager thought my first piece was too small. I thought my serving size was fine but was very appreciative of the extra fish. It was grilled to perfection. The bread and butter that accompanied the meal was very fresh and tasty. We also ordered a mahi special that had a crab cake. The crab cake was bigger than you get at most places and was mainly crab, it was not full of breading like most places.

I was only moderately impressed with West End. We only came because of a gift card and likely will not return.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant, but the location on Hwy 90 is a far fetch from other local restaurants located over on the gulf. As such, I expect for the food to make up for the views of speeding traffic.
We started with fried green tomatoes and chargrilled buffalo oysters. The tomatoes were ok, but the oysters were good and certainly the highlight of the meal. They reminded me of the BBQ oysters served at Redfish Grill in New Orleans even though they weren’t nearly as good. They needed to be covered in more of the Crystal (I think…) buerre blanc sauce.
For entre, we had the special plate of blackened fish and shrimp atop a creamy crawfish pasta. Luckily, my wife and I shared the dish… it was HUGE, and $ 28. We had lots of leftovers. The fish was ok, but the pasta needed a lot of salt. It was greatly underseasoned.
BOTTOM LINE: An ok place to grab some grub in the BSL area, but certainly not the best.

Read the reviews and got a few recommendations from the locals. As a local panhandle seafood lover and fisherman I say the Mahi Mahi was a McMahi at a Ruth Chris price. Filet with pasta «special» was not so special. I let the server know in which she advised the manager whom would not even come to the table… I was offered a free dessert. I bet it was Sams cheesecake.

We called ahead to make a reservation and they were very nice and accommodating on the phone. The service was very good and our waitress was very genuine and sweet. The food sucked. They brought out a paper bagged french loaf that was a nice touch. Down hill from there. Seared tuna special was really gross and not even close to sushi grade, it was overcooked and came with poor seaweed salad and wasabi. Pass. Veal picatta. Pass. Dry, 4 capers, serious lack of flavor. Not even warm when it came out. Does Sysco sell a veal picatta? I don’t know but of they did it would probably taste like this garbage.

This place is a little hidden gem! Everything we have tried here is delicious! We have had the buffalo fried oysters, HUGE raw oysters, filet… its all good! Great drinks and a full bar too!

Found this cool cozy place on a road trip to NOLA. I can confidently say this is the best seafood gumbo I have ever had.

The food here was really, really good! Check it out!

Good food (even the gumbo– so many good restaurants get it wrong), friendly staff, nice décor, and fair prices. Enough said.

Our group of 8 was in town on our road trip visit from San Francisco. We found West End on Unilocal and decided to give it a shot because of the positive reviews. We were not disappointed to say the least!
We shared a number of dishes and everything was very tasty. The Mahi Mahi and Jax pasta with trout and blackened shrimp were a real standout for me and my girlfriend.
One of the best parts of our meal was our was our server, Sean. He was very attentive, new ALL the dishes on the menu and made excellent recommendations. We left very happy.
I’d highly recommend West End for upscale /​casual dining and excellent food.

This was one of the best dinners I’ve had in a long time! My group was visiting from out of town.
The service was awesome, Sean really took care of us and made us feel right at home.
He recommended many dishes to us and they were all amazing. Jacks trout dish was my personal favorite.
If you’re in the area, don’t miss it!

Pleasantly surprised with this little restaurant in Waveland. On a business trip in the area and was waiting for a rocket engine test at Stennis Space Center and decided to try West End. Fantastic food. I had a dozen oysters as an appetizer. The oysters were large and salty… very nice. My main course was the Triple Tail that was cooked to perfection. The prices were good and the service was great.

I’m never really satisfied when I leave here. My food is usually not warm enough or the texture is off… Limp sweet potato fries. Hard, grilled asparagus. Flavorless hollandaise…
However, they do have interesting cocktails. I don’t drink cocktails but when I’m here with my girlfriends we each usually end up getting a different drink and test one another’s.

Last visit they had some excellent raw oysters. I’m a sucker for great oysters. That is not the draw for me though. What I love, love, love here is a seafood pasta dish. It is creamy, has shrimp, crabmeat, and I’m sure is not healthy for me.
It is comfort food to this Gulf Coast girl all the way to my bones. It makes me feel like everything in life is just as it should be. If a dinner can do that then it is definitely five stars in my book.

When we entered this restaurant we were really were really hopeful. The chalkboard specials looked excellent… then we got the menu. and the selections were abound with what looked like an awesome menu. :)
that said. this is reality.
Wife ordered the bisque. She said it was ok. but a bit «light». I guess she’s used to a real heavy bisque. This one was more of a very light claim chowder consistancy. Not horrible. but. not great.
We had Crab claws for an app. We really wanted sauteed. but we weren’t asked how we wanted it cooked and were delivered «fried». Not a fan of the fried. there was just no taste to it.
I had the fish tacos. Everywhere I go I look and see if someone has fish taco’s and of course try them if they are available. These fish taco’s looked more like fish quesadilla’s. It was also pretty plain. no spices really. again very plain.
The service here was good. and the décor was a perfect niche. The prices are high and quite frankly. for what we ordered… the quality was average at best.
If passed through Waveland again. I doubt we would try here again. There are a couple of other seafood joints around that area. I’d be willing to try somewhere else first.
