Looks can be deceiving, and Taranto & Son Seafood is proof of that. From the outside, the eatery doesn’t look like much. But inside, you’ll find some of the best po’ boys and seafood in the Magnolia State. Take a look:

Known simply as Taranto’s by locals, Taranto and Son Seafood is a hidden culinary gem that you’ll want to seek out.

Located in a quaint building on a Biloxi side road, it’s easy to pass up, but trust us, you definitely don’t want to do that.

Taranto’s is a no-frills kind of place with a laidback atmosphere, so don’t expect anything fancy.

On the inside, you’ll find a hodge podge of ocean-related décor.

You’re also likely to find a crowd because Taranto’s is a local favorite - and for good reason.

The perfect place to satisfy your seafood craving, the menu is loaded with a variety of po’ boys and seafood dishes.

Each po’ boy is as tasty as the next, but it’s the shrimp po’ boy diners can’t stop raving about.

The roast beef po’ boy is also pretty popular – and deliciously messy (which, as we all know, is a requirement for an authentic roast beef po’ boy).

When it comes to seafood options, you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy everything from fried seafood platters to the fresh catch of the day.

Boiled seafood, like crawfish, is available when in season.

The appetizer variety is nearly as plentiful as the entrée selection. Local favorites, like fried pickles, gumbo, and crawfish tails, are just of the few tasty ways you can start your meal.

Between the comfy atmosphere and tasty fare, Taranto's definitely gets two thumbs up.

Taranto’s is open Tuesday – Saturday 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. For more information, call (228) 392-0990. You can also visit the eatery’s Facebook page.

This isn’t the state’s only must visit seafood spot. Read about another here.
