The restaurant opened in 1964, but the building is much older.

The New Orleans-style building was constructed in 1737 originally as a home, making it one of the oldest buildings in Biloxi. It has survived countless hurricanes, and still stands strong!
While many generations of locals come back again and again, it’s also a place where presidents have dined.

The walls of the dining rooms are peppered with framed photos of the restaurant’s most prominent patrons over the years. Telegrams from President Kennedy and Reagan are two of the most fascinating finds on the wall, but pop stars have walked through the doors as well!
From Cher to Usher, several celebrities and even some world-renowned chefs find the time in their busy schedules to swing by Mary Mahoney’s.

Be sure to start the meal off with one of the signature dishes like crab claws or charbroiled oysters.

The gumbo is a fan favorite, and it's been the same recipe ever since Mary Mahoney opened the doors!
A meal this special deserves to end on a sweet note, so carve out some space for dessert.
