Captain Al's Steak & Seafood, Waterfront restaurant in Gulfport, United States.
Captain Al's Steak & Seafood is a waterfront restaurant on Magnolia Street in Gulfport, Mississippi, where meat is cooked over a real fire pit and fresh seafood comes directly from the Gulf of Mexico. The menu covers steaks, seafood dishes, and mixed plates that bring together both in one sitting.
The restaurant was one of the first in Gulfport to combine steaks and seafood on the same menu, at a time when most places focused on one or the other. That approach became a model for other coastal spots and shaped the way dining along this part of the Gulf evolved.
Captain Al's is known for dishes like shrimp and grits and broiled crab cakes, which have been part of Gulf Coast cooking for generations. Sitting down here gives a clear sense of what people along this stretch of coastline have eaten and shared for a long time.
The restaurant sits right on the water on Magnolia Street and can be reached by car or by boat. It is worth checking opening hours before visiting, as it opens in the afternoon on weekdays and earlier on weekends.
The restaurant has its own dock where guests arriving by boat can tie up and walk straight to their table without going ashore first. This makes it one of the few places in the area that treats boaters as regular walk-in guests.
