McElroy's Harbor House, Seafood restaurant in Biloxi Small Craft Harbor, US
McElroy's Harbor House is a seafood restaurant in Biloxi's Small Craft Harbor that specializes in fresh Gulf of Mexico catches prepared with regional recipes. The building sits elevated above the waterfront along Biloxi Beach Boulevard, allowing diners to view the harbor and surrounding water from their tables.
The McElroy family launched their restaurant business in 1957 with a root beer stand and later expanded to establish the harbor location in 1974. The restaurant was reconstructed and elevated following Hurricane Katrina's impact on the Mississippi coast.
The restaurant reflects Mississippi Gulf Coast traditions through its menu, featuring local seafood and regional cooking methods passed down through generations. Diners experience the flavors and customs that have defined coastal life here for decades.
The restaurant sits directly on the waterfront with straightforward access from the harbor parking area and walkways. Visitors should expect longer waits during warmer months and weekends, particularly at peak dining times when the outdoor sections fill quickly.
The building was reconstructed with special elevations after Hurricane Katrina, protecting it from storm surge while offering better views of Deer Island and the Gulf. This adaptation means diners experience the waterscape from a raised vantage point that reflects the community's resilience.
