About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Long Beach, Mississippi, Harbor View Café stands as a shining beacon of Southern hospitality and mouthwatering American cuisine. This beloved restaurant and café perfectly marries classic comfort food with a coastal twist, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and travelers alike. From the moment you arrive at 504 Jeff Davis Ave, the inviting atmosphere and warm, attentive service immediately set the tone for a memorable dining experience.

Harbor View Café’s menu is a celebration of hearty flavors and fresh ingredients. The prime rib is tender and succulent, boasting a perfect balance of seasoning and juiciness that melts in your mouth. Their gumbo and seafood Atchafalaya dish capture the essence of Gulf Coast cooking — rich, savory, and bursting with authentic, soulful spice. The Crawfish Monica is indulgently creamy and packed with plump crawfish, while the Fried Catfish Platter offers a crisp, golden crust that encloses flaky, flavorful fish. For a lighter yet equally satisfying option, their Grilled Shrimp Salad is refreshing and vibrant, topped with just the right amount of zest.

Appetizers like the Gouda Mac Bites and Eggplant Fries add a gourmet touch to traditional favorites, introducing rich, cheesy goodness and crisp, seasoned batter that perfectly complement the casual yet refined environment. Don’t forget to finish your meal with one of their homemade cakes — the Chocolate Cake and Red Velvet Cake come highly recommended by regulars, embodying the perfect harmony of sweetness and texture. Pair your meal with their signature Sweet Tea or a refreshing Strawberry Mojito Mockail for a true taste of Southern indulgence.

The café also boasts an impressive selection of specialty sandwiches. The Malibu Grilled Chicken sandwich, tantalizingly topped with ham, pineapple, and Swiss cheese on a sweet bun, offers a delightful tropical twist that excites the palate. The Turkey BLT variants and hearty club sandwiches provide familiar yet elevated flavors, crafted to satisfy every appetite.

What truly sets Harbor View Café apart is its exceptional service and welcoming ambiance. Customers consistently praise the staff’s genuine friendliness and attentiveness, noting how their servers go above and beyond to ensure each visit feels personal and special. One reviewer fondly remembers the staff preparing a custom iced coffee for a child, a heartwarming example of the café’s commitment to guest satisfaction. Whether dining indoors or enjoying the stunning waterfront views on the patio—protected even during a southern thunderstorm with clear plastic curtains—you feel embraced by a warm, cozy atmosphere that enhances every bite.

Overall, Harbor View Café is more than just a place to eat—it’s a local gem that delights all the senses with its flavorful menu, inviting spirit, and a genuine love for great food and great company. Whether you’re craving classic southern dishes or innovative sandwiches, this café delivers on all fronts with passion and impeccable quality. It’s a spot you’ll want to return to again and again.

    We went on a busy Saturday and had a great experience! Our waitress went out of her way to make a great iced coffee, off the menu, for my daughter and was very attentive. Our food was excellent and worth going back for!

    Even though it was their busier time of the morning we were seated immediately and it didn't take long to order and receive our meal. Bri and Robin were excellent. Robin assisted with our initial drink order because Bri's section was full. Thank you for an excellent dining experience. I will definitely return when I'm home again!!!

    Everything we ordered was top-notch. Our server, Christy (not sure if that's how she spells it), was an absolute gem. We will be back, and have already been recommending it to friends. I had the Reuben sandwich with eggplant fries (my favourite) for a small upcharge, my Mom & cousin had the Atchafalaya. We all loved everything about this place.

    Harbor View Café – A Gulfport Gem with Flavor and Friendliness to Spare! From the moment we arrived, Harbor View Café impressed us with its easy-to-find location and stunning views—especially if you snag a seat outside. The atmosphere was spotless, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. Friendly, helpful, and impressively prompt, they set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. We kicked things off with the Fried Mac and Gouda Cheese Bites, and wow—they were a knockout. Perfectly fried with a smoky Gouda flavor that paired beautifully with ranch, but the real magic happened when we added a splash of J. Lee’s hot sauce to the mix. That combo? Absolute perfection. For entrées, we tried the Biloxi Po’boy “all the way” with eggplant fries. The sandwich was solid, but those eggplant fries stole the spotlight—light, crispy, and packed with flavor. Next up was the patty melt, which was cooked exactly to our liking (a rare treat these days). The marble rye and homemade chips made it a standout. We also had the grilled shrimp po’boy with more of those addictive homemade chips—generous portions and bursting with flavor. We were too full for dessert, but that just gives us the perfect excuse to come back. Harbor View Café nails it on every front—great food, great service, and a view that seals the deal. Well done!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We ate outside during a thunderstorm. They had clear plastic curtains that allowed us to enjoy the beachscape without getting wet or too cold. The food was amazing and very large portions. Our server was great. She took good care of us and when she described the desserts I almost ordered one even though I was too full to finish my food. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Had a wonderful lunch here. The mac and cheese bites for an appetizer was great especially if you like lightly fried and creamy, yum. I got the Ruben and husband got the cuban. We were both pleased. And of course we had to try one of their homemade cakes and a brownie! Oh and the beach views are nice too. Staff was friendly and service great.
