First time at Parrain’s Jambalaya Kitchen on 179 Reynoir St, Biloxi, and I loved it. I had the chicken and sausage jambalaya which was full of flavor, and the crispy pork grinds dipped in comeback sauce were super crunchy and delicious. The highlight was the chicken and sausage gumbo. I usually do not eat gumbo, but this one was BOOM. I could not stop eating it. The hot beignets were also amazing, soft and not oily at all. I really respect the manager because she actively drives around town to different places telling people about the restaurant. It’s been around for years and most people don’t know about them ( including me lol). Our waitress was super sweet, and the cleanliness was top tier. Though there wasn’t a lot of space in the restaurant if you think of big parties. However I thi

OMFG!!! Some of the best food we have had in this trip !! We stayed in New Orleans and ventured out to biloxi miss, The recommendation we got was either the signature special “ catfish pertain” or the swamp tour We ended up getting the catfish pertain and the shrimp poor boy. Let me tell you something, I don’t know why there is no line out the door cause there should be . That signature dish was off the chain good!! The shrimp poor boy was the best we had . Mothers in New Orleans can’t hold a candle to this one !! Then we ended with some Madi grad beignets which was great as well but for a short time only !! Come get you some awesome comfort creole food !! It’s only 1hr 25 mins away from new Orleans. Trust me worth the drive or if in the area visit this place

We ate here for the first time today while traveling through after visiting a friend in Biloxi. We got the Shrimp and Catfish Poboys. I would definitely place them in the top 3 of best Poboys we have had the past several years. We will definitely have to come back next time we are in the area. We also really liked the woman who was working today as our front of house. She is just delightful.

What a tasty surprise! Everything was so yummy! Highly recommend the boudin balls, hog head cheese, the pork cracklins, the gumbo, the jambalaya, The shrimp Po boy... you definitely go with the catfish parrain! All the seafood is domestic. Highly recommend! The catfish parrain is plenty enough for two people to share. In fact, they split it for us in the kitchen.

I found this place on TikTok, and decided to give it a try. The staff is extremely warm and friendly. While they were explaining the history of their restaurant, I was provided a samples of their red beans & rice, gumbo, and étouffée. All 3 dishes were divine and flavorful, but I came to try the shrimp and catfish sampler and some beignets (10/10 by the way). I plan to return and get a full serving of the red beans & rice and the warmer meals now that it’s getting cooler outside. I highly recommend this establishment in you’re in the area.
