We went during the late lunch hour and we were allowed to order from the lunch menu. The lunch came with a salad. I ordered the salad with homemade Thousand Island, which was very good. The timing of the lunch plate order to table was perfect. The sauce was very good. I ordered my dish with grilled shrimp. For the light eater, even the lunch plate was enough for two servings. We then tried the bread pudding, which had the perfect amount of alcohol. It was not overbearing. Yum! The chocolate cheesecake was heavenly: Wow! I had expected the standard cheesecake with chocolate flavor. I highly recommend this dessert. Upon arrival we had to wait to be seated, but the wait was only seconds. The waitress was being shadowed and both of these ladies were very pleasant. They made us feel like we were talking to a longtime friend. We never had to ask for drink refills; the staff is Awesome!

White Cap is one of my mother’s favorite restaurants and she took me there today for my birthday lunch. It was my first time and honestly I don’t know why! The exterior is nice, but the interior is very nice. The coastal and nautical decor is classy yet casual. You could dress up or dress down. It is a very clean restaurant with lovely views of the Gulf. The staff are very friendly and professional. Jeanviere was our server and we were 100% satisfied. Now for the most important part…THE FOOD. My mother thinks that their fried butterfly shrimp are the best and she orders them every time. Their hush puppies are big, homemade, and delicious. Anyone who visits this place should get an order of them! I ordered the blackened redfish with a seafood cream sauce and their special green beans as my side. I also had a cup of their crawfish and corn bisque. Everything was cooked to perfection. I will highly recommend this restaurant to all of my friends.

I believe that if someone asked me where I could get a nice Southern cooked Biloxi/Gulfport meal, I would send them here. They are right across from the Gulf and have outdoor tables as well as a great view through the windows inside. They shuck the oysters right here. I had red beans rice and catfish along with great tasting coleslaw. The catfish tasted extra fresh. Even the hush puppies that I don’t normally enjoy were really good. I met the owner who was shucking the oysters for some customers. This place has been in his family since the early 1900s. Shrimp, crawfish, fish, red beans and rice, etc. I don’t think you could find a better restaurant for Southern Mississippi cooking. And all of it at very reasonable prices. Sydney was our waitress and she did a fine job of taking care of us. Southern Hospitality and great food, MMM -mmm good.

Food was pretty good. I ordered the grilled Mahi Mahi. It was overcooked/dry. However, the raw oysters were great, along with the salad and parsley potatoes! Everyone else’s food was perfect! Will go back, and I will try it again next time!!! Service was wonderful as well!!

Hadn’t been for quite awhile. Just as good as remembered. We had crab fingers, redfish and Mahi Mahi both grilled with a unique sauce on the side for each. Lemon Meringue and Key lime pie for dessert. Everything was prepared perfectly. We had an ocean view table for viewing the sunset on the beach. Our server was fairly new, but asked a question when needed and did very well.

This was my daughter’s first time eating oysters and she absolutely loved the grilled half dozen she ate. I got the seafood platter and devoured with gusto each of the items overflowing on the plate. I just love the seasoning they use on their fried food and all the restaurant made dressings and sauces. Come for the seafood and atmosphere, you surely won’t be disappointed.

We went to White Cap on a Monday evening around 6:40 pm for dinner. There was no wait (we had just missed the rush) so that was nice because we had two very hungry kids with us. We ordered a dozen oysters which came out pretty quickly. My husband also ordered a cup of the crawfish and corn bisque. Surprisingly this took longer than I expected to come out but it was very delicious and I would definitely order that again. My son ordered the catfish fillet with fries off of the kids menu and he really enjoyed those. My other son ordered the Shrimp Po’Boy and he LOVED it. I ordered the 1/2 shrimp, 1/2 oyster Po’Boy but unfortunately our server accidentally gave it to the wrong table and because it was 7:30 by the time our food came out, she offered to have them make it again but put it in a box to go or I could eat the Po’Boy the other table ordered (catfish). I do not like catfish and I did not want to take my meal to go to eat back at the hotel so I opted just not to have it. I was bummed because I was really looking forward to it. Other than that though – we had a good experience and our server was really nice and apologetic for the mishap.

Insanely nice staff! They have all been VERY considerate and caring towards kids (and messy kids like mine)! Very professional, very helpful. And the seafood is absolutely awesome. One of the best places I have had seafood and my first introduction to oysters that I loved.

**Restaurant Review: White Cap Restaurant**
I recently visited White Cap Restaurant, drawn in by its reputation and coastal setting, but the experience was more of a mixed bag than I expected. The location offers a picturesque view, which is easily the highlight of the visit, but the food and atmosphere left much to be desired.
Starting with the gumbo, I have to give credit where it’s due. It was rich, flavorful, and easily the best thing I tried. The flavors were well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice and a nice blend of seafood and sausage. If the rest of the menu lived up to this dish, it would have been a completely different experience.
Unfortunately, the shrimp appetizer was a disappointment. It was essentially just thawed-out baby shrimp thrown into a bowl with no real effort to make them appetizing. They lacked seasoning, texture, and presentation. This seemed like a rushed, careless dish.
Moving on to the seafood platter, it was bland and uninspired. The fish, shrimp, and other seafood items tasted like they had been overcooked and under-seasoned, a far cry from the freshness and flavor you’d expect from a restaurant near the coast. Honestly, it reminded me of a lackluster meal from Red Lobster on an off day. The sides didn’t do much to elevate the plate, either, leaving the entire dish feeling flat and unmemorable.
As for dessert, the slice of key lime pie was underwhelming, both in portion size and taste. It was barely three bites, which might have been forgivable if those bites had been exceptional, but the pie was just okay—nothing that justified the portion or price.
The restaurant itself, despite the beautiful view, has an unfortunate odor that detracted from the experience. The smell was strong and unpleasant, reminiscent of sitting on a hot oyster bed at noon during low tide. It hung in the air throughout the meal and made it difficult to enjoy the food, especially when combined with the less-than-stellar dishes.
In summary, while the gumbo and the view are worth a stop, the rest of the menu falls short. There’s potential here, but unless improvements are made to the food and atmosphere, I can’t say I’d recommend White Cap Restaurant for anything beyond a quick bowl of gumbo and a glance at the scenery.
