The take
The Take
The Vibe
Patio 44 sits as a more considered voice in Gulfport’s growing dining scene, presenting a refined take on Gulf Coast comfort rather than a purely casual beach shack. The menu’s Southern anchors—shrimp and grits, Gouda grits with crabmeat and fried Mississippi catfish tacos—signal classic regional flavors presented with attention. The write-up frames the restaurant as part of an evolving local identity where meals become intentional moments; that framing gives Patio 44 a sophisticated, quietly charming presence that appeals to diners looking for thoughtful, place-driven American cooking rather than late‑night tourist fare.
Best For
Patio 44 is best known as a spot for weekend brunch and evening dinners that feel a step above casual. The venue is explicitly listed for brunch and is positioned for date nights and special occasions, so it functions well for celebratory meals or a considered night out.

The restaurant suits couples and small groups who want a meal that reads as intentional and locally rooted.
Ordering Tips
Focus on the signature Southern seafood plates when you visit. The fried Mississippi catfish tacos showcase local seafood flavors with a regional twist, while the Gouda grits with crabmeat and the shrimp and grits highlight the menu’s comfort‑forward, coastal character.
