The food was delicious & the backwoods old fashioned was tasty! The service was great as well.

1st timers. Amazing and experience! The food was as top notch as our server, Kaityn was!! Great quality all around! Would eat here again!

Awful. Absolutely horrible food a year ago and today. We used to frequent this place quite often in recent years for date night and celebration's. We stopped going after repeated bad experiences with the food. One instance was paying almost $30 for a single king crab leg add on that was the size and width of a pencil, another when they did all you can eat royal reds and they stopped seasoning them because so many older people complained so they just brought out a ramekin of seasoning. Maybe if I complain enough this time they will get a whole knew kitchen staff and kitchen manager because this is utterly disappointing and shows the absolute lack of care and commitment. After over a year of staying away we returned for date night. Drinks were fine, charcuterie board appetizer was good and then our entrees came and we were so let down and it was quite frankly depressing. Every item was over cooked. My medium filet,that was not a choice cut and looked to be butterflied even though I did not order it that way, was well done, to the point of being crumbly, with zero char on the outside. I paid extra to have the filet rack house style plus $11 for crabmeat. There was one bite of crabmeat and the risotto on the bottom was glue. My husband's special of the night, swordfish, was overcooked as well, very dry, and his risotto was the same glue slop. Our side of mac n cheese was so overcooked and dry that it stuck to your teeth and the asparagus was close to mush. There is obviously no pride in that kitchen. No one temps or checks the consistency of anything. No chef, manager, expo, or cook saw an entire tables meal go out completely different from what was rung in or what their standards should be and stopped it from going out. Maybe they need better healthcare plans for their employees so they can get routine eye exams back there. The service was fine, even though we had to ask about any specials and bread, and Nancy the manager was wonderful, we had her take care of us when she was still a server. She comped our food, gave us a gift certificate, and we just paid for our drinks and app and dessert togo. But even that doesn't make up for the repeat food failures. The year between visits that we gave time for them to get their act together was ultimately futile. Overall our date night out was $70 because even though the food was comped, when it came time to pay, the 18% gratuity section was $27 dollars for the $43 bill. They have you tipping on the total before the comp. My husband and I tipped the $27 because we are former service industry people, both of us busboys up to managers at different establishments on the coast and beyond for 16+ years, and know it's not the servers fault but I'm sure there are people out there that would not appreciate that. Maybe just go for drinks on happy hour, their drinks have never failed us, but don't have high hopes for the food. It was a toss up between here and Ruth Chris tonight, save yourself the back and forth and don't choose this place. Spend the extra dollars to ensure you're going to have a great date night. Now we are trying to figure out somewhere else that we can actually eat at and not leave feeling disappointed twice in one night.

This place was great. The food was absolutely superb! The wait staff was great, Jelly did a wonderful job with his recommendations on food and drink. This was a top 5 dining experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend this place!!

Food was great but the service was the best. Jelly, our server, was epic and our bartender Emily was great as well.

I had the Tuna Stack Tacos. They were the best tacos I have ever had. I could not recommend them more. Our waiter, Jelly, was the best waiter we have ever had. The bartender, Emily, was also amazing. If you go there, ask for Jelly and Emily. 10/10!!! So good!!

This meal was one of the best of my life!! Our waiter, Jelly, was so knowledgeable about the menu and everything he recommended was AMAZING!!! His service was phenomenal and so was our bartender, Emily’s!! I had the swordfish over sautéed spinach and Parmesan risotto! The bacon appetizer - ?!! Any time I am in Gulfport again, I will most definitely be back at The Rack House and definitely want Jelly to be our server!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome in every way. Steaks all ordered different temps and all perfectly cooked. Apps were out of this world as were the cocktails. Meg M our waitress was nothing short of amazing and made our dinner memorable. She was backed up by Meg E and Toby behind the bar. Had to ask their names as they all killed it as well. Many thanks guys!

My husband and I decided to stop at The Rack House for lunch. Fantastic experience! Our waiter, Jordan, was outstanding!! The food, phenomenal. They went above and beyond to accommodate my unusual request, lettuce wrapped steak tacos. I can highly recommend them. Wow!!

Food was great and the service was even better! I have a peanut allergy and Danielle was EXTREMELY accommodating making sure the food was prepared without cross contamination. This was some of the best service I have ever experienced. Make sure to ask for Danielle!
