Blow Fly Inn-Gulfport, MS

Yesterday we all drove to Gulfport to eat at one of the three Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives restaurants in Mississippi.  Click here to see the You Tube broadcast of Guy’s visit.  Being big fans of the TV show we were excited to try it out. 

 

               

The original Blow Fly Inn was destroyed during Katrina.  It took a couple of years to rebuild this one.  You walk up stairs or a ramp to get to the inside dining room.  There is also outside patio on the first floor or on the deck upstairs. 

The menu features a fair amount of seafood with their specialty being crab cakes.  They also feature all matter of Po’Boys and there was a sign announcing they had been awarded USA Today’s Best Hamburger in Mississippi.  Five of us opted for the crab cakes with Jim M. choosing the Beef Po’ Boy, which was monstrous! 

           

Our choices came with a nice side salad and ended with a generous portion of banana pudding with the customary plastic Blow Fly on top. 

We were not disappointed in our choices, as you can see from our happy faces.  As Linda was eating she was already talking about coming back next week…she really liked the crab cakes.

We paused after lunch to take in the terrific view from the outside deck and look at the huge tree next door.

            

We completed our day with a fire to celebrate being able to sit outside as the weather was finally warm enough.

It has been so wonderful traveling and being all together.  The six of us get along so well…sharing and cooperating on everything.  We laugh so much every time we get together…that Rich can sure come up with some clever comments that we all roar in laughter!!! At last night’s camp fire we were sure someone would be coming over to pipe us down…but no one did…some walked by eyeing us wearily though LOL! 

Remember, you are loved also!
