Stella's

**** Review 163 ****While waiting for my car to be done at Gulfport Garage, the owner recommended this local gem. He was not wrong!This is actually a pretty large establishment for where it's located. With plenty of outdoor and Indoor seating, you should have a hard time not getting seated fast. Staff is friendly, and service is fast. Even though it wasn't busy when I came, so your experience might differ is this place is rocking. The food was delicious! They're known for their Fried Green Tomatoes, which I can see why! Their description says they're marinated in buttermilk, but I believe they might do something similar to a chicken fried batter. They come served with a chipotle aioli, which I think takes them to the next level. Their Nola Omelette is something I haven't seen before, definitely a must try! It's packed with shrimp and andouille sausage. This comes with 1 side and a choice of toast. I ordered the cheesy grits and sourdough toast. The toast was actually really fresh and delicious. The grits were cheesy, but I do love me some buttery grits, so I added more butter. If you're in Gulfport and looking for a nice local, sit and relax breakfast place, then you need to give this place a try. Prices are comparable to First Watch type of establishments, but you get to support your local businesses.*** Also, this place is pet friendly!***

Ran up in here yesterday for a breakfast burrito to go. It was $22. I think that was crazy expensive. It did come with a splash of hashbrowns but yo it was mid. It was made with the salads and sour cream in it.I've been here before cuz I'm local and it's one of those places to take a friend that's in town for breakfast or lunch. I just think they tax tf out of you. But in this places defense it is highly touristic so there you go.

Last night we ended up at Stella's for dinner. Super casual outside with nice music playing by a guy on guitar. The service was super friendly. I believe Courtney was our server. Dinner Service is new for them. Lucky for us! My friend and I split the short rib grilled cheese and the mahi sandwich. Sides, chosen were potato wedges, perfectly cooked, and some refreshing coleslaw as well. The short rib, grilled cheese was a stand out. It had Gouda cheese on it and was just amazing at the first bite. Just simply delicious. Definitely going back again for that. This was a Monday night and had a nice little crowd. Look forward to going back.

Had a wonderful morning at Stella's! It's so pleasant sitting out on the patio enjoying coffee and breakfast Our server was very friendly and on top of everything. I really appreciated their vegan options and the vegan avocado toast and hash browns were amazing! My husband enjoyed the banana bread French toast too. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be back!

Very filling and hearty meal. The biscuits were soft, the eggs were perfectly poached, and the gravy was savory and rich. The server was very informative and let us know extra information about the new dinner menu and the live music concerts they have in the weekdays. I also got a Hawaiian mimosa which was absolutely delicious .

Cute spot that always seems busy. We had an ok lunch but server seemed slow and mostly mia. We got their recommendations, and Banana French toast, Ruben (corned beef was a bit chewy), shrimp and grits (bit bland with barely cooked chunks of onion) were decent, but no standouts and none that we'd order again. I also really wish they didn't add starch or use prepackaged hollandaise sauce. It's not needed and also is no longer gluten free. Hollandaise is a simple sauce and should only contain 3 ingredients and seasoning.

Terrible food. My eggs Benedict had nothing on it and was covered in a red mayo and nasty hollandaise sauce couldn't even see the egg had so much sauce. The grapefruit juice wasn't fresh and tasted similar to an orange kool aid. Service was the cherry on top with a cranky old women who complained about her life to people at the bar area. She forgot my water and I went and try to pour it myself and she got snappy with me and never came back to check on me. The worst ever.

This place had great reviews so we had to try it for breakfast. Even though it was cool outside, we persevered as I liked being outside. The menu has a bit of everything, so something for everyone.Our server brought our decaf coffee quickly and then I ordered a western omelet with sourdough toast. I didn't like any of the sides, but that was fine as a 3 egg omelet is big. I don't think I have ever seen food come so quickly. In under 5 minutes, someone from the kitchen brought our food. The omelet was huge, and hot. The toast was well buttered, which isn't always the case. We never saw our server as he was busy talking to other servers. Had to flag him down to get more coffee. I had checked in on Yelp and you get free coffee, which I showed to him, but when the check arrived, he hadn't deducted it. Overall, average food and not great service. Maybe I was comparing service to Pia Trattoria where I had eaten the previous night and it was fantastic.

Atmosphere - Very nice. The restaurant has a nice, eclectic feel. The patio has about a dozen four tops with every table a different style and make. Service - Good, could have been better. Our server started out well, but when a couple (with a 3 year old son) arrived and took the table next to us, we were virtually ignored. Food - Good. I ordered the Banana Bread French Toast with sausage and a two scrambled eggs. The sausage patties were large and tasted very good. Unfortunately, the star of the meal was just OK. The bread was barely grilled and so soggy that I needed a spoon to eat it. The flavor was fine, it just wasn't French Toast.Overall Value - Good. I am going to write this one off as a case where I ordered the wrong thing. The portion size is big and prices reasonable.

The Stella experience was a food delight not withstanding the funky ambiance and wonderful service.
