Rags To Riches Of Bay St Louis

"Sadly, I am convinced that the good reviews must be friends of the restaurant or some other promotion, because the experience here was terrible. Food was subpar. Overall a disappointment. We showed up to the open seating around 4:30, told we could sit anywhere, and chose to sit out on the patio. Watched waitstaff pal around with other patrons, and after about 15-20 minutes, finally someone approached us and said we’d have someone help us shortly, they were doing shift change. 10 minutes after THIS, we get menus and drinks. Another 20+ minutes for our appetizers and entrees to come out at the same time, cold. Standard burger, standard chicken sandwich. Waffle fries were cold, and had some sort of old cheese stuck on them. Which was a surprise to me, when I had mentioned to the waitress that I couldn’t have cheese (husband got the empanadas - he said they were not great). No one ever checked on our table, but when we looked back into the restaurant from our patio seats, the staff was behind the bar doing each other’s hair and chatting. Not sure what was going on there, but it was just an overwhelmingly disappointing experience."

"Rags be damned bartenders treat you as if you are the richest person in Old Town Bay St Louis What a great find tucked by the tracks you will find a gem. Friendly local dive with a view."

"Best bar & grill in Ole Town, owners are super friendly, the atmosphere is great, and it feels like it should be in the keys. Wings ,gumbo, and burgers are delicious. It's an older ,well-behaved crowd, and it's a perfect spot to watch your favorite sports."

"Fun cool spot near the water for good drinks and food. This feels like the standard for a bar in Bay St Louis. Went for lunch on a Friday to kick off the weekend. The waiter was attentive and had a cool welcoming vibe. The drinks were tropical and fun with a good kick. The food was traditional bar food, tasty and plentiful. We got fries covered in sauce and meat and a few other appetizers. You can tell this place gets lively on the weekends and it’s a solid choice for the area."

"Rags to Riches is a must for anyone out of town or local looking for a place to watch the game and grab some great food. The chicken sandwich with waffle fries was top-notch--the sandwich and sauce were delicious, and those fries were hands down the best I've had anywhere. We enjoyed a variety of drinks from beers to mimosas and Bloody Marys, all of which were fantastic. The gumbo was hot and seriously good, and the wings were crispy and flavorful. The bartenders and servers were all so friendly and welcoming. It's a perfect spot to hang out with friends or family, whether you're there for the game or a meal. Overall, a great place with delicious food and a cool vibe."
