We got 2 adult plates and dessert and as usual we didn’t break a $20 bill to eat here!
Now THIS is "Good Ole' Southern Cookin'"!
The meatloaf plate at Dat Kitchen Too never misses. Tender meatloaf smothered in gravy, creamy mashed potatoes, sweet corn, and a warm roll on the side. Add a little Cajun Chef Sport Peppers if you’re feeling spicy 🌶️
Meatloaf: Hearty, homemade, and smothered in gravy. Just like mama used to make.
Mashed Potatoes & Corn: Creamy potatoes and sweet buttered corn.
Dinner Roll: Soft and warm on the side.
Dessert - Lemon Cake: Oh my goodness. This moist lemon cake with that thick yellow frosting was the perfect sweet finish. Light, tangy, and absolutely worth saving room for!
Sweet Tea: Because you can’t have Southern food without it!

Dat Kitchen Too is proud of where their seafood comes from!
This sign says:
"WE Proudly SERVE DOMESTIC WILD CAUGHT SHRIMP - Provided by Pincher's Seafood"
When a restaurant tells you upfront they use local, wild-caught Gulf shrimp, you know the food’s gonna be fresh.
That’s the kind of care that makes Southern cooking taste like home.
They Use the Good Stuff
One thing I love about Dat Kitchen Too is they’re proud of where their food comes from. This sign in the window says it all: "We Proudly Serve Domestic Wild Caught Shrimp" from Pincher's Seafood.
You can taste the difference in Gulf Coast cooking when they use local, wild-caught seafood.
It’s that extra care that makes us drive to Waveland for it!
Big portions. Fair prices. Friendly folks. The dining room is simple and the food is the star.

2 plates + dessert and we’re still under $20! You won’t find that everywhere.
Planning a beach day after your meal? Don’t head out without my list!
