Sizzle & Salt
Harrah’s Gulf Coast
For a taste sensation that will have your senses sizzling, there is the
new Sizzle & Salt at Harrah’s Gulf Coast, a lively, high-energy dining experience where bold Southwest flavors come alive. Located in the lobby overlooking the pool deck, Sizzle & Salt is aptly named as there are handcrafted cocktails with salted rims and quesadillas sizzling on the restaurant’s grill top.
Sizzle & Salt is the perfect addition to the Biloxi resort, which has a number of popular eateries. “Sizzle & Salt a casual restaurant with a unique flair,” said Food and Beverage Director Josh Necaise. “When the chefs are cooking at the live-action grill, it gets the whole hotel smelling good.”
That smell draws in guests, who can’t help but notice the sizzle as quesadillas and fajitas are prepared. For the fajita chicken quesadilla, the chicken is deliciously seasoned and combined with grilled peppers and onions on a large flour tortilla before a generous portion of cheese is added. The tortilla is then grilled to perfection. While those sitting at the bar have a front-row seat to the aromatic preparations, everyone in the restaurant has the pleasure to hear and savor what is being cooked.
The fajitas have also become fast favorites at the restaurant. Select from grilled chicken, steak or shrimp mixed with grilled peppers and onions. The meal, which comes with three tortillas, Mexican rice, refried beans, cheese, and sour cream, is served with guacamole and pico de gallo – both house-made and wonderfully flavorful.
Executive Sous Chef Jason Sperbeck makes the salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo and more in house using only the freshest ingredients, something that can be tasted in every bite. The zesty guacamole is both smooth and chunky at the same time, and the salsa has a vibrant flavor with a wonderful kick. For those who like the heat turned a little higher, be sure to ask for the spicy salsa.
Guests can order a basket of bottomless fresh-fried corn tortilla chips and salsa, plus there is queso cheese dip, guacamole and chips, and the Coast queso – a thick, zingy cheese dip loaded with whole shrimp and lump crabmeat bringing together the best of two worlds.
Sizzle & Salt has a selection of tacos with the sweet chili shrimp at the top of list. The shrimp come grilled or fried and are covered in a sweet chili sauce served on soft tortillas with slaw and pico de gallo. There are also birria tacos, slow-cooked beef, pickled red onion, cilantro and rich birria broth perfect for dipping.
The Sizzle & Salt burger features two smashed beef patties, grilled peppers, American cheese, guacamole and pico. The “smashing” helps the burger to have a caramelized crust while maintaining a juicy interior – something burger lovers are sure to enjoy.
Guests won’t go away thirsty with the drinks offered, including the Sizzle & Salt margarita made with 21 Seeds Cucumber Jalapeno tequila and the blackberry lemonade margarita with Lunazul Reposado tequila. Handcrafted at the bar, these refreshing drinks made with fresh ingredients complement the restaurant’s food in all the best ways. There is also a selection of specialty cocktails, beer, wine and more.
Whether you’re stopping by for a drink or a snack, to watch sports on one of the many large screens or there for a full meal, Sizzle & Salt offers it all. The restaurant opens daily at 11 a.m., closing at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and at 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
