About Mary Mahoney's

The history of Mary Mahoney's restaurant is just as captivating and distinctive as its cuisine. Nestled in a historic Southern home built in 1737 by French colonist Louis Frasier, the restaurant preserves the charm and authenticity of its origins, thanks in part to the dedicated staff. The establishment features a beautiful New Orleans-inspired courtyard, complete with a centuries-old oak tree.
Mary Mahoney transformed the property into a restaurant in 1964, with the assistance of her brother, Andrew Cvitanovich, whose background in the shrimping industry undoubtedly contributed to the seafood restaurant's success. Not only was the food exceptional, but it was also remarkable for being founded and operated by a woman.
Sadly, Mary Mahoney passed away in 1985, but her influence as a trailblazer in the restaurant world continues through her daughters, nieces, and granddaughters, who all play a role in the family-run establishment. Today, Mary Mahoney's remains a testament to her enduring legacy.
