Gus Stevens Seafood Restaurant & Buccaneer Lounge was a restaurant and supper club in Biloxi, Mississippi. Gus Stevens, the Greek-American owner, came to the Gulf Coast in 1946.

The restaurant building was constructed with a Moroccan architecture style turret.

It was famous in the 1950s and 1960s and hosted many famous entertainers, including Andy Griffith, Mel Torme, Rudy Vallee and Jerry Lee Lewis. It is also well-known as the last place where Jayne Mansfield performed; she died early the next morning in a car crash while being driven from the club.

The establishment closed in 1975 and the building was empty until 2000, when it was demolished and the location slated to become a Surf Style store.
