    We loved our server Brett, he told us places to go in the area and suggested the best meals on the menu (his opinion, of course - but his opinion was right). You must try the Shrimp and Grits, the BBQ Shrimp, and the Seafood Gumbo. All were favorites of ours, and our server, Brett. Thanks Mr. B!!

    We visit NO every year. Many years ago we ate at Mr. B's and enjoyed our experience. For some reason we took it off our list of places to eat. After this visit we'll add it to our list again. The food was tasty and the service outstanding.

    We have eaten here before but we were a bit disappointed with this visit. We drove from South Carolina on our way to Texas and decided to stop for dinner. First of all, the prices have gone up quite a lot and the food quality didn’t deliver as it has in the past. I ordered the crab and corn soup that contained very little crab and was mostly corn($15) My entree was shrimp and grits($32) which contained only 5 shrimp that were overcooked and tough. It definitely needed more of the red eye gravy it was supposed to have on top( another disappointment). Will have to rethink another visit when passing through again

    When we travel to New Orleans one of our favorite places to eat is to go to brunch at Mr. B’s! When we got there on Sunday they sat us in the back of the restaurant! Not my favorite spot. My husband requested we be moved. They did move us to the front which was perfect! The food was delicious and our server did a great job! We especially enjoyed the Jazz trio that played! They were wonderful!! Thanks again for a great experience at Mr. B’s Bistro!

    Our server Jeremy was possibly the kindest, most personable we’ve ever had, treating us like VIP’s throughout our meal! The jazz trio was top notch and the shrimp and grits were incredible. We can’t recommend Mr. B’s highly enough!
