    Very nice experience. Fish was delicious, drinks were great. My husband was annoyed I made him wear a collared shirt as many men had ringer tees on and baseball hats, despite what the online dress code states. He survived! Service was very good too! Would go again should we return to NOLA. 👍🦄😊

    Terrance took great care of us. We had the seafood gumbo, BBQ shrimp, wedge salad and pecan pie. It was all excellent but probably some of the best gumbo I have had. We ate at Mister Bs the last time we were in New Orleans. It will be a must whenever we are in town.

    I have dined at Mr B's for over 20 years. This was a very disappointing meal. I hate to make a negative review. Our food was not up to the usual and was served barely warm. Maybe we should have said something but I hate to complain. Our Server Terrence was great and I think he probably realized we were disappointed because we left well over 50% of our food on our plates.

    Mr. B's is always a good bet for any meal. They have consistently excellent food and service - our pair of servers was very responsive and anticipated what we needed, including refills of the amazing bargain of $1.50 Bloody Marys.

    If you regularly dine at nice restaurants wherever you live - and you are visiting NO - there is no reason to go here. Nothing special and it not very good. Feels like the restaurants my parents took me to growing up in the 1970s.

    Excellent meal and service. We shared duck spring rolls, grilled fish and quiche. Finale was the magnificent bread pudding. Wait staff was professional, bubbly and informative. Jazz music was a perfect addition as they were quietly playing background music entertaining the guests. Mothers Day Jazz Brunch. Perfect!

    Spectacular! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 What a gem! We dined for lunch and had two of the best servers, Jeremy and JC who didn’t miss a beat! We started with Fried Oyster that we delicious and crispy; the Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and Grits was delightful; creamy with full of flavor with each bit! We had the Pecan Pie and Bread Pudding for dessert, both rated 10!! Do not miss Mr. Bs Bistro! We will be back again; and again….
