This was one of the best dining experiences of my life! Our server Terrence was very nice and accommodating! He was patient while I was deciding what to order when my whole table had already decided, and even recommended the honey glazed pork chop. I told him I also wanted gumbo ya ya because I’d neber had gumbo before, and he offered to bring me a “trial gumbo” in a little dish so I could try it. The gumbo was delicious and the pork chop was hands down the best I’ve ever had! Thank you Terrence and Mr. B’s for the best dinner during my first New Orleans trip!

The most amazing meal I’ve ever had in NOLA. Our server, Steven, was amazing and had the best recommendations at every step of our dining experience from cocktails to dessert. He made us feel welcomed and made this dining experience special for us by checking on us regularly and sharing his knowledge of their menu and talented chefs. We both ordered the corn and lobster soup as suggested and it was delicious especially when paired with fresh crusty bread loaf which was presented in a bread bag which we thought was pretty cool so no one’s hands touched the bread amd it stayed warm. We decided to share entrees and ordered the shrimp and grits as well as the beef shortib special. We both agreed the shortrib was stellar and fought over the last bite (seriously fought). We ordered the walnut cake for dessert and that did not disappoint. Our cocktails were also very well made. Service from beginning to end was fabulous. Overall, the food and drinks are amazing here. I loved it so much I immediately spread the word among fellow foodie vendors and colleagues attending our national legal education conference at the Hilton Riverside. Everyone I sent over loved Mr. B’s too and shared byond the amazing shortrib they also tried the pork chop and seafood dishes and lemon ice box cake and bread pudding to rave reciews as well. I swear I tried my best to go one more time before leaving NOLA this week (which I never do repeats on a business trip) but will definitely be going back to Mr. B’s Bistro before 2026 is over.

Our group of 4 had an incredible dinner experience here! Two in our group had the pork chop and they were still raving about it the next day. I had the duck and it was the best duck I’ve had in a long time. The other guest in our group got the burger with the truffle fries and it was delicious as well. Our server (I wish I could remember his name) was amazing! Hos recommendations were spot on and his service was top notch. We will be returning here on our next visit to New Orleans.

We loved the whole experience although I would say the duck spring rolls were just not for us. The goat cheese was just way too over powering, but the sauce it was served with helped me get them down. The bbq shrimp sauce was so good it’s crazy though. We enjoyed the free bread and butter while we waited. Bathrooms were very nice as well

Nice atmosphere and excellent service from our server Joshua, but our bowl & gumbo entree and two orders of BBQ shrimp were served barely warm. The fresh oysters, however, were amazing and we ordered another half dozen after our first dozen. My husband’s old fashion was also delicious!!
Sadly we received no special recognition, even though I noted in our reservation that we were celebrating a 60th anniversary and a 59th birthday.

I had not been to Mr Bs in over 10 years. I came back for the barbecue shrimp and pecan pie. The shrimp was amazing, I had to order more bread to enjoy the rest of the sauce. If they just offered the sauce with bread as an appetizer, I would orderit every time. And the pecan pie was delicious. I was a happy fat kid.

The BBQ Shrimp was one of the best dishes I have ever had. It was steeped in tradition and you can tell everything was done the old-school way, no corners were cut in the sauce preparation. Deep flavors and fresh caught shrimp and generous portion sizes. My wife and I split an order and it was plenty for a light lunch , 10/10 Must try if you are looking for an amazing experience. Live old timy jaz music at lunch only added to the amazing atmosphere. Our server Bryan was just the right blend of attentive and helpful.
All and all DON NOT MISS THIS PLACE!

Celebrated my wife’s birthday dinner here. I’d say the food is good but not mind blowing. It would be exceptional in any other city but I would say just above standard for New Orleans. Now the service was spectacular.

Visited Mr. B’s for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! We arrived early since we couldn’t get a reservation, and the staff kindly seated us at the bar so we could enjoy a lovely cocktail while we waited. We started with a bowl of gumbo and then had the grilled BBQ shrimp as our entrée, loved the addition of the bib! And of course, we finished with their famous chocolate cake. Already looking forward to returning!

Very modern, elegant environment. The balsamic used is the salad was the most tasty I’ve had for a while. Both the fish and duck entrées were very good. You have the same wait staff throughout the meal, which is not always the case in New Orleans. The price certainly reflected the quality.
