Brennan's owned...NUFF SAID! From the moment you walk in the door, the ambiance screams classic New Orleans. This was another one on my "NOLA Must Try List" and my only regret was waiting so long to make it happen. My party went with: - BBQ Shrimp (A Mr. B's Classic) Gulf shrimp barbequed New Orleans style served in the shells in a peppery butter sauce, French bread to dip) - Pasta Jambalaya Gulf shrimp, Andouille sausage, duck & chicken, tossed with spinach fettuccine in a rich buttery sauce - Bacon Wrapped Shrimp & Grits, Applewood smoked bacon wrapped jumbo Gulf shrimp creamy stone ground yellow grits, with red eye gravy. And all of these I would order again, but as far as the BBQ Shrimp...it is probably the best I have ever had! Ask for Stephanie...she did an amazing job serving us. Hit up Mr B's...and you will make it a regular stop in your NOLA food rotation. read more

We came here for an early dinner and had a wonderful and humorous waiter. I believe his name is Terrence. He gave us some great suggestions when we were stuck between a few dishes. Their complementary bread is amazing. It's crisply lined with soft fluffiness on the inside. I would prefer a different butter though. Terrence recommended the duck spring rolls and the rib dense but really tasty along with an amazing sauce. I had the fish while my husband had the pasta. The noodles use for the pasta is spinach based. Both are really good. I really enjoyed the citrus touch in the two different flavors used for my fish. I enjoyed my tea and I wish there was more of it and less of ice. We walked here from our hotel by the sport stadium. read more

Mr. B's Bistro was absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the service was wonderful from start to finish. We arrived around 5:00, and by 6:00 the restaurant was completely full..which says a lot! We started with the duck spring roll and Gumbo Ya Ya, followed by the honey ginger-glazed pork chop, soft-shell crab, and redfish en papillote. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. We finished with the lemon icebox pie and pecan pie, and both were excellent. A wonderful New Orleans dining experience with great food, beautiful surroundings, and exceptional service! read more

I found Mr. B's Bistro while searching for places to eat in New Orleans, and their famous BBQ shrimp immediately caught my attention. As a prawn lover, I knew I had to try them! We made a reservation for a Monday evening, and I was honestly so surprised by how busy it was. The restaurant was packed! There were people on dates, business dinners, and groups, and it was just great to see such a busy and lively atmosphere at the beginning of the week. Our waiter, Kirk, was really friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He gave us some great recommendations on what to try. We loved all the dishes we ordered. We started with the Apple & Prosciutto Salad and the famous BBQ Shrimp. The BBQ shrimp definitely lived up to the hype and was one of the highlights for me! For our mains, we had the Pan-Seared Grouper and American Red Snapper. The red snapper was another one of my favorites and tasted delicious. We finished with the cinnamon apple cake for dessert, which was the perfect way to finish dinner. Overall, everything we tried was delicious, and the service was great. We will definitely be coming back to Mr. B's Bistro next time we're in NOLA! read more

Mr. B's Bistro...incredibly. Had a great Sunday Brunch...10:30am, I highly recommend you make reservations for any dinner or Sunday Brunch. Beautiful and historic restaurant...I just so happen to sit at the Ronald Reagan table! For starters the Gumbo Ya Ya and Bistro Caprese Salad...this is a great way to start your Brunch...with a Mimosa and Brandy Milk Punch. The Brandy Milk Punch is like a vanilla shake (melted). Sooooo good. Our server was exceptional and very helpful in recommending which dish to order if we were on the fence. For Brunch we ordered the Pork tenderloin, with two eggs and potatoes. The tenderloin was perfectly seasoned and prepared at the correct temperature...a must have. But even better was the Eggs Blackstone! Comes with a creole hollindandaise. A step up from the Eggs Benedict. For dessert...yes dessert, we had the best ever Pecan Pie with vanilla ice cream. Perfectly heated pie went well with the ice cream. Also the Lemon Ice Box Pie...a step up from key lime pie. This restaurant is one of those "must go to restaurants" down in the French Quarter. read more

Mr. B's decor has not changed in years, this is not a bad thing. It's warm and vibrant. The tables are too close together. It feels like they are trying to cram as many diners as possible into a space and this detracts from the atmosphere. The wait staff has difficulty maneuvering between the tables. The food has been dumbed down for tourist. The gumbo ya ya (missing okra) had a rich, dark color which seemed promising. Our waiter preemptively brought over Tabasco and Crystal Hot Sauce. Boy, did it need it. It also needed to have the chicken in smaller pieces. One would need to cut up the large hunks of chicken to properly eat it. The chicken was tough and added nothing. It should be smoked chicken. The sausage was mushy. Skip the gumbo. The crab cake was ok. The sauce with it was devoured of all flavor. They need to ramp it up! The petite salad even lacked flavor in the dressing. The truffle fries were good French fries. The pieces of garlic are nice. The massive shreds of cheese are unnecessary and add nothing to the fries other than color contrast. Ask for ketchup with them. The Barbecue Shrimp were normally a highlight. This time a disappointment. The butter sauce needed much more Worcestershire sauce and lemon. It had no spice. It feels as though Mr. B's is pandering to tourist on bus tours or cruise ship excursions. The food hints at cuisine that used to be great, but is only ok now. Will not be returning for a long time. read more

Very upscale. Our hostess seated us promptly. Our server Yuliya was prompt in getting our drink selections. We had been waiting for Mr. B's to open. We had come here for our Anniversary. We ordered a crab cake to share as an appetizer. Hubby said not as good as Maryland crab cakes! I thought it was quite delightful. He had the Jambalaya. I had the Gumbo Ya Ya. Both were delicious. We would diffenitly be back if we come to New Orleans. read more

The website said I didn't need a reservation but when I walked in at 7:30pm on a Thursday it was packed! Thankfully they allow full service at the bar if you can find an empty stool. I had two cocktails (pear cosmo and a Mandarin blood orange margarita) which were good and a fabulous dinner my last night in New Orleans. I had the honey glazed ginger pork chop and I am drooling over it weeks later! Highly recommend Mr B's Bistro if you're in the French Quarter! read more

Want the perfect brunch spot in the French Quarter? Mr. B's Bistro is it. Make a reservation on Open Table for any given Sunday and go. The Jazz Brunch has a trio that plays live music that tours around the dining room for everyone to enjoy. Everything on the menu is fantastic from the warm French bread, gumbo, wood grilled fish of the day to dessert like pecan pie and top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The mimosas are fantastic and so is the French Quarter branded coffee. Eat local, Enjoy! read more

A classic table cloth establishment in the New Orleans French Quarter serving up elevated Southern dishes. I got the bacon-wrapped shrimp and grits. To start, we got a bag of po boy bread to tear into. Light, flakey, and ready to be a vessel for butter. The shrimp and grits themselves were delightful! Well seasoned and bundled up in fried pork belly, the shrimp was a great complimentary bite to the warm, creamy grits. I slurped up every last drop and could've had more. Service was traditional with a bit of sass. Our waitress was enthusiastic and well acquainted with the menu. Ambiance was great. Elevated, wood-accented, and not too stuffy. An excellent staple to the NOLA food scene read more

The best place for dinner in the French Quarter! This resturant is literally steps away from the Hotel Montelone, so it is truly a French Quarter gem. We made reservations for 5, right when they open for dinner. We were greeted and seated immediately. We were dressed for an upscale restaurant while others were dressed in jeans, so I don't think they are strict on a dress code. When we're were seated by our host, our server came right out and got our drink order. I didn't drink but my friend got a glass of white wine, and she said it was delicious. When he brought out the wine, he brought a sleeve of a loaf of bread. I didn't love this presentation and the fact that we had to cut our own bread, it wasn't already cut for us. It also wasn't steaming hot, like you would expect bread to be. We weren't fans of the bread, but we ate it because we were hungry. For appetizers, we got truffle fries and the pork belly bites. These are the best truffle fries I have EVER had. It was a HUGE serving of fries and tons of delicious-ness. People at other tables saw our fries and immediately ordered some for their table. I am still dreaming about these true truffle fries. The pork belly bites were also perfect and I could have had another three servings of those. The pork belly bites are a smaller portion. For an entree, I got the chicken and my friend got the barbecue shrimp and grits. My entree was huge and I could only take a few bites. My friend devoured hers because she said it was so good. The enteee come out on a plate with a lid and they lift it for you! We had to get dessert, so we got the bread pudding. It was a huge piece of bread with delicious rum like sauce over it. We somehow ate it because it was so good but we were so full. This place is so convient, clean and has a great amount of options at great prices. Will always be a consideration for me when I go to NOLA! read more

We came from sf Bay Area to try Mr. B's Bistro. We had a party of 12. Our server was great! His name was Steven. We had a couple of old fashions, lemon drops, and water. The bread came out warm and was delicious. I had the filet, but it came out cold and the taste was just ok. It had a different taste. I wouldn't order again. My husband had the crab and corn soup.. he said it was ok. I tased the soup and it wasn't hot. My father in law had the pork chop. It was dry. Our friends had the shrimp and grits. They loved it. All in all, the server was great , the ambiance was great, but the food was just ok. My father in laws pork chop was also not very warm. I understand we had a big party, but the food needs to be warm. Experience was ok. I wouldn't go back. read more

I always enjoy my time at Mr. B's, and this visit was no exception. I stopped in for a solo date before heading to a show at The Saenger Theater. I arrived around 5:40 p.m. on a Saturday because I wanted to sit at the bar. While the bar was already packed, I was seated immediately at a table for one. I ordered the same items as my last visit, and everything was just as good as I remembered. The pear cosmo was perfectly balanced, the fried oysters were crisp and flavorful, and the bacon-wrapped shrimp and grits were rich and satisfying. Service was fast and friendly, which made the experience even better. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and hopefully I'll snag a seat at the bar next time. read more

First off - this is a great place for fine dining! The staff were excellent. Kaleb was our waiter and he was honest, funny and great. We loved getting to know him. We had a reservation for 8 so definitely get a reservation because it was packed on a Saturday night. The ambiance was beautiful and elegant. Expect a long dinner because this is fine dining and so food will come out slower than a casual restaurant in the French Quarter. The food is where I took off a Star. I'll start with the good: -The duck spring rolls - 5/5! Must try! -The bbq shrimp - 5/5 - OMG so delicious! The sauce was so flavorful and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. -The trout entree- amazing! Delicious! Well seasoned and cooked. -The duck entree - my favorite other than the bbq shrimp. It was so tender and melts in your mouth. What I didn't like at all: the seafood gumbo. Very very bitter. Everyone at the table who tried it agreed with me. It was awful and the worst I had. I sent it back and luckily wasn't charged for it. Overall- the dinner was fantastic! read more

Mr. B's Bistro - Seafood gumbo - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Mr. B's is amazing. I always come here when I am in NOLA. The gumbo yaya has the darkest roux--it provides so much flavor to the gumbo. They cooked it right to the point where it was about to burn, providing a dark rich toasty flavor to the gumbo. I also had the American Red Snapper and the bread pudding. The red snapper was great, but I think I liked the BBQ shrimp better from last time. The only thing dish that I would rate lower than exceptional was the bread pudding. It had a good texture, but needed more flavor. Definitely a fully five-star restaurant. read more

Based on a friend's recommendation, we headed to Mr B's on Saturday night... Seated with reservations immediately (a good sign!) Ordered the pear cosmo and an old fashion. Both strong offerings from the bar. But the drink winner was the non-alcoholic lux dreamsicle. Duck spring rolls as an appetizer was great! Entries: * shrimp and grits - sent back 1) cold - shrimp and grits were both cold and inedible * filet mignon - perfectly prepared, potatoes were good as week. Spinach was eh (flavorless mush) * honey ginger glazed pork chop - 1) dry. Ordered medium (as recommended) and it was over cooked Dessert: Spiced orange cheesecake - cake was good, but the sauce was odd. Easy to scrape away. Again, Brennan's management group is either all too familiar with food not coming from the kitchen as ordered and doesn't seem to care. No one from management came to our table to try to repair the situation... and our guest who ordered the shrimp and grits went to bed hungry. read more

We booked our Thanksgiving dinner at Mr. B's back in September, and it was absolutely worth the planning. Our 6pm reservation was confirmed the day before, and when we walked in at 5:53, we were seated immediately at the most perfect corner table where we could see the entire restaurant, we even sat beside the little Ronald Reagan plaque, which made us feel extra special. Our waiter, Logan, was a young, funny, incredibly hardworking server who never stopped moving. Every staff member was smiling, hustling, and managing a completely packed dining room with a line out the door, yet no one ever made us feel rushed. Logan was phenomenal full of personality, thoughtful suggestions, and truly exceptional service. My boyfriend and I shared the seafood gumbo, and the kitchen split it into two cups for us, which was such a considerate touch. It had a serious kick and ended up being the best gumbo of our entire trip. We also shared the pork loin and the turkey dinner from the Thanksgiving menu, swapping sweet potatoes for Yukon potatoes. My boyfriend swore it was the best stuffing he's ever had, and the turkey was so moist with fantastic gravy we cleaned our plates. He enjoyed two Old Fashioneds, and I had a pear cosmo; the glass was a little warm from fast dish turnover, but honestly everything else was so great it barely mattered. Even though I have dairy and chocolate allergies and we were already stuffed, Logan still brought out the sorbet so I could enjoy a safe dessert and he was right. It was heaven. Truly the perfect ending to a perfect holiday meal. Make the reservation; this NOLA classic has its reputation for a reason. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Mr. B's, upon the recommendation of chef at another NOLA eatery as he raved about the snapper, which I had and would order again next time. It was delicious. The chocolate molten cupcake was also notable, a fantastic dessert. The ambience is nice, old-school high end restaurant and reservations should be made well in advance as they book up fast. We got lucky as we were put on their list the day before, then got notification an opening became available for the time we wanted which was 5:45pm on a Saturday. Although there were many casual-nice dressed people, including us, as we arrived before 6pm, most patrons were dressed very nice, especially people arriving past 7pm--many men in coats, women in dresses. read more

When I lived in the U.S. full time (Tampa) I flew to New Orleans at least once a year just to eat if I didn't have business there. The last time I went was 2022...the year I moved abroad. As a nomad I am frequently in Pensacola as my parents are retired there and now my son goes to school there...only a 3 hour drive. So since I'm back in the U.S. at the end of my Airbnb season (July & August) I took a Last min trip to NOLA for my Leo Bday because I had a taste for BBQ shrimp. My fave NOLA dish that I must have every visit. In case you've never had it, it's not Barbecue Sauce nor are these shrimp grilled. They are bathed in Butter, Abita beer and black pepper. The Brennan's version is a bit sweeter than the original Pascal's Manale version (also a must try when in Nola) but Brennan's might be my fave. I was sad back in 2022 when I found Bourbon House stopped carrying it. Sadly Palace Cafe (the first place I ever had Bbq shrimp closed down just a week before my BDay! Thankfully Brennan's still serves my fave at Mr. Bs! Mr. B's is your traditional New Orleans white table cloth restaurant that you can be as dressed or as casual as you like. You'll be treated with white table cloth service no matter what. You can get all your NOLA faves here. We got gumbo, garlic truffle fries, oyster bake and my BBQ shrimp. For dessert we have bread pudding. All delicious. I highly recommend Mr. B's and really any of the Brennan's family restaurants. Writing this review makes me want to take a 3 hour drive to NOLA now! Our server was attentive and made my special day read more

I would really give Mr. B's a 4.5 but the service made this with 5 stars. The food is truly delicious. We had a larger party so many dinner options were tried. From the pork tenderloin, bone in pork chop, steak, and BBQ shrimp, eta, we chowed down on some delicious Cajun treats! This is my 2nd time here and love BBQ shrimp, they are so good but I can't help but taste a tad of bleach, both times I've tried them. Even so, they are good served with crusty bread for dipping....nom nom nom Service was attentive and friendly during this very busy dinner service. It gets a little loud but that doesn't bother me at all. It's a great atmosphere and building. read more

I've eaten here before and it was excellent, so I was embarrassed when a friend from out of town wanted to treat me to dinner and I recommended it. It feels more touristy. The ya ya gumbo was almost BLACK, the roux was so dark. He took one spoonful and couldn't eat it. The server took it away. When the bill came I asked if she charged for the gumbo. He said she did. And "either she hasn't been trained not to charge for something that was sent back, or she's been trained TO charge". My crawfish risotto was good but not great. Wedge salad needed blue cheese dressing and not vinaigrette. Only a tiny spoonful of blue cheese on it. Husband's redfish was overcooked and not warm. Coffee was not hot. Bread very good. Overall very subpar for a restaurant of this quality. read more

Had a wonderful experience here. Inside was buzzing and fun while StPaddy's day revelers drifted by the windows in a Bourbon Street type chaos! Service was fantastic, a very experienced person who lit up to share favorite dishes and recommendations. The seafood gumbo is deep, dark and rich with a prevailing flavor of file. The server recommended the red fish, blackened with crab. Elegant with the spirit of NO ringing through. read more

We dined at Mr. B's in New Orleans recently as a family and had a fabulous dining experience. Our waiter, Rashid, was a great guide through the menu. We tried the BBQ shrimp and egg rolls for appetizers, both of which were fabulous and so tasty. For a main, I had the beef short rib, which was so delicious.

We had so many great meals in NoLa and it came down to favorite dishes at this place. At Mr. B's, the crabcakes and the cocktails won the show.

My DH and I are in New Orleans celebrating our 30th anniversary. We chose Mr. B's for dinner on the Monday night of our visit after friends recommended it. We had a reservation and we were seated quickly. Our server was Kagnee and she took our order. We started with Champagne (me) and a Mr. B's Old Fashioned along with the Crispy Fried Oysters and a Baby Iceberg Salad. The oysters were heavily breaded and had an odd flavor, so we had one each and then decided not to have any more. My DH enjoyed his Baby Iceberg Salad. Our entrees were the Trout Amandine and the Filet Mignon. For dessert we opted for the Galette de Rois which we were told had just been added to the menu. After talking about it, we would say the Baby Iceberg Salad was the highlight of this meal. read more

I walked out of the cold and into Mr. B's on a Sunday afternoon after the brunch crowd had left. It was one of the most positive, uplifting dining experiences I've had in a while. The bar was full except for a few seats occupied by handbags (rude!) so my friend and I snagged the snug corner stools facing the window and it was the best spot to have a cozy conversation on a very cold day. The service was exceptional, especially after experiencing the catch-me-if-you-can service at The Carousel Bar. We had a couple glasses of wine and the barbequed shrimp but here's why my visit to Mr. B's outshined the rest: 1.A bar where everyone knows your name, or at least I felt that way. The bar staff were personable, laid back and willing to joke around with the patrons. No one felt rushed and locals mixed with visitors, no problem. 2.The vibe is upscale-down home, and you feel it when you walk in. I wore my best and was glad I did but every single person working there treated me as if they were happy to see me and I felt like a VIP. 3. The food is unforgettable, so much so that I mourned the loss of three convention days in which I could have been saddled up at Mr. B's Bistro wearing a bib and licking barbecue butter off my fingers with no shame. read more

In our recent trip to NOLA, unexpectedly we tried Mr B's and loved the food. Me and my friend had made a reservation for dinner in some other place, on our way we saw Mr Bs, and for weekday there were so many people dining in, then we went to the place we made reservations and there were not 20% capacity, so we decided to cancel our reservations and try Mr B, were able to get seated as soon we checked in, place looks more like those formal dining, ambience is simple yet elegant. our server was friendly at first, as we had eaten beignets couple of hours before(cafe du monde), we were not hungry for appetizers, especially me as I had overeaten beignets, so me n my friend told him the same and orders the entree, we both ordered wood grilled fish, me with potatoes instead of pecan popcorn rice and lemon butter sauce, my friend with Creole Meunière. After our order we dint see our server at all, all the tables were getting bread, I wasn't hungry so I dint care, but my friend had to flag him down and ask for it, that's when he brought, he was enthusiastic at the beginning but after our order completely off and ignored, my friend felt it's because we just ordered entree, no appetizers or drinks(we had planned for bar hopping on bourbon st, so decided not to have drinks at the dinner), but I dunno what happened It took more than 40ish mins to get our dish, but it was so good, fish was cooked so perfectly, simple seasoning yet delicious, vegetables were cooked perfectly too, it was so good, I dint even bother to use my lemon butter sauce, and the dish definitely made up to bad service and wait time, definitely try them and definitely get that fish. read more

We got the duck spring rolls and they were definitely worth the hype. We also got the gumbo yaya and we did not like it. I think it's a personal preference. We do not like the dark roux. I got a mocktail But for $12 NO alcohol. Would not get again. Not worth it. 90% ice. Also.. did not get what I asked for. The service was great when the guy was there. But he took a really long time to come back in between checking on us. The place was pretty crowded. You have to kind of scrooge your chair in so people can get around you and it was pretty loud. But for a Thursday night, you could still hear your party. It was only three of us. The bathrooms are really nice. They're down the stairs. All in all. We would come back again. read more

Mr. B's has been one of our favorite New Orleans restaurants for the past 20 years. Love the fun and friendly vibe and service, especially at the bar (thanks Chad!) Wevalways get the Barbecued shrimp - the sauce is amazing! Served with a loaf of bread for dipping up all the deliciousness, and a bib! The fried oysters and crispy outside, tender inside, and new favorite is the fried green tomatoes with crawfish on top; wow! Great flavor, crispy cornmeal crust: so good. Royal salad is good; we usually like the gumbo ya ya, but it wasn't as good this time; the couple next to us who were locals thought the same. That's ok; everything else was spot on. We bought their cookbook almost 20 years ago and have made dozens of their recipes, but even better to enjoy them in the heart of the French Quarter at Mr. B's! read more
