    Catfish, yams and collard greens
    Candace S.

    My mom and I went to Mr. B's Café during the week for lunch. There were only a couple other customers inside. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and spacious it was inside since it looks like such a small restaurant from the outside. We were also immediately greeted and had great service throughout our lunch. I had the fried catfish, yams and collard greens and sweet potato cheesecake for dessert. My mom had the fried grouper, yams and collard greens and peach cobbler for dessert. She also had fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. We both agreed that the food was good overall although it seems like the food could've been a little bit seasoned to really get the most out of the food. I would be open to returning to try their breakfast options.

    Glad we took that drive to Mr. B's off Nebraska... the vibe was giving comfort & community. Aesthetically pleasing, cute decor, and everyone was so warm. Our waiter? Sweet as honey. The owner? A whole vibe. We'll definitely be back. But baby... that plate? That smothered pork chop took me all the way back to my childhood, with my grandfather asking, "gravy or nah?" It looked like a Sunday plate from Big Mama's kitchen. Flavor on flavor on love.

    The southern soulfood here will certainly nourish you, it does for me especially MrB's chicken and waffles!!! I stopped in yesterday had time to make it for there special Red Velvet chicken and waffle! What a pure delight, the fullness of the waffle with the hot honey chicken tenders was delicious. (I'd buy two plates if you like leftovers) haha The waffles not flat but fluffed the chickens crispy and seasoned perfectly the flavor translates so nicely with their hot honey sauce! &' you will get the southern comfort hospitality each visit just like I have (: Fast Fresh and deliciously sweet food. Thank you for another plate MrB's! don't forget to try their honey cornbread

    Mac & Cheese wasn't my favorite but everything else was great!

    I visited Mr. B's for the first time when I was having a particularly bad day and coming here honestly filled my spirit, not only because of the yummy food but because of the old school gospel they have playing! Definitely filled my spirit and my tummy! The staff was helpful and polite and the decor and atmosphere made me feel like I was visiting grandma's house after church on Sunday. Everything tasted great so don't pass this one up!

    Great fried chicken, shrimp and grits. Don't forget the sweet potato cheesecake! Good food

    Before the Eagles game

    Came to Tampa for the Eagles vs Bucs game and found Mr. B's while searching for a Black-owned spot -- and I'm so glad I did. The service was on point and the food was even better. The cauliflower was fried up perfectly crunchy, the cornbread was soft, warm, and just the right amount of sweet, and the raspberry lemonade had that perfect balance -- sweet but not so much that it takes you into a sugar overload. And let me tell you, Mr. B's French toast? Thick, fluffy, and top tier. Not sure when I'll be back in Tampa, but whenever I do, Mr. B's is definitely on the list.

    Mr. B's is awesome! The staff at Mt. B's is welcoming, helpful and pleasant. The atmosphere is joyful because all of the employees are pleasant. I enjoyed the"Bee"licious food like chicken and waffles, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, collard greens and some cheesy mac n cheese. I even enjoyed sweet tea, Overall I enjoyed Mr. B.'s and can't wait to return and also try some desserts.

    I don't even know where to start with this review, from the ladies who took care of us to the…read moreINCREDIBLE shilah I ordered. For starters, we were greeted from our car as we were parking. As soon as I heard that, I knew we were in for a treat! Being welcomed in before even arriving is just hospitality at its finest. Onto the food. I ordered the Snow Crab shilah, and let me tell y'all, I've dreamt about it ever since. The flavors in every bite were incredible; I was so full after eating half, but I couldn't put it down it was THAT GOOD! Oh, and don't skip out on their lemonades, especially the Blue Mermaid! I'll be counting the days until I'm able to go back. The ladies I talked to there were lovely, the food incredible and deserving of every recognition. If you're in the area, check it out. If I lived closer, I'd be there near daily. 10/10, highly recommend!

I also bought a plate with rice and stewed turkey wings, Mac and cheese and greens. The greens and Mac and cheese was really good. However the rice and meat were a bit high on the sodium. I could not finish it. I would definitely like to try other things on the menu. I would definitely be back for the catfish and cornbread because that was a staple.

    We have been dying to try this place since we moved here. Today we tried and will most likely not…read morereturn. Pros: Staff was very friendly, although the counter style service is meh. The sausage was amazing. Unsweetened tea was good, as well as potato salad and beans. Cons: the ribs were very large, tender and had a great smoke flavor but that's it. They were pretty fatty, although still had a decent amount of meat. But there was no real flavor to the meat other than the "smoke". The brisket was tender also but flavorless. I tried both sauces. Both taste very ketchup based with the Hot just being super spicy. I mixed the sausage and brisket together to eat so it would help the brisket. The location is great and in walking distance in Ybor, from the trolly or locals. Little house like place with two tvs on. One playing sports while the other was playing some Jerry Springer style lame drama, and was plenty loud for us to hear. Overall, very disappointed. The Smoker was going and gave us high hopes but lack of flavor made for a very dull meal.

I'm telling you, you ain't had any BBQ till you have eaten here. We just spent some time in Nashville looking for good BBQ and we were a little disappointed. This place is AMAZING.... It's in a small house just off the street.... Keep looking, it's there! Trust me you won't be sorry!!! The sausage is unbelievable. Trust me. I can't say enough. Everyone in this place was friendly, accommodating, and really just awesome. Thank you guys for the unforgettable food!
