"In a city full of stiff restaurants, Mr. B’s is a refreshingly unserious place that takes its food and drinks seriously. This place fills the West Palm Beach restaurant void between uber-casual spots like The Brass Ring and more formal spots like Palm Beach Grill. This is tavern food, so we’re talking burgers, salads, wings, and steaks. But when the disco ball starts spinning along with the DJ on weekends, this place turns into a party. And it’s probably the only reason you might see a Palm Beacher leave the island (other than to go to the airport). Don’t mind them. They’re just here to eat fish dip and see what a Pabst Blue Ribbon tastes like. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so arrive early for a table at a bouncy booth under a giant wooden sawfish. photo credit: Ori Harpaz Food Rundown photo credit: Alissa Dragun French Onion Dip The hand-cut chips are the size and shape of sand dollars. And the onion dip is smooth and rich, but docile enough to not compromise a future makeout session with the person at the bar who bought you an old fashioned. video credit: Virginia Otazo Fried Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich We love the delicious chicken schnitzel at Mr. B’s sister restaurant, Kitchen. They have one here too, but this one arrives in sandwich form with a honey and hot sauce aioli for a sweet kick. A huge chunk of the crunchy chicken sticks out from the bun like it’s trying to hitch a ride home. photo credit: Virginia Otazo Crispy Eggplant “Burger” The fried eggplant is juicy, crunchy, and nearly thicker than the buns holding it together. It’s a bulbous sandwich. What it lacks in circumference, it makes up for in width and flavor. video credit: Virginia Otazo Mr. B’s Banana Pie If you’ve never tried Kitchen’s airy coconut cake, you can try it here. But (we can’t believe we’re saying this) the banana pie is even better. There’s at least a full-sized banana in this. The slices are layered on top of a crumbly crust and topped with fluffy whipped cream." - Virginia Otazo
