"All-time French Quarter classic Mr. B’s Bistro is known for its Mr. B’s Coffee — served hot or cold (but especially delicious hot), it’s made with chicory coffee, Frangelico, and Nocello, and of course, topped with whipped cream." - Clair Lorell
"Served in their shells and doused in peppery, buttery gold, the head-on gulf shrimp from this classic Creole bistro are served with hefty slices of French bread for dipping." - Eater Staff
"Mr. B’s plans an a la carte Thanksgiving celebration, featuring the regular menu, along with dishes that will include a roast turkey option with all the trimmings, perhaps sausage and cornbread dressing, mashed sweet potatoes, haricots verts, cranberry relish, and gravy. Diehard fans can enjoy plates of the restaurant’s famous barbecue shrimp and bacon-wrapped shrimp and grits instead." - Beth D’Addono
"A beacon of hospitality and fine Creole cuisine, with some Cajun cooking in the mix, Mr. B’s has been true blue to Louisiana cuisine since Cindy Brennan opened the restaurant in 1979. Signature items include a glossy dark gumbo ya-ya, barbecue shrimp, wood-grilled local fish, and a luscious Creole bread pudding with whiskey sauce." - Beth D’Addono
"This longtime neighborhood bistro is known for its gumbo yaya, a Creole version through and through. Rich and dark and served strictly with chicken and andouille, it’s a taste of the real stuff." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
