The BEST barbecue shrimp I’ve ever had. Nothing bad to say about this place at all, we loved our server Steven, he was so kind and gave us the best recommendations. The truffle fries weren’t too oily and had great flavour, the classic gumbo was nice and warm and very hearty. The star of the show was definitely the barbecue shrimp, not too heavy but the sauce was delicious, buttery and peppery and just perfect. The bread pudding was a great dessert, I would definitely recommend coming here. A great memory for our New Orleans trip!

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 ca

I came here to try the BBQ shrimp that I heard about and it did not disappoint. The sauce was absolutely delicious that I kept dipping more bread into it to soak it all up. The shrimp was a bit messy to eat but totally worth the effort. I did find the consistency of the shrimp not great as some shrimps were not cooked as well as others but it was overall still very good. I also tried the seafood gumbo which had a great color and flavor. They also have a great bloody Mary or margarita deal from Wednesday to Friday until 2pm where they are just $1.50 each!

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.
