Having been to Mr. B's dozens and dozens of times, I can't think of anything done well at that restaurant. Nothing is horrible but nothing is good. It's all just average food that isn't cheap. I always think about the time when my friend and I overheard two beautiful Swedish girls asking the doorman at The Monteleone where they should go for dinner. The doorman told them to go to Mr. B's. My friend walked up and said: I cannot let two ladies as beautiful as you eat at such a disgusting restaurant. We ended up taking them to GW Fins and made some new Swedish friends.



This should be the dumbest fricking thing I read this week.

Charley G's has a really good gumbo, as does Don's. I recently tried the seafood gumbo from the Chimes and was surprised by how good it was.

Seafood Palace in Lake Charles has a spot on seafood gumbo. Perfection.

really dark gumbos


Mr B’s mentioned above…last time I went (Covid times) I got the gumbo, and it was one of darkest I ever have.

Hard no for me.

The reason why is never a good at restaurants is. They make huge batches and take shortcuts to save time.
Meanwhile. Grammy spent half the day making her roux the perfect color. And hand assembled the entire dish.

Can I ask why you keep going there? Is it a business thing?
