Reviews for Mr B's Restaurant in Tampa, FL
Let me start by saying the place was SUPER CLEAN, had a great atmosphere with angelic Christian music playing in the background... tolerable for non-believers or believers. I had the shrimp and grits, greens and yams. The shrimp and grits were good, gritswere thin which didn't mesh well with the heavily seasoned sauce but the shrimp was cooked to perfection. I would order it withlittle sauce/gravy or atleast it on the side. Yams were boiled, slightly sweetened and chopped thickly, similar to canned yams.Greens were seasoned for the Gods though. Don't know if there was meat of any type in it but good none the less. Sweet Tea wasmeh, unappealing, slightly sweetened, wouldn't get it again. Staff was amazing. Checking on me just the right amount of times.Support small businesses!! Read more
My husband and I had the shrimp & grits and oxtails which were both amazing! We had the fried okra for an appetizer which were... also great. Not only is the food great but the staff and service was top tier as well! My husband and I greatly appreciated thehospitality. It?s a must to try their strawberry lemonade! Will definitely come back to support this restaurant in the nearfuture. Read more

I'm from out of town. Called a friend who previously lived in the area and got the recommendation. I was not disappointed.... Mistakenly, I got there about 30 min. before closing and was not rushed or pressured to eat and get out. Great food with goodsized portions. Excellent service. Would highly recommend! Read more
The okra was the bomb!! Macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and cornbread... Hitting hard!! The only thing I didn't like was... the pork chops and fish weren't seasoned. The batter and flavor on top of the meat was good, but the meat it self was justplain. Beautiful new server! The staff was super dope and friendly!! Definitely coming back the next time I come to Tampa! Theysaid they've been there for five years now. Read more
I can't rave about this food enough! My fiancee had the Oxtail with dirty rice. I had the pan-seared grouper. We had the fried... Green tomatos for an appetizer. I loved them despite not being fond of tomatos. This food in my opinion is as close toexcellent as you can get. The service was also top-notch. They were very attentive and made us feel like we were eating lunchon their home! You shouldn't settle for good food or good enough...food can be so much more and this is it! Side- note: the riceis spicy and I don't usually go for that much spice but I ate every bite! Also, the mango cheesecake is superb! Read more
This is an absolute must in this neighborhood. Shrimp and Grits are in my top 3 and I've tried this dish across many states. The... Chicken n Waffles were great, brining the Chicken overnight in buttermilk or some other solution would take this to over thetop tender, that being said this was seasoned and breaded perfectly. The Waffle was the perfect compliment with the syrup. TheMac n Cheese was very good, would fool me if this is not home made, needed more cheesiness A few things; check on your guests atleast once, I had to ask for water twice and that can't be the norm. Upon exiting say something, thanks for coming, how was yourdish. Read more
A great black-owned breakfast restaurant! Before heading back to Atlanta, I was craving shrimp and grits - at this point, I?m... just on the hunt for the best one in the south - and I had to try it in Tampa. Mr B?s has its home-comfort vibe from food todecor, to even the owner and waiters? hospitality. What I appreciated the most is that the shrimps were tail-off. That enoughgets an extra star. Read more
