"First-timers must try the Gumbo Ya-Ya, a rich chicken and sausage gumbo."

Megan Romer

"Gumbo Ya-Ya, a house specialty, is actually a fairly straight-forward Cajun-style chicken and sausage gumbo, with a dark roux base, a big dose of the Cajun trinity (celery, bell pepper, and onion), and a heavy hand with Creole seasonings. It's simple and well-balanced, and the carefully-selected ingredients really shine.​"

"Mr. B’s Bistro makes a wonderful gumbo ya-ya with a dark-brown roux, generous pieces of roasted chicken and hunks of andouille, and a rich, spicy taste."

Beth D'Addono

"Mr. B's Gumbo Ya Ya is a must-slurp."

Sasha Savinov

"Gumbo is on the menu all over the Big Easy, but one of the best places to try it is at Mr. B’s Bistro."

Steven Luna

"Savor the country-style gumbo ya-ya at Mr. B’s. Loaded with chicken and andouille sausage, this sure-to-satisfy mix of roux, meats and vegetables forgoes the seafood elements for a version of gumbo that inspires those who taste it to search for the recipe. High praise indeed for some of the best food in New Orleans."

Ken Wells

"The most beautiful gumbo so far with an intense, almost mahogony dark roux with a medium thick consistency. Liberal amounts of andouille and chicken float in the succulent broth. The aroma is deliciously smoky with hints of pepper."

Ziggy U.

"The signature dish is the rich Gumbo Ya Ya. Dark buttery roux with chunks of chicken and Andouille sausages. Pretty pretty pretty good.”

Jonathan Cole

"The gumbo here is simple and uncomplicated. I loved the smoky flavor. The fresh baked French bread brought to the table in a paper sleeve to keep it warm is perfect for tearing and sopping up the velvety gumbo broth."

Jackie Sutherlin

"Mr. B’s Bistro’s has the most scrumptious gumbo in New Orleans."
