Ok, I arrived right off the plane in the morning, so you know I had my heart and head set on them shrimp and grits. Off top the hostess was hella sweet and welcomed me in. As a solo traveler, I sat at the bar. It gives a party vibe so the music was bumping and the vibes were high AF. The bartender was really nice too and within 5 minutes of ordering there was a heaping plate of shrimp and grits in front of me. Let me explain that them folks down in NOLA can cook and them cooks at B SPOT were no different. I had to pace myself so I didn't just inhale the plate. The flavor was great, so much so that I skipped my normal hot saucing. However, I wanted the grits to be a bit smoother and a little hotter. And I would have loved to get maybe 2 more shrimp (we can always use more shrimp) though the four I got were big and delicious. Much to the bartenders dismay, I ordered coffee instead of a cocktail. What can I say, I'm a sober sista, and as a solo traveler that suits me well. Gotta stay alert in the Big EASY! And might I say, the coffee was GREAT! I remember tasting it and saying "Dang this some good a$$ coffee" to myself. For a trip that's about food...oh and Mardi Gras, I'm off to a great start!! read more

Let me start with the service! Crazy busy but the wait staff was kind and didn't make us seem rushed. We lucked up because we didn't have to wait too long. Stories have been told about lines around the corner but not this particular day. I was running late and by the time I arrived most of our wait was over. The guy who waited on us was good, he piece milled out flights to the table to keep from over crowding the table. The food, lord just writing about the oxtails and grits make me want to go get oxtails to put over grits! They were fabulous. The place is a real vibe, tasteful music playing, the decor is on point and again the staff adds to the place and doesn't take away like some spots. If you are in town for a visit this is a must stop. Thank me later. Oh and the drinks are worth the $$ read more

Shoutout to this black owned spot with delicious food options! I went for a group event (that filled the building) and the staff worked super hard to make sure that we had what we needed. The food was extremely tasty and served in huge portions..I was impressed. I had the blackened fish and grits, a must try. The space is adorned with cute B- themed items and even swings to use "at your own risk", lol. Poses only. I'm not going to lie...I was dying of smoldering heat. I can't imagine how hot it gets in there when it's hot outside :-/ And, the ventilation is very, very poor. I walked out smelling like a fryer, and my hair smelled like fried food until I washed it. They really need to work on making the actual space more comfortable, because the food truly is delicious and has a great value. read more

LE-ROOOOOOOY omg everyone this a PSA for the enjoyment of one of Gods gifts. The FOOD WAS SIMPLY AMAZING. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't try the oxtail and grits and Leroy the sweetest waiter this side of the waters said I got you and he did not disappoint. He suggested the krabby Bee and my taste buds are doing flips. The dish was seasoned to perfection. The fish was fried better than ya mama's. The ambience and vibes were 10/10. I give BSpot a 15/10 overall. The chef did their thing now I have to try their new restaurant Lotus. read more

Words CANNOT express how much I enjoyed B Spot NoLa and LEROY! Leroy' service was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. His recommendations were SPOT ON! The salmon bites and catfish were fried to perfection. The grits were creamy and perfected with the addition of Gouda cheese. The Bee themed decor was so cute and aestically pleasing. Plenty of street parking. If you choose to come here, you will not be dissapointed read more

B Spot in New Orleans has a lot of potential, but there are definitely some areas that need attention. The decor is super cute and well thought-out, which made for a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was just okay--nothing special. The mimosas were served warm (not ideal), but at least they were pretty. Service was underwhelming, and the coffee tasted like instant, which is disappointing for a sit-down restaurant. Plates were chipped, and while the silverware came in a cute paper bag, it felt a little too casual for the experience they're trying to offer. Also, be aware that you're only allowed 90 minutes at your table, and a 20% gratuity is automatically added--even if the service doesn't quite earn it. Parking is a hassle, so plan ahead. Overall, it's a mixed bag--there's good and bad--but with some improvements, B Spot could really shine. I'm rooting for them to tighten things up and become great! read more

B Spot Nola - Jerk/ Hawaiian chicken wings (it was weird) The bacon was good. Lobster and grits not pictured was also good but not great! - Soul Food Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A big shoutout to the chef for the delicious food! Every dish was incredible . The B-Urger was huge, flavorful, and juicy. You absolutely have to try the truffle fries; they may be simple, but they're packed with flavor. We devoured the spinach dip with fresh tortilla chips, & the Big Buzz Chicken wingz were perfectly crispy. The shrimp & grits were also filling and hit the spot. I highly recommend the Mimosa flight, which is served on a cute tower. We also enjoyed the Lemon Drop flight, which was vibrant and tasty! Our server kindly treated us to a shot on the house, which was a nice surprise. The atmosphere was lively, featuring talented live music from a saxophonist. The ambiance was vibrant with good vibes all around. It was packed both inside & outside, which speaks volumes about the place! read more

I visited on a Friday a for lunch. I made reservations and paid a $25 deposit. Be careful with this because the fee was not deducted from my bill as stated. By the time I remembered I had already swiped my card. When I told the server she said let me call "her" and see. She then showed me a screen that said return deposit and said I'd receive an email. Also be aware that the gratuity is automatically added. My server conveniently left this out while going over my items before I paid. I ignorantly tipped another 20%. The place is smaller than i thought. It seemed cramped. The music was nice. We ordered a lavender mocktail, blueberry lemon drop and two waters to start. The glass sizes are small! Including the water!! We needed several water refills due to the small cups. For appetizers we had salmon bites and seafood dip. Both were pretty good. The seafood dip had a nice flavor but the temperature was lukewarm. It would've been amazing if it was hot! For entrees we had the lobster and grits w/ crawfish cream sauce and the Snapper with rice and crawfish cream sauce. The crawfish cream was good, I didn't care for the lobster or snapper. They both had a fishy taste and could've used more seasoning. read more

B Spot Nola - Krabby Bee - Soul Food Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The vibe alone has this place as a top brunch spot. Very cute place to dress up and take pictures with the girls for brunch. From the minute you sit down at the table your time starts. You have a time limit. The waitress pops up at the table and tells you everyone has to order at the same time. They dont give you much time to look over the menu. (Please look over it a head of time) Literally the only down fall. Food came out really fast and hot. We ordered the shrimp and grits, gumbo, spinach dip and breakfast sandwich. Everything was amazing cant wait to go back read more

Came here around lunch time. We started off with some appetizers. The spinach dip was lukewarm. It could have been a little hotter. The salmon bites were pretty good. Let's get into the entrees. I had the red snapper which was pretty good. The water comes in very small glasses which causes the waiter to make frequent trips to your tables. It's very small and the parking is hit or miss. read more

The food was delicious and I would say for the prices; the portion sizes were great! With the shrimp and grits it would have been nice to have a few more shrimp. The salmon bites were so delicious; flaked in your mouth! The dip was also tasty! We had a great waiter who was friendly! The ambiance of the restaurant is really cute with the Bee theme. They should use more AC bc it was pretty hot after a while. Wait time wasn't bad but we also didn't go on the weekend. They should definitely consider talking reservations. read more

I came here a while back on a Saturday afternoon. We were the only patrons in the restaurant- likely because it was about an hour before closing time before we arrived. I wish we'd arrived early because though the service was kind- we still felt very rushed. I had a pretty mocktail and my friends had regular cocktails. We ordered an appetizer and I had the catfish and grits for my entree. It was really tasty and the serving size was huge. The decor is trendy and bright with cute Bee themed motifs and such. Overall, my experience was dampened by the closing time activities of the staff but I would return at an earlier hour. read more

Went in with a group of five and didn't have to wait. The service was quick and polite and all of our food came out hot and delicious as always. It's super cute in there with all the different bee themed and yellow throughout the restaurant if you uptown definitely put this on your list read more

If you're looking for brunch with a full-on club vibe and ubiquitous grass wall as you enter, The B Spot on Calhoun is the place. Food was tasty with solid portion sizes, but the prices add up quick--every little extra is another $5-10. Drinks? Let's just say the Beyoncé was memorable. The dry ice gimmick made it bubble, but the bartender's heavy pour made it too strong (and I didn't think that was possible). Biggest drawback: the volume. It was so loud my friends and I could barely hear each other. Overall, if brunch + party energy is your thing, this spot delivers. For me, though, it's a one-time experience, not a regular go-to. read more

Visiting NOLA for Essence Festival Weekend, and this spot came highly recommended by my frat brother who's local--and even by celebrity Kandi! I kept it simple with the chicken and waffles, and let me tell you, they were top tier. I also had the Mimosa Tower, which came with four different flavors--each one better than the last. It was the perfect vibe for some quality bonding time with my two line brothers. Great food, great company--I'll definitely be back!" read more

Let's get the critiques out the way . The hostess misled us about seating . She over-promised a large party table and didn't deliver. Oh well, that's her. Let's get to the positive . The food is bomb! Delicious. Fresh. Flavored. Seasoned. Blessed. I took it light and ordered the Not Arugula salad because I'm eating heavier later, but I tasted the grits and catfish. If you order this, add crab meat and ask for your feta cheese separately. They are quite generous with it. You MUST get both catfish and grits. Everyone raved about the fried shrimp, too. I am coming back. read more

B Spot Nola - Oxtail w Grits - Soul Food Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

See all

Our waitress was friendly and upfront about the house rules: two-card max, mandatory 20% gratuity shared with the house, plus an optional extra tip for the server. Prices ran a little steep for a neighborhood spot, but the menu was tempting. I ordered the seafood platter, oxtails with brown gravy and grits, and a cup of gumbo--all out fast and piping hot. The gumbo was excellent--flavorful, not too thick, loaded with sausage and a meatball-textured mystery meat. 10/10. The seafood platter was a standout too--jumbo shrimp and catfish strips, perfectly battered, crispy, and well-seasoned. 10/10. The oxtails were the weak link--tough, not tender--and the grits were lumpy instead of creamy. Underwhelming at 6/10. The spiked strawberry lemonade arrived "smoking" with dry ice--sweet, fun, and very New Orleans. Our waitress made the experience--personable, taught us the local "bye-bye," and kept the energy up. One odd note: plastic cutlery at $30 a plate. The double-tipping setup--mandatory 20% plus an expectation for more--felt a little awkward. We added 15% anyway. First day out of town, good meal, solid service. Bottom line: worth a visit. Great gumbo and seafood, friendly service--just skip the oxtails and grits. read more

First off, I would like to say that the food and service at B Spot were 5 stars. We had a great server. We came on a Saturday around 11-12 o'clock and were told that we would have a wait of 30 minutes, so we went right next door to Petit Rouge Coffee Shop. Amazing service and coffee, by the way! Thankfully, a few tables emptied out at B Spot, and we were able to be seated in about 15 minutes. Our server was polite and helpful with the explanation of menu items. Kudos to him! We ordered the spinach dip for our appetizer, and I ordered the shrimp and grits while my wife ordered the fish and grits. We received our appetizers and entrées extremely quickly. Everything was hot and flavorful. I definitely recommend the shrimp and grits! My only two criticisms were the prices of the food and the automatic 20% gratuity that is applied to every check for parties of more than one. We paid $25 for each of our entrées and $14 for our appetizer. The price point at B Spot hovers in the expensive range, and that, along with the automatic gratuity, which wasn't explained to us, left a bad taste in our mouths. But again, the food was great, the portion size was good, and the service was excellent. I would really just like to see food prices not tip into the fine dining arena when the establishment is not a fine dining restaurant. The total for our food, with automatic gratuity and only drinking water, was $82.50. We will not be returning to B Spot again as we just cannot see ourselves paying that amount for brunch without even ordering alcoholic drinks. read more

B Spot Nola - Swarming Shrimp N Grits Fly Fish N Grits Stinging Spinach Dip - Soul Food Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We found out about B Spot through tik tok reels and had to check them out for brunch. B Spot did not disappoint!!! The music and vibes were great. Every table was packed so that's always a good sign when trying out a spot. The establishment is cute and although not as large as you expect, the wait time was not terribly long. We only waited half a hour for a table of 4. I ordered the grandma's gumbo, which came with a side of fried fish & grilled cheese . The gumbo was very flavorful & seasoned well. The crab in the gumbo definitely was on point . The fried fish was crispy and fresh how I like it & the grill cheese complimented the gumbo. I've never had this combination but so glad I tried it. My husband ordered the Deep fried lamb chops which came with breakfast potatoes and scrambled eggs. The fried lamb chops were delicious!! I would definitely reccomend both brunch dishes. Our waitress was super friendly and our service was great . read more

When we arrived we were told there was a 45 minute wait so we knew to pack our patience. Much to our surprise we only waited about 20 minutes. The ambiance is cool with all of the "Bee" features. The music was a vibe with a live saxophonist, though a bit loud so it's hard to have a conversation. It was extremely packed which equated to HOT! When you walk towards the back of the restaurant where the restrooms were, it was nice and cold. Once seated we were informed to use the QR code to pull up the menu. We ordered the salmon bites for starters. I had the lamb chops with the honey garlic sauce and my partner had the oxtails and grits. Considering how packed they were, the food was extremely hot when it was brought out and it was brought out very quickly. It was all very good! Side Note: Almost everything is fried (lamb, lobster,etc.). The oxtails were smothered. The lamb was a little "gamy" but they were good. Also, the sauce saturated the plate which seems like a waste of product plus I wanted to eat my arugula but it was too saucy. My partner also ordered the honeycomb margarita. It wasn't bad.....a bit too sweet for my taste but it was ok. The service was decent considering how busy it was. The food came out fast, the servers were attentive, though it would have been nice to get more attention, particularly with refreshing water and napkins and basic things we asked for that should have been quick to get such as ice, a to go box, and water. It would have been great to have another bathroom option for such a busy spot where a large percentage of the clientele seems to be Black women. There was only one restroom which was clean, and smelled nice, fully stocked with must haves and nice to haves. The floor was a bit sticky but otherwise decent. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. There's an automatic 20% gratuity regardless of size of party which is why I feel like the service should always be on point! I'm sure I'd come back but I may try a less busy time. read more

B Spot Nola - Picture wall/backdrop - Soul Food Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Run don't walk to eat brunch here. Literally run. Try to arrive around 10:30am to be seated at noon on a Friday. I've tried a couple other times to eat here and wait times were over 2 hours and 45 minutes. Both times were on a Sunday however. The food is immaculately prepared and delicious. The service just as top notch. Our party of 6 was well looked after. I enjoyed the Grandma gumbo ($28) which included a bowl of delicious seafood gumbo, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a piece of fried catfish. Out table also shared the seafood dip, salmon bites, and the truffle fries. Everything was literally perfect. The drinks were cute and the online menu was descriptive and unique. Plan to come here when you have some free time on your hands. The dj was spinning tunes but it was quiet enough to have conversation and not have to scream. I will definitely be back. There's not too many places that I'd give 5 stars that auto include 20% gratuity and BSpot earned that and more. Well done. read more

Review Title: Bug in My Mimosa & Poor Response from Taylor I had a really disappointing experience here. The service was slow and inattentive from the start--it took forever to get drinks, and our server barely checked in on us. The real issue, though, was when I discovered a bug in my mimosa. I showed it to the waitress, expecting at the very least an apology and a comped drink. Instead, she told me they "couldn't comp it, only remake it"--as if I should just be fine with another round from the same bar that let a bug end up in my glass in the first place. No real apology, no concern about the hygiene issue, and no effort to make things right. I left feeling ignored and honestly grossed out. Between the bad service and the health concern, I won't be coming back--and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone until they take both cleanliness and customer service seriously. read more

Issa a Vibe! Okay so, I pulled up let me friend out and drove right to the next block to park. I did this, just in case it would've taken a while for me to find parking. When I walked back and go inside, he said, "They wouldn't seat me without y'all!" I understand why restaurants do this;however, I'm. I'm not a fan. This spot is quaint, but I'll definitely be back. My friends and I all ordered the same thing, an egg over easy/hard over friend fish/chicken with potatoes and cheese sauce... Baby it was sooooooo yummy. We also shared an appetizer. It was delicious too. Everyone was super friendly and hopefully. Erin..... you tocked my girl. read more

This place is definitely a vibe! We wanted some brunch and headed in. Lucky for us we went earlier in the day and were able to miss the brunch crew. I had the burger which was seasoned to perfection. Juicy and packed with immense flavor! The only thing I couldn't understand is why the brunch burger included fries, but the b spot burger didn't. Especially considering they were priced the same. I also had a crab hash...wow! It was the appetizer I never knew I needed. The bartenders were friendly, the food came out quickly, and there was live entertainment. I would definitely come back when in NOLA. read more

The Rave on tick tock in New Orleans. Bspot is actually THEE Spot. The food is amazingly good. if i could I would 6 star this place. i went on an off peak time and it was still a full restaurant. They should have opened in a larger spot. Move some of those tasteless chain restaurants out the way This is truly the cooking New Orleans is famous for because the dishes are creatively prepared. They served Red Snapper over grits or rice. as you can see from pics the whole fish was crispy and fresh and the sauce was wonderful. My dish was catfish with a crab hash, over potatoes with an amazing sauce. I wanted to regret not getting the Red Snapper as I watched my crew devour their dish. But once i tasted my dish i was dancing in my seat And i can't end without talking about the service. Everyone was so professional and lively. They serve drinks in racks, so much fun to watch one person drink a tito tree. see my photo read more

I went here yesterday for brunch. Overall I really enjoyed the vibe and the food was delicious. I also enjoyed the drinks I tried. The place is small and seems to be pretty popular so I probably won't return on the weekend but despite how busy they were the staff were attentive and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I had the honey garlic wings. Delicious The seafood dip was an off the menu special. Shrimp, crawfish and crab dip served with tortilla chips. Really good. I also tried the Apian salmon bites. Those were really good. I believe the sauce on the salmon bites were the same (or very similar) as the honey garlic wing sauce and no complaints from me because the sauce is really good. For my entree, I had the fried lobster with grits. That was an off the menu special and was most definitely the best grits I've ever had in a restaurant. The seafood sauce was good. After having appetizers and drinks, I was pretty stuffed but I kept eating because it was just that good. I'll definitely be back (during the week)! read more

BSpot Nola is a great brunch spot! We were greeted when we entered and only waited a few minutes before being seated. The menu had great brunch and drink options. The "Bee" aesthetic and theme of the restaurant was neat. They even had shot o'clock while we were dining. This is a great spot to visit in Nola. I didn't give it five stars because the parking is bad. We parked about 3 blocks away in the neighborhood. Uber to the restaurant if you can. read more

The first place we were considering had too long of a wait so we ventured over to the B Spot we walked in and were seated immediately....if you dont want to read my long review...here is what you need to know...food GOODT comes out hot not warm HAWT! Vibe lively...host (didn't catch her name) attentive, staff upbeat! They sung happy birthday to my grandson he just turned 6. Because I didn't check the reviews before going, I hopped on Yelp. To my surprise the review left 3 days ago was so on point... The negative for me...20% automatic charge that wasn't disclosed and wasn't on the backside of the QR menu. The neg/pos for me...the music was a bit too loud for me but it was upbeat and if the right song came on you were moving in your seat OR you could go dance behind where I was seated. It was a nice size crowd my entire visit. Pricey but the food was worth it, I wouldn't take kids though, this is a date or girlz/boyz hangout spot. The positive...catfish and grits THEE BEST Ive ever had! The oxtail and grits too spicy for me, the gravy was spectacular! Salmon bites something I didn't know I needed (words stole from another review), my grandson had the chicken and waffles and he said it was good . read more

It was my first time coming to this location and with it being the day of the Beyoncé concert, it was the perfect vibe! We got there as soon as it opened due to the their Beyoncé promo and their location before small! Please not, there are no split checks. You can only use 2 cards and 20% gratuity is already added to the check. The food was good. I got the Krabby Bee and it was AMAZING! The prices are fair for the amount of food on the plate!

The food is amazing . I appreciated the lemonade wings above all . I think I could eat them every day . I would have loved if the seated swings were accessible on the day we went. Drinks were ok . I would give drinks a 3. The mimosa flight could have been a bit more complex in flavor . Give me passion fruit, mango or something exotic . Basic flavors of orange and pineapple were not appealing to me. The food took awhile but it was worth the wait. The waitress was great as she prepared us for the wait in advance. Food served very hot. Music cool. I loved the photo wall. Staff very warm and friendly a must try . It's a vibe. read more

We visited BSpot during the Essence Festival, which meant extremely long waits--basically two hours. My only complaints about the wait were that nobody came out to offer water or inform us that we needed to check in first, as I thought there was an actual line to get in since it was my first time there. Those are my only gripes. Overall I was happy to see everyone supporting black owned business! Even though they closed at 3, if you were on the waiting list before then, you were still served. Surprisingly, by the time we were served, they were only out of one food item. Super proud of them for that! The decor was also pretty nice! Our server, Rocky, was amazing! I think she knew we'd been waiting forever and made it worth the wait. She was extremely friendly and got straight to business. The special that day was redfish and grits, which was very good, and the drinks were great! Rocky made sure we left feeling great. I'll definitely be back on a regular weekend! read more
