My first time here. Someone showed on Facebook some of the food they got there. I got the barbecue platter, two sides-mashed potatoes and gravy, carrots souffle and a side of Mac & cheese. The food is delicious. Seasoned just right! I love the set-up with the pickup & ordering that is separate in plain sight. And the service was friendly and warm. The atmosphere is very nice. I can't wait to go again. read more

Finally made it over here for lunch, and the fish was fish'n. Definitely not the spot if you're on a low-sodium diet--the mac & cheese leaned a little salty--but those yams were delicious. Overall, still a thumbs up read more

The smothered porkchops and mash potatoes were DELICIOUS!! Everything was delicious!!!! The yams, the collards and the peach cobbler ! I will definitely be back !!! read more

As usual, amazingly delicious fried chicken, collards and yams, sooo good Always amazing!!

A friend and I were able to bring outside food in to a winery, so we stopped at Mr. B's to get some fried wings and fish meals. While all their food is amazing.... GET THE CARROT SOUFFLE PLEASE. It just reminds you of a good Sunday dinner. Mr. B's is staple for me. read more

The chicken wings were seasoned to perfection. Greens were flavorful. The carrot cake was a NO. It was dry and very dense. Chicken egg rolls were ok. A bit to hard. read more

I really wanted to support a Black-owned business, so I decided to try Mr. B's. Unfortunately, my experience was very mixed. The fish cake was actually good -- flavorful and cooked well. The French fries and fried okra were also good and crispy. However, the burger was terrible. I asked for it well done, but it came out soggy and tasted like it had been cooked in a microwave. There was no seasoning, and the texture was very off-putting. It honestly didn't taste freshly made. The peach cobbler was the worse out everything, It tasted like syrup and dough, no peaches in it. I don't like writing negative reviews, especially when I genuinely want to support local Black businesses, but the burger was too disappointing not to mention. I hope they improve the quality and preparation because some of the other items were solid. read more

I was really hoping to give a better review but just couldn't this time. The consistency and food quality has NOT been good lately. It's hit or miss and Im embarrassed because I recommended this place for dinner last night and it was beyond disappointing for us. The catfish was so salty, omg! I love salt now, so if I'm complaining about something being too salty, then it's likely to raise your blood pressure because of the salt content. I don't know if they accidentally poured too much salt/seasoning in the batter but I just couldn't eat it. Despite my better judgement, I tried the fried okra again. It wasn't fresh, the insides were brown. Yuck. Immediately threw it out. The cornbread is always good but these portions have decreased. They used to give much larger sections and now it's child-size portions. This sucks because I love supporting good quality restaurants and this one isn't consistent enough for me. Needless to say, I won't be back here for a while and definitely won't be recommending this place to anyone. read more

We tried this place before Thanksgiving and the food was amazing. I had the Crab Cake sandwich and green beans, let me saw this was delicious and very good portions. The staff were pleasant . Definitely recommend this establishment. Excellent Food, go support our Black Businesses. read more

I'm so glad I remembered this place! A family friend told me about this place almost 15 years ago and it crossed my mind to go take my little sister with me on this lovely Saturday right before we went last-minute Mother's Day shopping for my mom. We ordered the Baked Chicken with gravy, mac and cheese, candied yams and a side of cabbage. Also, I got a yummy slice of sweet potato pie! It was a little busy but the wait was about 3-5 min before Mr.B himself came from the back and took our order. We dined on the patio! He was very kind and patient and even offered a discount since I paid with cash. All of the food was a 10/10 besides the cabbage. It lacked flavor so I gave it to my mom who also didn't enjoy (sorry mom) -- I think I lost points for Mother's Day. Just kidding. But, yes overall.. I will be back. Side note: One of the cooks caught me leaving from outside and I told him I should've gotten string beans instead, I asked if it was too late to grab some but I was in a hurry and he couldn't take my order from behind the store, I was getting in my car. I was happy to support this business and I've shared with relatives after posting on social media today, they wanted to know where I got it from. read more

Mr B's - Candied Yams, Cabbage, Baked Chicken - Quarter Dark 2 Piece, Mac and Cheese Sweet Potato Pie - Seafood Near Me - Chester, Virginia

Wonderful place for some homemade soul food. The menu is varied and so many delicious options. The place offers to go service where you can order ahead or order inside. The staff is amazing and friendly and so knowledgeable about the menu. They will inform you of all of the food options and make suggestions if you're unsure. The food is freshly prepared. Everything I preferred was piping hot and smelled amazing. The staff made sure that we got everything and our orders were correct. I recommend the carrot soufflé. It was amazing and can't find this menu item anywhere else in the area. read more

Fish and crab cakes were delicious! Always good food and very polite employees. Will definitely go back and eat again

Good morning everyone, I usually order from Mr. B's and have never had an issue the food is always really good. Yesterday I ordered the baked chicken meal with yams, collard greens, and added some black-eyed peas. When I started eating the baked chicken last night, I realized after taking a bite that it wasn't fully cooked. While it didn't have any blood in it, I still had to put it in the air fryer to finish cooking it myself. Because it had gravy on it, I didn't notice at first when I opened it. Hopefully, this is something they can take a look at and fix going forward. read more

Let's start with the food. The fish was seasoned and fried well; the collards were tasty and are seasoned with pork, the good thing is they let you know up front for the non-pork eaters; the mac and cheese...I was highly disappointed. It was way too soupy and the flavor was rather bland; lastly dessert, I grabbed a sweet potato tart vs a slice. It's not my mama's but it was good and no strings from the potatoes... whew! The service was good, they greet you as you enter which is a nice touch. The staff was friendly and made sure to mention the lunch specials for the day. I'm guessing at one time you could eat in but it's basically takeout but they do offer outdoor seating. They have a dessert casing and a long leather seater while you wait for your order. Overall I would go back to try a few other menu items. read more

A little slow bc they cook it to order. But always good. I've had fried chicken, pork chop, fish and ribs. Everything I tried good and the fried pork chop sandwich was great. Very thick. But great. The green bean, greens, french fries and yams were all good as well. Friendly service and if you ask the staff about a particular item, they'll tell you it is all good but they are honest about what they like vs. love and why. I appreciated that. read more

Food and great cakes, pies, and "cake-style bread pudding . Very nice,polite staff also

Called at 5:00 Friday night, was put on hold. When I said I would like to place an order I was told to call back later . That they were really busy and Mrs. B was busy too. They would not even take my order. Never had that happen in my life. So we took our business elsewhere. read more

I ordered a dinner with catfish, mac and cheese, and collards. The catfish was okay, but the one piece that came with the order was extremely salty. The mac and cheese was horrible, the cheese sauce was watery, and the noodles were over cooked, lastly the collards came from a can! I haven't had anything this tasteless in a long time from a soul food restaurant. I was hoping for a better experience, read more

Two Words, Carrot Soufflé, a must when visiting Mr. B's. Homemade food to go. Smothered Pork Chops, Fried Shrimp, Baked Chicken, Fried Chicken family meal, Chicken wings, Country Fried Steak, I've tried them all. Not one bad meal...collard greens, homemade buns, and desserts, mouthwatering. So local, a favorite of mine. A must try, go and taste for yourself. read more

Last couple of times food hasn't been as good. Fried chicken is just subpar usually the best option.

I always go there and for the most part it's good , but I went there 02/25 /26 and I always get the same thing I go a quarter white the wing was small and the breast was small and thats the way I like it the Mac cheese was good , order again on 02/26/26 and I order 4 wings meal and was horrible the wings was so big look like 2 wings and it wasn't fried hard enough and the Mac cheese look like it was left over , they need to sale small wings instead of them big things . I have had good experience from them and bad but sometimes there breast big so big thy u can't even eat all of it because it don't taste right, sometimes there Mac cheese be good and sometimes it look like they give you the left over from the night before . I been going there now for 3 years and I want be going there anytime soon . At first the wings was small and there breast which sometimes they are small and then sometimes they are so big, there wings ate just to big and they are big like that they are not good . read more

I've heard lots of good things about this place and couldn't wait to give them a try. I absolutely love the area where they're located as there are lots of options. My friend and I met here for lunch and grabbed a table on the sidewalk. I ordered the crab cake sandwich, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a slice of sweet potato pie. My only complaint is that the crab cake was deep fried extremely hard which is not necessary for a sandwich and completely destroys the concept of a delicate crab cake......there are other ways to prepare it for a sandwich......broil, saute, bake........anything other than deep frying. The taste of the crabcake was good when I took it off the bread to break it open but it was hard as a brick........so unfortunate. I really like this place so I may return to try the fish on my next trip, the pie was really good and they offer so many dessert options. read more

This is a take out location. The chicken wings are great. The wings are seasoned well. The sides are average. The green beans are salty. The desserts are amazing! The service is good. The ambience is average. Overall I would rate it a 6.5 out of 10 read more

The staff were very friendly towards myself and rambunctious toddler. When you first entered the establishment, you will notice that dining inside is not optional. But the space is clean and very organized. Our first order was the fried oyster with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. Fried oyster was crispy and was given an ample amount. Mashed potatoes tasted like real potatoes with a very savory gravy sauce. Mac and cheese were delicious. Our second order was the fried catfish plate with green beans and mashed potatoes. The catfish was freshly fried, however, was a bit on the salty side. The green beans are worth a try. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant and plan to return to try their fried chicken. read more

Ordered the smothered pork chop with yams and Mac. Side of collards. Also fried fish. Food was decent. Pork chop was cold upon arrival. I did order from a third party delivery service so might not be Mr. B's fault but still worth mentioning. Mac was pretty good. Wasn't that impressed with the yams. They seemed a little old. read more

Good food at a reasonable price. Great customer service. I order online to avoid the wait.

Refrain from can and box items! I know, I know, people who don't KNOW real and I mean REAL SOUL FOOD will love this spot!!!!! Prices have skyrocketed and texture and taste of food is totally different than pre-Covid! Fresh green beans and collards are available at various farmers markets! Your sweet potatoe pies???? Are they from actual scratch as well as the cakes, they taste like the old Duncan Hines . . . I'm good! I will cook at home and save sooooooo much money! read more

I like this place and WILL be back. Can't wait for dine in to begin again as I felt it all would have been 5 star if so. We tried the chicken salad, fried chicken kids meal, yellow cake, fried tilapia meal with greens and cabbage. The pieces of fish were large, perfectly packaged for travel, and DELISH. The greens could have been cooked longer to be more tender but had good flavor. The cornbread was sweet and fresh. The stand out item however for my inner fat girl were the fresh rolls! I ate them while I drove the food home, then told everyone else they didn't have any rolls so I could eat the rest! I didn't like the yellow cake, nor the cabbage but I enjoyed everything else enough to be back and soon. I'm a fan....just take my money & feed me! read more

Love this spot. My family absolutely adores something called carrot soufflé. (I wrote it like that because I eyeball the orange stuff, but refuse to go there.) My fam gets it here and we order quarts of it for gatherings. I've tried nearly everything else on their menu and am always satiated and happy. My favorites are the crab cake sandwiches, fried whiting and cabbage. Come here for some delicious soul food. Pandemic note: order out only. read more

Food was good. You can't eat in there you have to do take out. The service was ok. Not very friendly.

I love a good soul food restaurant. My brother in love had a piece of pineapple coconut cake and one taste, I had to have my own! I ventured to this nook in the city of Chester and found that there is food and desserts!! So, naturally I order my husband and I dinner. Fried fish, cabbage and mac n' cheese. The fish was cool but the cabbage and mac were bland! The cake held its own though...I'd go for dessert again. read more

I've been going to this place for the last 10 years. There nothing like homemade poundcake that Mrs. B makes. They have relocated to Chester from Hopewell. A nice location with a bigger staff and more cake selection. The food is delicious. I love the green beans and the chicken wings. They have been in business for years. Go by and get yourself a nice soul plate. They will not disappoint. They are also practicing social distancing so you can place your order in advance or come inside the store to place your order. read more

When I lived in Richmond, I used to come down to Mr. B's in Chester once every two months with my wife and grandmother. Now that I live right down the street, I have to try and limit myself to stopping by about once a week (even though I went three days in a row last week). Everyone at Mr. B's is amazing. They have handled COVID extremely well, upping their takeout game to great success. The food is so comforting. Fried chicken, chopped steak, smothered pork chop, meatloaf are my faves. The carrot soufflé is absurdly good. I can't say enough good things about them. If you haven't given them a try, do it soon. Then you might have to try your best not to go every single day like I do. read more
