The owner's a genuinely good-natured guy who chats with customers while preparing orders -- the kind of local touch you can't fake. I ordered a pound of brisket with a pint of coleslaw and BBQ beans. The brisket was fall-apart tender and juicy. The beans were a bit runny, so I didn't expect much -- but the flavor won me over. And the coleslaw? Solid. Price-wise, it felt cheaper than its Route 19 competitors. So in the end, Allman's takes the top spot for brisket in the area.

The restaurant is located in a nice area, with street parking available. The staff was very nice, and there was a small seating area for waiting, along with some outdoor patio chairs along the street. We ended up waiting at a nearby coffee shop while our food was being prepared. There was also a very small fee for using a credit card, so you may want to bring cash. Now, onto the food. I ordered the wings, which had a nice crispy crust, but unfortunately, they seemed a little tough. The flavor was also pretty mild and could have used more seasoning. The mac and cheese was nothing to write home about, and the string beans tasted more like they came from a can than being freshly prepared. We also ordered the fried tilapia, which was much better. The fish was tasty and fried nicely. It came with yams and mashed potatoes. The yams had that familiar buttery, brown-sugar flavor you expect from Southern-style candied yams. The mashed potatoes were okay as well. We spent around $39, which I thought was reasonable for the amount of food we ordered. One thing I will give Mr. B's credit for is the dessert selection. They had a great variety of cakes and baked goods. I tried the lemon meringue, and it was pretty good. So, would I recommend Mr. B's? If you're already in the area, yes, I think it's worth supporting and giving it a try. But would I drive a long distance specifically to eat here? Probably not. Would I go again if I were nearby? Possibly. There are definitely some things on the menu that I'd be willing to try another time. But as always, don't just take my word for it--go for yourself and decide what you think!

The customer service at this place is top-notch, a perfect 10 out of 10. Even though I arrived just before closing time, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They patiently guided me through their menu, helping me choose the perfect meal. I decided to try their Fried Chicken Sandwich with a side of crispy fries and a slice of delectable potato pie. Let me tell you, this was hands down the best Fried Chicken Sandwich I've ever tasted. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the breading was crispy, and the flavors were simply divine. The combination of the sandwich with the fries and the delightful slice of potato pie made for a truly unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone, you won't be disappointed! read more

It's cool what you will find just walking around and exploring your new little town. This is as good soulfood as can be gotten anywhere nearby. I went in on the catfish and greens with embarrassing abandon. It was so incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. Not greasy, slightly crust outside, and perfectly cooked meat inside. The greens are equally delish! Highly recommend this place, and I will be back for the liver on their menu! read more

The turkey wings were flavorless. They tasted like they were baked with water and its juices that accumulated in the pan from cooking. The Mac and cheese did not own up to its namesake and the cabbage was salty but tender. So I'll give an A+ for texture. Next up is the meatloaf plate: where do I even begin? Let's start with the meat:absolutely dry. I am not certain as to why it was not cooked WITH the gravy, BUT it wasn't. Now the GRAVY: OMG! THICK and straight out of the McCormick, Pioneer or Great value, Kroger or whoever else makes powdered brown gravy mix. Literally mixed per instructions and boiled til thick and nothing else was done to it. No seasoning. No nothing. Listen, I use that pack gravy; but you gotta know what to do with that when you're using it. Mmkay?? Mashed potatoes were homemade which I love; but the dollop of the same meatloaf gravy was ladled on top; so I was unable to even enjoy that one thing on my plate that actually made sense.....the green beans: SALTY! And the cornbread that people had previously raved about that 'was moist and cake like' was dense and had not a drop of sweetness in it. The star of the show was the roll that came with my turkey wing plate. I just warmed that in the oven and threw a bit of honey butter on it because I literally could not consume that food. Our people really gotta do better when it comes to advertising 'soul food', because that comes with expectations that you will deliver a meal that is going to be of comfort and nostalgia.
