Lots of us across Lake Charles miss Mr. Bills and were devastated when we got word that Hurricane Laura had taken it from us 2 years ago. During COVID, it became a great place to escape the world, enjoy amazing food, and listen to live music over the weekend. The little restaurant quickly became more than just a place to grab a plate lunch and run through the drive-through to grab crawfish. It became a home away from home. If you would have told me we would be listening to live music at Mr. Bills at 9 at night 3 years ago, I would have laughed in your face.

With that momentum during COVID, Mr. Bills began to evolve into a real hot spot for Lake Charles residents under its big white tent outside in the parking lot. Sadly, those days were halted by Hurricane Laura, but it is making a comeback. As it gets rebuilt, Mr. Bills will be coming back a bit differently than before, and that includes having a real bar inside of the restaurant. With that, comes a few specialty drinks they are developing.

The specialty drinks made their debut for people to taste test this past Saturday at the McNeese home game. They brought out 3 different drinks for tailgaters to taste and the consensus was that they were all a hit to keep around. Chad and Jason brought out a Bloody Mary, Blueberry Gin and Tonic, and a Strawberry Orange Lemonade. If those three items alone don't get you excited for the return of Mr. Bills, I don't know what will. People stood around trying all three flavors, some multiple times and were just floored at how refreshing and amazing they were. Perhaps Mr. Bills can do more than just throw down in the kitchen, looks like they can throw down behind a bar as well!
