Reviews of Dr. Bob's Folk Art

Jody Harrison

Love this artist. Great shop. Glad to have a piece from this living local legend:)

Samantha Finnegan

Dr.Bob's abstract art made of repurposed materials are unique and vibrant. He has a wide selection and something for everyone. The only thing preventing me from giving him 5 stars was that his business is cash only and I had limited cash on me.

Dan Sorak

Funky and welcoming space full of Dr Bob's creative folk art. Almost all of the art was colorfully painted on wooden backing in a variety of shapes and sizes, adorned with wooden frames, and decorated with an assortment of bottle caps in Dr Bob's unique style! We stopped in for a quick visit and were met with a friendly smile and Dr Bob in the background working on new pieces of art as we browsed the completed ones. There were paintings of all sorts with caricaturized alligators, dogs, some of Bob's iconic sayings, and a variety of other subjects. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

Steve Replogle

Just about the entire experience of New Orleans - noisy, colorful, and contradictory - is captured here in pieces of humorous, eccentric folk art. There’s a lot to see. There are artifacts and objects and paintings and statuettes and gew-gaws. The various items are small and large, cheap and expensive, vibrant and spirited, humorous and just plain odd. It’s all interesting and fun.

Very eclectic store. It's not a huge place but it is pretty cool! My son told me to stop in because he liked the artist's saying. It was fun just walking through it. And yes, I bought a piece for my kid.

Mabon Williford

Very unique local art. Worth going out of the way for. Located around the corner from a number of thrift shops, cafes, record stores, and the nicest park in the city.

Alex Turner

Neat local art. A little bit strange atmosphere, but I suppose that's part of the point. Got a neat painting and talked to Dr. Bob for a bit about some of his adventures.

Sabrina Dent

I love the artwork! The staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

Bart Majcher

Insanely good, fell in love with the place and Bob’s art at first sight. Stay nice and never leave <3

Accidently found this place while walking by. A great place to see some unique and original artwork

David Hutchinson

One day I will own one of these great pieces of art!

Brandon Z James

Such an awesome art gallery, all of the art is repurposed. I truly wish I had more money set aside for art this trip.

Sean Ryan

Amazing place with so many unique pieces. If you're lucky, you'll have the opportunity to meet George the studio dog. He might bark when you arrive, but he is sweet and friendly. Dr. Bob might be there and he has plenty of local stories and he can share so many stories about the background of his art.

Olesya Altynbaeva

Pretty nice place. Authentic stuff. Cool vibes. I like the works, they truly represent the spirit of this region. Nice to grab one of those works of art if you enjoy the blues and jazz cultures. Love it!

Really nice creative folk art, met artist too. best sense of humor ever, i loved his art and so will you.

Alan Chenkin

Dr. Bob's artwork is a very recognizable piece of New Orleans - I was fortunate enough to meet Dr Bob on this visit, and listen to him speak about his art and his signs. Well that is cheap is New Orleans street art his pieces are unique especially when you look at the frames adorned with bottle caps and bright colors.

Paul Russell

I work at one of the warehouses on the same lot as Bobs and he's a character y'all. I've bought two pieces of his art and I've donated one to a local church to help with a fundraiser they were having. Widely known, self taught artist and always a wide selection of art to choose from. Love this place.

Wooten Jones

Great shop, very unique and off the beaten path. Had the opportunity to meet Dr. Bob and his wife, they were exceedingly nice and welcoming and directed us to some awesome locals-only spots. Would recommend stopping in if you’re in the Bywater neighborhood.

Local living legend, get you some while you can still afford it

Taylor Townsend

Loved this place! He has a wide variety of artwork and it's all amazing!

It's just so Bywater, very artsy, has a gift shop with parking behind the fence, usually open during daytime hours, Dr Bob is a staple, everyone knows his work folk art, But everyone loves Be Nice or Leave

Matthew Enright

Bob's is a Bywater must-stop for the original art and entertaining stories. If you don't like it, you can leave!

Michael Jones

A unique experience is always in store, his place is filled with all kinds of cool art.. and if your lucky , the good Dr will lay some fun history facts on ya!! You rock Dr. Bob

Lovely experience. Had a great time talking to the Artist himself. Beautiful art work.

Kind of a freak show walking in the driveway, but the pieces inside are worth a look-see, and you'll get a friendly explanation of the history of many of them.

Be nice! Dr. Bob sure is. Awesome spot with very cool art and very friendly folks.

Little says New Orleans like something from Dr. Bob's. This guy is a legend and everything here tells a NOLA story. Take some time to walk around and take it in.
