    The ambiance is great. You feel like you’re stepping into a good restaurant when you walk in the door. The experience only goes up from there. The roasted carrots were a great appetizer. I got the pork chop and it was excellent. My daughter got the “trust me vegetarian plate” and it was abundant and beyond delicious. I ate several bites of her meal and there was plenty leftover when she was done. Highly recommend!

    If you love the blues, you’ll love this place. Our reservations were for 5 PM, but we arrived much earlier. Good thing we did, because we were able to hear the first band that started at noon. Definitely recommend arriving early, have your meal, then just hang out stay for the rest of the night! Again, if you are planning to come to B.B. King‘s blues club … arrive early afternoon so you’re able to hear as much music as possible. We could have stayed until midnight. Highly recommend.  PS. if you plan to drive to B.B. King’s, there is a paid parking lot directly across the street.
