    The music is wonderful and fun. The volume and seating with a clear view of the band is ideal. Our waitress was fun and kind. The food looked like decent bar food. The tables are super sticky and dirty. My gin & tonic had olive juice in it. The quality of drinks at our table was poor.

    Delicious BBQ ribs and brisket! Band playing when we were there did a wonderful job, but be prepared for a $10 per person cover charge for the band in addition to the price of your meal.

    Wanted to experience some blues while passing through Memphis, and got a reservation at BB King's. We never expect too much when eating in a bar, but this place was surprisingly good. Decided ahead of time I'd try the ribs -- I'm picky about my ribs! -- and they were really delicious, falling off the bone and crispy. Picked up some bbq sauce and rub. We were seated upstairs with a view overlooking the stage and main floor, a great vantage point. Certainly not disappointed with the music, either, a fabulous band that captured the spirit of Beale Street. Atmosphere is dark, as it should be, a delightful bar and meeting place to hang. Loved it! Can't wait to go back! Oh, and the meatloaf was pretty awesome, too!

    Nice portions. Great music. Tables could be situated a little better but my guess is the goal is to hold more clients. Overall it was a great time celebrating my husband’s birthday.

    Had a great time, the food was great, the service was great and the band was amazing! My son requested a song and they played it next! The only negative was we were not informed before of the cover charge for the band.
