We arrived early for dinner and to hear a bit of Ashton Riker. BB Kings All-Stars (trio) were wrapping up their set as we ordered our meal. I had the ribs (outstanding) and wife had the pork tacos (good). Ashton Riker & Company were excellent. Unfortunately only stayed thru the first set but we should have stayed for the night!

Had to experience the place. You get surprised with a $10 cover charge per person as you walk through the door to pay for live music. Blues band was good but very loud in a relatively small space. Tried the bbq ribs and they were excellent. If you want good comfort food, give BBKings a try. If you want conversation, this is not the place. Great introduction to the Memphis Blues scene.
