    Food was fantastic! Chicken and waffles and the ribs were delicious! Don’t forget to get the white chocolate banana bread pudding for dessert! Music was great We were given a great table. Part way through our meal a huge group was seated in the area we were in. They had more people than places. We heard the server tell a guy who was hovering around us that he would get our table! So rude. We paid the cover and planned to listen to music even after we ate. Very awkward and we felt pressured to leave

    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.

    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.

    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!
