    If you’re looking for the soul of Memphis in one unforgettable night, B.B. King’s Blues Club on Beale Street delivers. We went for dinner and stayed for the live show—and what an experience! The band was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment they hit the stage, the energy in the room skyrocketed. Pure talent, raw blues, and a vibe that keeps your feet tapping all night. Service? Top-notch. Friendly, attentive staff who made us feel right at home from the start. Our server was warm, helpful with recommendations, and genuinely seemed to love being part of the scene. As for the food—classic Southern comfort done right. From crispy fried chicken to smoky ribs and creamy mac ‘n’ cheese, every bite hit the spot. Generous portions, full of flavor, and exactly what you want while soaking in that bluesy atmosphere. In short, B.B. King’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a Memphis must. Come hungry, stay for the music, and leave with a full belly and a happy heart. 5/5 – A soulful slice of Memphis you don’t want to miss.

    Whenever I visit Memphis, I stop at B.B. Kings. The atmosphere is perfect. Whether you are flying solo, as I often do, on a date or with a group, the music is always good and the food is delicious. My favorites are the ribs and dry wings.

    Delicious food, great music and staff were extremely friendly. We brought our 2 children 5 & 10 and both enjoyed it as much as we did, and the children were made feel welcome.

    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
