Intimate venue with great atmosphere. Band was fun and music was great. Food was quite good but some sides arrived cold. The set menu was a great idea and reasonable.

We ordered drinks, which came promptly and were good. Both of us had jambalaya. It was quite tasty. The show started somewhat late, so we had time for another round of drinks. Once the show started, and during and after the show, service was less available. It took us a bit of time to get our check, but we were able to chat with the performers, so it was fun. The parking discount at the Mason-Ellis garage worked out well. We highly recommend Biscuits and Blues for dinner and a show! We'll definitely be back.

This is a jazz/blues bar. One of very few, actually, nowadays. Normally, you wouldn't expect a dinner, but this one had pretty delicious food. The main thing is, of course, a music show that was awesome! It's a small place, so it was very cozy. Everyone is close to the stage.

Great experience. It’s my first time here in Biscuit and Blues. The check in is easy: I just provided the front desk my name and he verified my reservations and issued our tickets. The venue is small but very cozy. We were able to sit at the back centered to the stage. The atmosphere was great. Everyone was enjoying the show; of course, Gunhild was fabulous! The food was so so, but we were here for the show and not for a dining experience, we were fine with it. Overall, it’s a great place, we had a great time there!

Biscuits and Blues is my archetype of the perfect music venue. The service and staff are great. The bands which they book are ideal for the space. I have gone from looking for particuclar acts, to just deciding with my partner that we will be going here at least once per month and enjoy whoever is playing. I am so grateful that this great venue/restaurant exists!
