BB King’s Blues Club

I came on a Sunday night at 7:30, just in time for the live music to begin. The band was so talented and entertaining. They played for an hour and made the dinner so much more of an experience.
The food was delicious and service was attentive and quick. When it came to drinks, the bayou mama drink was too sweet for me personally but I did like the mega margarita. We ordered 4 entrees between 3 of us because we just couldn’t decide. We split the full rack of ribs (14 pieces) which came with baked beans, cole slaw, and cornbread. The ribs were so tender and flavorful and juicy, just how we like it! I ordered the bbq beef brisket and thought the flavors were just right, but the fries were a little too soggy and lackluster for me. I also tried the chicken fried chicken, which was fried chicken on a bed of mac and cheese. i thought the mac and cheese was delicious and creamy. My other friend got the pulled pork platter which came with a huge stack of pulled pork and also came with all the sides.
All in all, a delicious meal and wonderful New Orleans live music experience. I would definitely recommend!

We loved the atmosphere… BUT food and service left a lot to be desired. This culinary experience might work in Memphis but If they don’t upgrade the quality of food and flavors, this place won’t last in New Orleans.
Turkey was dry… Mac & cheese was just bad Alfredo… potatoe salad had way too much dill. Chicken fried chicken had no flavor… onion gravy tasted like it was out of box.

Music was incredible! Very live and good for all ages. The service was fantastic and the manager was personal with all customers. Grade A food and dining.

Live music was great. Friendly staff and delicious food. We had the bbq brisket and the shrimp and grits and highly recommend. Lots of drink options and great environment. Overall great experience!

We ended up at BB King’s because they had a balcony where we could sit outside and still listen to the band inside while enjoying the sunshine. Apparently we got there right after the lunch rush and they were in recovery mode because we sat there for about ten minutes before anyone greeted us. The manager explained, grabbed us waters and said our server would be right out. A while later, when the manager made another pass, she asked if anyone had helped us yet and reiterated she’d make sure someone came right out. When the server finally got there she was clearly playing catch up and took our food and drink orders all at once. Everyone’s drinks came out within a few minutes, except mine. Then our ap came out-​catfish bites (which were very good) and she noticed I still hadn’t gotten my drink (apparently I went bad ordering a mixed drink vs a beer), so she went back to check on it. Shortly after everyone’s food came out but mine. The guy that brought the food out asked if we had everything we needed, so I mentioned I was missing mine. He shrugged and said he’d check with our waitress. When she came back to check on us, realized I still didn’t have my drink (we’d been there at least 45 minutes at this point) and I could tell by the face she made that she hadn’t actually keyed my po-​boy either. By the time she came back with my drink and my food everyone else at the table was done eating. *sigh*
After everyone waited on me to eat, it took another 30 minutes to get the bill figured out. Actually, the manager swung by again to check on us and picked up the billfold and said something about splitting the check 54 – 46? For a party of 4 (two couples) that struck me as odd, but it didn’t matter because our server came back ten minutes later and asked if she could just split the check down the middle-​so they hadn’t even communicated about our bill at all. Apparently BB King’s is newer and still getting everything together, the food was fine, it was up to brand standard from what I have had elsewhere, but goodness are they disorganized! I would be hesitant to come back here when there are so many other great options in this area. Also, when you mess up someone’s order that bad you really should do something to show you appreciate your customers. NOLA is huge, we didn’t have to eat there, it would have been nice to not feel like asking to sit on the deck for a drink and a sandwich was an inconvenience to you.

My husband and I ordered the prime rib and the chicken fried chicken. Both were great! The prime rib was one of the best, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Mac and cheese is dam good too! Service was great. The band was missing its singer. Other than that it was a great day in the French Quarter.

It is all about the entertainment and definitely not about the food. If you like the Blues, you will hear them at BB Kings and experience them from the cuisine. The place really needs a cook.
Atmosphere 80 A small theater
Service 70 Not really
Food 65 Get your drinks, plenty of them, first.
Value 70 You are paying for the band.
Our mistake was that we went for dinner. This place is a touch of what New Orleans is all about — the blues and plenty of boos. Eat somewhere else.

Great food, great atmosphere!!! I had the ribs and they were pretty good. Live band was very entertaining, they even got everyone to join in and form a «Soul Train» line which was very entertaining. All in all I will return and support this new spot in the city.

Great band! The former location of Margaritaville… very nice. The band is a must hear.

Food was great, live music awesome. Definitely would come back. Place is clean ambience is great.

We are locals and have eaten and had great food and service 3 times since New Year’s Eve so I knew this was the perfect venue for a birthday party/​family reunion. I love this place, you get a HUGE bargain in food and music. The raw oysters are fabulous and hard to find on this end of the Quarter. We will all be back.

Love BB KIngs
We walked up and down and all around the French market shopping area, popping into various bars and getting our «to go» cups.
We were tired and all we wanted was a NICE place to rest and have a martini
And boy did we luck out when we stumbled in to BB Kings.
First off, it was clean…
Most likely due to the fact it recently open, but clean bars in Nola are hard to find.
We wanted an espresso martini, which was not on the menu. So our bartender, Marcus, asked us to guide him on how to make it, and it turned out delicious. We named it «The Bride’s Morning,» as it was my bachelorette party and was a perfect hangover drink.
The ribs!
Oh my.
Meat was falling off the bone. We could barely put the rib to our mouths without the meat Falling off.
And not saucy either. I love a nice dry rub rib, where the quality of the meat can’t be disguised in sauce.
Tommy, the owner was amazing, and if you get a chance, say hi to him. He’s pretty funny.
We actually went back a second day? On our 3 day visit, just because we had such a good time there the first day.
The value for your money was pretty good too.
On the second day, we asked for a «to go» cup
No to go cups there, but Marcus ran across the street to ask a vendor for some to go cups and made It happen.
I hope this place does well.

Fabulous food great service great live music… 16 Aussies traveling through New Orleans and this has been our best meal. Fresh, the ribs were delicious, the Cajun chicken was great.

Went again. Food was good and there was a cool blues band playing. Pity hardly anyone in there. They need a sign and some promotion as the restaurant/​bar is fine in everyway. If you are looking for this bar they are in Decatur opposite Coops.

They just opened. The service and food was excellent. They also had a live bad that was outstanding. Keep up and great work, I’ll be back here for the Music, food and service. I had the pulled pork with fries.
