Review 4 for B.B. King's Blues Club

Overall Rating

(Good)

"Music was terrific! Food was bar food: ribs, chicken, fish and such. Not a good place if you want to converse, but great if you want to rock out. It was a good thing that Open Table advised us to confirm our reservation, because BB Kings had no awareness of the reservation we had made through Open Table."

Overall Rating

(Outstanding)

"My dining experience was worth the drive. Make sure you make reservations, that helps with the waiting time. We made reservations and we had a no wait time. Just know that if there is live entertainment, you will have to pay a cover charge. The live entertainment was on point. It was a setting fit for any occasion. The food is awesome! From the appetizers to the dessert you will not be disappointed."

"I was in Nashville for buisness and my wife was able to join me. I was looking for somewhere with a local flavor experience. I chose the right place. The food was good, the service was good, and the entertainment was great! They have music every night, I went on a Tuesday night, and the music was awesome. If you are looking for Nashville flavor, you have got to check this place out. oh!, while you're there, get he bread pudding."

"Their reservation service was poor. We stood around for a good 10 minutes before we had to go get someone to help us out and then still have no table available after setting reservations 2 wks in advance. It was my birthday and felt that they would atleast give me good seats, but instead we were all the way to the back. The food was great and the live bands were great. I do recommend others to go there, but call ahead of time to make sure everything is in order."

"This was my fourth time at BB Kings. It was the night before KY took on Clemson in the bowl game, so it was a bit crowded. I was glad to have made the reservations I did, just b/c of that. Food took quite a while to come out, but again, they got hit due to the bowl game, hockey game, and band competition not 3 blocks away. The only thing I was not really jazzed about was the music. Over the hour and one half we were there, we heard almost all jazz. I think I might have heard 2 blues tunes....and this is what I took my out of town family to hear. I will go back, but blues will be what I am looking forward to listening to."

"When I made the reservation for this place-a month in advance- I did not know that there was a NFL home game downtown on that date and a college bowl game following two days later. In spite of the large crowd waiting in line for up to an hour to get in to this bustling spot, my priority seating promise was honored within ten minutes of my desired time. The food was good ( I had their half-rack of smoked BBQ ribs). The entertainment was great. In between sets of the and the DJ kept the music flowing. Overall- I am impressed by the people who manage this restaurant."
