My son and I enjoyed our dinner and experience here prior to the Grizzlies game. I’d definitely come here again. Ribs were so tender and juicy. My son loved his fried chicken with the mac n cheese (the latter was some of the best he’s had). Overall, cool vibe and service was great! Thank you.

We had an early dinner reservation so that we could listen to the first blues band. We both ordered the ribs which were absolutely delicious! They literally fell off the bone and you had to eat them with a fork. It was all that we wanted from an iconic Memphis blues and barbecue restaurant with great music.

If you love the blues, you’ll love this place. Our reservations were for 5 PM, but we arrived much earlier. Good thing we did, because we were able to hear the first band that started at noon. Definitely recommend arriving early, have your meal, then just hang out stay for the rest of the night! Again, if you are planning to come to B.B. King‘s blues club … arrive early afternoon so you’re able to hear as much music as possible. We could have stayed until midnight. Highly recommend. PS. if you plan to drive to B.B. King’s, there is a paid parking lot directly across the street.
