    Had to experience the place. You get surprised with a $10 cover charge per person as you walk through the door to pay for live music. Blues band was good but very loud in a relatively small space. Tried the bbq ribs and they were excellent. If you want good comfort food, give BBKings a try. If you want conversation, this is not the place. Great introduction to the Memphis Blues scene.

    We lucked out and were there as part of the Blues Challenge weekend events. Great atmosphere, obviously great music and good food. Being from Chicago, the ribs were just ok, not a fan of fall off the bone tender but still good. Everything else was delicious and the service was stellar! The wait staff totally rocks!

    A fantastic venue, as always. We ate dinner, and the highlight was the chicken and waffles. The music was high-energy and fun, and Memphis Jones did a grand tour of blues, soul, and Memphis history themes. Entertaining, upbeat, and fun with some great food. Wonderful night out.
