    I’ve visited BB Kings on several occasions while visiting the city. In the past, I remember the food being much better. The Tasso gravy on the shrimp and grits was much too spicy to enjoy. The portion however was huge. The catfish bites weren’t fried hard so we’re just okay. My husband did enjoy the pasta dish. I would go back but may choose another meal option.

    The ultimate place to spend an evening is in BB Kings bar & restaurant. What an experience from the music to the food. Once at your table there was no rush by your server to order food. We wasn't rushed and got out drinks. Which enabled us to listen to the bands and take our time deciding what to order on their extensive menu. I tried catfish for the 1st time and wow what a tasty way of doing it I'm a convert. What a fabulous experience in this place. You can't go to memphis without going in and experiencing this place.

    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.
