    We had a group of 8. Our waiter Josephus, a pleasant fellow did a good job taking care of us. I thought the kitchen was a bit slow preparing the food, but the food was good once it was delivered. Love the jambalaya.

    Had a very good experience at House of Blues for dinner before a concert last night. We ordered the Voodoo Shrimp, Nashville Hot Chicken and added a Southern salad. The shrimp was hearty and had great flavor. The chicken wasn't too hot, and was a large portion. So glad we added the salad, it was bright and a cool contrast to our heavier entrees. Love the live music while dining. A very good one man band that took requests from the other diners. Service was quick and friendly so we could get upstairs for the show.

    Love the House of Blues. Ate at the restaurant before going to see Wilder Woods. Friendly service and great food. Also got a voucher to skip the line and get into the venue first for eating at the restaurant first. Look forward to going again.

    Music was great but the clients didn’t care at all. They were speaking very loud and some were even playing videos on their phone at full volume… even the staff spoke very loud (I could even hear the kitchen staff from my table…). I found it so disrespectful for the artist who worked so hard to perform tonight.

    The food was horrible. We ordered five different dishes, and each one was not pleasant. Their gumbo, which I’ve had numerous of times in Orlando, Florida, state on the menu that it did not have okra, but when it came out, it in fact, had okra . The menu was nothing like the other house of blues restaurants I’ve visited before . Everything was different and not tasteful at all . The service, however, was really good. We arrived an hour early for our reservation and they figured out a way to get a seated.  The music was awesome very soulful and blues.

    The live music we experienced from two different bands was awesome. Both the food and service was great. The only thing I had an issue with was the Cadillac Margarita which tasted like that Margarita mix with no alcohol. It was disgusting. It was a wasted $14. Overall, I had a good experience and would return and order another drink maybe , or soda lol!
