What People Are Saying About BB King's Blues Club - Memphis
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – King, who got his start on Beale Street, opened his namesake club in 1991. Though tourists flock here seeking the definitive Memphis blues experience, plenty of locals frequent the club to hear their favorite acts. A dance floor lets folks swing and sway, working up an appetite for the Southern fare cooked up in the club's restaurant. – – The Draw – The big man himself plays the club a couple of times a year. The rest of the time, first-rate blues acts pack the place on a nightly basis. House favorites like Ruby Wilson and Preston Shannon usually man the…
Best Catfish anywhere
by adventurer2008
They have the best Catfish and Fried Dill Pickles. I had never tried fried dill pickles before they were great. The Catfish was seasoned perfectly. We enjoyed it so much that we ate there twice while we were there. The music and the service were also great.
Best Musicians especially Stacy Mitchhart, he is fantastic, fantastic ribs and pickles, great customer service, you won't want to miss going to Beale Street and not going to BB King's

The last time I was there I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the music. It is a great place and the music could be heard no matter where you are seated. I did not care for the cole slaw. Youu need to talk with me when I get there, which is the next time Stacy Mitchhart is there hopefully. My husband and I owned a barbecue restaurant and undoubledly have the best barbecue sauce in the nation, but yours is great. I love the sides you have, including the pickles. I also have a receipe for deep fried sweet potato rounds that I am sure you would love to have, as well as several unusual desserts. If interested look me up. Stacy played at our restaurant last year and he was accepted very well. Boby's Boogie Pig Bar B Q in Blountville, TN, We have now closed and are looking for a larger place. I make the best cole slaw you will have ever eaten and it compliments the ribs expertly. I do plan on coming the end of this month if Stacy is going to be there and when is BB going to be there I would love to see him and Stacy perform. I have recently moved to the Memphis area and very excited that I can now visit quite often. If interested in trying out some of my receipts that will compliment your fantastic foods just let me know.
Great Entertainment- loved it!

This was my first visit to Memphis and I spent several nights on Beale Street! I was hooked the minute we got there. Great entertainment and good times with friendly people everywhere. BB Kings place was really rockin the night I went in with a group of friends. Ruby Wilson is fantastic and gave an unforgettable performance! It was very crowded and of course, tourist priced with just okay food. However, I got what I came for, great music and a rockin atmosphere! We had a blast and would highly recommend going if you visit Beale street. We are already talking about when we can go back to Memphis. BB Kings is most definately on the list of places we will go back to! (Along with Graceland, National Civil Rights Museum, and the list goes on- Memphis overall is spectacular!)
- Pros: Musical venue is worth the visit.
- Cons: Tourist prices and heavy crowds on the weekends.
