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

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 stage on weekdays, while larger national acts play weekends. On weekends there are two bars--one inside, one out on the blocked-off Beale Street--where you can order your cocktail, beer or shooter.

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.

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.
