We were staying at Memphis on our way back home and visited this place. My wife and I had a lot of fun listening to the music and eating here. And Paul was absolutely fantastic. We got some sausage and wings with fries for appetizer and it was great. The sausage was just unlike any sausage I have had before, so I'd suggest getting that if you can. It's not on the menu, but you can just ask for an order. The wings were amazing too, although we liked the buffalo a bit better than the dry rub. And then the main course, the ribs, were amazing, and so were the sides. The bands that played were great as well and really added to our enjoyment of the food. If you want to have fun and have nice food and drinks, definitely check this place out. The $10 cover is worth it.

Went to vibe by myself. First time here. It was a great experience. The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the catfish and shrimp. It came out piping hot and fresh. I don’t eat catfish for the most part. This was the best I’ve ever eaten. I took a chance on ordering it because I had a taste for fish. I was completely satisfied! Also, the staff were very friendly, polite, attentive and professional. The entertainment was off the chain! Live Blues! I vibed out for about 3 hours. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend this establishment!

We went on a Friday night, around 6. Not crowded, so we got or party of 3 seated quickly. Our server Tiffany was quick to take our drink & appetizer order. The tots and cocktails came out quickly. The band was terrific and Tiffany was attentive to our needs. Our order of chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits, & pulled pork plate came out timely & hot. Everything was delicious and plentiful. The drinks flowed smoothly, the band rocked, and a good time was had by all!!

We were here for a family reunion lunch. As the event planner, from setting this up to the actual date, Kathrine Corvelli, the National Sales Director was excellent. She was quick to respond to what probably seemed like endless questions and changes. The food, of course, was delicious and the service, (sorry I can't recall our server's name), was great! We had a lot of requests and they were handled promptly and professionally. The bartender was also polite and helpful with keeping me updated on the expense. The music was a highlight! I absolutely recommend a visit here!

The music ... it is all about the music. We paid $10 apiece to get in (ugh!) then listened as the bands constantly asked for tips and more tips. My wife and I always tip well so the encouragement from the microphone is not needed or appreciated. If you love to perform, then perform and money will follow. Shrimp po-boy was .. uh .. average. Wait staff was excellent.

Had a lovely dinner in here. Service was amazing. Staff really friendly. Cocktails really nice. Yes it's 10 dollars in each but cocktails are cheaper and very good atmosphere. I just wish they had music/CD/dj between sets and breaks. Once band stops, there is an awful silence and it is really strange. Place was great and staff amazing.

There was a ten dollar cover charge, but it allows you back in all day, so we plan on returning in the evening for more drinks/music. The ribs were amazing, so was the Mac and cheese, the drinks are good, but a bit overpriced for the 2oz max of alcohol that was in them. The dark beer they have on tap is good too . I gave the service 4 stars because we waited for a long time for our food. Meanwhile other people that arrived after us got theirs. They blamed it on running out of paper in a printer. However, while we were waiting for 40min and I ran out of beer, they never came to check. I think we were forgotten. The band they had was pretty good and we enjoyed the music.

Good eats & great music for a quick getaway! Waitress suggested the meatloaf dinner, nothing I've ever ordered, so I decided to try something new! It was quite tasty, wrapped in bacon & ketchup bbq sauce topping with fried onion petals. Side of mashed pots would've been so much better if they weren't from the box & sautéed veggies were great, zucchini, onions, red pepper mix! Next time I'm getting what I went for, those ribs! Also tried a few of the loaded tots foe an appetizer, very tasty! I recommend getting a table if you go, you'll get faster service. Music was fantastic and the 1st singer, she has amazing energy and love! Overall, great 1st trip!

Our trip to Memphis was so much fun and we couldn't leave without visiting the Home of the Blues!! We were lucky to get to BB Kings just as the entertainment was going on stage!! The music was fun, the service was on point and the food was delicious!

We went for the music and ribs - both were awesome!! Great vibe all around! So good, we came back the next night and saw a different great band and had more ribs and Mac-n-cheese! Yummy!! The cover charge added on to our price per person, yet worth it!

How could you go to Beale Street and not go enjoy some music at BB Kings? The atmosphere is truly amazing with the live music and how the place is set up. For a bar, this place had some really good food with the nachos being really good. The drinks were top notch as well. Slightly pricey, but expected for the touristy style place but worth it and worth it for the music alone.

$10 cover charge to get in was well worth the price of admission. The 2 bands I heard both sounded great. They all played well with each other and had a high level of talent. It’s a neat, intimate place despite being probably the number 1 tourist destination on Beale st. I visited early in the afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with a clear view of the band on stage. Favorite song was a nice 10 minute rendition of Hendrix’s “all along the watchtower” nice solos and jam sessions throughout. The first band finished and 25 minutes later the next was playing. Both were equally good and each had their own style. Service was good. I opted for the $28 bbq chicken and rib combo. The guy at the bar next to me had the same and recommended an extra side of bbq sauce for the chicken. The ribs were a 3/5 perfectly acceptable but not mind blowing. It was a big portion. The chicken was surprisingly the star of the show. Probably the best chicken I’ve had in recent memory. 5/5 The sides were just ok. 3/5 there is a little bit of pork in the beans and the coleslaw was pretty bland by Tennessee standards. I would return again, but probably opt for a sandwich and just focus on the music next time. It was a blast, and the food was good enough. Go if you have any appreciation for excellent live music. The gift shop has reasonably priced souvenirs. Much like the rest of Beale street

The place had an awesome atmosphere and truly great live music. In the end I think it was worth it, but I do want to warn everyone that there is a $10 PER PERSON “entertainment fee” just to get inside, so that is in addition to all food, drinks, and tips. If you keep your receipt you can come and go all day without paying another entertainment fee. Never seen this type of fee outside of New Orleans where they do it for certain famous acts, so still surprised by this for normal live music, but again I feel in the end the experience was worth it. Most tables seem to have a good view of the stage, sitting on the edge upstairs was where we were, and we really liked that view. The food was really good, I was shocked, better than most places you would consider to have good food. Also one last thing, the bathrooms were nice and clean.

What a place! Visited from NC to celebrate a birthday on a Sunday evening. It was surprisingly busy for a Sunday. We ordered the blackened chicken carbonara and the bbq platter, and finished up with the bread pudding. All of it was fantastic, a real taste of memphis. Our server was very patient and carried on pleasant conversation with out party, answering questions about the food and city as well. It was a very pleasurable visit, highly reccommended

Everything was awesome. The food was amazing and the service was great. I didn't like having to pay to get in and then pay to eat. Felt like I got hit twice. That needs to change in my opinion.

Went to get some food and drinks at this place. There was a $10 cover fee to get inside. We ordered a half rack of ribs which was pretty good. It was nice to see some live music entertainment here also.

The meals are huge! Between 6 of us we shared 4 starters and each had an entree. Way too much. Could have shared 1 starter and our own entree. The music was incredible. Tina Turner singer was so good. Band was awesome. I had the blackened chicken pasta and it was amazing, but there was so much leftovers.

We spent the day in Memphis and saw all the sights. Come dinner time, Beale Street was calling out to us. If you're looking for some mouth-watering, make-you-call-your-mama deliciousness kind of food, come to BB King Blues Club in Memphis. The BBQ pulled pork tator-tots plate was gone in seconds. The full slab of BB's Famous Ribs were fall-off-the-bone succulent, alongside the baked beans and slaw. The ribs were good even good naked! There was no "hush" about the hush puppies because we were going on about the crisp on the outside and the flavor and softness on the inside. If you want a good stiff, well-made drink, order yourself a Strong Island Iced Tea. That bartender knows his stuff!! The BB King's Blues Club All-Star Band was exactly what the doctor ordered for an evening out with friends. Whether you wanted to sit back to listen or to shake your tail feathers, they are some talented individuals on stage giving me ear-gasms, pulling me back to earlier times. People were getting up and heading to the dance floor. Lastly, the service is amazing, friendly and efficient. Cover is $10. There are tables/seating on the lower floor surrounding the stage. There is also upstairs seating as well. Or, you can sit yourself at the bar. Every seat is a great seat in the house! So, come on down. I dare you to treat yourself to a spectacular night!!!
