Absolute 5 stars for this local soulful spot. The owners were kind (more so the wife than the husband) and accommodated us for our seating needs both over the phone during reservation time and while seating day of. The gospel band True Reality was an absolute blessing to our Sunday. We left feeling revived and joyed. The food was also really great especially for a buffet. We loved the catfish bites, grits, chicken wings, and collard greens a lot. The desserts were also good and not too heavy. Love that they have other bands perform throughout the week and additionally, a great happy hour! 10/10

Terrific service and good food I’d love a bit more salt, but it’s Florida, so I do understand the difficulty for restaurants. Definitely will come back for the music too.

Wanted to try out a local business with music so made out way here. The Memphis Rub Band was playing. They were a Blues Rock Band and they were awesome. The Blue ROOSTER has entertainment lined up many nights during week. With the entertainment comes a $5 cover charge. They don't have an ATM and I never carry cash so they let us add it to our bill. We only ordered the duck wings since we weren't starving and OMG they were surprisingly delicious. We almost ordered a second round. I'm still thinking about them the next day hahaha. As the place had every table filled , We sat at the bar. Our bartender was extremely friendly and helpful. Prices average.

Great food, great prices, great service. This place gets it and LOVES AMERICA. One of the greatest blues/rock bands I've heard in a long long time. Check out Memphis Lightning, they are amazing.

The Sunday Gospel Brunch was fabulous!! We loved it. It was highly recommended to me and it didn't disappoint. Try the Bloody Mary, it's delicious! They no longer have the buffet, but offered a nice menu.
