We celebrated a friend's birthday at this club. The music featuring the BB King Allstars with Natalie Young and Carl Stewart was a mixture of Motown, Classic Rock and Blues that appealed to everyone. We had a few appetizers that were really good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only problem to mention is that when it got really... More

This establishment was a disappointment. The overpriced cocktails were made from mixes of weak quality and were very skimpy with the alcohol. I had the sampler plate. The fried catfish was marginal in taste and there was little of it, the fried pickles were overlooked and the 4 wings were good but there should have been more of them. My... More

I'm not going to go into gory details but servers were confused, management didn't seem to care. It took over two+ hours for dinner only. Next time in Nashville, it's somewhere else. More

We visited BB King's place this weekend (1/29) and had a blast! We arrived early, around 6 because we wanted to get good seats and knew the place would get packed. Sure enough, around 8:30 or so the place started filling up and by 9:30 was SRO. We were privileged to see Carl Perkins and the BB King All Stars... More

Blues bar decor, check. Lots of locals, check. White cheddar mac'n'cheese, oh my gosh. Great food, reasonable prices, really friendly staff even when the place got packed. And the house band happened to be the BB King All Stars! Boy, we had a great time! More

This is a venue where you can enjoy a meal with your family while being entertained at the same time. At BB's, you will hear good music, enjoy well-prepared and delicious food in a great ambiance with good service. I recommend going when the Carl Stewart Band or house band performs. The Carl Stewart Band performs on Thursday, Friday and... More

Our first night in Nashville we went to BB King's. We didn't want dinner so they told us to look for seats at one of the three bars. There were no seats. After finding a table, we didn't leave. We were very impressed with the level of talent in the band. Regardless of how busy the club was, our service... More

We have been to BB Kings many times when we lived in the area. Awhile back we moved to a different state. We were thrilled to see that Stacy Mitchart was performing when we'd be in town. He didn't disappoint us but the restaurant did. Gone was the delicious fried green tomatoes. We tried the Memphis sausage appetizer and was... More

I really enjoyed this place. This is a great place for date night if you're looking for something fun and exciting to do. However since we were sitting close to the band there wasn't a lot of conversation but we were both enjoying the atmosphere. The band was great and the food was awesome. We had to pay a $5... More
