Nice staff, clean dining areas. Food seemed out of a box or was instant. We arrived about 1130 just after they opened and ordered jambalaya and meatloaf. The meatloaf looked pre-made and frozen. The jambalaya's rice was hard and hardly warm. Avoid, expensive and not too good.

We stopped in on our first day in Orlando and left very satisfied. We opted for burgers and wings for everyone along with some cold beverages. The burgers were very tasty and the beer was ice cold. The decor was pretty cool and comfortable. I'm sure we got lucky and didn't have to wait for a table at all as... More

The House of Blues is good to visit during the day and night. During the day bands may play outside and there is a cocktail bar for refreshments. Inside is very interesting to see, the music also sets the scene. The food is yummy and the service is very good.

We had a fairly large group and they were great to work with - separating out bills. The food arrived to the table hot and as ordered - no mix-ups which is great with a group. We enjoyed a leisurely meal - excellent appetizers to split and very delicious entrees. The service was friendly and it wasn't hard to find... More

Alcoholic drinks were fairly priced... More

We went here as part of a corporate group. The food was good for a buffet and the entertainment was also fun. The bands got the crowd going and we all enjoyed it.,,

I had heard the Gospel Brunch was not to be missed, but I always assumed it was for the entertainment. Well, the food is just as good and the Southern style brunch buffet was certainly worth the relatively high admission price. If you are a fan of Southern and Soul food, this is a must.

My first visit to any of the House of Blues and I was not disappointed. My wife and I had stopped in for a couple of drinks while we sat and relaxed. No music or entertainment that night but you can feel the atmosphere in the building. The service was good and the drinks were cold.
