B.B. King's Blues Club

The 21 Best Restaurants in Memphis, Tennessee | Eater Nashville

"Perhaps the most famous establishment in all of Memphis, the homes of blues music, B.B. King’s Blues Club continues to offer high-quality life music every evening with a booming sound system and towering stage. Tables and counter seats are littered about the two-floor club, offering plenty of views of the music acts, which change every evening. Surprisingly, the food is very solid, especially the gumbo, which offers a burly dark roux base, heavy spices, solid chunks of Andouille sausage, and a scoop of a plump rice to bring it all together. Other bites are well-made, too, including fried catfish and French fries. Don’t expect the food to wow you, but that’s not why you’re here anyway. The tunes are dance-worthy and plenty of fun, especially with a huge ice cream sundae to finish." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
