In terms of food, it was 3 out of 5, so a lot of emphasis was on the music. There were two bands that played throughout the afternoon towards midnight, with roughly 30 minute intermissions in between chunks of performances. Overall my partner and I enjoyed our time there, mainly because of the Memphis Soul Factory that offered phenomenal vocals.
The drinks were sugary and I couldn't really taste the alcohol, which could be a plus or minus depending on what one is looking for. I was just looking for a good time so I was okay with such. The crawfish poppers didn't have the crawfish flavor, unfortunately, and relied on the sauce for such. The gumbo had a lot of black pepper in it which provided a good amount of flavor, and it was an interesting combo having it with crackers. Finally, the shrimp po boy contained a good amount of shrimp which was nice, and the fries side was fresh and tasted good.
This establishment is probably one of the most well-known on Beale Street, and as much as it's a Blues club, we listened to a lot more R&B cover songs during our time there, so depending on the night, one may need to pick and choose depending on what type of music they're looking for.
