Highly overrated. The Best Meal on Beale* is far from it. The ribs are cooked perfectly but very bland in flavor. No seasoning at all. The fish was ok but could also use more seasoning. The bbq sauce was the best part of the meal. I do not understand why people give this place such good ratings.

The food was good here. I went to the restaurant and the club across the street and had a great time! Live music/band, the food and drinks were good!! I will return!

Great music. The food follows the general standard of the region. Honest. Everything is far superior to that offered by the B.B.King Blues Club.

Outside of the outstanding service, we had the best BBQ ribs we've ever had. In fact, we learned that good BBQ ribs you can eat with a fork (it is still frowned upon though ?)

I’ve been a few times. Food is good. Customer service is not. Visit the city of Memphis yearly and will not return to this restaurant. They have rules to seat you in designated areas based upon the # in your party, even when the restaurant is not busy. Would be great if I were not seated underneath a filthy car in an area that is not clean because I have less than 4 in my party. If the area is not clean, the great food is less enjoyable. Caution….as the attitude is always subpar. I realize my little $ do not matter, BUT they matter to me and I chose to spend elsewhere.

The best ribs in Memphis! Loved my visit and can’t wait to return again soon! Comedy value from the servers, and great atmosphere and music. A must visit!
