The BBQ was pretty near perfect. Had half rack of ribs and catfish... amazing experience.

Beale Street in Memphis is a tough one for food. It's all around the edges but within the road blocks, where all the lights are, it's a tough one! We found Blues City Cafe because the line outside of BB Kings was too long and it was too cold. So very thankful we did, it was amazing! I will forever crave those little paper wrapped tamales and chili and am kicking myself today for not getting a few orders to go!! The ribs are phenomenal, best we've had anywhere in a long time and BBQ is usually our go to. Steak fries, hot and crispy and a pork chop smokey and tender. Everything about our meal was top notch and our server Shaq made sure the entire experience was one to remember! We'll be back for sure, the tamales are calling my name! Oh, I left a little 3D print keychain, if you find it, let me know on FB at #3DFind!
Absolutely fantastic, damn near perfect ribs. As with many BBQ joints, the sides are decent, but the meat is just wonderful. Not totally falling apart, good texture, juicy and meaty

We walked here from the crowne plaza hotel about a 15 min straight straight shot walk. We had the seafood stuffed mushrooms which were fantastic and we also had the chicken tenders with fries. The tenders were great but just a simple fried tender no seasoning or anything just simple. This was first time in and first meal while being here for a convention I was satisfied. I also had there coffee it was great.
Everything was perfect… food, employees, and the environment. I will definitely come back. Thank you Blue City Cafe..!!!

Food was good. Had the ribs. The gumbo was excellent. Depending on where you sit the atmosphere is either good or bad. Prices are really high if you ask me.

Located right in the heart of Beale Street, Blues City Cafe is my go to place for mouthwatering ribs in Memphis. Every dish I’ve tried from tamales and chili to shrimp and anything else on the menu is incredibly tasty. The lively atmosphere and unbeatable location make it a must visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Memphis flavor and Southern hospitality. Definitely a top pick when you're on Beale Street!

Chef Larry's Greens were some of the best I've ever had. Stuffed mushrooms were also amazing. I can't wait to be back to try more.

We went to this cafe because we heard it was supposed to be great. Well, the ribs were just ok, dry/hard on the outside but inside was ok. The fries were disappointing - soggy and not much taste, beans and claw were fine. The service was bad - we asked to be seated in the booth farther away from the cold entrance but they wouldn't allow us although a few tables were available.. Our waiter (Jordan, I think her name was) was slow and inattentive, also forgot some of our orders..
