    I didn't realize this was a chain until I read some of the other posts and am glad I stopped in.  I generally don't visit chains but I might try another location if I run across one.

    The live music was great but nothing special in Nashville where it's everywhere at all times of the day, the jazz and blues was a little different from a majority of the other places.

    I had the chicken fried chicken and it was out of this world!  It was served over a creamy Mac-n-cheese and I was absolutely stuffed when I left. The chicken was tender, juicy and done to perfection.  That's why I would consider trying another location, that chicken fried chicken was fantastic!

    Our shuttle driver at from the Hampton Inn Vanderbilt gave us a few complementary no cover charge passes so we dropped in for dinner and a few sets.  I knew we were in for a good night of music and fun when I heard the band playing a great rendition of Prince's "Purple Rain".  

    Music (Five Stars)

    The band playing that night was the B.B. King Allstars featuring Natasha Young & Carl Stewart.  I thought Carl was a great singer, but Natasha belted it out of the park with her sultry performance of Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools". She interacted with the audience all night long especially with the song "I'll take you there" by the Staple Singers.  She had various patrons sing the chorus "I'll take you there" portion.

    Food (Four Stars)

    We had the following:

    FRIED DILL PICKLES small/large 5/8
    Fried dill pickle chips served with horseradish dipping sauce - good

    CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN $13
    Buttermilk marinated, breaded fried chicken breast served with white cheddar mac n' cheese and caramelized onion pan gravy - excellent

    BB'S FAMOUS BEER CHILI WITH A HINT OF OUR HOPS cup 5, bowl 7
    Ground beef chili with tomatoes, onions and bell pepper in a spicy cumin and chili tomato broth simmered in BB Brew. Topped with diced onions, sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese - very meaty, very good

    Service (Three Stars)
    Yes it was busy in their defense, but food, drinks, and refills were extremely slow. Rarely came by table to check on us.

    Décor / Amenities (Three Stars)

    Fair large dining area with a several bars.  Majority of the area can see the main stage unobstructed but some tables are cutoff. Found the dance floor a little small and majority of the patrons are brought in to their tables across it as the main dining area has railing segregating various portions which makes the dance floor the main thoroughfare.

    Prices (Four Stars)
    As you can see the food price were very reasonable and so were the drinks making it a great venue to hangout and listen and dance to great music.

    Overall a wonderful establishment (3.5 in my book)!

    Went here for dinner and music after NCAA tournament game.  We got free passes from someone handing them out on the street earlier in the day, which saved us $5 cover charge at the door.   The food was great we had ribs and fried chicken.  The band was jamming!

    I get it. B.B. King's is a chain. I'm not a fan of any chains and you wouldn't find me dead in the Hard Rock Cafe. I'm a firm believer that you should always try something new and pay attention to where the locals go. You may not find many locals in B.B. King's but you'll find me in there. Despite the obvious personal rule-breaking, I like B.B. King's for 3 reasons:

    1.) The live music good. For once, you can find a mixture of good classic rock, blues, and funk in one location. In one night I heard Stevie Ray Vaughn, Sam & Dave, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Only at B.B. King's will you find this.

    2.) It's not a honky-tonk. Downtown doesn't have a whole lot of options for the non-country music crowd and B.B. King's is a solution to that.

    3.) The space itself. The 2nd Avenue buildings are as historical as Nashville itself. There's something about rocking out in a venue just a block away from where Andrew Jackson (allegedly) had one of his first duels.

    If you're downtown and looking to escape the cowboy hats, swing by B.B. King's. Odds are, it's not too different from the other locations in Memphis or Las Vegas but you're certain to hear good live music.

    What can I say? When in Nasville, eat like the Nashvillians...
    BB King's House of Blues~or approximately named is a great downtown spot to saddle up and chow down.

    The waitress was so cute and really friendly...we even had her sit down to tell us all about the craziness in the mensroom what with the bathroom attendant and all...

    We surfed the menu and all agreed to try a BB King's special dish, which nybthe way, was a Fantastic idea!  

    Here is what we ate:
    Free deep fried pickle chips--free for "Checkin in"... Woohoo
    Chicken fried chicken--stellar
    Memphis salad--almost stellar
    Pork chop dinner--verging on almost stellar

    Our waiter was Kindle as i mentioned earlier, She was sweet.

    The Pandemonium malbec was a five exclamation mark choice!!!!!

    Bathroom attendant...oddly expectant of a tip?

    Live music in the evening. So Come early to avoid the cover charge which was $5...

    Drinks are expensive and I'm always against paying a cover, but the place is ALWAYS packed and the music is great.

    I attended a post-wedding reception party here a couple weeks ago and loved their private room. It was huge and our bartenders were great. The food was GOOD! Definitely worth a look if you're in the market for a party room.

    Being that I've seen B.B. King live, in-concert and have his CD's because my dad is a HUGE fan, I was really excited to check out his restaurant when we were in TN a couple years ago.

    And we're heading back down to Nashville this weekend, so I thought I'd Yelp about it in honor of our upcoming trip.

    We didn't have to wait too long to be sat (maybe 20 mins), and we enjoyed the live music as we waited. However, I found it to be WAY too loud. Otherwise, it was awesome!

    Our server was really quick, smiling and offered suggestions to us. We split the hush puppies for an appetizer, and I wanted to snarf them down myself, but I kept hearing my mom's voice saying, "Sharing is the best way to be a friend." So...I held my desire to rip the 'pups out of my friends hands. And whatever that spicy dipping sauce was? Nom nom nom....

    We ended up getting BBQ. Spice rub was decent but the smoky sauce was better. I know they've changed the menu up a bit, so I'm looking forward to trying some new things.

    My only "angry" moment was the next afternoon when we were leaving, we stopped by so I could get my dad a t-shirt, and they were CLOSED! But they didn't have a sign on the door indicating anything, and the door itself was open. So, I walked into the guest shop & was there for about 10 minutes before someone came out to tell me to basically get out. Haha.

    I would have gotten the t-shirt the night before, but we were going out afterward, and I didn't want to lose it in a drunken stupor.

    I'm anticipating my 2nd experience. Perhaps a follow-up is coming.

    Was able to walk in without a wait but that was the only good part about this place. Service was sub par and once finally got our food it wasn't much better. To make this visit even better, when I mentioned the delay in food service the waiter said he'd fix it. Looked at my bill when it arrived and he took off the beverages. A coke, coffee and tea. What a "discount". I gave it 1 star for the name and that was it.

    After a long drive down from Ohio, we wanted to go somewhere close with good food and good music. B.B. King's Blues Club was down the street from our hotel, so that's where we headed. A $5 cover at 8:30 on a Friday night was reasonable and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was really friendly and quite attentive, especially considering how big the place was and how many tables it looked like she was covering. The first band was finishing up the tail end of their set when we got in - long enough for us to appreciate the fantastic drummer and his grandfather who was playing bass.

    We got a spinach and parmesan dip appetizer, which was great and disappeared really quickly (leaving a plate full of tortilla chips left to finish). My illustrious companion had the mahi-mahi entree, which was apparently wonderful. The green beans were also great - probably because there was bacon in there, too. I had a very disappointing fried catfish po'boy. By po'boy, they mean a giant baguette with some lettuce and tomatoes, but no sauce. And the fried catfish was pretty tasteless.

    The ambience was awesome, the music was awesome, and the staff was awesome. I wish the food had lived up to the rest of it!

    I just got back from dinner at B.B. Kings.  I was promptly greeted, seated and waited on.  I paid $5 for the evening entertainment and it was worth it.  I ordered a side of hush puppies for an appetizer to go with my beer and for dinner I ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken topped with onion gravy and served on a bed of white cheddar penne.  The quality of the meal was outstanding.  I have no complaints and I will be back for the ribs.

    We came here a wednesday night. Good music, decent food and a decent beer selection thats pretty cheap. Tall's and cocktails get you free souvenir glasses, which makes it extra cool.

    If you happen to be near a touristy place and can get those flyers for local attractions, be sure to grab one for BB King's Blues Club to get free cover for two.

    So there's seven B.B King's Blues Clubs throughout the nation and none of which are in cities that B.B King called home. Interesting.

    There was a private party going on the evening I was in town but the front door lady was cool enough to let me go in and take a look around in exchange for holding my ID out front. I was the only guy in non-pressed khakis.

    Cool enough club. Good sound system (a live band was playing) and yet again, I missed B.B King performing there just two days before I got into town. (1)

    While cool because it's associated with The King, it looked and felt pretty much like every other bar on the quite lame stretch of 2nd Avenue. Neat selection of blues novelties and t-shirts in the front end of the restaurant, though.

    (1) I have been trying HARD to see B.B King live for about five years now and every time I think this is going to be the time, some shit comes up. Some work trip. Someone dies. His tour gets canceled. I get sick. I'm out of town...etc. It's driving my insane considering he's 85 damn years old and the clock is ticking. Next time... maybe...

    When we walked in, the music was so loud, we had to yell to be heard.  We didn't even know if we wanted to stay, but they put us in the side room, which was carpeted and the volume was just right..  CJ Vaughn was playing and they were very good.  We enjoyed all of his popular old hits, as well as his orginal music.

    I had the BB'S Pork Chop Dinner and my daughter had the Hickory Burger. They were both very good, but I think I'll try try the chopped pork the next time.  We also ordered a side of White Cheddar Mac & Cheese, which was outstanding!

    The wait staff was attentive and the meal come out in a timely manner. We loved the whole experience and will definitely go the next time we're in Nashville.

    The only thing I would change is the carpet.  It's very sticky and there's a "spongy" area in front of the bar that has a runner on it.

    We went on a locals night, but that made it even more fun!  The place was larger than I would have thought.  There isnt anything that stands out about the place.  The $10 cover was steep, but the manager was standing right beside us and knocked it to $5.  So that was cool.  Just had drinks.

    A group of 9 of us descended upon the place on a Friday night.  We were able to get a table at the back.  Tipping the hostess helped!  

    Music was good.  Two bands played.  What was a little odd was the first band walking around the place with a can.  A few of us tipped him, thinking he'd play for us. Nope.  He wandered back, got on the bar and proceeded to play.  

    The food is so-so.  I was disappointed that they serve chicken fried chicken on mac and cheese of all things.  You'd think that in Nashville, you could get chicken fried steak with white gravy and mashed potatoes.
    The BB King sampler was good with some ribs, fried pickles and green fried tomatoes.  Gotta love fried food!  

    Drinks are relatively cheap.  Service is pretty attentive.  I was impressed that our server gave us all individual checks as we were all on business and needed receipts for reimbursement.

    C'mon.  Let's cut it out, America.  No more themed restaurants with a famous musician/celebrity behind it.

    Or how about this, if you're a celebrity and want to open a restaurant, then just open one.  The world has enough chain restaurants...and apparently B.B. Kings Blues Club is just another one.

    First off, don't come here for lunch.  Waste of money.
    I can't really say much for the night life because I didn't come here.  Maybe it's good, but I'm guessing it's really just the music that does the job, 'cuz the food ain't great.

    So we came in and the place was dead.  Granted, it was a Tuesday at around 2pm, so if there was a lunch rush, they had long since finished up.  HOWEVER (and I'm talking to you staff), just because it's dead doesn't mean we don't deserve crappy service.

    The hostess that didn't greet us made sure to finish a personal phone call before helping us out.  The waitress that eventually got to us took TEN minutes to get us 2 beers.  During that time, another waiter came up to ask us what we wanted to drink.  Which means he had no idea someone took his table and was showing up to the party extremely late.

    She eventually came back with the drinks, and then took our order.  No personality, no smile, just pregnant and morose.  

    I ordered the Chicken and Waffles with the hot sauce on the side.  My co-worker grabbed the Fried Chicken sandwich.  After a long while, the food came out.  Could they try to make the plate look good?!  Honestly, three strips of chicken (with the sauce on it) and two waffles on a plain white plate.  Very boring presentation.  The chicken was no different from a bag of frozen Tyson's chicken fingers, and the waffles were hard and a small step up from Eggo.  My coworker said she could have received the same sandwich at Wendy's.

    Finally, we decided to leave, but had to wait ten more minutes for the bill.  

    Terrible time.  Don't go here for lunch.

    Loud and rowdy (like most of the downtown Nashville honky tonks): this is not the place to go for great food and conversation. But if you want some smokin hot riffs served up with ice cold beer and, yes, surprisingly good food, make time for this place. I had a great time and left full; but make no mistake, this place is more about the circus than the bread.

    My girlfriend and I had a great time at this place. The music was great even though its not my normal type of music. The beers were good and the mixed drinks were nice according to my girlfriend. She had the prime rib which was slightly over cooked. I had some type of sandwich (the type alludes me due to the alcohol and it was a week ago). I enjoyed it. The fries were good. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Nashville.

    Being that I'm from Tx where In my opinion in all my travels has the best spots for live music!, However I really enjoyed BB Kings. The service was great considering how packed it was on a Sat night! Food was pretty good as well and as for the music best believe if we didin't have prior reservations 2 jokes and jazz, My lady and I would have been all on that dance floor! (I did get in on the Cupid shuffle though!)...two thumbs up!

    This was pretty much what I expected from a blues club on Nashville's 2nd Ave - a $5 cover, average food, loud (but good) music, and a couple of drunks getting escorted out while we ate.

    A group of us had dinner here on a Thursday night.  Even though there was live music, the place was only half full, with most people in the bar area at the back of the place.  But, that didn't stop them from putting us at a table along the main path of traffic - so that I was bumped into by every person who walked by.

    The music was great, but almost too loud to even hear the person next to you.  We got a 30 minute respite during the band's break.

    The food was good, it's a mix of barbeque and cajun classics.  I had some really good pulled pork, and tried the Memphis-style ribs, which were above par.  My side of beans was just barbeque sauce and 3 beans.  But the coleslaw was excellent.

    One thing really irked me, though.  Since we were a group of 7, a 20% gratuity was added to our bill.  Not a problem since the service was pretty good.  But, when I got my change back, our server had rounded up to the next dollar.  Now, I know it was only a couple of quarters, but I would have liked to make the decision to give them or keep them.

    One final note, this place has the most aggressive bathroom attendant ever.  He came at me like a ninja with a lint roller. I felt like I couldn't have left without tipping, so I did.

    I came here for dinner with some coworkers. The drinks were excellent, the food was ok, and the music was good. The downside: screaming at each other to have a conversation. I get it, it's a blues bar, there is live music, but I prefer something a little quieter.

    Had a great time here. Found a flyer that got us in for free in one of those traveling pamphlet stands in the hotel I booked. It was free cover OR free fried pickle appetizer. We chose the free cover. (It was $5 at the time we went on a wednesday night.) There was a pretty good band, and they had a guest guitarist who was very good. They put on a great blues show, and the guest guitarist came out into the crowd and wandered around and took pictures with some people.
    If you order these particular drinks you get a free cup. My companion ordered a 20 oz beer, I ordered a 20 oz cocktail. His came in a beer cup. Mine came in a cool, bell shaped cocktail glass. Part of the gimmic was that you get to keep the cup with the BB KING blues joint logo. I thought you physically take the cup with you. My waitor told me to show my receipt to the hostess, so I grabbed our glasses, took my receipt and tried to walk out. They weren't having that. They gave us 2 cups wrapped in newspaper. Cool I thought, until we got home and realized it was 2 beer cups, and I had wanted the cocktail glass. Too bad. They also have commemorative shot glasses, and some cool shirts to buy.

    I'd definitely come here again.

    If you plan on eating here then you either have a coupon, are a tourist, or are related to some one performing that night.  This place screams "Gimmick."  If anything is an indicator, trust the staff b/c they don't seem to like the place very much.  Their condescending tone shows that they expect you to know how their rules of the restaurant before you sit down.  Their menu is something directly from SYSCO's pre-prepared food catalog.  "Shipped, microwaved, and served... don't forget to tip!"  
    If you like their food, I don't blame you... it's the MSG that makes you want it.

    I apologize for all the tourists who've come to our "music city" and think they've experienced Nashville.  Pick up a "Nashville Scene" paper and you'll find plenty of legit venues for music.  Coming to Nashville to eat at BB King's is like going to Hollywood California and eating at a Planet Hollywood.  

    I'm no musician but I will say that the music can be good.  But if you've performed at BB King's you know better than anybody that you got exploited.

    We had a great experience at B.B.

    I have only been to BB Kings for events that have been held here--it's great for that.  Very large space--there are several rooms, and several bars, as well as a stage and pretty big dance area.  

    The food is decent--again, I've only eaten it at events so I'm not sure how different it is if you sit down for dinner.  It's basically upscale bar food though.  Lots of fried stuff!  The bands there are fun--a lot of blues and jazz, as the name implies--but you can book any band for a private party.

    This is a great space for groups because of the size, and it's not as cheesy as some of the other establishments on 2nd Avenue!

    Attended this place one night with all (75) of my co workers.  Well served buffet of chicken fried chicken, BBQ, veggies, salad...etc.  I was impressed by there service and that the food was hot...not luke warm.

    I would go back for self paid meal just to try again!

    Generally has live music on the weekends as well that was pretty decent.       Though it appears that good music is pretty standard for just about anywhere in downtown Nashville.

    The BBQ Salmon with sausage and shrimp is one of the 10 best meal I have ever had. The music on Saturday night was also 1st class. The band was amazingly talented. I was beyond impressed. This place would make BB proud.

    I've been to this place several times. It's always on weeknights on business trip. Food is so-so but that's usually not the main reason to go. We go there for the live music. They have performances ranging from blues, jazz, R&B, and soul. Two weeks ago we went on a Wednesday night and a band call Burning Las Vegas was playing and

    Good music but only fair food. Had Roasted Chicken, was tasteless and needed salt. Fried pickles were good.

    For my stellar son and my beautiful daughter whom I'm anxious to meet. And for my wife who has given to me everything I hold dear: her love, and our children.

    As of now, I dedicate my reviews people. Deal.

    I was staying at the soulless Gaylord so it was a real treat for me to come to BB's soulful blues club. Im gonna break it down for ya.

    *The Ride There*
    I bought the shuttle ride from  the Gaylord to the Wild Horse Saloon and walked to BB's. It was 15 dollars round trip, compared to 50 bucks round  trip for a taxi.

    *The Music*
    I went there on a Monday which apparently is a night that The Stacy Mitchhart Band regularly plays. They were great. They could work a croud, they could work the drums, the sax, the horn, the guitar, the bass, and  the piano.

    *The Drinks*
    I ordered  the Hoochie Coochie. I loved it. I had 3 of them. I followed it up with a Stella Artois.

    *The Food*
    I ordered a simple chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese and some darn fine Bar-B-Que sauce. I subbed the fries for Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was pretty good. The portion could have been larger, and there was a meager substitution charge. But they were good. The portion size may not have been what I wanted, but it was more than I needed. The sandwich with the sauce was D -lish. Ous. Delicious.

    The sandwich comes with a pickle spear, but my server being the bad a$$ she is snagged me some extra at my request. This brings me to  the most important section.

    *The Service *
    Imagine something really cool that's happened to you like winning a raffle or watching someone pitch a perfect game live. These are some of the many feelings I felt after being served by Kindle. She was prompt, courteous, friendly as all get-out, and cute as a button. A really freaking cute button. She was the cat's purr which I think we can all agree is by far better than the cat's meow. Thank you for your service, Kindle. You deserve a raise.

    I was so smitten by the music, the food, and Kindle by the end of the night Kindle could have poured Bar-B-Que sauce on me and I would have cooly replied, "I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience my body or my white shirt has caused your exquisite Bar-B-Que sauce. I assure you such impropriety will never occur again."

    *The Ride Back*
    The last shuttle leaves at 11:30. I would have loved to have stayed later. I so wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel. But, the band stopped around then, and while the thrill wasn't gone yet, I feared it might soon be. Too much of a good thing, might just be a bad thing.

    *In Conclusion*
    Your results may vary, for I surely must have stumbled upon some rare astrological occasion when all the planets and their moons aligned such that if you were to connect them, such connection would spell "Daniel, the universe loves you. Big Time.".

    But, I have never in all my travels been to a place which made me feel so at home (thanks the personable, friendly service of Kindle), and so poignantly home sick (thanks to the immersive talent of The Stacy Mitchart Band).

    My only regret, is that I forgot to redeem my receipt for my souvenier glass. I think that if I ever make it back to Nashville I shall forget it again, so that I will always have a reason to return.

    Thank You, BB. You made it happen.
    - Daniel "The Yellow Dart" L

    I give this place 3 stars only because of the live music. Visited on a Thursday night the band was awesome which made up for my flavorless food and mediocre service. I was with a party of 6 and only 1 person thought their food was good.

    This place is pretty cool. We stopped by since we had a coupon on our way through Nashville. We had the fried dill pickles-yum!! Although a little too greasy, but it's fried so what do you expect? Their mac and cheese is really good, as well as are thre cornbread biscuits and green beans. My date had the chicken fried chicken which was yummy!! The live music is a blast-we heard three different groups in the span of three hours! Fun place to get the night started!

    Expensive. With below average food. I got the barbq beef sandwich. Hardly any meat on a dry bun. With Sysco fries. Blah. The service was pitiful. The music was good, hence the 2 stars.
