    Had a very good experience at House of Blues for dinner before a concert last night. We ordered the Voodoo Shrimp, Nashville Hot Chicken and added a Southern salad. The shrimp was hearty and had great flavor. The chicken wasn't too hot, and was a large portion. So glad we added the salad, it was bright and a cool contrast to our heavier entrees. Love the live music while dining. A very good one man band that took requests from the other diners. Service was quick and friendly so we could get upstairs for the show.

    Love the House of Blues. Ate at the restaurant before going to see Wilder Woods. Friendly service and great food. Also got a voucher to skip the line and get into the venue first for eating at the restaurant first. Look forward to going again.

    Music was great but the clients didn’t care at all. They were speaking very loud and some were even playing videos on their phone at full volume… even the staff spoke very loud (I could even hear the kitchen staff from my table…). I found it so disrespectful for the artist who worked so hard to perform tonight.

    The food was horrible. We ordered five different dishes, and each one was not pleasant. Their gumbo, which I’ve had numerous of times in Orlando, Florida, state on the menu that it did not have okra, but when it came out, it in fact, had okra . The menu was nothing like the other house of blues restaurants I’ve visited before . Everything was different and not tasteful at all . The service, however, was really good. We arrived an hour early for our reservation and they figured out a way to get a seated.  The music was awesome very soulful and blues.

    The live music we experienced from two different bands was awesome. Both the food and service was great. The only thing I had an issue with was the Cadillac Margarita which tasted like that Margarita mix with no alcohol. It was disgusting. It was a wasted $14. Overall, I had a good experience and would return and order another drink maybe , or soda lol!

    We went for a birthday and the restaurant was way understaffed. Our waiter Osiris had serious attitude and answered simple questions in a condescending manner. He had way to many tables which caused our water glasses not be refilled until the third request. The food was mediocre. As vegetarians we ordered the veggie burger- tasteless and uninspired the Brussels sprouts which were fine and the Mac and cheese which had no flavor. We also belong to the foundation room upstairs and were supposed to get a food discount- shockingly they had no way to contact the foundation room as we didn’t have our membership card- the music was good but made the room so loud you could barely converse. It’s amazing because the foundation room food has always been top notch. And it was not cheap. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

    Loved the music and the food was good but service was awful. No water refills the entire time, took forever to take the order, didn't check on the food until we were halfway done, didn't bring a drink for 20min. Won't dine there again but probably fine for music at the bar.
