Leticia McDougaldJuly 26, 2013The food was excellent. I had the jumbo crab cake entree and my fiancé had Steak with mashed potatoes & spinach, BOTH plates went back clean. Definitely will be back.
Excellent Prix Fix menu for $22.95 til 7pm & signature "The BB" which is a beer and burger special for $9.95 with each additional beer being 2 dollars. You can sub the beer for a soft drink. Must go.
Bianca Jean CharlesJuly 20, 2015I went there during reggae night. I had a great time. The line was long however, it was moving smoothly. Some of the bartenders aren't as fast as other in terms of serving people drinks.
Mary BaranskiOctober 5, 2016We flew OKC to NYC for New Years's Eve with blues music, buffet & space to see drop. No blues just loud crap, small snack table, closed circuit TV for drop, 2 bartenders & 2 of 3 ladies stalls workng
SusumuJanuary 30, 2016It's located in a very convenient place. It's not really good music venue for Hip Hop concert, but good for live band concert.
Ken Pierre IIAugust 7, 2014More for a younger crowd on sat! But the Long Island iced teas will have u crawling home! Great fun
Lauren GundrumOctober 17, 2011Concert venue inside BB King's (with an awesome Beatle's brunch every Saturday!). For something more low-key, try Lucille's Grill (the lounge next door), which has free live jazz every night.
Gilt CityMarch 9, 2011Check out the legendary Harlem Gospel Choir brunch here every Sunday -- it's perfect for the bored church-goer, music lover, soul food connoisseur, urban adventurer... you get it.
Paige COctober 17, 2015Food was good, service was excellent even during a sold out show. Our waitress was great.
James RiosDecember 29, 2017Great intimate venue for concerts. Good food though pricey as you might expect.
Danilo LeeNovember 9, 2012An ultimate Blues experience and fine dining.Porterhouse steak with mushrooms and cream of spinach are excellent choice.
RaniaApril 8, 2017Discovered this place by accident on a night out in NYC. The food and service were okay but the band performing that night was better.
VH1July 22, 2010The best view is from either a booth or right up front. If you grab a booth, be sure to have the 38oz sharing steak. – Pete from One eskimO
Farra TrompeterDecember 24, 2013Awesome love music. Food a bit overpriced for what it is. You will meet minimum with one drink order eat dinner before you go.
Alejandra García-BadoMay 3, 2015The Harlem Gospel Choir is amazing. The food is not good but we spend a great time
Jason BligenJuly 9, 2013Glad to be back at B.B. Kings, gonna try the beefsteak tomato & mozzarella salad with a bottle of Alamos Malbec.
- Michael HowardMarch 3, 2015Try to stay away from the expensive, subpar food if you can. Ordered a burger, (unseasoned) chicken and waffles and 2 drinks and dropped over 80 dollars. The show was amazing though.
Advertising WeekSeptember 26, 2010Great sessions abound -- with appearances by advertising leaders, it's also home to the a session on the first MTV TJ, Billboard Conversation and a session with Cyndi Lauper.
AlexOctober 29, 2010BB Kings Ale is made by Magic Hat and tastes just like their #9 beer just a bit hoppier. The hot wings are expensive but very good.
Built by the FactoryAugust 4, 2011Always stay up to date on latest shows at B.B. King Blues Club on their website
Unfortunately they have roaches... which I discovered last night while watching Paul Mooney and this one crawled out on our table to join us! Smh... Never eating here again!
Tom JosephApril 9, 2015The Harlem Gospel Choir brunch was an interesting experience but very touristy and pretty uninspiring buffet
Compton HimselfAugust 5, 2010Each and every Saturday night there are over 1000+ people in attendance for the biggest weekly party in the city! All women are free before 12:30 an men reduced. Just say "Make It Happen" guest list a
Marlo GOctober 18, 2011Get ready to sweat cause it is hot in herrre! Wear light clothes and bring money to buy drinks to cool you!
Warren LaidlerNovember 22, 2010I love this place. Some time I go to check out the fights other times I go for the live entertainment. Great spot.
- book a booth for shows - better service and much more intimate and comfy
Aldo MorenoSeptember 10, 2014Come just for the live music and bands, the food in Lucille's its TERRIBLE and expensive, very few drink options.
Greg BodenairMarch 20, 2012Try the Ny Strip Loin With Port Wine Raisin Sauce - Nom nom at @HSMAINewYork luncheon #HSMAINY
Carrot CreativeFebruary 19, 2013Advertising Week hangout spot. Come here for more intimate sessions.
