    Arrived 5 minutes early for a 7 pm reservation and we were told they were full and didn't have a table for us. Asked to see the manager or hostess to resolve. Hostess was irritated and gave us the impression we were bothering her. The staff all looked stressed and the restaurant seemed to be under staffed. We finally were seated and it took close to 45 minutes for a glass of wine, a beer, a bowl of Jambalaya and a Cesar chicken wrap. We almost didn't make the 8 pm performance (an hour for dinner should have been sufficient). Chicken in the wrap was so dry it was barely edible; jambalaya was good. Our server was very good but was rushing to cover all her tables. Our issue was with the front staff, the timeliness of the food and the quality of the food.

    Great place to catch a show. Cool venue/ambiance. However, get dinner elsewhere. Food was terrible.

    It was our first time dining at the House of Blues. I don't know if we would return. Unfortunately, our sever was not very friendly or proficient in customer service. When we all had ordered drinks 4 of us received our drinks. We waited on our last guest to get theirs to cheers as we were celebrating my birthday. We waited for Conner to return 20 minutes later just to tell us they didn't have 805 on draft and asked if he would accept a can. He said yes, then that took another 10 minutes to get. I had walked to the bar to inquire about our guests drink and the employee behind the bar was rude and not helpful at all. Then when going to attend the concert there were 3 lines VIP, Fast Pass & General Admission. They let VIP in but then they let Fast Pass and General Admission in at the same time. I had heard good things about the House of Blues, yet was very disappointed by our experience.

    Making reservations was the way. Happy prices were a great deal even on event night. Service was less than ok. Need to ask about napkins and to check on drink orders. Food was a great value from the happy hour menu, not from normal menu. It was dark In there to read the menu so bring your phone flashlight. Eating there before an event got us “Fast passes” which was a great treat! Overall a good night out!
