Loved everything about BB King’s! The reservation process was easy and they greeted us with a smile, my mother in law had a walker and the assisted her getting to our table. Our server Rachel and her shadow Mya were so nice and helpful. The food was incredible!! Best Memphis pulled pork I’ve ever had. The portions were just right, not huge. The brownie sundae was awesome!! The music from the band was terrific! Great addition to the meal and created a very memorable experience. If your a tourist in Memphis, this is a great place to to go get a bit of Southern hospitality!

The overall experience was perfect for Beale Street. The music was bluesy, the ribs melted in my mouth. The catfish platter was also cooked to perfection. The service was helpful and friendly. Great experience!

We stopped here on our way back home to Southern CA. The food was delicious and the entertainment was good. You must try the bbq. The meat falls right off the bone. We will definitely be back.

BBKings needs to be taken off OpenTable. They do not “hold” tables. That is what the rude lady told us that was greeting guest at the door and assigning tables. Also there was a $20 cover charge fee that was not told to us on the Open Table App and not on their website . Terrible experience!

If you are going to Memphis, do you definitely need to visit B.B. King’s restaurant. We were there on a Friday evening around 5 PM and were able to catch the band Memphis Jones. They were outstanding!! We shared a plate of nachos with pork and had a couple cold beverages, and it couldn’t have been any better.
