Review by Eriberto Watsica

Blues City Cafe is a gem on Beale Street! 🌟 I visited with friends for dinner and was instantly drawn in by the vibrant atmosphere and live music. The fall-off-the-bone ribs are a must-try, paired wonderfully with their tangy coleslaw. The seafood gumbo truly stood out with its rich, savory flavor - definitely my highlight!

Our server Erica was energetic and attentive, making our experience delightful. Just be ready for a bit of a wait during peak times but trust me, the food is worth it! Can’t wait to go back for those amazing desserts... 🍰
