House of Blues...Should we try it?

[ldc12377]

Thinking about trying out the House of Blues on our next trip. There will be eight of us...5 adults and 3 kids(5, 10, and 12). We have neve eaten at a House of Blues and aren't real sure what they are like or what to expect. Any info would be great.... Thanks

Personally, I think they used to be better in the past then they are now. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

I think the food is pretty good. The food tends toward southern specialties like chicken, catfish, po'boys, cajun ect. To me, it's a nice get away from the resorts and the parks

We went for the first time last summer so I can't compare it, but my DS (14 at the time) both really liked it.

Very delicious but everything we eat is spicy. The Elwood is my personal favorite!!

we went this last trip because i had a certificate to use ($25 that only cost me $2) jambalaya was good. i dont think i would go out of my way to eat here though.

I wouldn't make any kind of effort to eat there. It's okay.

I agree- get the restaurant.com coupon!! Amd try the pepperoni flat bread!! Pretty darn good! We get the coupon and go at happy hour (appetizer happy hour) and our bill for the 3 of us AFTER 18% included gratuity is just at $19! Pretty good value for a different experience!

Corn bread is to die for. I usually order one of the day's specials. I have never had a bad meal there.

NOTES: It has close to "street" HOB prices which means
good pricing for a WDW eatery, earning it a "B+" for value.
Sometimes it can be kind of loud inside. The Sunday Gospel
Lunch is good (make ressies!) Buy a restaurant.com certificate
and save up to 60%. We were quite happy with the 1/2-rack of
ribs for taste, size, tenderness and price.

Just ate at the HOB in New Orleans last week, although I was on expense account so that doesn't really count, does it? Food is decent but very pricey-- $12 for a burger. You can get it for about 1/2 that at a counter service at Disney if you factor in drink and tip.

If you want to look at a menu, go to their online site and check it out.

We did the Sunday brunch at the House of Blues and found the food delicious. I have to say though, we have never gone back, not something we would be so excited to repeat.
