My friend ordered gluten free but something had gluten in it because she had a severe reaction and became very ill. My Mac n cheese was flavorless. The chicken sandwiches were way too salty. Our waitress seemed annoyed right from the jump.

This is about the club/concert hall and not the restaurant. It is a nice venue. Sound is good. They book good bands and they had booked one of my favorites this past weekend. All good until now. However... The whole things almost feels a bit like a scam. My first frustration is that there was an unannounced opening act. I looked through their website and others wondering about this. No opening act was not announced. Not on HoB's website and not on Fest After Dark's and not on Live Nation's. Nope. You had to go to the venue to see the poster. On top, HoB's website states that shows start on time and I can tell you that they don't. The show start time was 8:00 and the opening act started at 8:40. The main band was on stage at 10:00. Yes, two hours after they were supposed to. I live in Nola, so I know how this works, but at least announce that there is a (terrible) opening act so that I can show up two hours late. Seriously. Your venue is not exactly a place to enjoy a couple of drinks with friends. It is a concert venue.You may ask: what is wrong with you, why not have a couple of drinks and enjoy yourself? Well, I would, but a "cocktail" with two ounces of bottom shelf vodka and tons of sugar was $20. You can get a double pour of Jim Beam in a plastic cup for $15. They also sold way too many floor tickets (not sure it was fire safe) and it wasn't that easy to get to the bars. I found myself wondering why there was so much vaping of pot in the place and then realized that it is because the booze is so expensive...My recommendation if you have to go because it is a band you like: buy VIP tickets if you can afford them; arrive about 90 minutes after the announced start time; and spend those extra 90 minutes drinking elsewhere.

Great atmosphere especially if you love blues. Was not overly impressed about the food voodoo shrimp came with cornbread that was cold, jambalaya was a little bland. I will say that the blues band was jamming it out though

Went to a private party on the back patio area. Great spot for an event like this. The food was very good. Although the selection was a little limited. I'm thinking this was due to my company's selections. Multiple bars were open, so no waiting. Highly recommended!

The guy with the beard was awesome. Food was good depending on what you get. I loved the gumbo and the mac and cheese was dry and not enough seasonings and small portion. We had to send food back 3 times from mess ups took a long while. One of our friends is gluten free age was still given food that had gluten she ended up getting sick being in pain her stomach swelled up. I don't recommend the dry mac and cheese. Our waitress was rushing us just wasn't the best experience. The manager was a nice gentleman. Wouldn't come back.

Exceptionally bad service. Took more than 15 minutes to get greeted by server. Restaurant wasn't even crowded. Forgot salad. Delivered food without utensils and then disappeared so quickly we couldn't ask. Ended up having to walk up to server's station to ask another waitress for utensils. If at house of blues, skip this restaurant and go to the foundation room instead for a much better experience . Won't be back.
