    Excellent food, excellent service, excellent music, drinks a little pricey. Try the corn bread, it's awesome! Best night out we've had for a long time.

    Great service, the staff were very attentive and the food was amazing!! Only downfall was it was quiet difficult giving the waitress our order as she couldn’t hear us due to how noisy it was! Apart from that we will definitely be back! Such a great place

    Great late lunch before going to the theatre. Food delicious and service was very attentive. My friend has an intolerance to garlic and they really went the extra mile to make sure she didn’t order anything with garlic in it. The candle in the strawberry for her birthday was so inventive. We definitely will be back and hope you open one in Leeds soon.

    Second time visiting The Blues Kitchen in a short time. For us, it’s the service. Bar and table staff couldn’t have been more helpful and chatty. Then it’s the food, every time we’ve been in, it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere, music, venue ticks every box. Further more, we feel safe, no trouble and just good fun. Twice we have returned to listen to Dija Bhlue - awesome ! Worth the hours travel.

    Table service was great and server was friendly. Food was ok. We had cauliflower bits. Chicken wings. Cheeseburger. Taco Salad with Shrimp … this was ok but really lettuce with feta a few shrimp in a taco bowl. Tasty but not filling. Upon entry, staff were not welcoming. And lots of staff gathered social-chatting at a computer near our table.

    First time eating here & really enjoyed it. The staff are very attentive, food was lovely. It was my birthday so got a free dessert for the table. Loved the decor, we had the booth facing the door so enjoyed watching the goings on. Overall great experience & will definitely come back. Went upstairs after the meal & found they didn’t do cocktails you had to go to the bar downstairs but that wasn’t a big issue. All the staff are friendly & helpful.

    The staff were very friendly but the food was ok the sauces for the wings were really vinegary and they took around 20 mins to come which is really long to say it’s only 90 mins for the bottomless wings

    The drinks were not as good as they were made out to be! The mains were bad as it was not cooked properly so we had to waste it! And the service was poor. We were given a table right in the corner near the fire exit despite booking before hand.

    No salmon, no orange wine. Ordered salad- was uninspiring & basic for the price. Taco didn’t mention the garlic on the prawns- which wasn’t mentioned on the menu- obviously contaminated all the plate with garlic.my friend can’t stand the smell of garlic, let alone it all over the plate. prosecco over priced as are most of other bottles. First bottle of prosecco came warm. Staff did change it but next bottle not very cool. Also on the bill we were charged for the band before 9 & the band was hardly on. Staff really friendly. & helpful Overall Really disappointing.

    Was pleasantly surprised with this place… was in from the states…disappointed with all our meals in Manchester..was looking for some food late night and stumbled upon this place on open table. We decided to give it a shot since the reviews were good and wow it was amazing. The atmosphere, the food, the service. I loved the live music. The strawberry basil bramble was great. I wish I got the hostess name who took care of us. The place was packed, we had a reservation but people were just getting up…the kitchen was closing soon and she knew we wanted to eat..she found us room ASAP. Whoever was working March 11, 2023 at 10:45pm at the hostess stand. You are amazing.
