Biscuits & Blues

Visited Biscuits & Blues on my first night in San Francisco. Awesome, little blues joint with friendly waitresses and good drinks. I was excited to see Christone Kingfish Ingram. He absolutely blew the lid off the place. Seeing such powerful music in such an intimate setting is a real treat. I unfortunately didn't try the biscuits, that's on me. Just an excuse to go back! This is a must stop experience for and blues fan. I really wish I lived closer.

Great blue venue, I loved how the music and the atmosphere took me back on time. It felt as I was on the 1930's. The singer and the band was so engaging. The staff and the waitresses were so attentive and welcoming that makes you feel at home. The prices were reasonable and you need to make a reservation. The only thing I didn't like was that there's no parking as this venue it's located in the center of the city so anticipate in advance if you are driving.

First time at this venue, and it was a very awesome experience. A Christmas gift from our son which we can now say will probably be an adventure we will be doing more of. Although we didn't have dinner at the late show, the tables around ours seemed to all be indulging in one entree or another and they all looked very pleasing, so next time that will be on our list. The young host and our waitress Kelly were wonderful and the band that night (Jan 19th) was off the hook .

Great entertainment and customer service experience, but the food was just okay and a little expensive. My husband and I visited B&B on recommendation from our hotel concierge, and we were not disappointed! We purchased tickets for the 7:00pm show and made our reservation for 6:15pm. I was worried that would be too early, but it was actually perfect. We got our drinks, apps, and main meal served before the performance began, so we took our time eating the main course and dessert/drinks during the show. The food was okay - I got the catfish since it was labelled as a popular item, but wasn't particularly impressed. Husband's shrimp and grits were pretty good, though. And the service/wait staff was quick and efficient throughout the evening. The show, service, and atmosphere was fantastic. The band we saw - Cafe R&B - was excellent and was well-known to several parties in attendance who were excited to see them perform again. The place itself is an intimate, dimly lit room below street level with small circular tables. You'll be packed in like sardines, but it really just adds to the energy in the room during the performance. There are several large booths on the perimeter that are great for larger parties. Attendees were well-dressed but casual and clearly prepared to enjoy themselves. I loved to see that the crowd was a mix of just about everyone - retirees, young professionals, large groups, couples, friends, families, and all of various ethnicities and lifestyles. During the show, it was clear that people were getting lost in the music - swaying, dancing, laughing, and closing their eyes to just feel the music in their soul. In all, a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun evening out.

One of the highlights of my trip to San Francisco. We walked downstairs into a dimmed setting and sat at a small table. The menu was setup so the food could be sent out and executed quickly, which was a good thing. Everything tasted great and nice and slow cooked. The service was spot on but above and beyond was the music. I'm not a big blues person, but after seeing the talented musicians I had to appreciate everything. Overall it was a great experience.
