| - My husband and I wanted to eat soul food while in Vegas, so I found this place and ate there on Tuesday night. I guess there is a difference between soul food and southern cuisine.
We were expecting a soulful joint filled with soulful people. The place was PACKED! But only a handful of Black folks were there. The "blues" singer was some young hippy-looking kid, backing him was a brotha playing guitar and another brotha playing the drums. The "blues" singing was so DANG....LOUD it was crazy! We looked around and the people were hee-hawing.
The service was slow as a snail. The waitress was very kind, but we waited over 20 minutes before we acknowledged at the table.
I ordered a catfish po boy sandwich. My husband ordered fried chicken with white gravy (YUCK!!!) over white mac and cheese (YUCK!!!) and we shared a bowl of collard greens.
The sandwich was suppose to be on a toasted hoggie bread and fries. The bread was cold and dry, the catfish were those cheap-azz nuggets, slices of tomatoes and a piece of lettuce leaf. How do you put the round nuggets on the bread? A palm size of fries. $17.99
Chicken tasted good minus the gravy and mac and cheese. The noodles were too thick to be used for mac and cheese. You must have sharp cheddar cheese (orange) in mac and cheese, not some mild white cheese.
$17.99
Collards were seasoned with bacon and that's all! No garlic, no seasoned salt or vinegar. And it was COLD! $6.99
Don't even ask me about the drinks, what a JOKE!!!
The dessert menu didn't have any pound cake, sweet potato pie, buttermilk pie, cobbler; none of that true southern cuisine-soul food.
My husband asked the waitress were there any Black American ole' school cooks in the kitchen?. She said, "Yes, two". He then said, "There is no way they cooked this food. It is TERRIBLE!"
I know soul food. I create soul food and I grew up on soul food and THAT is NOT soul food! YUCK!!!!!
IT IS OVERPRICED TOO!!! $77
Oh! we didn't know until later that "BB King's Blues Club" is NOT..NOT..NOT his club! They just have his permission to use his name. That's how they get so many people to patronize that place.
