House of blues is a beautiful venue and restaurant located inside Mandalay Bay. I've been here a couple times but only for breakfast. Last night I suggested to my friend that we go here. He was surprised and didn't know it was a restaurant to being that he always goes to shows here. On the weekends they have a live band playing which in my opinion was kind of annoying because they were so loud. I was literally screaming at my friend and it was giving me a headache. I know a lot of people wouldn't mind the band but I did. For starters we ordered the voodoo shrimp which was amazing! The sauce and corn bread on the bottom was delicious. I actually liked the shrimp better then our entrees. I got the Cajun and chicken and pasta, I asked the waiter about it and he said it was his favorite dish on the menu. I'm questioning how, because it was just ok, there was hardly any chicken! There had to been literally 7 tiny pieces of chicken and the sauce was decent but nothing amazing. My friend ordered the half slab of baby back ribs and when they came out they looked good but tasted meh. The meat was pretty tough it didn't fall off the bone and the sides of BBQ beans and Cole slaw were mediocre. I'd definitely skip that when you come here. Overall I was satisfied, the waiter was friendly and the girls in the front hostess stand were pleasant as well.
