Reviews
We had a fantastic experience at the House of Blues Restaurant in New Orleans! I ordered the Voodoo Shrimp, and it was absolutely to die for. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the sweet, fluffy jalapeño cornbread with that incredible sauce took the whole dish to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor! My husband ordered the HOB Smash Burger and didn’t leave a single bite on his plate..which says everything! A huge shout-out to our server, Brittany! She was so much fun, joked around with us, gave excellent recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcome. She truly added to the experience. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, the restaurant was spotless (including the bathrooms), and the food was outstanding. If you’re in New Orleans, this place is definitely worth a visit. We’ll absolutely be back!
I randomly came across this restaurant on my way to another place and decided to give it a try because it looked interesting and I am so glad I did. I absolutely do not regret eating here. The food and service were phenomenal. I especially loved the Cajun chicken pasta. It was packed with flavor and had the perfect amount of spice. Their salad was also surprisingly delicious. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. The atmosphere made the experience even better. They had live music playing, which gave the restaurant such a great vibe, and the covered patio was perfect since it was raining that day. Overall, this place was an easy 10/10 for me, and I would absolutely come back again.
My first time at the house of blues was a few weekends ago seeing Joyce Manor, the venue is amazing! Even though it’s all general admission for the most part, you are still able to see from the back. There is also a balcony level too! I had so much fun at the show, it was a really easy process getting inside and going through the security process. All the employees were so nice and everyone was super respectful. After going to a lot of punk shows like this, you become really appreciative of air conditioned venues so that was awesome too! Can’t wait to come back for another concert here!!!
Our first night in town and we went to the house of blues, I need to thank the staff who made this experience extra special. Big shout out to Eric and Amilia who went above and beyond!! The food was good and the atmosphere was very cool. But the staff truly make this a must go spot.
We've been twice now for the Endless Night Vampire Ball. Always awesome! Beautiful venue and great staff. Lots of drink options and quick service!
