Best dining experience at any H.O.B. Ive ever been to. OnIy downside is the menu side items and whats included on entrees is a bit thin. Customer service in general was high, especially from my waitress. She was attentive and I always appreciate that. The lake view was really nice. (I apologize for the previous reference regarding my exceptional server, it was an Android typo. With respect, she represents everything thats great about HOB).

Disney Springs outpost of this chain of bar and restaurants offers a uniquely fun atmosphere steeped in historical touches. Beautiful architecture, signature gift shop, large outdoor patio with a roster of live music, and an adjoining concert venue makes this an all in one stop for food and fun. We went for the Sunday brunch and were not disappointed - large portions of breakfast staples like eggs and biscuits, along with a large breakfast burrito stuffed with goodness. Friendly staff as well, and all current safety protocols are in place. You could make a whole evening here!

HofB opened at 5 tonight. Live music on the front porch, Matt Shenk performing solo. We enjoyed him do much we stayed till closing.I ordered the Smokehouse meal consisting of half a chicken, pulled pork, and brisket. Of course also included were baked beans, corn bread, and Cole Slaw. I boxed at least half of my meal. Good place for BBQ.Beautiful evening after a couple days of rain.

Great overall experience!This place is at Disney Springs and it was easy to find. Atmosphere was great, server and staff were friendly and efficient.Our food was excellent from Ribs, pulled pork and a burger all were prepared and presented awesome. The food was hot and fresh and the quality of ingredients was also excellent.Would go back again in a heartbeat.

The food was good and the mixed drinks were even better. Our waitress was very nice but I found it odd when she referred to me and my husband as “Mr. Long & Mr. Longs friend.” Other than that, the experience was very pleasant and we enjoyed the food and scenery. They were even willing to customize a meal for my husband that he devoured with no complains. Will return on our next Disney trip!

I attended the gospel brunch, and it was righteous. The buffet was huge, and always restocked. The drinks were delivered quickly, and were well crafted. The main show, the gospel group, had me wanting to join a gospel choir by the end of the show! If you are going to Disney World, this is really great place to mix up your entertainment. Make sure you get your tickets well in advance.

My family loved HOB. Our server was great (I believe his name was Steven)! This was our 1st time eating here. They had guests very spaced out, every other booth and individual tables were separated. Everything was delicious!

Atmosphere is cool. Decor is fun. Food is fair at best. We had an 8 pm reservation and were seated promptly. Restaurant was not busy. Ordered an appetizer of loaded fries. Drinks arrived. Ordered dinner. Drinks came and salads were delivered...still no appetizer. Server was moving about but did not notice the missing appetizer. When she finally brought it, the gravy was congealed and the crispy fries were soggy. Overall appearance was VERY unappetizing. Salad was good...probably the best part of the meal. I ordered the smokehouse chicken. It looked delicious but was sadly overcooked and incredibly dry. Beans had some bite and were good. Cornbread was not fresh with dry crusty edges. Street corn was ok. If you want good BBQ, this is not the place. My daughters words...you are paying for the atmosphere, not the food. Ill pay $120 for atmosphere somewhere else.

Fantastic service from Ian and team. Live music only outdoors right now. Great food and still an great eclectic stop for an evening dinner. Not too busy on a holiday Friday evening right now, which is usually a longer wait. Make a reservation and the table is guaranteed.

This was my first time going here but I had a good time. Even going during Covid I had fun. There was a live band outside. The food was good. They had a different take on shrimp and grits but it was still good, a little on spicy side but still good. The service was awesome. I even visited one of the stores on site called Sugarboo & Co it was a cute store with nice odd trinkets that fit my personality. I had fun in there just looking around. I even purchased an essential oil for my diffuser. Fun night....

I used to come here all the time, but once a year seems about normal lately. The food is still delicious and , of course, the atmosphere is almost always alive! Ive seen so many great shows but the food can be worthy by itself given the area is a tourist trap;) portions are not small and Ive never made it to dessert! Enjoy ... and rock on!!

The best! First off our waiter was great. I loved his energy, his knowledge and recommendations for food. The food was soooooo good. The mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious I should have asked for the recipe. The gumbo! Omg the gumbo was so good, even reheated later in the evening whem I got home. I would 100% recommend this restaurant! My Sangria was very delicious as well.

House of Blues Disney springs was awesome. My daughter and i had dinner on Thursday July 30th 2020. Steven was our server. He made our visit so enjoyable and made us feel like we were his only patrons he was serving. Great food also!!The manager Jessy was wonderful and made her rounds asking guests how there night was going. Very nice touch! Will always make this our number 1 place for dinner next time we are in Orlando.

Great place to stop for a meal. Friendly staff, great service and the food was off the chain. You could sit for hours and not see every piece of art visible from your table. If youre not conversing in this place, youre just not there.

Review №29

Disney springs has a lot of places to eat that are more affordable than eating in any of their Parks with rides, but BBQ smelled good here, so we chose this. In glad we did cause this place has the best of everything I tried. Best nachos with cheese and jalapenos, best beef brisket sandwich and even best beans that were just a side but tasted amazing.We ordered on the side and the food took less than 2 minutes to receive, took the tray and sat down outside. Live music while we were sitting (although they went for a break later so when you sit, if they arent playing its cause they are on break) and the price was right for lunch. I would recommend this place if your are in the area and I will be telling anyone I know that plans to visit did Disney to check this place out.

Smokehouse platter is my all time favorite, but this last visit I tried the Cobb salad, and was amazed, MUCH better than st that place in Disney Hollywood Studios that claims to have the best one, but IMHO, was actually quite awful...

This review is for Steven. I can’t express how wonderful this man is! He made us feel so welcome even when we got there late before closing. I even had to give him a shout out for helping the girls in the next table with their tick tock! This just showers what a wonderful spirit this man has I will be requesting him every time we come here!

I cant stop talking about this restaurant! Our waiter was absolutely amazing, giving us info on the dishes. I ordered the shrimp and grits (honestly the best meal Ive had in I dont even know how long). After hearing how much I liked it, our waiter let us know if probably like the voodoo shrimp too, an appetizer, and we ordered some to go. Ate it for breakfast the next day and it was soo good! We also got the bread pudding and cookie skillet. The icing was a little too much so I just took it off but the pudding itself with whatever sauce was on it was great!

I’m a DVC member for the past 14 years and actually looked forward having dinner at the house of blues. Bit of a disappointment.Despite operating during COVID19, the restaurant seemed to do everything needed for the pandemic concerns. The disappointment was the kitchen. Knowing they were operating at minimum capacity, I never imagined the food would take over 50 minutes to arrive.Here were the results;Ribs = Over cooked and drySlaw= dry and blandBeans= tastyGumbo = An insult to Cajun loversServer = Friendly but not perceptiveToo bad. If the themed restaurant is relying on its theme and not its food, it will not last long.Hope they do better.

During a late night visit to Disney springs we ended up at the house of blues. Due to the great weather and live music we decided to grab a bite from The Smokehouse in front of main restaurant and venue. The pulled chicken sandwich was amazing. The price for the food and beer was more than worth it. It was a large enough portion to split between two people and eat while enjoying the atmosphere with the live band playing outside. This is a Great family friendly spot to get some good food with plenty of options and a relax at the end of the night.

Loved the Gospel Brunch experience! Food could have been better (warmer) but it was not disappointing. The wait for beverages could be better. They could use more water and juice jars for refills so lines arent so long.Music and sound was fantastic! Would love to see a great concert here. I would recommend the Gospel Brunch for your Orlando experience.

Review №56

An odd venue indeed. The acoustics are great but there are many obstructed views and almost no seating. I got there very early, like 90 minutes early, and figured Id eat at the restaurant and have plenty of time. Wrong. We had reservations but didnt get seated for almost 30 minutes later. I told the waiter our intent and he said Great, spend 50 on dinner and you get priority seating. My son and I ate our dinner and asked for the check. I reminded him we were in a hurry. It took 15 minutes to get the check and by then, It was almost 10 after 7 when the doors open at 7. No priority at that point. By the time we got in, all the few seats were long gone and the only place we could find to stand had a pole right in the middle of our view. A majority of the audience stands down on the floor in a big mosh pit type configuration. And to top it off, the simple gin and tonic I ordered at the restaurant was one the waiter recommended. $17. If you go, skip the restaurant, get in line EARLY, and eat inside. The prices are not bad and you might get a seat or at least an unobstructed view.

Review №57

I love this venue because of the big acts they get to come here, I wish it was a little bigger however it is still one of the hot spots for acts to come through and it’s usually always a good time, parking isn’t that hard neither to find as there’s attendants to guide you and then just a short walk to the venue. Definitely will come again.

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Disney springs. Hostess was super welcoming, server was helpful one of our guests dietary restrictions. It was far from busy, but our food took quite some time to come out. It did come out hot and tasted great. Portion size was adequate and pricing was fair for Disney Springs.

We visited the House of Blues for the Gospel Brunch and it was fabulous!The spread was amazing, and the gospel band was worth the price of admission alone.The facility is charming and quirky, and having been to a number of HoB locations, this is one of the larger ones.Highly recommended if you are in town on a Sunday morning.

Review №63

Awesome place for food and service. Had the country fried steak with veggies and a side of cornbread. The steak was really good but too thick for country fried. The veggies were awesome, and the cornbread was probably the best cornbread Ive ever had! Our server Phil was awesome! The only bad thing about this place is the fact that there is no tap beer...not cool!

Review №64

This was a great place for a concert. We enjoyed Andy Grammer! But prior to the concert we ate in the restaurant and we are afraid to have to say it was terrible. Food was not cooked well, server made to many mistakes, charged us wrong for some items. Food was extremely cold when we got it. Drinks where ok. The food here is not worth what you pay. There is other restaurants in Disney Springs that deserve your money for quality food. Would we return to the House of Blues? Sure but only to see a concert. There is so many things to see and do around this area so make sure you do it all! Parking is FREE and it’s easy to get in and out of the parking garage or regular parking. We recommend everyone park in the Mango parking lot. Attendants at this parking lot are very helpful and know how to treat locals and tourists and we thank you for that. We highly recommend everyone visiting Disney Springs but maybe not eating at the House of Blues.

Based on reading other reviews, I was expecting an ok experience - it was a blast and we look forward to returning!We made reservations through the Disney app and we were seated 5min before our scheduled time. The place was busy ... Families, couples, friend groups all were there.Inside, the restaurant had live music, but not so loud you couldnt have a conversation. Our server, Claire was attentive and we appreciated her suggestions!The food came our promptly (I had steak salad). My veggies were a little warm (expected hot) but the steak was a perfect medium rare.On our way out, we stopped to listen to Some Kind of Wonderful being played on the porch by a different band.

Late night dining on the first night of our week in Disney couldnt have been more wonderful. Our server, John, was the nicest waiter I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Made our group feel welcomed, special and we all shared a lot of laughs! Highly recommend this place and ask for him because he was the coolest (plus the food and drinks are to die for). He even took a photo with us! :)

Not sure why this is the second time we’ve been to a House of Blues and NO Blues music has been playing. I don’t understand it. It’s a fun restaurant and the staff was nice.
