I ordered a dinner I couldnt eat. I didnt think Rib sliders would be too spicy to eat but they were. Waitresses were great, and it was an interesting atmosphere but the food? No. Nobody in our 4 person party liked their food. More

We went here for a Mother's Day brunch, all you can eat, serenaded by gospel singers. It was wonderful, from the music to the food and the young people serving. We thoroughly enjoyed this celebration of motherhood, even though we were not with our children. More

I witnessed the bouncers of this club throw a patron out, exchange vulgarities with him, then rush across the street and assault him. Then they had him arrested. Sounds like a bad place to visit. More

Great, intimate venue in the Parish Room. The drinks were good and the music was even better. I was surprised that the show started and ran late since local friend's told me HoB always starts on time. But it was well worth the wait. Sarah Jarosz is awesome. More

I love a good gospel brunch, and this is it! The others in my party were gospel brunch newbies, and they couldn't stop raving about what a good time they had at the House of Blues. At $40, we all agreed it was a great value and a must-do. The gates open at 10am, and the closer to the front... More

Just not up to the prices they charge. One should expect more and better entertainment. More

I went to the Sunday Gospel Brunch at House of Blues. It is probably worth avoiding. The food was average at best, and the best stuff was gone quickly. And the music was poor. I give credit to the entertainers for trying, but it just didn't work for me. With so much great music all over New Orleans, this was... More
