I visited The Blues Kitchen with my partner on Saturday night for a friends birthday party and it was fantastic.

The venue was so busy, we could not believe it! Despite this we had great service, ordered food and cocktails all night and didn't wait more than a few minutes for anything.

Most of us ordered from the BBQ menu which seems to be very popular. Its like an American canteen, everything is served on lovely little silver trays and the food was all very smokey.

The music kicked in later in the evening and we all enjoyed the live show from our table well past midnight.

When we were settling up, we said thank you to our waiter (who turned out to be the manager!) who looked totally exhausted but he was still very sweet and gave us both a free shot as we paid the bill.

Excellent night out, one of the best I have had in London in a very long time. We will be back!

Totally ace - love the Blues Kitchen!

It was always a winner with the Buffalo wings and Burgers but now they have a BBQ Menu as well! The pulled pork is absolutely amazing.

My work mates and I cannot believe out luck, having a place like this on our door step!

Well well well...what a cool venue. A great selection of bourbons, and fantastic milkshakes. We went out for my birthday to see my friends band. We booked a booth and really went for it! What was going to be the start of an amazing evening, started with a bit of a damp squib.
We had anticipated a great birthday feast, which turned out to be little more than microwaved pub food, made to look fancy.
The starters were came out nearly 30 minutes after we had ordered, lukewarm. One of the ribs we had ordered had to be returned because we found a hair in it.
OK...not the end of the world. The mains came out, but a couple of the dishes were not what we ordered. This was however rectified quickly. The mains on the whole were very substantial in size, but lacked any real flavour. The food seemed rushed, and lacked any care and attention.
The desserts were good though, and as I mentioned earlier the milkshakes are to die for.
Other than the that - a great night out.

I was recommended the Blue’s Kitchen in Camden as a great place to go for an authentic southern American dinning experience as my girlfriends mum was over visiting from the States.
On arrival it looks the part. The exterior was purposely dilapidated to give an old 50’s feel, and inside old pictures of Blues legends hang from the walls, while music from the likes of Muddy Waters & Howlin’ Wolf set a chilled atmosphere.
The menu is varied with many traditional southern dishes. I tried the Gumbo and was my expectations were exceeded, while my girlfriends mum ate the Jambalaya and said it was a good as the food back home. We polished off the meal with the cheesecake which we were informed was homemade, and tasted as such.
There was also an extensive cocktail menu that included many classics. We tried the Old Fashioned, Sazerac and Negroni, each one as good as the last. I was also a fan of the various American Whiskeys that were on offer. My personal favourite being the Bitter Truth, well worth a try in my opinion!!
Overall it was a great dining experience and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Great, prompt service, amazing music and good times.

I went here for a quiet drink early evening with a couple of friends with the intention of having a chilled drink and heading home early (boring i know) but the night turned out quite different.For starters the bar is AMAZING! The decor is really interesting shabby, retro kind of rustic feel with awesome lights. The atmosphere is really great. The bands don'tplay till later around 9 but its worth waiting. I ended up meeting lots of ineteresting people and staying till 3 am when it closed. We just had drinks , met people and had so much fun dancing like crazy to the blues.Highley recommend going !!

The Blues Kitchen was recommended to me by a close friend of mine last month. I have never been a very big fan of the blues and know nothing about it so we gave it a go. All I can say is that ever since then my boyfriend and I have been full blown regulars of the music, food and entire feel of the venue. We absolutely love it! We usually go for dinner and the food is spot on. The staff are wonderufl and have always been very friendly to us. I would definately recommend The Blues Kitchen as a great night out and if you just want to feel truly at home this is the place to be, it has a nice chilled and laid back feel!
