    House of Blues have the best salads in Chicago! I will say, our server was very nice but the place is understaffed. It took him 15 minutes to greet us, but he was doing his best! Also we went to the Justin Bieber event upstairs after, and there was only 1 bartender at both bars and took 30 minutes to get a drink.

    The loaded fries were not bad, but also not great. Got them with the brisket. The drinks are outstanding, had the ginger & grapefruit mule, the hurricane, and the espresso martini. Having live music while you sit and eat (that’s not too loud) was nice.

    Second visit, a little quiet this time but then it was 7pm on a December Thursday. My wife has some dietary restrictions and the staff were really helpful explaining what the menu options contained. Would go again, maybe a little later in the evening.

    We stopped in for dinner and live music. Upon arrival we joined a long line waiting to enter. Having traveled from out of town we booked a reservation and were not aware that there was a concert going on upstairs. The gentleman checking IDs asked us were there for dinner or the concert and immediately pointed us to the entrance. We had very good seats for the performers in the restaurant and enjoyed each performance. The only strange thing was that the concert went on in the performance hall above us. It was very energetic and at times caused the ceiling and attached speakers to bounce, but no one seemed alarm and we just took it in stride and enjoyed our experience. The ribs and turkey smash burger were excellent and our drinks were very good! Will visit again when we return. Great time!

    Always enjoy HoB, but on this occasion the service was not good. We were seated immediately but no-one served us for 20min. Not good.
