We were in Memphis and wanted some local food. Went to Blues City Cafe and it was great. The ribs were tender and meaty. Just fell off the bone. Pries were reasonable as well.

I just completed my dining experience at Blues City Cafe and it was not impressive at all. The ribs looked like they came off of an oversized sow. They were tough and had no sauce to speak of. All of the hype about this cafe is way overrated. I asked for a piece of bread and never got it. I will be glad to be leaving Memphis because the food where I come from is much better.

The food was great! The atmosphere and the waitress weren't amazing, but the food made up for it.

The man at front door rushed us through our meal..was rude I would not recomend this place to anyone unless you like bad behavior from staff

The good: The best ribs I have ever eaten, reasonable prices. The bad: It basically has the decor of a diner, and it gets a lot of traffic from the Beale Street tourists, so it could be cleaner. The ribs, however, are a must-try item.

i was in memphis this week and enjoyed the music at blues city! gary hardy and the memphis 2 were amazing!!! drinks were good and the place is smoke free!!

During Memphis in May...I whent down on the river to the Barbaque....tasted folks ribs all day.....never found any better ribs than at Blues City Cafe....It's a must for me to eat there every chance i get....also you must try the apple dumplings...they are great !!!!Say hello to Joe the Hat.....He will take care of you...

Was in Memphis for the first time in January and popped in to The Blues City Cafe as we heard great music coming from inside.It turned out to be one of the best nights i've ever had.The band playing were called The Dempseys,if you visit memphis do not miss this great outfit they are one of the best bands i have ever seen. Finished the night off by tucking in to the full rack,fantastic.we ate there for the next 3 nights! you just dont get ribs like that in England.A great friendly,fantastic Beale Street experience...
