Best Live Music in Orlando!

by aburk0422

I went to B.B. King's for New Year's Eve and had an absolute blast! Everything was really organized, and we were seated at our table right away. The food came out extremely fast and was piping hot. I had the Bourbon Strip steak that was cooked exactly the way I wanted it, and my friend got the Carolina BBQ Salmon and practically licked the plate! The menu has a wide variety of soul food such as ribs and catfish bites but also has regular items such as burgers, chicken fingers, and salads. The house band played on New Year's Eve and they were awesome! They had so much life and really got the crowd into it- the dance floor was packed by the end of dinner. The band plays a variety of blues and popular soul music such as Earth, Wind, and Fire, Tina Turner, etc. The staff is also really friendly and entertaining- bartenders Ron, Tim, and James kept us laughing all night. The crowd there was a great mix- some people had brought their whole families, and the predominant age range was probably from mid 20s to late 40s. I'm 24 yrs old, and it's a really great place to go if you want to party and have a good time but want to avoid the drama of a younger crowd. I highly recommend this place- it's fairly new, probably has been open for about a year, so I'm trying to get the word out!
