   From walking in the door we asked to be shown around the concert hall for future visits and Fenna was very attentive a lovely restaurant table, then we were looked after by Olie and Drew who really took the time to chat with us the food was delicious and the overall vibe of this place unique, we enjoyed the resident blues act very professional and laid back experience, we have now booked to come back on the 30th May to dine and watch sugar RayRayford so looking forward to this, we have told all our friends and uploaded photographs we loved it and shall be regular monthly visitors. thank you all

   Lovely place and food but very busy and noisy and music doesn’t start til 11pm. We were politely asked to vacate the table around 9.30pm after dinner to allow for another set before music started which wasn’t great. Overall was nice

   We had a fabulous evening- food was great but the service exceptional. They found us a table to move to near the stage then we headed upstairs for a boogie and more drinks. We will be back!!!

   If you want to go at the weekend you need to book a week in advance at least to ensure a table, during the week is easier. It is quite rightly an incredibly busy place so your seating time is limited. If you book later in the evening you’ll have some lovely music while you eat. The food is spectacular, the servers are attentive and polite. The quality of the food is great for the price. Even if the live band isn’t playing, it can be loud. The atmosphere is electric and exciting as people wait for the live music

   We went for a pre theatre lunch and had the meal deal. The service was fab and the waiter couldn't have been more attentive. Food was very good value also. 12 pounds per head including a glass of wine is fabulous value and it tasted wonderful too!!

   Our first visit to Blues Kitchen, staff very welcoming, venue is decorated to high standard, very quirky lamps/lights, lively atmosphere. The food was delicious, served quickly and hot (I was gutted there was no brisket but the Cheese Burger made up for it). The only complaint we have was a problem with the bill which delayed our return to work. We were overcharged quite a bit and it took a few attempts to rectify this, but this was dealt with professionally by staff and the Manager and seems it was an error with the till. It certainly will not put us off visiting again. Would highly recommend.

    Would have been a better review if the waitress serving our first cocktails hadn't thrown them all over me..she apologised and assured me all drinks would be taken off the bill but when the bill came they had only removed the drinks she spilled. Stained my whole outfit :(

    I visited yesterday with a friend, her 3-year-old daughter, and my 4-year-old daughter and we really enjoyed it. We went with the kids as we thought they had live music on in the afternoon but unfortunately we were mistaken. We decided to stay anyway as I had heard good things about the food and that was not wrong, OMG the food was amazing!! We had the cornbread and burger spring rolls to start with the pork ribs as a main and we could only eat one rib (doggy bagged the other) there wasn't a children's menu but the girls loved the mac n cheese and the chips to share, was a very generous portion. Best ribs I have ever had :) The staff were wonderful and didn't mind our girls wandering around and loving the campervan. I will definitely be back - thank you xx

    Spoke to venue to advise running late and would be there in 5 mins. They said okay but when arrived table had been given away. Understand it was our fault for being late but they should have told us on the phone we’d have no table - very poor customer service. Won’t return.

    Great, atmospheric venue. The ambience is fun and lively, the staff are fantastically helpful and the food was exactly the sort of thing I like. Service was fast without being intrusive. The restaurant can be quite loud so don't come here for a quiet meal but it had a great atmosphere.

    We went for a pre theatre dinner and loved it. Beef spring rolls and spinach and artichoke dip to start, both amazing, followed by beef rib for 2 and pork ribs which were beautifully tender and succulent. Accompanied by corn ribs, salads and Mac n cheese with brisket and onion in the bottom, delicious! Oh and we had a side order of corn bread with honey butter which was also delicious. And I've never had a ginger mohito before but I'm sure I'll be back for another one sometime. And the staff were all so friendly and helpful, it was a really pleasurable experience, I can't wait to go back.

    It was ok but they didn't have any live music which is why I booked. They said the band had cancelled I woukd have appreciated if they had let me know before hand as I wouldn't have gone. Food was ok. No ambience as just noisy with chatting.

    There's a restaurant on the first floor and a music venue upstairs. The decor is stunning inside. The food was really good, we booked a table in advance and everything was served quite quickly. All the food we had was fresh and piping hot.

    The whole evening was great, from booking online to the confirmation phone call the day before. We arrived very early and were directed to sit at the bar, all staff were polite, helpful and pleasant. The Cocktails were £5 each and delicious, food was good and the service from Mia faultless. Music was probably the weakest part and still very good. Will definitely go back.

    Really amazing service from the staff, extra special as well since it was my birthday and they surprised me with some deep fried Oreos with candles in! All the staff I spoke to were great, so approachable and helpful - I didn't catch any names so can't mention them personally, but all the staff on the evening of the 10th May deserve recognition :)

    We couldn't recommend the Blues Kitchen enough. It's our favorite spot in Manchester and consistently lives up to our already high expectations. From the live music, to the food/drink, to the service, top to bottom this place is top-notch.

    We had a great experience, the only negative bit I would say is that the waiters are too eager to clear plates. You should always wait for everyone to finish and then clear the plates and it felt a bit rushed. Apart from that all good!

    I had booked the Blues Kitchen for my Girlfriends birthday the atmosphere was amazing and the service was impeccable we booked for 3:30 and upon arrival were promptly taken to our seats, the drinks arrived super fast and so did the food we had a great time and our meals were delicious, However later on in the night we we're both sick with upset stomachs my girlfriend was much worse off, I had Grilled salmon and eggs and she had Sweet potato hash, I'm not sure if something was undercooked but it did sour our mood at night after having a lovely meal hence why the 3 out of 5 stars review

    The food was amazing, absolutely lovely. However the place is so dark it’s hard to see what you’re eating. It was just so noisy that there’s no point eating here if you want a conversation so be prepared to eat in silence! Waiting staff are lovely if a bit enthusiastic for me and food came almost immediately. There’s an area to go out and smoke and the bathrooms are clean and well kept. Would we go again? Probably not but it was an experience
