Praise the Lord and Pass the Biscuits! A Must See Experience............

by Deborah91910 at Citysearch

The House of Blues Gospel Brunch is famous for a reason, it's FANTASTIC! If you leave there hungry, it's your own fault. From biscuits and gravy, cheese grits, sausage, waffles, even an omelet bar. The fried chicken is not to be beat. For those who are vegetarian, you're still in luck with salads, fruit, muffins, eggs, white chocolate banana bread pudding....they've got it all.

If that wasn't enough, once you've filled your stomach, the gospel choir will fill your heart and move your soul. Everyone gets into the act with the entire audience clapping to the music and waving their cloth napkins high in the air.

Gospel music not your taste. You're STILL in luck. The dinners here are fantastic too. The ribs are out of this world. They are the fall off the bone kinda ribs. With wonder sides such as garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, crispy green beans, all delicious. This is an experience you won't want to miss!

• Pros: Friendly staff and fun, unique atmosphere
• Cons: Wish I could go more often

Haven't had Jambalaya like this since my last visit to New Orleans

I love creole/southern food and it's hard to find anything good in San Diego. When someone mentioned I might find some good home cooking at House of Blues I was a little surprised. But from the deliciously yummy rosemary cornbread (that the recommended - I am not a cornbread fan, but decided to try it) to the real traditional jambalaya and the smoked ribs!!!! and lastly we had some of their bread pudding I was impressed to say the least. The wait for a table was a little long, but it looked like they were going to have a really good concert that night. Our server was busting her butt to get our table served and keep our drinks from getting empty. We both left fat and happy and will be going back when we get a craving for some good southern food!

• Pros: good food, friendly service
• Cons: might be busy when theres a show
