Great shrimp boil with potatoes, corn and sausage. And really good cheese curds to split with the table. Awesome dining experience!

Amazing food! Took my girlfriend on a date there and she absolutely LOVED it - she's from Memphis so she knows a thing or two about southern food. Great service! Great music!

I had a great time with food and live music. Great for a casual not so formal date. Their Cajun food is really a welcomed change. Glad I came in, will do so again in the future

Server was fabulous. Very personable. Jackfruit sandwich was pretty tasty. Menu needs updating. Black bean burger was to be served with avocado. When it was served without, the server said they stopped serving avocados a couple of months ago.

The food was good but mostly I was impressed by the friendliness of the servers and the welcome we got there. They also had good bands. I recommend going. I don't eat meat but my friend said the pulled pork was excellent.

Yes, we like Neil St. Blues and have, in fact, recommended it to friends. But we were deeply disappointed by them on Christmas Eve. We made a reservation thru Open Table with them for Christmas Eve Dinner. The reservation was confirmed by us the day before. Lo and behold, when we went there on Christmas Eve, the restaurant was closed. This created a huge problem as not very many other restaurants were open. The ones that were, were packed. This was NOT Open Table's fault as the restaurant never communicated to them that it would be closed and, apparently, never check to see if they had reservations. Very disappointed in Neil St. Blues and their lack of attention to their customers.

For Cajun/Creole style food, the flavors were very bland. The gumbo was served luke-warm and the Jambalaya was nearly flavorless. The Cajun style chicken pasta was basically Chicken Alfredo with no kick to it. For the quality of the food, the prices were high.

The food was amazing, the service was great, and it felt like a relaxed enough environment to bring my little one for early dinner.

The food was excellent. We truly enjoyed the blues group that was playing in the restaurant as well. Our server, Andrea was very hospitable and had great suggestions for sides/entree's. We split a couple appetizers - the lollipop wings were a huge hit with my son. Great evening and would definitely visit again.
