Got there 2 hours before the show. Standing room only. We were told we could eat upstairs and come back down and pick a place in a cordoned off area to stand. Upstairs is a bleak, sparse depressing place. We felt like unwanted guests at a party. Food was just ok. Mediocre fries, ok burgers, overcooked salmon, but it wasn't dry because it was drenched in butter. They even give you a little plastic container of extra melted butter. I was surprised to get that because I got the feeling that if they could have figured out a way to charge extra for mustard and ketchup, they would have. No bread or corn bread with your meal. You have to pay extra for that.
Undercooked, twigs of green beans in a very tasty tomato celery sauce came with the fish, along with garlic mash that could have used more garlic. The sound coming from the very poor quality, unwatchable screen showing downstairs activity was set at a deafening level, making conversation difficult unless you like screaming at each other while eating. We went downstairs for the show and found a really great view in the cold and drafty standing section in front of the emergency exit doors. Buddy Guy and his opener, Linsey Alexander are truly the best blues musicians in the world, but after standing for four and a half hours at the end of the show we were more tired than inspired.
