SquareMeal Review of The Blues Kitchen Brixton

Bronze Award

Like its stablemates in Shoreditch and Camden, the Brixton branch of Blues Kitchen strikes the right note with its menu of stateside comfort food and finger-licking barbecue favourites. Get the party started Kentucky-style with a cool Mint Julep from the bourbon-focused bar list, before launching into moist crab doughnuts and chipotle mayo, or spicy buffalo wings dunked in blue cheese sauce. Burgers, gumbo, jambalaya and buttermilk chicken are options, but we couldn’t resist a barbecued feast of beef brisket burnt ends and St Louis pork ribs, slow-smoked for hours to meaty melting point. The fun doesn’t stop there: live music every night ranges from funk and soul to gospel and bluegrass, with a second stage upstairs and dancing until 2am at weekends. The look is New Orleans drinking den: comfortably laid-back, with ceiling fans, vintage-style tiles and generous leather booths. It’s perfect for large groups – and large appetites.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced - utterly appalled

I came here for my birthday. The vibes are immaculate and have to say - food great. Such a shame that your night is doomed to be made uncomfortable by the staff. The only thing I can assume is that they just don't need your money because they are so busy anyway. I was told to shut up, "utilise my table" and was physically pushed out the way by staff on multiple occasions whilst walking to the loo. It was my birthday and I was assured that my birthday cake (which didn't even get cut open) would be kept safe for me for a few days. Upon collecting it, the manager laughed in my face and told me staff had eaten it right after I blew the candles out. When I asked to speak to the general manager he said "I'm wasting my time talking to you, good luck". Shocked doesn't even cut it. Needless to say I won't be back. Thanks for the special birthday.
