A few days ago my family and I visited New York for the second time, mostly sticking close to Times Square. We came to see Chicago on Broadway, which of course was wonderful, but afterwards we were starving and wandered around for a place to eat and relax a bit, since we're not really used to the New York pace. We had heard of BB Kings from a friend who told us about the music and the drinks, so we decided to check it out. We wound up going to Lucille's Grill which is the bar inside the club, and once we got there, we were actually really impressed with the food we got there. We were expecting the usual night club glop, but this was really good. I got the salmon and it was really well prepared, it didn't taste like the generic "BBQ" flavor you get at most places. I also had the Caesar salad, but you can't really go wrong with that. Both of my parents had the fillet mignon, and they said it was delicious. My brother had the burger and he seemed to enjoy it, once again can't really mess that up. Afterwards we had a few drinks and listened to the free music which was impressive and convenient. We're all serious blues and jazz fans in my family and we're used to all of the seedy blues spots with good music and crappy food, but for once we found a place that was all-around exactly what we were looking for. Lucille's definitely provided an entertaining conclusion to our night.
Pros: Free music, great food, great drinks
Cons: Music was a little to loud for dinner, but great for drinks
