Very good food. Very loud. We had salads and salmon which were very good. I had the bread pudding and found it to be bland, but my guest had the chocolate chip cookie and ice cream, which she shared with me. That was wonderful!

The food here is above average and our server Summer was outstanding. Don't order the fried chicken. It is a large, hard mound of fried bread that is non-negotiable.

My two daughters and I had lunch here on 6-27-14. The service was friendly and efficient, and my daughters loved their burgers. It was a really nice experience.
I am sad to say that the one sour note was my french dip sandwich. It wasn't bad, it was just... blah. The au jus had no flavor at all. If they had brought me a cup of plain hot water, there would have been no difference. The roast beef had a boiled beef blandness that brought nothing to the taste of the sandwich. I never noticed any sauteed onions, though they may have been buried in the provolone, which was the one excellent ingredient. A cup of a very hot, strong horseradish sauce was served on the side, which I suspect was intended to provide the flavor for the sandwich. I didn't use it since it was a bit too much for me.
As I said, the sandwich wasn't bad, just not very good. But my girls devoured their burgers, and all of us enjoyed the tasty fries that came with our sandwiches, so just avoid the french dip and you should have a great meal.
Pros:
Great service and foodCons:

First of all, the decor is amazing in this place. Did you see the blues artists reliefs on the ceiling? There's also at least one hidden mickey (maybe there's more, but I saw one for sure). Started with the voodoo shrimp, which was good but overpriced. Then I had the cajun chicken pasta which was very good. It didn't come with it, but I ordered the jalapeno cornbread as well and you get a small skillet of it with the best honey butter I've ever had in my life. The cornbread was really good but I didn't taste much jalapeno. I still have dreams about that honey butter though. Definitely want to go back and try the gumbo and the jambalaya, and try to save room for their signature bread pudding.
Keep in mind they have a concert venue next door so that noise might drift over to the restaurant at night.

House of Blues happy hour has been a family tradition of ours for years. Shopping, maybe some bowling and ending our day at House of Blues is a full days worth of fun without paying to get into the parks. Just sit in their courtyard, listen to live music, buy some inexpensive drinks, possibly bring a deck of cards and buy some of their famous cornbread if you have kids and you could be there for hours.
Pros:
Great atmosphere and inexpensiveCons:

Our family of six enjoyed another meal at the Crossroads/House of Blues while at WDW. The food was very good. We love the Voodoo Shrimp, three of us shared this as an appetizer and then also had it for our main meal. One daughter had street tacos which were very small, but she enjoyed them. The other daughter had a chicken sandwich we she enjoyed. Our son had the Juicy Lucy which we all tasted and agreed was not very juicy and was kind of a bland burger. Our server was also very good, he knew the menu, made great recommendations was very efficient and friendly.

We have wanted to do the Gospel Sunday Brunch for quite some time. We travel from upstate New York every year with our friends for our annual Disney Christmas vacation. This year we were in luck and would be at Disney on December 30th, 2012. When we arrived it was a cold day for the Orlando area. We were allowed to wait inside for the show to start.When we were allowed in the brunch was ready and we were seated in the pit (we requested this area). The food was great and the show was even better. The buffet was massive and all the food was hot and good. If you want to check out the menu just look at the House of Blues Orlando web. The entertainment was just fantastic, we had a preacher that kept the theme up-beat and fun. If you are looking for a change of pace from the parks, I highly recommend this show.
Pros:
Great brunch and entertainment.Cons:
Not much of anythingReviewed by lauren94 Review Date: 06/13/2021

My friend and I ate here for Brunch the other day and it was AMAZING!!! The food was so good and they have bottomless mimosas which is always great... I definitely recommend trying their brunch here.
