Reviews
There are currently 53 user submitted reviews for this restaurant.The first House of Blues opened in Cambridge, Mass., on Thanksgiving Day in 1992, generously feeding homeless people before opening their doors to the public. Although well known for its concert hall, the Myrtle Beach HOB's restaurant sports a relaxing, cozy atmosphere and the menu is noteably unique with their signature southern theme. Although often overshadowed by the popularity of the concerts and entertainers that perform at the House of Blues, the restaurant is entertaining as well, with a live jazz band, friendly staff, and Sunday Gospel brunches.

This was our first time visiting the restaurant. My husband and I decided to take our children for breakfast. We seated instantly and told that our waitress would be with us shortly. After 15 minutes of waiting for our server, we decided to get started with our breakfast. All 4 of us were seated with our plates and the server still didn't arrive. After waiting another 10 minutes, my husband finally went to ask the hostess if we were going to be able to order drinks. Overall, the food was good. However, after the service received, HOB will not be a restaurant choice for the future. We'll stick to concerts.... ref: 13173

The Gospel Brunch is excellent! We were there last week and loved it. We try to go every beach trip because it is a highlight of our vacation. Go early (about 9am) because last year we arrived later in the morning and the wait was too long for us. The group Glory leads the musical worship service. We enjoyed their music so much that we bought a CD. This brunch us the oportunity to have church while on vacation. My kids were clapping and singing along. Excellent buffet with something for everyone. ref: 13036

We had a party of 6 and we came right between sunday breakfast brunch and the dinner menu (2:30). We waited until 3 (which was also the shift change) and had to wait a long time to get our orders taken. We ordered the famous cornbread and 5 of the 6 liked it. The buffalo wings are HOT, the voodoo shrimp is HOT and the quesedillas are HOT. Overall we weren't too happy with our experience but the restaurant itself was kinda cool. ref: 11165

I had a great time at The House of Blues. The services was great; however, the food was only average. The music made up for the food. The music and atmosphere are great. ref: 10098

Four of us went for the Wed. Prime Rib with coupon buy one get one for 1 cent. Called ahead for 6:30, when we got there we were informed they were our of Prime Rib! this was the special how could they be out? The hostess said we could have buy one get one with anything on the menu. We decided to go ahead. When we were seated the waitress said buy one get one would be honored only if one was over $19.95, Since there were maybe 3 items over 19.95 and all a rip off as far as we could see we left. never ate there and never will. this we the end of January not in season. ref: 9921

I was a little disappointed with this version. I have been to the HOB before and saw a more expansive menu. The catfish nuggets are phenomenal; their beer selection is limited, no Dixie or Abita???? How can you not have traditional New Orleans Beers?
Great shows; average everything else. ref: 8950

We're about to return to MB for a vacation, and certainly will NOT be returning to the HoB due to our previous experience. For a lunchtime meal, two conservative moms and four kids (under 10 yrs.) tallied a whopping $90+ for little more than basic fare. The kids' menu was on the kids' placemats, and did not include a price. We assume the kids' meals must've been $10 or so each...for individual pizza, chicken strips, etc....nothing extravagant. Kids' drinks must've been extra. I had pulled pork and sweet potato fries, and the other mom had shrimp-something. I was treating the group and didn't want to embarrass my mom-friend by making a fuss, but I went home and wrote a letter to HoB, and never received any response whatsoever. The lack of response to my respectful letter and receipt copy is unconscionable...true depth of poor management. ref: 8364

We visited H.O.B. during bike week in May 2007. We went there for a late lunch and sat at the bar. Inside was quite empty but outside was crowded with a band playing. First thing we noticed was even though there was 3 bartenders at the bar , the bar was sticky and had food scraps on it. Had to ask that they clean in front of us. We ordered burgers and they were pretty good but not cheap. At first I was dissapointed that they only had micro beers on tap but the one I had was one of the best micro brews I ever had. Overall the inside atmosphere wasn't that nice and unless we are going there to listen to a band we probably won't be back. ref: 6296

After begging my kids to go to the gospel brunch for 3 years' worth of vacations, they finally agreed this year (mother's day...they couldn't refuse). What a blast! the buffet is actually in the kitchen! it's chaotic and crazy, but the food was delicious, and the whole thing is fun. The live entertainment is terrific and my three kids (20,21,26) enjoyed it more than they anticipated. (they're not into gospel...well the fact that we're jewish could have something to do with it) everythng was yummy, and the biscuits are the best, hands down, i've ever tasted. The price is a little high, but after all, it's the experience you're paying for. ref: 6067

Saw the sign posted Breakfast Buffet 6.99 figured it would be OK. Waited 45 minutes to have a breakfast equal to that of the hotel we stayed at and the breakfast was free at the hotel! Well the hotel may have had a bigger variety. ref: 5657

Might enjoy a concert but breakfast at the HOB is not what I call a buffet. Price was steep for the very few selections offered. ref: 5353

Vistied many times, on the last visit which will probably be my last. my husband and I had dinner on November 11, 2006. I did not have my email available or I would have written immediately. Before ordereing we asked the waitress what vegatables came with the prime rib. She stated it would be white potatos and baked beans. Instead when our meal was delivered it was sweet potatos and vegatables medly. How wrong can one be. She never came back to ask us how our dinner was since she was too busy talking to the staff at the bar. Althoug it was early in the day, around 5:30pm, this is not excuse for poor service and bad food. There are too many good restaurants in Myrtle Beach to want to come back to poor service and being served the wrong thing. Very, very dissapointed loyal customer. ref: 5297

The food is great and the service is fantastic. I hope the service remains at that level with the new owners. Johnna McCumbie is the restaurant manager and she does an excellent job with an excellent staff! Keeping her on board will surely be a step in the right direction. ref: 3542

Everytime we visit Myrtle Beach we try to go to new restaurants. This visit was the HOB. Call ahead seating made the wait time short. Being located at Barefoot Landing we could browse shops prior to our wait. If you really want a treat try to eat around 8:30. Our two teenage children were treated to one set of the live house band while we finished our meal. The portions of food are large and the cost is average for any restaurant. Plenty of food selections to meet different appetities. I tried the Cajun Meatloaf which was very tasty. Not spicy! Great atmosphere. Fun Place. Definately a winner! ref: 2303

If you go there for supper, please order the voodoo shrimp and then you will understand my ongoing protest to get it returned to the lunch menu! ref: 1715

We just love the HOB Myrtle Beach. From when we walked in and were greeted by the hostess (Mary, great gal - people everywhere should take lessons in customer service from her!) to when we left, everything and everyone was perfect. Even with a limited menu, they have an excellent selection of salads, appetizers, and entrees. HOB is a great place, and we enjoy eating there fairly often. ref: 1642

Besides going to a concert this is absolutely one of the best places to go for breakfast. Great selection and omlettes prepared to your preferences and very reasonable. Sunday is a New Orleans style Gospel brunch we reccommend. ref: 1115
