What diners say — our read

People either love this place or they do not, and the ratings show it. Reviewers who mention service rate this place 4.8 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (16 reviews). 18 of 21 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower. One subject never comes up here: how clean the place looks.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (99/100), with 1 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. DBPR last walked in on July 8, 2025. On health score it sits safer than 87% of the Orange County restaurants we grade.

    Attended the summer blockbuster tour in support of band South Arcade. Was my first time at the House of Blues, and I was impressed with the layout, the excellent staff service, and the incredible vibe from the audience as all six bands rocked out!

    The meal and the service were excellent. Jermaine, our waiter was so good.

  • June 26, 2026

    Great live music, delicious food, great service from Jermaine. All in all a great choice for a dinner

    Jamie, our server, was INCREDIBLE. Friendly, efficient and so in top of it. My wife is gluten free and she was sure to be accommodating. We never once had to ask for something, she was always right there. Brava! Food was also so good, got the blackened salmon, chicken tenders and shrimp po boy, would definitely get again. Sweet tea was also delicious. Joey Rodriguez was doing live music, one man band and he DID NOT disappoint - super cool to watch and voice like butter.

    Dinner here was wonderful. Great atmosphere and the beignets stole the show!

  • June 23, 2026

    Genuinely shocked at how quickly our food was ready. We didn't have to wait for a table. Our server was incredibly kind. 4 stars on the food, because it was pretty basic or standard. Nothing stood out or had a wow factor. It was delicious, but that's what we expected. Overall great dine in experience.

    Absolutely one of the worst steaks I've ever had. I ordered a sirloin steak it was so thin, overcooked, so full of fat and gristle, I hardly got any steak. NOT worth the $42 they charged me

    My 1st time splurging for Loge and I'll never go back. Amazing show (Jinjer!).

    We love the house of blues. It was busy but it was efficient. Only thing not good about our experience was my husband's steak was not even hot enough to melt his butter herb blend. The server was too busy to give you more than a minute because he was running from table to table. So just not as attentive as I would perfur.

    Pior lugar , disparado, que eu já comi e bebi em Orlando ! Não vale a pena ! Vendem bolo de milho falando que é pão e o frango com cebola que pedi veio mergulhado no óleo além da quantidade mínima ! Definitivamente não vale 1 centavo ! Atendimento também ruim demais e o ambiente bagunçado nível máximo !

    A huge shoutout to Byron at House of Blues Disney Springs! Thank you for making our concert experience last night so amazing. Your kindness, professionalism, and positive attitude truly stood out and helped make the night even more memorable. We really appreciated all your help—thanks, Byron! 🎶😊

    Saw The Runarounds at House of Blues and they were great. Fun energy, good crowd, and a really enjoyable show. The venue was easy to navigate, and the concert had a cool intimate feel. Definitely worth seeing.

    Stopped to get out of the heat and grab a bite to eat. Nachos with brisket were plentiful and delicious, as were the margaritas! 😋 Our server was on top of things during our visit, and oh so friendly!

    The food, service and atmosphere were over the top for our entire family. They embraced us as a part of theirs. We will be back!

    I hadn’t been to the House of Blues in quite some time. They used to have a Mediterranean calamari bowl that I absolutely loved, and while I’m disappointed it’s no longer on the menu, I still had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was amazing, and the food was very good. More importantly, I had an awesome time with my son and family during our vacation. My son especially enjoyed the Fruity Pebbles milkshake, which was a fun and unique Overall, thank you, House of Blues, for creating such a great atmosphere and helping make our family vacation even more enjoyable. We look forward to coming back again.

    Food was great! Enjoyed the music!

    I saw Lacuna Coil here back in 2014 and this venue was amazing! I loved that it had multiple bars to get drinks and no matter where I stood, I could see the band very well. 2026 update: saw t pain and lacuna coil again and venue would be nice if you got there early and grabbed a good spot. Both of these concerts we were stuck standing in an aisle without a good view of the stage. Actually t pain was grossly overbooked we couldn’t breath and were standing shoulder to shoulders with other people with no room. Glad there was not any kind of emergency or but really no room couldn’t even to dance or anything. Scared to leave position to get drinks from bar because we would’ve lost our already crappy spot. TLDR it is a small venue so plan to get there early for a good spot

    Great service and atmosphere. The food was also tasty
