The Blues Kitchen in Camden

Attentive, polite staff. Food and drinks yummy. Although the staff were very informed on the menu it would have been nice to have a brief description on the menu.

I was running late, so they sent me a text to ask whether I was still coming! Very efficient. Great food, friendly staff, good vibe

We had a great evening here - beautiful decor and buzzy atmosphere, great music, superb food and warm, friendly service. Will definitely return and would highly recommend.

We just had a drink Good musical atmosphere

Always an amazing time at blues kitchen! Great food, perfectly crafted cocktails and great music! Wednesdays live music is not an occasion anyone should miss.

Waited 20 minutes for our table to be available, even though we booked ahead.

Great venue but unfortunately having booked a tab for 2 in advanced ended up on a tiny table next to the bar with lots of people crowded round and knocking into us which spoiled the meal a bit. Food and service was fantastic

Got charged for someone else's night out, along with ours. The lesson is - check the bill, especially after a Guinness.

Nice music, very friendly atmosphere, not for the best food but quite reasonable, very rich bar

Burgers were amazing! Staff so friendly and enthusiastic! Can’t wait to go back ☺️

Best restaurant in Camden. Amazing steaks and salads. Looking forward to going back!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. Great atmosphere, fantastic service and the food was amazing! I had probably the best vegetarian curry I've ever had! The only thing I'd say if you're going is that it was VERY loud. Granted it was a Saturday afternoon (about 4pm) but even so it was incredibly loud - like so loud you could barely hear yourself think!. My son (who has autism) needed his earphones on (and I could have done with a pair myself!). The service was great and, as I said, the food was delicious, even bringing an allergy chart for my wife (who's gluten intolerant).

I recommend this restaurant. Very delicious

Three of the menu choices we wanted were not available after ordering which was a shame but the alternatives we did get were ok. Thought the live band was meant to be on from 9pm but in reality this was after 1130pm.

Best experience with ridwan as our server. Showed us the best time would come back definitely. Amazing atmosphere

I visited here one afternoon after a busy day exploring London. Service was very prompt and friendly with a great atmosphere. The venue offers a great variety of drinks and menu choices. Will definitely visit again for the live music!

The food was amazing and I cannot fault it at all! The service however was awful. Myself and my partner came to blues kitchen at around 5:00 today 10/10/24 for dinner and the service was horrendous, we’re both managers in hospitality at reputable businesses in York and if my staff acted the way the staff here did they wouldn’t have a job! We were told that booth seats were fully booked however 4 remained empty throughout the entirety of our meal. The lady was polite when taking our order, however the food was quicker to arrive than the drinks as there was only one person on the bar, despite 4+ staff members constantly standing by the heat lamps doing nothing! Once our meals arrived we were not checked on at all despite making eye contact with staff members and sitting directly next to the host stand. Additionally when asking for the bill I looked at a girl who was wearing sunglasses on her head (in October…) and she walked away. I ended up having to ask whoever was at the host stand!! This is such a shame as the venue and the food is amazing it’s just a let down that the staff are rude, untrained, and unprofessional! I would understand if it was busy but it was not busy at all! When we were given our bill it was placed face down on the table and a card machine was forced in-front of us with the total, we were taken aback and just tapped our card and when we were finally able to look at our bill there was a 12.5% service charge which I found ridiculous considering we didn’t receive any service at all!! The waitress clearly put it face down to hide the fact that there was a charge, there was no “does the bill look all okay?” She just put it down (not in a check book) and put the card machine on the table I honestly cannot believe it! I loved the food at Blues Kitchen but due to the service I would not return and would not recvomend it!

Elliot was our server and he was fabulous. Friendly, attentive and prompt. It was a pleasure to be looked after by him. Food was great and the artichoke dip is to die for.

It is a beautifully designed place with different customers day and night. The decor inside is very cool and different. However, it was a bad start and the issue was later resolved by the chef.

Nice bar, but slowest service I’ve ever come across in London, be prepared to wait upwards of 30 minutes for a drink even on a week night. Really nice security surprisingly tho.

THE BEST! Amazing food as always, super friendly and funny team. We chose this place for a reunion amongst friends and ended up making more. We usually go to the Brixton branch but this time we decided to come to Camden and we’re were very pleasantly surprised. My group and myself would like to extend a special thank you to Kenzie, Vicki, Giada, Ridwan, Adriel, Neila who served us and gifted us an amazing evening. Thank you everyone we will be back

As a British man I can honestly say.. best bar in London

They were great. My wife has many dietary request and they were great looking after her

We had a lovely meal. Steak perfectly cooked, great chicken salad and really warm service. Beautiful dining rooom too, looking forward to returning.

Food was excellent and represented great value for money. Service was very good and personable. The complimentary water was a nice touch.

Absolutely loved this place! Wow. It was my friends birthday so they booked us a booth for 10 people. We had the best server ever, I believe she was from South Africa but can’t be sure. I just think I recognised the accent and she had beautiful braids - I wish I got her name. We dined Sat 05/10/2024 at 6:30-9pm ish The cocktails were AMAZING The food was so so good 🤤 Our server was so friendly, funny and attentive. She just felt like someone we knew or a friend 😍 she was amazing. She made our friends birthday very special and it’s the first time he’s properly celebrated his birthday. Thank you so much!

I researched before booking so knew the food was good. What made it absolutely amazing was the service. Every single member of staff was attentive, polite and happy. Highly recommend.

Terrific food, good service. A real go-to in Camden

Great lunch. We went bottomless and the drinks were flowing. The staff kept an eye on our glasses and were over checking if we needed a top up quickly. Food was delicious Restaurant was great and I’m sure would be a fab venue in the evenings when the music is on. Thoroughly recommend and will go back.

Just a terrible all round experience. There is no issue regarding to mood inside but the staff is amongst the most unprofessional and biased i have ever seen. NEVER COME HERE. I was kicked out without an explanation for “vaping” whereas most of the women here vape on a constant basis. The bouncer at the queue just said good night and expected me to jog off after paying £8 to get in to this really average club. I’ll say it again NEVER COME HERE.

The experience was amazing, you can find a lot of energy and good vibes in this bar. The live music definitely is one of its strengths. If you like spicy food, this is your place

Lovely service and food was nice and hot!! Cocktails were great too!

Holy freakin chicken wing heaven!! The Szechuan wings were crispy and flavourful. The mac and cheese, while not traditional is quite good as weak. Friendly vibes from the moment I walked in. Great atmosphere with subdued lighting and attractive decor. Hits all the marks, I’ll be back for sure!

Super good food served by friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Very welcoming staff, delicious food. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stay here again.

We visited the Blues Kitchen in Camden on Saturday evening, it’s a nice place, seating area was very crammed not easy to navigate especially with drinks in hand. The staff were lovely and extremely friendly. When I booked the table I was told we could only have it for an hour and 15minutes, which suited perfectly as we were heading to a show at 8, and needed to leave the restaurant at 7.15. Unfortunately our table wasn’t ready at 6, and we had to wait until 6.20 to be seated which put us under pressure, so the whole dining experience was very rushed.

Amazing place and great live music. I had a Big boss burger which was juicy and very tasty. Chips were extra salted though

I know burgers are a safe place, but please go for the main plates, they are delicious. The show was awesome and so was the food. Make sure to book in advance, as it was really crowded even in Monday.

Shared the beef ribs. Food was fantastic, the staff were lovely and the ambiance was lovely.

Me and my boyfriend went for our anniversary and it was amazing! The service was so good, Jim and Kay were so lovely ! People kept leaning on our table and leaving empty’s there and they were on it. Insane how many people would get annoyed and shout ‘fuck off’ to the staff when they were juggling plates everywhere and politely said excuse me….love it thanks for having us 💜

Very hip, corn bread to die for and fun music for everyone

Habib is a good lad, always of service and made the pace feel secure

My first time having a Lychee Martini and it was soooo good. The drinks are just amazing!!

The food and atmosphere are "first class".

Went to the Brixton branch and loved it so much I ended up coming here a few weeks later! Just as good, friendly service, great drinks!

Visited Blues Kitchen in Camden for a catch up with a friend, and absolutely loved it! We were OBSESSED with the Tequila Coladas, best drink for sure! Food was perfect, affordable and live music during the evening just to top off the perfect evening, definitely recommend for meet ups with friends, date night or even family lunches! Thank you Blues!

Great food & service! We throughly enjoyed the short ribs and please ask for a passion fruit margarita.

Went today 26/09 - me and my coworker/s usually go for lunch for the lunch menu - however was very disappointed today. They did not communicate that the wine upgrade was not included on the lunch menu anymore so myself and my coworker were shocked to see we had been charged an extra 15 pounds. This would’ve been fine if someone had informed us of the change in the menu deal. Lack of training I assume? We did question this after paying the bill and was only then told of the change. It would have been fine, but I feel that if you are to change something that is regularly done at your restaurant you should communicate the change to customers to avoid this sort of confusion.

Loved everything about this place. Came here multiple nights on our visit to London. They are open late, the food is delicious and the service is great. Everyone is really cool and friendly that works here. The live music is some of the best!

One of the best American style bar food was fab must try buffalo wings with blue cheese dip. At the weekends it would be fun with live music. Also try pork ribs in the mains. Cheers for good times🥂🥂🤩🤩

Came on a Monday night for my boyfriend’s birthday to listen to the free entry live music, which was wonderful! We had a booking for 8 but our table wasn’t available so we had a tasty drink at the bar before quickly being shown to our seat. We felt really cared for and the service was great - the food even better. We had a lovely night and will definitely be back 💗

Was very impressed by the service of a young gentleman named Andrew or Andy. This employee went above and beyond and made us feel amazing . Please pass on the praise.

Had a great time here, lovely food and a really nice place.

Thank you to our amazing server last night, she is new and made such a great experience for us as regulars so thank you! She wore a black top )

Came on a Saturday night and we had a great time. The place gets really busy, however we never waited a long time for our food/drinks - it always came pretty quickly! Friendly service, great drinks and yummy food - loved the vegan cheeseburger!

Love the vibe of the place! Amazing interior design! Great music, they have live soul/r&b/jazz every night and stays open until after midnight! I tried the blackened salmon and food was exceptional! Definitely a great place to visit! Staff very smiley and friendly! Will definitely return!

A great vibey spot for cocktails and food, you can never go wrong here.

Went there for my birthday on a Wednesday it was perfect because they were doing £6 cocktails all evening! the staff were so nice and friendly, I got the st Louis pork rib and it was amazing, and got some free Oreo donuts which was so nice and thoughtful of the restaurant. The live music was so good aswell we were sipping cocktails and singing along all night!

The bartender Tara was so so lovely!! Such a lovely girl - had a lovely chat! Her mixology skills are top tier too - the drinks were so so tasty :)

This is one of my favourite restaurants/ bars in London, Amy was our waitress and was absolutely lovely! She took great care of us celebrating a 21st birthday and will be back, a slight shame they didn’t have some items on the menu however an incredible night overall! 😁😁

Amazing service and food! spicy Margaritas are the best!!! I Recommend 100%

Really nice athmosphere and good Music sunday night jam.

Lovely place! We went on a Saturday night as it was listed to have live music and DJs from 9pm onwards . It was obviously very busy and we didnt have a reservation but the host put us on a waiting list and we had a drink at the bar. We got a lovely table within 45 mins of being there. All the staff were very friendly. The food we ordered was good and plenty of it. The only disappointment was that there was no live music as advertised (we left at just before 10.30pm)..... Only music playing was through the speakers and a distinct lack of "blues" at that. Would go again providing the "live blues" element was present.

I went there with a friend as I am not in that type of music. I only stayed for a couple of hours . Very crowded. But the staff are good and it seems a safe place. Although I saw some people vaping inside. I don't go to places like this often. I'm not sure if vaping is allowed there, but I guess it is . I did not eat there

Wonderful food and a courteous service! Definitely recommend!

A wonderful place. A large selection of drinks, and live music in the evening. Super

The staff in the evening of 13/09 gave us the best service we’ve ever experienced! We celebrated a birthday, they were super accommodating and attentive. We really had the best time, we’ll be coming here more often for sure!

Love the blues kitchen! Good food, great atmosphere and good prices!

Nice spot, Staff especially the guy in the long sleeve white t shirt, really good. Allowed me to move my reservation and were really attentive and kind.

What a great music pub in Camden Town - great atmosphere, interesting artists. There is no entrance fee and the prices are completely ok.

Daphne us the best. Thank you Daphne and kitchen for the amazing food and bar for the amazing drinks

Amazing food and great value too!! Taco bowls were amazing!! Highly recommend !

We had a reservation for a table for 3. We ordered food and drinks. After 45 minutes we were asked to pay and leave the table. We hadn't finished our drinks. This was very strange because reservation is usually for 2 hours!

I was here on a Sunday as I wanted to have the bottomless wings which cost £14 per person and they had two sauces on offer - buffalo and schezwan , both incredibly delicious. The service is good. The staff are prompt and polite. The ambience is great, there’s ample seating and between 12-6 it’s quite packed so it’s better you make a reservation in prior. I have been here before and also to their other outlets and the only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the fact that at first I was given 2 dirty plates until o asked them to change it and it was quite disappointing. They changed the plates later but I was already put off.

Extremely rude staff. Drinks taken away from our table when not finished, staff looked at cctv at the bar and replaced drinks with half measures as 'thats all that was left' Spoke to the manager who said we should be more careful with our drinks! Never going back which is a shame as the music was fantastic.

Such a great place! Been coming here for years and never had less than amazing experience. Whole team is brilliant and special shout out to Daphne, who looked after us on the night, she is fabulous!

Popped in to check for dinner, however when we noticed their simple sauce pots were priced at nearly £10 we opted for a beer and moved along. The atmosphere is extremely trendy and cozy, offering a live music venue is highly appreciated. The downstairs men's toilets were in a dodgy state as the troughs-uninals were pooling 'liquid', and had smelt pretty bad.

The food is absolutely gorgeous especially the chicken burger and the cheeseburger!! The place is a very aesthetically jazzy place which is very cute!! But the service was really bad, low key aggressive and very expensive service charge!

My friend and I went to The Blue’s Kitchen to celebrate a big achievement of hers and the staff were so friendly and helpful when it came to surprising her on the day! They made extra sure that we were sat at a table that we liked, The Mac and cheese was a highlight for us, as well as the desserts menu. Would definitely go again!

The food was delicious and the place is really aesthetic with a jazzy vibe !! The service was really bad and really expensive!!!

Nice food friendly staff good atmosphere, security was friendly as well made customer feel welcome at the door

Outstanding. Superb service and great vibes. Will come again!

I had lunch at the Blues Kitchen yesterday and it was brilliant as usual. Speedy service and the lunch deal makes it perfect for a mid week treat.

Love love loveeee - could come here again and again. There always seems to be a new cocktail to try and the foods always delicious. Would recommend

Fantastic night at Blues Kitchen. Amazing food served by brilliant staff. The soul band who came on around 9.45 were superb. Fabulous atmosphere all night. Would definitely recommend.

Sunday blues jam is a must!!! Wicked live music and it was the perfect end to the weekend.

Fascinating world for Blues lovers. The place is beautiful, and the quality of the musicians who go there to share their art is top level. I would go there all the time if I lived in London.

Camden branch was a brilliant experience. Great service great food definitely returning.

Amazing food, a little spicy but delicious. Sometimes the music is very loud and it becomes difficult to talk. Good prices.

Two separate waitresses showered me with compliments, which was so absolutely lovely of them. The buffalo wings in Blues Kitchen are the best in London

Staff found a rat in the cupboard near the service hatch whilst I was eating here

Atmosphere is a win, but service is awful. The bartenders are not older than 25 years old and make terrible drinks. Also two of them got on a brawl with each other and we had to wait for it to finish only for one of them to give us two crappy cocktails. Don't try to save money on staff TBK, It'll cost you in the long run!

Nice ambience and place. Bit overpriced and small dishes but were tasty. Would have to try on live music days to see

Great place to eat and drink. Very chilled ambience. Friendly staff.

Very welcoming space. I loved the food

Good selection of American style food, burgers, taco bowls, etc

I loved the place, I loved the music, but was ver diappointed to hear that the waitresses DO NOT RECEIVE THE TIPS YOU LEAVE THEM if you pay by card..this is disgraceful exploitation. I was also informed that if they were known to have mentioned this to customer they would be fired.I am a regular customer I go two or three times a month ..and now i will only use cash

Amazing. Food and all the staff are lovely great atmosphere and blues music amongst others they had a Jimmy hendrix night .

Lovely staff, great food - would definitely visit again

The food was lovely and they had a great choice of cocktails. I would personally recommend the spicy margarita. It was perfect for a birthday dinner as there was a large group of us and the restaurant were very accommodating when I asked if 2 more people could attend despite having a reservation for a certain number of people.
