The Blues Kitchen in Camden

Went in for a quick bite before a gig. £6 margarita Tuesdays. Went for the plum, and it was very good! So good.. I had 2 Had a chicken burger, which wasn't much to look at but was absolutely delicious 👌🏻

Had a great time! Rowena made the best cocktail for us. Great service

A truly superb blues bar, all in full swing. A children's and jazz atmosphere.

The sharing rib meal, a feast of corn and crab butter, creamy mac n cheese, chips, and a refreshing dressed lettuce wedge, was so utterly delicious that it completely erased the memory of the poor service. The beef rib was sensationally tender and tasty. The drinks and cocktails leaned towards the pricey side, but if catching the live entertainment then it's excellent value. Highly recommended food. My Guinness had a clover imprint in the foamy head! Beautiful decor added to the ambience.

Not the vibe I was looking for, if you are looking for basic vibes go here.

Great restaurant, food and service were fabulous. Chicken sandwich with hot honey and the beef share plate were both superb. Cocktails for anyone taste.

We would've given this place five stars overall if it weren't for the atrocious value for money. The service was fantastic, and the food was great and different from anything we've tried before, but the fact that a single toasted sandwich cost £15 was impossible to overlook - simply too much money for the portion size even by London standards. It also didn't come with chips, so we had to pay an extra £5 for a little pot...they were amazing though!

Amy and Matt and Jeff were the besttt! Great food and cocktails especially the passion fruit zombie. Loved it thanksss!

A lovely meal before seeing Nubya Garcia at Koko. The service from Mattie was amazing - efficient, friendly, kind and polite. The shrimp sandwich was delicious. Thank you - looking forward to trying Manchester soon.

The food is always nice here & it's a lovely atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive.

gave us a free desert for my friends birthday! really quick service, lovely atmosphere and lunch was yum!

I usually go to the Blues kitchen so I know the food and atmosphere is always on point! I had to leave a review for the Camden branch as I had lovely service from three staff, unfortunately did not get the person’s name who seated me and took my order but she was helpful and asked if I needed feeding chair for my baby. Jim and Marnie were also attentive and helpful being they knew I was on my own with my baby. Marnie was kind to hold my baby for me whilst I put my baby sling on, when I was leaving. Overall was pleased with everything!

Excellent staff. Good buzz in the room. It was a Monday too. Like the decor. Menu picing is reasonable. Decent range of on tap beers. Cocktails 🍸 were good I'm told. Good evening out.

Absolutely amazing place!!! Everything about this place felt like i was welcome. The open mic music night was spectacular. The food blew my mind (i had the taco bowl with shrimp and avocado) and i have had the best cocktail in my life here (the lychee one). The bouncer was super friendly and promised to keep an eye on me. (i was alone 21 year old girl) I felt very safe staying until 1 am. Ive met some locals but also some internationals. Its a very inclusive place. Service was out of this world. Everyone is happy, like the staff genuinely enjoys their jobs. Bartenders are attentive. We had to wait a couple minutes for our table to be free (we made a reservation at 8pm and we got our table at 8.15pm) The person in charge kindly offered me and my friends a free drink. We were planning on getting a cocktail first so we asked if that was okay. (Since we felt bad about ordering the most expensive one) but he shrug his shoulders and said "ofcourse thats totally fine!!!" with a big smile on his face. Me and my friends are from the Netherlands and visited london for 4 days. We went to many different bars and pubs and restaurants. This one was 100% my favourite.

Everything was amazing. I arrived 20 minutes late and our receptionist kindly put us first on the list. After 3 minutes we were shown to our table where our amazing waitress Kenzie gave us an amazing night with her good humor and her lovely energy

Kenzie Kenzie Kenzie she such a charming lady and she has great energy we felt like we were home. When we ask about anything on the menu she knows everything and she shares her thoughts and advises us to go with certain things she didn’t disappoint us.

Hi had the best birthday meal there last night! The service was excellent and food was good. They were friendly and kept the drinks flowing. Would highly recommend!!

Lovely date night with amazing vibes. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and cocktails boozy and with character, just how I like them.

The place is very well-groomed and full of quality people. I enjoy it every time I come.

We stopped by during a cold day to get a couple of Irish coffees. The staff was very welcoming and we also liked our drinks.

Excellent place, very nice and clean. The attention is attentive and careful. The food is very good too. It has a small stage in the background, I didn't go to the night where I suppose everything gets much better. Highly recommended!!

Was an excellent place, whilst there was a little issue with how long food took, the proactive response from the manager was superb (even though it was barely an issue)...superb!! Will go again. Cocktails fun, good menu, do recommend (and haven't even checked out the music, which I'm sure will make it even better).

Had my birthday dinner here yesterday and it was brilliant! Everything from the decor to the awesomely friendly staff - they really took care of us and made us feel welcome. The food was super delicious (the corn bread was such a treat!) and the cocktails were tasty (and reasonably priced). Will be back again soon for sure.

Great atmosphere, was super packed however for a booking of 15 people and to be given 3 small round tables stopped this from being a full 5 stars... However we made it work and overall it was a great evening.

Very chic bar! Unfortunately, the live music doesn't start until relatively late (9:45 p.m. in our case) and there are only small stools with tables in front of the stage.

Jim , We had a very unpleasant experience with the staff. A waiter rudely pressured us to pay and leave the table, even though we only wanted to check the total before settling the bill. His attitude was negative and unfriendly, which made us feel uncomfortable. We understand that restaurants need to turn tables, but there are more polite ways to communicate this. Unfortunately, after this experience, we have no desire to return or recommend.

Very nice and cozy place with live music and tasty food 😋 waitress Amy is the best she is a sunshine girl friendly and very helpful💖

I had great time, good food, good vibes and our waitress Amy was absolutely amazing!!

Always love a trip to the blues kitchen, unreal bacon cheeseburger, perfectly cooked steak and the watermelon cucumber salad starter was absolutely divine. Great cocktails too accompany 🥰

Amazing food, however the service from Amy was fantastic. Will definitely come back

Amy was literally the sweetest girl ever!! Service 100/10!!

Had a very pleasant Wednesday evening with lots of good food, good drinks and live music. £6 per cocktail. Local Camden beer recommended.

Kenzie is as so hospitable and kind. Even though she was juggling multiple big tables, we was present and attentive to each. Her talents are undeniable and she is irreplaceable. So great at her job. Please give her a raise and make her employee of the month :)

I booked this for my partner as a surprise. Our table was for 7.30 on a Thursday and got there an hour early, so we happily had a cocktail and sat by the bar. One our table was ready.. our food was lovely! But no music was playing and it quickly got really busy- at about 8 we asked our waitress when the music might start. She said 10pm and that we had to leave our dinner table at 8.30 for other people- but by this time there were no other seats left. The time of the music was shown nowhere in the bar or on the website and meant we would’ve had to wait 3 and a half hours overall - we chose to leave and go somewhere else but were really disappointed.

Such a nice place with amazing staff and good vibes. I enjoyed my time there and prices were very reasonable.

We were 20 mn late and considered no show but the waitress managed to find a table for us. We had the chicken burger and a taco bowl, both really good.

There was a shard of ceramic / plate inside the cheeseburger spring rolls. This was very dangerous and could have caused serious injury. They took the spring rolls back, but no further effort was made by the staff. I don’t know why this would happen but I would never eat here again.

I’ve been coming to the Blues Kitchen for yours and I’m so devastated to see two of my favourite dishes off the menu - Philly cheese steak and the brisket sandwich. The menu is just not as appealing anymore, so not much desire to return :(

Girls who are very smiling and attentive to our needs, not low level of English

Absolutely lovely food and great staff. Definitely be back.

Juliet was amazing!! so welcoming and accomodating. Highly recommend coming here for a dance and drink!!

Managed to get a table after a long day at London zoo. The place was busy even early evening. Great decor, vibe and music. The food was really good too. I would defo recommend the sharing plate of short rib for 2 …amazing!!

First time visiting the blues kitchen and it was wonderful! The food was delicious and would suggest the pork rib, chicken and gravy and the oreo doughnuts. The open mic night was lovely to hear all the talented musicians performing.

Service was good however the food was quite poor. Burgers were dry and lacked flavour, mac and cheese wasn’t cheesy at all just the top layer and the pork rib was okay but considering I have been to the blues kitchen in Shoreditch and loved the food there I’m afraid that we were unfortunate to attend the Camden restaurant

Fantastic food&Our service was made extra special by amy she really looked after us and was so kind,she is a real asset to blues kitchen and we will 1000% be back soon!!X

My friend said the salmon could’ve done with a few more spuds and the heating needed turning up a bit (was freezing outside!)…only niggles though as the food was excellent, and service second to none. Ribs were top and the staff were really friendly and helpful! Would Definitely come back.

Good food, and great atmosphere. Prices not bad either.

Fantastic venue for my wife’s 40th birthday. Staff were fantastic and were very accommodating. Great atmosphere, and the food was amazing. Thank you

This place is great mainly because of the music—that’s its biggest advantage. However, the service nowadays is terrible. You’re rushed to eat quickly just to free up the table, and the staff is extremely pushy. You can’t stand at the bar, you can’t sit here or there—it feels like you’re not welcome. I used to come here 15 years ago when I was a student, and back then, it was a completely different experience.

One of the best places in London, iconic. I love the ambiance, the cocktails, the live music! Singing at the blues jam is always fun. The food is also great!

Service makes a meal! Exceptional service from all the team at Blues Kitchen. My husband & I, visit every year to celebrate our anniversary & the team consistently remember and provide amazing service. Can’t thank you all enough! (A celebratory Prosecco each & dessert was also complimentary - thank you).

Went to blues kitchen for lunch and there wasn't much choice. Then we ordered a beef and ox shin sandwich which with mac n cheese, also fried chicken and gravy. The food was bland there was no taste to either portions from the gravy, chicken to the chips, from the beef sandwich to the mac n cheese... no taste at all. I've been previously and food had been good and decent but standards seem to be slipping.

Great service and food was very tasty. I would definitely recommend

Came to blues kitchen on a Sunday evening, it was absolutely packed and yet our server Matti was impeccable. She was unbelievably friendly and helpful with the menu and also my friend’s dietary requirements. Had to make a review just hoping management see this as she was fab! Food also 10/10!

it was my first jazz bar and there are no words to explain how much I enjoyed it. the singer and the band were incredible, the vibe was immaculate and the camden beer was so great! the red light made it so vibrant and intimate. If you go to London this places is a MUST.

loved the vibe and performances here - had such a fun time! however, can get very crowded and drink prices are high

Fantastic vibe, great performance!

very good a nice place to have a good night, very good staff

Really good but live music finished early and it became a disco after. Need more live music and for longer. Other than that will be back

The atmosphere was great with the live blues music. But only had a small place that was hard to walk

Amazing food and atmosphere live music started at 10pm and added to the great experience would definitely recommend to anyone

You’ve heard of messi, Ronaldo, maradona, Antony; This… this is John Barnes’s the GREATEST OF ALL TIME I have no idea of what in the 18+ they are doing to the chicken in the back but wow I do not care, do what you want to it Absolutely incredible from start to finish, drinks in an incredible atmosphere amazing starters (get them chicken wings or I’ll get you in your sleep) and the mains were just insane my only complaint being I needed more room in my stomach! Similar price to Wagamamas and for what you get twice the value Get yourself in here now neila and Juliet give them a raise immediately

What a place! Very beautiful and on this wednesday there was a fantastic group playing covers. When all the people were singing Back to Black with the group it was fabulous! Don't miss it!

Careless and rude management - David was really quite condescending.

The atmosphere is lovely with the stage and the area for food. The service was quick and effective. I was disappointed that the band came out very late

Always love the Blues Kitchen, fun food and atmosphere

Great service fantastic place I love the place great cocktails live music

great £6 cocktails on wednesdays, cheap prices, and amazing performances!

First time in camden needed to find a glutten free place, this little gem came on find me glutten free app . On arrival they were not sure what I could have my partner suggested ribs but they said the mac chess had glutten in i was about to choose something else without deciding on the ribs when it came out without sides the manager think her name was marta) had to get involved she was brilliant. I was about to choose chicken before the ribs arrived she quite happily offered to get me a piece at no extra charge. Their food was amazing the staff brilliant having a manager like her I'm not surprised a lovely team she even gave me a dessert as it was my birthday and to top it off I was not ill as I'm very sensitive to any glutten so well done to the chef x

Great experience, security was on point, especially Habeeb!!

Really good food, nice welcome, but from there, service dropped off a cliff. Had to ask to order food, had to wait an age for finished mains to be collected. Had to ask for dessert menus, no one asked how food was....not busy with plenty of space and a member of staff stood almost next to us on reception for the entire meal. Won't revisit.

Great service. Amazing food. Lots of options for gluten free too.

The staff manager could have been kinder in telling us to leave the table after dinner

Great service from Mattie give her a raise

Gorgeous place, amazing service from start to finish, and absolutely delicious food, we loved everything we ordered!!!!

Great customer service. Great environment. Food not so great this time.

Good food, great atmosphere. Pork rib was fatty. The ox cheek nuggets were amazing. Run ice tea was great

Atmosphere is great here and staff always happy to help but have to say food is overpriced for what you get and not of a consistent standard

Amy was amazing, delivering attentive service and was so nice to us the whole night. would come back due to the amazing service delivered my amy. really enjoyed my evening, great night and great food with excellent service.

Food Good Place was heaving so service wasn't that good. Price was reasonable until you notice 12.5% service charge automatically added.

I popped in as a treat to myself. I was very well looked after and it really didn't feel like I was dining alone ❤️

Nice food, lovely staff but most of all amazing vibes. I totally recomand!

Better places for a better price!

Very attentive and friendly staff. Food is ok, as expected from a chain of latenight bars.

Just got drinks here, but a social place with some great blues music. Fun place to talk to new people and the food looked good!

I've lived in London quiet some time now and first time I've visited The Blues Kitchen. Really nice vibe, beer, drinks and service. Staff were really friendly too, bar staff, staff moving around the bar and guys on the door, all excellent.

Lady with red hair was an absolute super star who made our experience outstanding

Really good venue. Good music and service. Our server Mattie was one of the best servers we’ve had 11/10 service. Thank you!!!

Fantastic menu and food was great. Loved the Ambience. Would highly recommend

He estado en la cocina de blues un par de veces y recomiendo encarecidamente, pero hoy vinimos y tuvimos la misma comida de siempre y tengo que decir que el pollo era muy grasoso y la salsa era MUY sosa! También han reemplazado la sabrosa ensalada de col por 3 trozos de pepino, lo que fue decepcionante. El servicio era bueno y el restaurante tiene un ambiente encantador, pero la comida de hoy fue muy decepcionante y no estoy seguro de que volvería de nuevo, lo que es una pena : (

got spiked! so that wasn’t great. staff weren’t helpful even slightly - no one was trained on what to do & my friends (all 19 - 21) were left to try and help me before the ambulance arrived. genuinely shocking how such a popular establishment doesn’t have trained staff for when guests are spiked.

The table service was excellent. The Canadian guy was very friendly and welcoming. A great atmosphere and food was yummy. The live music was awesome but the break in-between was too long and the choice of DJ music did not go with the song choices of the band and so it felt like a very long wait.

A nicely decorated bar and restaurant but service was just average (took 25 minutes for two cokes to be brought to our table and we asked 3 times) and the burger I had was again very average.

Fun place, great vibe, band on a thursday night was a blast.

Very small place, the music was not good and the food was basic, nothing special.

i recently visited The Blues kitchen in camden london with my family. The atmosphere was inviting and the staff were super friendly and nice.The burger and the chicken meals we had were delicious and flavourful. Highly reccomend this place for anyonle looking for a great meal and super affordable aswell.

Absolutely incredible I turned up not really knowing what to expect but I have now found a go to London spot for everything I may need just a incredible time all round

Came for my 30th! Was all going great and then a very very creepy group of older men just sat next to the dance floor harassing every woman that tried to come to the booth. They did kicked them out eventually, but three different women and two men had to complain, and it felt like they were regulars. If a bunch of sober weird men are sat watching the woman and being creepy please bar them for life.

. The ribs source was rather tangy Ambience was good although slightly ruined by other patrons kids and the restaurant will say they don’t have any control over this and that’s fine I’d only ask that the restaurant advise customers with kids to be mindful of other patrons

Chicken wings were good but the mains we're pretty disapointing. We had the fried chicken and gravy which had a good texture but was flavourless, and the beef rib which was tasty but very fatty and made us feel a bit sicky after eating. £75 for two was a bit pricey for not the best food. Service was good and fast and the vibe is good, especially once the live music starts
