We had so much fun checking out @biscuitsandblues for a perfect San Francisco date night. Thank you for hosting us! 🎶 It’s been around for 30 years in the heart of Union Square and is widely known for being a top Blues venue. We had the privilege of watching Hamilton Loomis perform while chowing down on southern food and flaky biscuits. What more can you ask for than hot biscuits and cool blues 💙 * * * * * #welovesf #mysecretsf #onlyinsf #visitsanfrancisco #visitsf #7x7bayarea #alwayssf #thingstodoinsf #visitcalifornia #igsanfrancisco #sflove #sfforever #travelsf #sanfrancisco #sfbayarea #sfgate #igerssf #sfblogger #sf #bayarea #sfnative #yoursf #tastesummersf #sfeats #sfmusic #blues #bluesrock #bluesrockmusic #sfdatenight

Southern influenced food is good and unpretentious but best of all is the music at SF's only home for nationally touring Blues and roots music artists. Love supporting them for that.

If you are looking for a special evening with great music, this is the place! There is not a huge menu, but the food is fantastic. There are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options. There is not a bad seat in the house, and we had a wonderful evening.

it was pretty terrible. We got there early to get in line becuase we were not sure if we had seats or not. We booked through OpenTable, but there we were able to request a certain type of table and on the website for the restaurant it was different. Through OpenTable we were not sure if we were being charged for tickets or not. The entire process was confusing. When we got to the restaurant the lobby was packed, and cold wind blowing in the door, we moved out of the wind and another patron immediatley and aggressively accused us of jumping to the front of the line. We were actually trying to get to the back of the line which had looped around. The gentleman in the lobby had no control of what was going on and did not organize the line or make an comments. At that point since it was crowded and I was not able to ask anyone, I ended up also buying tickets on line. I cannot confirm if I have been double charged at this time or not. We ended up being the 5th table seated. We ordered drinks and got them, then we ordered dinner. We started to notice that all the tables around us we finishing their dinners and we had not received ours yet. We asked again where our dinner was, and we still got nothing. We asked a 3rd time, same waitress and she asked who we ordered from. I told her it was her and it was the 3rd time. She ran off. We received dinner about 10 minutes later, but didnt receive our bisquits for about 20 -25 minutes. She did appologize but at this point we were the very last table served and among the first in there. Then we received our bill and they double charged us for the biscuits. We were actually expecting them to take the biscuits off the bill since in total we waited for about 1-1/2hrs to get biscuits. They did not. I dont recommend this venue or the service, at all.

Brought my son here and he loved it. The live music was incredible, definitely the highlight of the night. It was a little loud, hard to hold a conversation, but honestly worth it for the atmosphere. He ordered the pulled pork sandwich and now says it’s better than In-N-Out, which is about as high a compliment as he gives. Great spot for good food and even better music.
