House of Blues at Disney Springs Debuts New 2019 Menu Items

The House of Blues at Disney Springs overflows with art – from the decor to the music to the food. The restaurant itself is surrounded by touches of eclectic, contemporary and traditional southern art, especially folk art. Looking around, you could feel the soul and heart that was put into each piece of art adorning its walls.

There’s nightly live entertainment from local bands to rockstar karaoke acts. It’s also the home to some very soulful, flavorful Southern-inspired dishes.

The very first House of Blues opened its doors in a converted historical house in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1992 and is home to live music, original folk art, and delta-inspired cuisine.

The House of Blues grew out of founder Isaac Tigrett’s love for the unique American art form known as the “the Blues” – the founder aimed to introduce the world to the music of the rural south, including the Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, Jazz and Roots-based Rock & Roll.

Canadian comic actor Dan Aykroyd (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, Blues Brothers 2000) is a co-owner of House of Blues, and can sometimes be found on the building premises enjoying a meal or perusing the merchandise shop, if you look closely enough.

We were excited to have the opportunity to try some of these new dishes as well as some classic crowd favorites.

New House of Blues Dishes:

Country Fried Steak – I enjoyed the hint of peppery spice from this dish, a crispy fried USDA Prime flat iron steak, swimming in a sauce of andouille country gravy, and a nice heaping of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, herb salad

The Yardbird – A bourbon-butter-brushed fried chicken breast, with slaw, buffalo aioli and dill pickles, also available simply grilled. Tasty, crunchy, fabulous fried chicken sandwich.

Classic Favorites:

Voodoo Shrimp – You can really taste the New Orleans creole roots of this dish, a sautéed shrimp in a spicy, flavorful, deep Abita Amber beer reduction sauce served over jalapeño-cheese cornbread. It reminds me of a dish I had at Brennan’s in New Orlean’s French Quarter.

Juicy Lucy – The cheesey hamburger made with a beef-and-bacon grind patty stuffed with provolone cheese and topped with crispy jalapeños, roasted tomatoes, and chipotle mayo

Bourbon Bread Pudding – a taste of heaven on a plate – this bread pudding has hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and that sweet sweet butter. Fluffy and intoxicating.
