You don't have to be a Beatles fan (who isn't) to enjoy this show, but it helps! The fab four (comprised of the original Beatlemania crew, four very excellent musicians in their own right) take you through a magical mystery nostalgia tour full of authentic sounding harmonies, Sgt. Pepper costumes and, it needs to be said, lots of hair (although John's do resembled more early Streisand than late John), peppered w/ Beatles-like often clever repartee! It's karaoke, singalong time, and, mercifully, there are no Yoko sightings although, acoustically, bbking's would be up to the challenge.... BBKing's is the perfect accompaniment for birthdays and Beatles. It's all good: menu, service, prices. All you need is love.

A fun night for singing along to old favorites. Band members are outgrowing their '60's-style garb! Our 9-year-old enoyed the experience. Service was barely average, and food is outrageously overpriced for this type of venue.

The service was absolutely awful. We had to run after the waiter to order or food and to get water because he would not even acknowledge our existence the entire time we were there. The show was alright, with a lot of songs missing, and some songs present that were fairly repetitive and unnecessary in a tribute show.
