I would be curious to hear other opinions of House of
Blues in Cambridge.  My wife and I tried it for lunch
and we absolutely loved it.  The lunch menu is a bit
pricey, but the food and service were both great.
I had an amazingly spicy and tasty jambalaya while
my wife had--in my opinion--a rather strange pizza
with smoked salmon and cream cheese.  She raved about
it.  

I think it will turn out to be a popular lunch place
in the square.  The atmosphere is interesting and
it is certainly different from anything else. It
is certainly better than John Harvard's Brew place
(and prices are comparable).

In the evenings it is a blues club, and it looked
like it would be a lot of fun.

I've been to the House of Blues for dinner three times.  The food is
very good across a wide range, from satay to baby back ribs to
vegetarian offerings (veggie burgers, pad thai).  Portions are good
sized, and prices are reasonable ($6.50 for the Blues Burger, ~4.50
for appetizers, ~10 for the ribs).

I saw a no-name cover band upstairs for $6, and they were quite good.
(Kat in the Hat, mostly Stevie Ray Vaughn songs).  They played from
10pm until 1:30am.

The bars (upstairs and down) serve a full menu, so even if you can't
get a table, you can still order whatever you want from the menu.

Lines are long all nights of the week.  I waited an hour to get in
on a Wednesday evening (9pm).  A friend waited 1.5hr to get in last
Tuesday.

Unless you're willing to wait an hour, either go early or wait until
the novelty of the club wears off.

Summary: good food, good prices, good music.  Thumbs up.
