Built in 1997 with old tin salvaged from a rural tobacco barn, the restaurant and concert hall were designed to recreate a traditional farmhouse and tobacco warehouse.

The venue is home to a collection of eclectic folk art featuring such notables as Jimmy Lee Sudduth. Much of the art was created by African Americans who were self taught and made their art from such elements as mud and molasses or a variety of discarded items. Some appear to be rants or series of words painted or drawn on slabs of wood. Elvis, Jesus, Buddha and flowers, cats and dogs might be found on the same wall. The entertainment value of the art is part of the charm of the concert hall.

Concerts feature such notables as Buddy Guy, Blues Traveler, David Allan Coe, Jonny Lang and many others in a wide variety covering almost every genre.

During peak summer season, free live entertainment for dancing and dining is presented in the restaurant and/or in the B B Blues Bar outdoors in a setting resembling a New Orleans blues joint.
