Came back home for the weekend. Thought I would try to support one of the local restaurants.The owner is very rude. I ordered ribs, collared greens, and beans and rice. The ribs were horrible overcooked. I was unable to even bite a section of the ribs because they were so hard. The greens were good but cold the beans lacked flavor and were cold. My girlfriend had fried chicken, yams and mac and cheese. All of her food was cold. The chicken wasn't even golden brown. The very nice waitress sent the owner over to our table,So that he could examine our meal. I told him what was wrong with with the food. And he simply dropped a napkin in my plate and took the food away. No, I'm sorry, how can I make this right, nothing. Totally unprofessional and disrespectful. Happy to say I will never attempt to eat here again. Try to support a local business and this is the thanks I get. .

We had a blast at the New Years Eve show!! Can't really rate the food as we didn't go for dinner but, great atmosphere and the owner and staff were exceptionally nice. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we are in the Monterey area.

Best ribs in town! Just a nice place to hang out, have a meal and enjoy great comedy acts.

Joint Chiefs Band were excellent. I was so happy that the club has such superior acts. The food is also fantastic. We enjoyed the ribs, catfish, cornbread and greens. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu!

My daughter and I ended up here and it was our first time! The food was homemade and it was wonderful! It brought back wonderful memories of how my mother-in-law used to cook. The barbecue sauce was amazing and so were the yams. The catfish was fresh and fried just right! Will definitely be coming back!

Deja Blue is our go-to spot for ribs and for live blues music. Darryl, the owner and bartender, is there to make this place absolutely marvelous. We spend Sunday afternoons there often. Don't miss this special place.

Just had great fried chicken and waffles at a mother's day all you can eat buffet ! And the moms got a free mimosa! Can't beat that

Attended this past Sunday to go & listen to Kaye Bohler for the first time. Wow 👏 what a show! Kaye & her band had the place rocking in their seats, dancing on their feet. Great atmosphere & food.

This place is the bomb! Ended up too early in Friday and too late on Sunday 😥 but I have been there before; the food is 1st rate and if you can get in when a great band is plying you definitely won't be disappointed!

Good food and friendly service. Ill be back.

Always Great to come back home to Seaside. It’s being made even better by having a Quality Live Performance Event hub in town. Deja Vu Nite Club presents elegant live, fun, energy with a welcoming Bay Area Jazz Soul Salsa Artist and DJ’s appeal. That might be laying it on a little thick… but… the place is “LIVE”. Go check it out.

Thursday night karaoke was great. The DJ had an impressive database and he had a pretty impressive voice. Please don't make the mistake that I did and drop the mic after your performance.

My very 1st time here I was absolutely impressed with the performances, the comedians kept you laughing, the ladies tried they best to provide excellent food and beverage service to the sold out crowd. Ps: parking maybe an issue I didn't rate the food because I didn't order any food, my drink, I couldn't tell it was Cranberry juice and malibu coconut rum! Not a slight taste of rum. However, I got home safe without incident.

Love the venue love the people really enjoyed myself! Hospitality was incredible and the music amazing. Am planning to have my CD release party here. Darryl and Leon made me feel right at home. Will definitely be back for the food...the catfish was impeccable and the jambalaya was to die for...thanks for sharing Darryl! Looking forward to performing at this wonderful venue. Thank you for hosting Lee Durley's 80th birthday...it was an amazing time ❤

Stopped in for lunch on a cold Thursday afternoon and had an amazing meal of true soul comfort food. Highly recommend it!

Love, love, love this place. Great for cozy nights out or early morning homestyle food. Love the staff and the owner. The entertainment is great every time I visit. A definite bucket list attraction.

I drove from SF to visit this place with my mother and the bartender whom is the owner was rude and customers stated that this is typical unsatisfactory customer service practices at this place . We waited over an hour to place an order for food. This is an African American owned business for which I strongly support but this was not a good first impression to experience. However, the jazz music was fantastic!! I am so sorry the owner felt the statements were so false when you admitted you plan to do better. I hope no one else will ever have to experience what I went through again!

This place is wonderful. Love the food and service. Definitely my "go to" spot in Monterey!!

Amazing soul food, and the nicest warmest people you could find!

Restaurant by day, club by night. This exudes everything you'd expect from a soul Food restaurant towing the line. There was no live music that night but there was karaoke and plenty of locals. I got the catfish dinner. It was well seasoned not overly salty like most battered in cornmeal tend to be. Greens were pork free but could have been hotter when they came out. Crab hush puppies were crispy on the outside, soft and chewy (but not undercooked) inside. The only complaint is concerning their lack of dipping sauces; ketchup, tartar, and hot sauce is all they had. I needed BBQ and cocktail sauce. They serve BBQ chicken and shrimp so I didn't understand how they didn't have a supply of these sauces or any sauces for their many different types of hush puppies.

Took my family.. kids loved the burgers and fries... I had the ribs greens n beans an rice.. real home cooking. Loved it!

If you want to have a really good time in a relaxing environment, with fresh home cooking, a refreshing cocktail, and some great entertainment, this is the place to be.

This was an awesome place for a good night out. The cocktails were delicious, the food was good, the service was great and the live music was awesome. The singer was hitting all the notes just perfectly. The pianist was making the notes sound magical and so were the drums and the base. Great music all around... I had the catfish with a few sides. I really wanted to try the jambalaya but they were not serving it that day. The catfish was good but I'm looking forward to going back for the jambalaya so will need to call in advance to make sure they are serving it that day. For sides we had collard greens, fried okra, black eye peas and the Mac N cheese. Overall the food was good. The staff was nice and the service was fast. If you are looking for a good time for food, drinks, and live music, this is the place for you. Will definitely come back.
