Boogalou Restaurant & Lounge

This place was AMAZING!!!!! Food was great, good music and vibes! Only complaint is make sure you tell the waiteress what type of tequila you want because if not they will charge you top shelf & you wont know until the bill comes! But the drinks were good!

Food was good, service was mediocre to say the least. One thing that is really alarming to me is the 18% “service charge”. Normally that would be the tip BUT the waitress advised me that ownership keeps 40% for operational cost and we are expected to tip more?!? There’s even a paragraph at the bottom of the receipt that says so LOL. Never in my life have a heard of something so ghetto and stupid. The money you’ve made on food, parking, hookah and drinks should cover “operations” NOT the tips we leave for the wait staff. Needless to say the waitress shoved the handheld in my face and explained to me that the tip didn’t go all to them. I ended up tipping 38% of the bill. Black owned businesses need to do better! If you need to take from your wait staff to cover business expenses SHUT DOWN!

Eh, I'm not impressed for a Saturday day brunch. To start, the parking options sucks! They're literally charging $20 valet to park right in front of the restaurant, or you have to find street parking, which is also limited. I ordered the waffles, which taste like frozen store bought. I hated the fact that the tables were so close that you might as well join in on the conversations and share food with the guest next to you. Also, not everyone enjoys having hookahs blown in their face...I feel like there should be a separate area for that. The service was good...well at least our waitress was. The food was ok, nothing special but definitely over priced for the taste. Lastly, please renovate the swings at the bar...its just not a good look. They are torn and worn out. Not a list of places I'll revisit.

Came on a Wednesday night for my hubby birthday and it was a whole vibe…but more importantly Chef Rob did his damn thing!!! The crab leg boil was so good!!! Most definitely will come back.

Celebrated my wife's birthday last weekend, got a section, and everything was AMAZING!! Thank you to our server, Jessie, for being so attentive and treating us like VIPs. Entire experience and food was 10 out of 10. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back very soon.

Overall great place to visit. This was my second time coming for brunch, and i have not been disappointed. Service was great, food was great, and the ambiance puts the icing on the cake. The swing seats at the bar made this experience even more enjoyable. The bartender staff was great! Shoutout Jill she took care of us and was very attentive. If you’re into hookahs and unlimited mimosas ,this is your place to go. Great music, and was able to enjoy the football game. Can’t forget about the fried whole red snapper and grits🔥🔥🔥 Highly recommend.

Called at 9:18 and was quoted incorrectly for hookah. The receipt says weekday hookah but it’s Sunday. Passed other places to come here. Forced to valet 3 ft from door is where they parked me. Bartenders more focused on smoking hookah and talking to security vs being attentive. May try another hookah spot vs this one next time I’m in town.

My niece celebrated her 31st birthday here. They have very limited parking, if you can find street parking use the parking meter machine. Someone issued me a parking ticket. 😒 I used information on the posted sign, disputing now. Their parking is $20. We had reservations at 8p. They sat us quickly. Dj was decent, he did a great job hyping up the birthday girls. They are very expensive! Hookah was $45 and the hookah girl could only take tap payments. Hubby ordered one drink, it was only a half a cup for $18!!! Still mad. The Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls were dry, Meat not seasoned. Shrimp was good, everything else was just okay. They give you ice water and cups for free. The swings at the bar are really cute. Their site says there's a dress code but we saw tons of women and men that didn't have to comply with it. They need to remove it if they aren't going to inforce it. They add 18% gratuity. Feels more like a club than a restaurant. I won't go back but my niece and some of her freinds liked it.

We drove from Alabama just for a day trip. We entered right when they opened so the full staff was not there the hostess jumped in and the boss KC came out to greet us. It's the small things that make the experience great. The drinks-10 The food-10 The service-10 The DJ -10 The ambiance-10 The Hookah-10 We will for sure be coming back Ordered: strawberry lemon drops, chicken wings with gumbo greens and macaroni AMAZING

The vibe was so lit, the swings was a plus for me. We had only a hookah and it was good. We ordered THE BIGGEST. It was my.first time.in there, and I am.really thinking about having my 50th birthday there. The waitress was attentive and made sure we were good.

Service on Sunday Labor Day weekend horrible! Food NEVER came.. They sent our food to other tables. Our waitress played on her phone instead of bringing food. We had to ask for silverware. Do not bother for brunch!

This was a cute lounge with good music and yummy food. I had a great time catching up with friends while I'm visiting the city for the first time. The servers were attentive and friendly. The only reason I took away a star is because I don't understand why the half naked bottle girls are necessary. Lol. It genuinely feels like a relaxed lounge, not so much a hype club. From the layout of the club to the hanging chairs, the servers' attire just felt out of place. Lol. But I'm learning this is a very Atlanta thing. Everywhere there's a hookah, you can see some @$$. Not knocking it, but it just didn't seem to fit the theme here, but could just be me.

When I tell you I had the best fried red snapper I have ever had!!!! It was absolutely delicious! Drinks were amazing and I have to give it to the bartender, Coco, she was the best. The other two bartenders had a bit of an attitude but she was attentive, personable and had a great attitude. The hookah was meh... I think they need to service the coals much more often. We had to ask a few times to have the coals changed out. Other than that, great place!

3 words- THE FRIED CATFISH!! I went here for brunch with a group of 6 friends and we had a great time, I do recommend making reservations ahead of time. Once seated we were told there was a max time that we could occupy our table. I believe it was 2 hours. However, I know for a fact we were there longer than that and we never once felt rushed. The DJ was great, our server was attentive- at times it could be slow but it was a very busy day so we understood. One of my friends ordered a hookah that she said was nice, and we all enjoyed our drinks. We also ordered the mimosa tower and it was great four our group size. But back to the main attraction, that catfish. It was fried to perfection! 10/10 for me. I'd go back for that alone.

Loud music, semi-slow service. Good for a celebration though especially if you plan on getting intoxicated. Their mimosa tower deal is pretty good with only $20 per person but everyone at the table has to have it/agree to at least pay the $20 for it. The French toast sticks were good, sweet, and able to eaten without syrup which was a plus. The eggs were nice and soft but do ask for some salt and pepper cause they're a little bland without it. The hash was the highlight of the plate and I was definitely a fan of that. Overall, pretty decent food for a lounge so they get a plus for that. The service could be better but that's expected for places like this!

I really like this place. We came here twice once on Friday & again Sunday. We ended up leaving Friday b/c everything we wanted they were out of it. So we decided to come back on a Sunday before our flight. We waited about 45 mins for our food. Everything was good but the spinach was very salty. The catfish I highly recommend was cooked perfectly.

This restaurant is large group friendly. We had a party of about 15 people during brunch service and we were quickly accommodated once everyone arrived. We did bottomless mimosas which came with three carafes of juice, orange, pineapple, and cranberry. The champagne was brought out in a large tower and was super cute. It took a while for the food to arrive but the mimosas kept us busy. My plate was decent but I chose a pretty simple dish. Others in my party were very satisfied with their food choice. Keep in mind that this place is a "lit brunch"'experience. It was perfect for celebrating my friend's birthday! Overall I enjoyed and will return.

Decent if you want a place to chill and listen to music. Food, service and environment is decent. Better for the younger crowd.

Service was slow at 1st but the food was great and we were had a great time. The music was great... and they kept the drinks flowing.

Randomly went here the other night and it was so turnt up lol. The drink prices are decent. $30 for 2 drinks but the gratuity is included and that's annoying but to be expected from Atlanta establishments. The place is super cute with swings that are super picture worthy and the service was good for it to have been as crowded as it was. I didn't try the food but it looked like typical wings and things to that nature. It was free for ladies and it didn't take long to get in. Parking sucks here tho so we paid for valet which was about $30. The music was good and the vibe was nice.

We really had a good time here. Good music & food! I love the swings around the bar & the waitresses were very attentive!

Not sure what happened before we got there but it was a hot all mess. We came on a Sunday night. Got bottle service, 2 bottles for $700 + paid a $50 entry fee (do not recommend getting bottle service from here) and they sat us at a dirty ass table. The entire backside of the venue had hella chicken bones, glass from broken cups, ice, water, and napkins all over the floor. Was they throwing down in here earlier? It looked like a disaster. Instant turn off. And we was over dressed. This is a place you come to in your regular clothes. We was dressed for the club while everyone else looked like they just came from a bbq. The swing seats at the bar is cute af tho! Definitely a photo opt moment... but seats will fill up fast. The night we came they was playing nothing but R&B which is cool if that's the vibe you're on. The guy on the mic was singing along and let other people along on the mic. By midnight the party was shut down. We still don't know why but I do know we spent all that money to be there for an hour. If that's a usual end time for a Sunday night then they shouldn't have even let us do bottle service. And the bottle service girls were dry af. Won't catch me here again.

Boogaloo's was great. I have a problem with the valet service they use called Royal parking. My cousin met us there not even an hour later when I paid $20 they wanted to charge him $30 saying it's later and it's crowded in there and it wasn't at all. Do not patronize Royal Parking... PERIOD.....

Me and my Twin came here to celebrate the last day of Cancer Season during our Atlanta trip and it was a vibe. Servers were all very friendly. The ambience was nice as well. There were swings at the bar, nice lighting, and banquettes. We had a tropical hookah which was hittin. Wings were really good as well.

Stopped into ATL for a quick moment with my friends because one of us is engaged to be married. So we made a RSVP for this place and decided to come. At first I thought it was gonna be a whole bunch of Twerking but I realize now it's more of a calmer vibe. Good music playing along with some decent quality food. Service was also pretty decent as well, everything that we requested was done and even tho my friends food came late at least it was still given. Saddest part is that I forgot to take a picture of my own food which was the lamb chops and that was delicious along with the potato's and scrambled eggs that assisted the meal. Good vibes and good fun. I would return.

The fried food was a big no for me. Everything else was a vibe. Went on a Friday night with some friends. Space was very spacious, its known for it swings at the bar. Overall this was a good spot to meet people, watch a game, hookah and a great pour of drinks.

Ambiance was cool, was seated right away on a Thursday. Food was the late night menu and everything was decent aside from the pigeon wings they try to pass off as chicken wings. Would go back but won't order the wings.

Straight Trash ! Had just left music festival and yelped restaurants it was close so walked over. First hint was when they charged a $20 cover. So paid went in found a hostess and asked about seating was informed it was bottle service only for a dinner table. Went to the bar sat at what looked to be swings asked for a menu and was told Kitchen wasn't serving, at this point went and left asked about getting the $20 back that the 3 of us spent and was told no! Do not PATRONIZE!

If we're being honest... the vibes, music, and our server are the only things saving this review from being a 1 star. The food was served extremely late from the time of ordering, and not everyone in our party was served at the same time. The other end of the table was almost finished by the time I got my food. On top of that, we weren't told a food item was no longer available until after the fact. I had high hopes for this place given the other reviews, maybe we need to come on a different day. Thank you again Kasshe for having such a positive and friendly attitude while serving us! If we come back, definitely want to see you again.

Always a great experience..when you really want to vibe and have some fun this is the spot to come!

I used to come here frequently for brunch so when some friends were visiting & wanted an Atl vibe along with brunch I suggested we come here. We got here around 2:40 & they informed us brunch was over & they weren't letting people back in until 4p. We left & came back. It was free for ladies which is great because there were more of them & $20 for guys. This part no issue. Where the issue lies is when we asked for a seat they informed us it would be $315 for us to sit down. This would have been good to know before walking into this establishment. I see now why the people in front of us left have talking to the host. Likely will not support in the future. Suggest asking at the door the requirements before entering

Came in on Thursday. It was R&B/ladies night. We arrived around 10:30pm. Of course for ladies night, there was no cover for entry. We sat at the large bar where every seat is a swing (so cute). The bartender was very attentive. She suggested a tequila lemon drop with 1800, so we ordered two. Loved them & Would recommend. The music was good. Everyone was singing along, but no dancing. We stayed until close (about 12/1am) and it remained pretty empty and only ladies in attendance. The guys that were there were in dates. It's dimly lit and a good place for date drinks. They have valet parking, and street parking. Food is available, but we didn't order any. The girls nearby seemed to have enjoyed their food though.

My gf and I experienced two men sexually harassing us while enjoying a nice evening at boogalou! Not to go too far into details, let's just say from the bar tender (tori) to the kitchen staff (orange hat guy (Gino)) to the owner they were not having it when it comes to sexual discrimination!!! The owner made sure we were safe by escorting the men out! We shouldn't be harassed because of our sexuality!! I highly recommend this establishment! Kacey (the owner) made sure that we were good especially since we come often!! The management is 10/10!!!! Emanuel (security) was so patient and caring. He really looked out for us as if we were his sisters!! Protect black women at all cost!

My first time visiting and I came on a Sunday for brunch. It was very crowded with no social distancing. This made me very anxious. No table was 6ft apart and just about every seat was taken at the bar. Luckily no one was seated next to my table. Brunch line was long and took forever to get food. Some of the options weren't available. Replenishment was super slow. There were 2 servers server the food. They had on masks and gloves. I was happy to see this. I thought the food was just ok. Not $50 worth. They had a DJ and the atmosphere was fun. It would've been great if it wasn't for covid. I wouldn't return for brunch. I may try them again during the week for cook to order food. If you want to practice social distancing, don't come here!

Waitress was very nice and did what she could. But I would not recommend this establishment. We waited 2 hours on the food as there was 1 cook. We came for a birthday party of about 15 individuals and they could not accommodate comfortably. The waitress was very nice and helpful, but this establishment as a whole is a disaster. There is dust everywhere and it is not clean. We were offered no accommodations and still had to pay. Please stay clear of this establishment and only come for drinks and not food. The champagne was flat, so I wouldn't even recipe t the bottomless mimosas tbh

Not gonna lie....it's a little overrated. I'll preface this with saying I am a fan of a more live and fun environment with a heavy dash of class and I could have went on a day when it was more "dress to impress and not ruin my makeup" with a dash or ratchet type of vibe. Lol We had to wait a bit for seating but were first priority when a spot became available. We sat down as the bar tender was cleaning but she was swift and attentive all at the same time. The drinks took some time to get to us and we in fact almost left. But they were worth the wait! Nevertheless we ordered our food and let them know we were waiting on a third. Unfortunately, it seemed that they made the first orders and had them to the side until the third order was put in. What that meant was the 2 first orders were brought out COLD! With that being said the chicken and waffles were underwhelming. All in all the dj was cool and the bartenders/servers were a whole vibe. Might try again

42 minutes. 42 minutes is about the time a teacher can lead their class in a few rounds of Telephone to fill any extra time. 42 minutes is the amount of time you can get in a good workout to make yourself believe you're a new person (after not working out during most of COVID). It's the time it takes to get from DCA to BWI airports (at least if you drive like me). 42 minutes. It's also the time it took for our server to visit our table. So if you have a little extra time to waste, go ahead and stop by Boogalou. The good thing is that you're going to get strong mimosas, which is a nice brunch win (and arguably the only win you're going to get here). But if you're looking for timely service + good food, either manage your expectations going in or go elsewhere. Let's talk a little about the food. I even took a picture this time. Something told me to memorialize this experience. My Line Brother ordered the red velvet waffles and chicken. He said the waffles were super dry, and the chicken just "wasn't bad." I mean, we're in Atlanta; you have to work super hard to mess up fried chicken. And I ordered the red snapper and grits. The red snapper was good but I want you all to pay attention to the grits. Nice colors--but onlyyyyyy because random slices of uncooked bell peppers were added on top. And the grits weren't anything to write home about; I didn't even finish them. I will shoutout the host though--because after us waiting an initial 20 minutes, she did jump in and come take our order. So by time we were seen by our server, we'd placed our orders and received our drinks and our food all at that 42-43 minute mark. 42 minutes.

Went here on a Friday night for the happy hour and this place is lit..the dj was playin great songs all day..I had the chicken tenders which was good..the bartender(shout out to COCO)makes great margaritas..and she is cool and professional..the whole place is great when I come back to the ATL I will be back!

I really enjoy this restaurant and lounge. If you're ever in the ATL area is a must visit. It is literally one stop shop...food, drinks, hookah, swings (my favorite, and great music. All of the servers are amazing and so accommodating. They make you feel like you're part of their family and really know how to have a good time. The wings are so good...my cousin had the sweet & spicy wings while I indulged with the lemon pepper. Everything we ordered came out in a timely manner also.

Coco is the best bartender, Kash is the best host, and Rissa is the best server! We go every 3 weeks. Get the chicken wings! You're welcome in advance. The atmosphere is everything you look for in a great day party.

Not a safe place for women or really anyone to be. The employees are rude, management is a joke. If you are looking for a good time this is DEFINITELY not the place. I honestly don't even know how they are still open.

Cool vibe, decent DJ Just has to be on the right night and it's been awhile since I had any of their food. The place is cool with a mixed aged group scene. Definitely worth checking out!

HostessServerManger If you have a certain price posted on social media, you should grant that price to your customers. When questioned about it, there shouldn't be an attitude given. I hate the way management basically said "what I posted is what it is" in a very disrespectful way. I've been here a few times but this would be the last. I came trying to celebrate my cousin's birthday & was willing to purchase a bottle that was listed as a promo, but was being charged higher price by the rude manager. Please don't spend your money where management lie on prices. Spend it else where.

I really enjoyed my time here and the lamb chops were delicious ....the hookah service was just ok they never checked our coals and the music and ambiance good as well ...... I didn't care for the Mac and cheese greens were so so .... Our bartenders were ok .

Visited on a Saturday around 1pm for brunch with friends. We had a reservation and I'd recommend getting one if you're interested. Parking is either valet or there is free retail parking on the street next to the restaurant. There's also a ton of cool spots on the same road, so I recommend taking a stroll if you stop by! We were seated immediately. It was slightly crowded but we were comfortably seated. My one issue with this spot was the service. Our waitress didn't know she was our waitress so we waited 20 minutes until we finally got to spoke to someone about it. Therefore after, she rarely checked on us. Besides that, everything else about this spot was great. I ordered the pitcher of mimosa which was a great deal. I had the chicken and waffles for my meal and it was delicious and so flavorful. Highly recommend. Also the atmosphere of this place is so fun and just a vibe. You'll want to take allll the instagram photos. Definitely stop in if you can!

This is a late post but I went back in October 2020. Firstly I hated the $20 cover charge to eat at the restaurant. But what I will say is my food was absolutely amazing. I ate everything down to the bone! My lamb chops were to die for! The food was really A1. Oh and the chairs are cute for a little photo ops

2/10 wouldn't recommend. Ain't gonna make this long, just one question If ladies get free hookah on Tuesdays, and as I guy I'm paying...then why in TF is my hookah not coming out first I know the Atlanta Business Model really don't care bout opinions, but got damn can we get some kinda upgrade in customer service. But food is good, music good, vibes good

Food was bomb! & the service was amazing from Jalen! The ambiance was the vibe we were looking for! The DJ was lit. My cousin turned 21 and picked ATL as her destination and so far it has not been disappointed. The drinks were bombbbbb! Jalen did his big one! Thank you for an amazing time!

This is a must definite visit. Their food was so good (minus grits- disappointed) and their drinks hit the spot, get the pitcher. The staff and atmosphere was on point. The music was ok wish it was more something that I could vibe with but definitely a positive experience

Visiting from Philly for my sis in law birthday. We went to the Saturday brunch and it was such a vibe! Food was so good. Service was great. The dj was all that lol. The decor needs a lil updating but it wasn't so bad. We order bottomless pineapple mimosas and they was soooo tasty. The blueberry mint hookah was good as well. We ordered the breakfast plate(eggs, chicken sausage, hash and French toast), seafood omelet and grits and the salmon and grits with a side of biscuits. Everything came out hot and tasted amazing. We also ordered the cheesecake. I would give it 5 stars but the bathroom was a lil messy(a roll of wet paper towels on the sink and the toilet paper was on the back of the toilet in one bathroom) I suggest you go here and experience everything for yourself. I will definitely be back.

It's a vibe!! I went with 2 friends and we had a great time. Tried out the brunch, the food was good. I had the garden omelette, it didn't disappoint. The French toast was okay. But my friends enjoyed their food. Catfish plate and catfish and grits from the Brunch menu. The staff was very enthusiastic and entertaining. Didn't get a chance to try the hookah but they looked pretty good. I would recommend and definitely will be going back!

Ok I'm guilty, I only came here for the swing seats at the bar! lol When I got there is was packeddddddd. The music was good and so were the drinks, but unless you get there early enough to get a swing seat or pay $500 to sit at one of their booths you just gon be standing around. Also there's not much parking so either be prepared to valet and pay $30 or park on the street and walk. Their valet service is ghetto as hell but it served it's purpose. Will I be returning? maybe if i'm drunk enough...

I had an amazing time. I went on Thursday night and the vibe was sexy. The aesthetic looked so good. The swings are perfect place to take pictures. I wished the DJ played better music, but maybe I went on and R&B night. This place is excellent for dates, birthdays, groups, women, men, solo. I enjoyed the vibe and the music. I will definitely go again.

Update: Someone close to me got really sick the next day, we got home and they tested positive for COVID. Please be careful going to this place at night. Not for me! I had friend post some pics here about a month ago obviously they came during the brunch or something. We pull up the valet tell my wife its $40 for parking and $20 per person. We pull off saw there was parking for $15 but found free parking on the street. We get in line its free for women and $40 for men. The place is super small, no where to stand the crew kept telling us we couldn't stand around but its no where to go! If you want a table that's $1200!! We just wanted some food. Let's not discuss COVID protocols. I understand ATL don't care but you know its way too many people y'all letting in there at one time. We went down the street to JR Crickets and received exceptional service.

Pony was our server and she was very friendly and nice. Made some great recommendations! The food was good I just wanted my eggs for the omelette to a little softer. The music was a great (club style).

A must visit when in Atlanta. If your looking for a good brunch spot with vibes this is the place. Nice ambiance on the walking. Food was delicious and portions where good. Took a little long for the food to come out but it was worth it. Hookah was ok.

Music and vibe is totally on point. Dj going play every hit. Hookah blue mist is my favorite!! I enjoyed my birthday.
