Nipsey's Restaurant & Lounge

Wonderful experience at a fairly new restaurant and lounge modeled after a fictional bar on the Martin Lawrence Show. Beautiful atmosphere on the inside. One side is a lounge area and the other is dine in eating. Its not a large eating area, so you must make reservations. I went here for my birthday this year and really enjoyed it...especially the food, the service and my drink (Damn Gina!) Our table was really impressed with the pizza..the ones pictured below were really affordable and tasty. I had the lamb (not pictured) and it was seasoned just right. The service was thoughtful and attentive. They had a DJ that night that was awesome as well.

I spend $22.65 for this catfish dinner which was originally priced at $16.00 and a mandatory tip of $4 was charged to my bill with added taxes making it $22.65, I'm not happy that I wasn't informed about this prior to ordering. the portions were too small for that price and the food did not have a good quality taste.The fish was small and not seasoned well at all, the greens tasted like it was out of a can, the cornbread was dry and wasn't all that good and the Mac and cheese was bland with no flavor. I will not be returning to this establishment, the waiter did not even remember to bring another glass of water or and condiments I asked for until I was done with my meal. The service was not worth the extra $4 surcharge added to my bill. This does not hold the waiters responsible to provide good service to the customers!

The picture is of the fried green tomatoes and the fried cauliflower. I was a tad disappointed because I feel like the oil of the fried green tomatoes it was a bit stale. The presentation looks lovely but the taste of the oil was too much. I really think I would probably just come back here for the drinks which were good but not necessarily for appetizers.

Nipsey's is a much needed upscale lounge in the south side. The staff is friendly and very efficient. The place has a downtown feel with downtown drink prices, so don't be too shock considering there was no cover fee. The food looks amazing although I didn't order anything. The place had a great vibe and the music was decent. Overall I definitely would go back and try something on the menu. I hear Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday is the best time to go if you like a larger crowd...

Great food!! The handsome guy with the beard best bartender ever!! Drinks on point, comfortable atmosphere. We just went to watch the game.

Loved it the food drinks decor service Bartender (laron) was cute and made a great margarita

The food was good but not enough for the price. They also charge an additional service charge of 25% for your bill if you are dining in that does not go to your server. My bill went from $50 to 60 due to the service charge that they do not tell you about until your bill come. And then you still want to add a tip too. I just paid for a longhorn steakhouse meal. My server was great even though it was her first day. I still tipped her because she tried to make our dinner enjoyable.

The vibe at night was everything. However, when you order bottle service for the minimum of $250 you only get one chaser. So if you want water that's your chaser you get no juice. Most places bring two juices and water if you ask. If you want water it's $5 for the kids size bottle of water. Loved the bottle girl show when she brought out the bottle. The food was pretty good loaded fries and wings. Once we ordered the bottle girls pretty much disappeared for the night to other places. Not one time coming back to ask did we need anything else. Cause we sure would've cause we were hungry and thirsty again because we ordered that kinda early in the night. Overall great spot. Will be back. I hope they offer juice and water with the bottle service next time.
