R&J’s Lounge and Supper Club has been one of my go-to spots in midtown for a while now. The second you walk in, the warm lighting, retro décor, and classic lounge music make you feel like you stepped into another era. It’s cozy without feeling cramped, with a mix of bar seating, intimate tables, and a patio that’s perfect when the weather’s nice. The crowd is always a comfortable blend of regulars and newcomers, and the staff makes you feel like they have known you for years.
I almost always start with the Eastside Chicken, but I like to get the Tabasco honey glaze on the side so I can dip. It’s perfect on its own, but the glaze takes it to another level. The truffle fries are another favorite, perfectly seasoned and rich without being too heavy. And when I’m in the mood for comfort food, the spaghetti is my go-to. It’s hearty, flavorful, and always served just right.
Whenever friends come to town, we have to hit this spot. I have crossed paths with a few well-known faces here, which is always interesting, but what I like most is that everyone just enjoys the space without any fuss. They also have an amazing guy at the door with a great smile. Very inviting and welcoming. They call him Chris Mitch. Friendliest guy in the world, but make no mistake… if you can’t act right, he will put you in check. Great food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. That’s why I keep coming back.
