I was there for around two hours.. had my hookah going , had four drinks. Just vibing ( i was by myself too btw) and a guy was sitting right beside me he was alone too. Tell me why the a lady ( I'm guessing she was the owner) came up to me and say 'i just sold this table' so I'm bamboozled honestly because i been here since like 9pm when shit wasn't popping: then she says you can stand up at the bar , I'm sorry. I didn't want to stand up or be around hella ppl that's why i picked to sit at a table.. so i paid my tab and left. I spent like $80 for the hookah and drinks and left a small tip. I was honestly thrown off and mad so the tip reflected that. Although it wasn't the hookah girl fault. But i legit tracked to Charlotte to catch a vibe and this place threw me off. That was so rude . I get she was getting a bigger profit off of the table and it was more ppl but like damn? It's common courtesy.. it was fucked up in my opinion. When supporting black businesses goes wrong. Lol i definitely won't be back...

Since one of my favorite hookah lounges closed I resorted to coming here. I will first start by…read moresaying the hookah is decent and a decent price. They have great flavors and have more than one option for the head of the hookah. The service is 1 out of 10 for me. They do not check on their customers. the ambiance is very lackluster. Especially with two new men who both wear glasses who are there most of the time now they are very rude and I'm not sure if they are related to the owners and that's why they act like they don't care. either way they are not pleasant people. One thing I also would like to point out is that this spot will never open up when it says online. You will be waiting outside for a VERY long time until they open. If I was running this establishment I would be try my best to turn this around. Having ppl wait outside and leave because it is not open at the time it says on line is completely asinine and embarassing as a business owner. I was going to reccomend this place to a friend who does reviews on lounges and restaurants in charlotte. But that would not be favorable to this establishment.

If you know your way around Charlotte nightlife, then you know Babylon is the go-to place at 2 am…read morewhen everything closes. I'll explain. Babylon is a hookah lounge and does not serve any alcohol. It is however, open until 4 am. So everyone comes to Babylon when clubs/bars close. For this reason, it gets PACKED after 1 am or so. Dont get me wrong, the venue in itself is pretty large. The hookahs are actually pretty good and there is usually plenty of parking here. The DJ is for the most part always good, playing top 40 hits, Hip Hop, Trap, Dembow, Bachata, Reggae, Reggaeton. People will absolutely be dancing here. Now, things to keep in mind: 1. This is not a classy venue. You are sure to run into drunken folks every weekend. It gets VERY crowded. This place is not for the "bougie" or "fancy" folks. If you're not into rowdiness, this isn't the place for you. 2. NO ALCOHOL is sold here. Just water/cold beverages. 3. Keep an open mind, this place is perfect for the group of friends who isn't ready to call it a night at 2 am. So drink the last of your drinks at whatever bar or club you're at and head to Babylon to dance all the drinks out of your system. Dress code isn't a big deal, whether you're in your sexiest club dress or jeans and a top, what matters is the vibes you bring in here.

Once you get in line, the bouncer checks your ID and one of the young ladies brings you over to your table. I can't speak for the experience outside of that so not sure what the drinks were like, nor the bartender or even the bathroom as I didn't leave the VIP area but overall, it was decent.

On Monday, my bill for 4 drinks, 2 catfish brunch specials, and hookah came out to $54. The customer service is just middle of the road--not outstanding, but not terrible.

Service was a little off but our server, Asia, was kind. Here's the "off" part. It took a while to get waters, we got our side but no small plates right away. There was no silver ware when the food came. Also, adding coffee would be a great add for a brunch spot. The food was good overall. I had salmon and grits. Friends had whiting and grits. My friend felt the grits came out just warm. My salmon was cooked great and was flavorful. I like the Cajun sauce but it thickened as it cooled. The collard greens dip was the best part though I wish it had more greens in it. The collard greens as a side were not good at all. They tasted more like canned Glory collards. I'd go back and give it another go.

I ordered the Bananas Foster waffle with chicken tenders and whew...absolutely delicious. Sweet, warm, indulgent and exactly the kind of comfort food my spirit needed. My brother-in-love couldn't stop talking about his Bananas Foster pancakes with country ham -- though he did lobby for a slightly bigger serving of the ham. And my SO completely cleaned his plate of liver mush, grits, eggs and biscuit - he never does that. He also had a passion fruit margarita that he raved about the entire ride home. Honestly, taking care of me right now is a full-time job, so I fully support the brunch cocktail. What I loved most? Wakey Wakey isn't trying to be fancy or pretentious. It's just good people serving good food in a welcoming atmosphere -- and that's exactly what I needed!
