    Bottomless mimosas and blood marys
    Leslie T.

    Lips is always a fun time for drag brunch. We come here at least once a year for a friends birthday. The talent never disappoints. Funny host, amazing dances and lip singing. The ambiance is great, lights are dim for most of the show until the end. Food was really good. So many new items on the menu from last year, they start with pastry baskets and pitchers of bottomless mimosas...because the more you drink the prettier the ladies get (there words....not mine..lol). You can also get botomless bloddy marys. The food selection was a long list so there should be something for everyone. They do make change for you for tipping and, there is an ATM in the building. Definitely check them out.

    We had a blast here celebrating a 40th birthday. Our group was given a table for the show, and the food was delicious. The Queens were hilarious and it was a great way to celebrate.

    If you want a great night out, go to Lips. You won't be disappointed! Location and Parking Located on Buford Highway, Lips has plenty of free parking. My spouse and I went on a Thursday, but on the weekends I imagine it gets pretty packed and you might need to park somewhere nearby. Venue and Atmosphere It looks exactly as you'd expect a drag venue to look: bright decor, campy props, and lots of glitter everywhere. There is plenty of seating for large and small parties, and bathrooms are clean. Service The staff are all in drag, except for the bus boys and the bartender. The queens put on a fabulous show. Our host, Brigitte Bidet, kept us laughing with her witty jokes and epic performances. Out waitress, Ivana, was gorgeous and very talented. The queens will take your order between performances, and your drinks will never run dry. A 20% gratuity is added to all orders, but don't forget to tip with singles for a great show! Food and Beverages The $5 peach margarita was tasty, but it'll knock you flat if you're not careful. The food was decent. Nothing to write home about, but my fried chicken was well fried and seasoned, and the mashed potatoes weren't from a box. My spouse had the fried catfish and grits; the fish was seasoned and fried well, but the étouffée and grits lacked any and all flavor. Bottom line: you're here for the entertainment, and drinks, not the food. Verdict My spouse and I were looking for something different to do for date night, and we enjoyed ourselves!

    I went here for a friend's birthday and had a time. Upon entrance, we were given mimosas and greeted with all smiles. The decor was different, but well put together. On to time the food. I had an omelette, my friend had shrimp and grits, and someone else in the party had the pancakes. I enjoyed my omelette, which came with potatoes. It was well seasoned. My friend did not care for her shrimp and grits. She said it was a bit try and lacked flavor. I was told that the pancakes were amazing. They looked really good too. Let's talk about the show for a bit. The host was hilarious and did a great job. Each performer had a unique performance. They seemed to enjoy what they do and aimed to please the crowd. There was a birthday segment and a dance off as well. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would go back if I was invited to go.

    New Year's Eve table at LIPS Atl!

    The best dinner theater in Atlanta! Amazing steak and salmon dinner. Spent New Year's Eve at the Atl Lips, and such a great experience. Full of birthday and bachelorette parties. Great service. Highly recommend.

    Had a fab time here to celebrate my friends birthday! Came for a Saturday brunch show and immediately were sat. You get a choice of lunch/brunch entrees for $42 each with unlimited mimosas or bloody Mary's. Really enjoyed ourselves and the entertainment was awesome! Recommend getting there early as parking filled up quick. Def recommend if you are in the area and want some fun entertainment!

    The food was good. The atmosphere was super exciting. We were there to celebrate a birthday, and the food, drinks, and show didn't disappoint.

    Run, don't walk, for your next Girl's Day. Food was amazing. Entertainment is top tier. Audience participation 10/10. We had the best time. Went for Saturday brunch and we weren't expecting much, food wise. Imagine our surprise at how fresh and delicious everything was. It's loud, so don't go if you aren't willing to let loose. Can't wait to go back.

    When my best friend said that she wanted to go to a drag brunch during her bachelorette party I knew I had to ask around to find the best one in the area. Everybody I know who lives in ATL told me that Lips was thee place to go, and they were all right! I booked the bachelorette party special which came with a crown from the bachelorette and a special shot to share on stage with the host. What I love about this place is that all the employees I saw were drag queens. They were both the servers and the performers, and I love that patronizing here means supporting a fully LGBTQ+ staff. The brunch was pretty good, not the best I ever had, but pretty tasty when compared to other Drag Brunch venues I've been to in the past. The show itself was entertaining, the girls were on it during every number, and the host, the legendary Charlie Brown was a Riot from start to end. My best friend also got a moment on stage to announce her engagement before taking her shot and she had the time of her life! I'm so glad we were able to see Charlie Brown's brilliance on stage in person before she passed away this year. All in all, Lips really lived up to the hype of being the best spot for Drag Brunch in ATL.

    The vibes are pretty awesome, I will say the food was very disappointing. We celebrated a bachelorette here and they added an extra charge for that which I thought was strange. A good place to come but i don't think I'll come again.

    I was in Atlanta for a girls weekend, and wrapping it up with a drag brunch sounded fun. I was impressed with how great of an experience this was. Had an 11:30 reservation, got there 15 minutes prior, just in time for the doors to open. We were quick to go in, and they had mimosas ready as we walked in on the way to our table. Food was pretty good, I had the crab cake benedict, which seemed to have been sitting for some time but was still very tasty. My friends had the chicken and waffles, and the french toast, and raved about it. Mimosas and bloody marys kept coming, and we had plenty of water the whole time. We were celebrating a birthday, which was acknowledged, and my friend even got a little cake and picture up front. The venue is beautiful, and the artists were amazing. Oh, and if you forgot to get change, they have plenty of singles to cover you prior to the show. Looking forward to going back next time I visit Atlanta.

    The experience was phenomenal. I've lived here my whole life, and I can't believe it took this long to go. The food wasn't too terrible. It was pretty good to my surprise. For places like this, I expected the show to be the shining moment with food being the extra. I ordered the southern fried catfish. The fried catfish was, well, fried. Most fried things taste the same, but this version was good. The batter on the fish was super thin so at least I was able to taste the fish and not so so much thick batter. It was tasty overall. The crawfish and shrimp etouffee definitely added nice flavors over the white grits. The textures and flavor profile of this pick was satisfactory in my stomach. :) Our server was great. She had a great attitude and always a smile on. So of course tip her when she's lip synching for ya! Lips also does a nice on stage shout out for birthday ladies and gents. There's also the bachelorettes. Oh. There was also a new divorced lady with all smiles and proud of it! You go girl! The only thing I didn't like is how you can't split the check. Not great with a party of like 20 people ordering random things. Parking wasn't too terrible, but I think with a place like this and the crowd, car pooling is a better option. Lips had a spectacular vibe. It was truly a no judgement zone.

    Ask the Community - Lips - Atlanta

    Do Lips take Apple Pay?

    No, they do not. I double checked.

    Please answer the phone? You are open and I've been trying to call for hours to change my reservation.

    I called at least 20xs before I got an answer from them also.

    What is the best way make a reservation? I've tried calling the phone number listed on their website and Facebook and left messages, but I have not heard anything back. Planning on a Sat night. Should we just show up? Would we still get a table?

    lipsatlreservations@gmail

    Can you pay for the show/dinner ahead of time?

    Regrettably you cannot

    Can we attend without paying for the dinner show package?

    No it is a full package deal with dinner or brunch.

    Is there convenient parking? How much is parking?

    Free parking. I went in a Sunday and parked next door at the bank.

    I'm confused - if We go to a Thursday night show and it says $30 for dinner and show - do I also have to pay a minimum amount? Isn't everything included other than the tip? Is there a cover fee? I don't see anything listed about that on the website?

    The $30 is for the meal and show, however it does not include tax or gratuity. They only accept a certain number of cards per table, possibly two...so don't go assuming they can split the tab. But there is no cover charge.

    I see that they combine checks per table...so is it not per party? If I am a party of 2, do I get a table for 2 or am I sitting with a bunch of strangers at a large table and the check is combined per table? I'm confused.

    You get your own table, but the tables are pushed together in long rows, and your bill is just for your party of people.

    Is there an age minimum to get in?

    16 and up for the earlier shows, 18+ for the 9pm shows, 21+ for the late show. Info found here https://www.lipsatl.com/reservations

    What age do you need to be to get in?

    16 and up for the earlier shows, 18+ for the 9pm shows, 21+ for the late show. Info found here https://www.lipsatl.com/reservations

    Do you have to tip the performers?

    Tipping for good service and appreciation is always welcomed. Not mandatory but appreciated.

    How old do you have to be to get in? Is it 18+?

    It's best to be of legal age. There's lots of alcohol and the jokes are not PG.

    Do you have to eat here to see a show or can you just pay to watch the show?

    There is a minimum you have to spend in addition to the cost of seeing the show, I didn't want to eat but I ordered food just to help with the minimum.

    Do you have to bring ones for tipping?

    Yes but they will also give you change

    Whats the best night to go to lips? Please start answer with day of the week and then tell why.

    Friday and Saturday Nights are the Best! These are their glitz and glam nights...THANK ME LATER

It came with a cornbread, a buttery biscuit, and banana pudding. I was pleasantly surprised by the other items since the ordering site only listed the entree. Best Shrimp & Grits I've had to date. The shrimp was fresh and not overcooked or rubbery. The grits were smooth. The gravy was well seasoned, but not overly salty or rich. The cornbread and bread or biscuit was good, but not extraordinary. Those were quite dense and heavy paired with the other food. I loved the banana pudding. This meal jumpstarted my banana pudding hyper fixation. Very fragrant and not too thick yet still nice and creamy. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy either. It was a good dessert to round out the meal. I hope to come here again and have an actual sit down experience. Curious to see the ambiance!

I was a bit surprised to see that they were pretty empty inside (6:30pm on a Saturday seems like prime time), but the ambiance was pleasant, nonetheless. Our server was knowledgeable and walked us through the wine list -- I always appreciate when they don't just recommend the most expensive bottles. We ended up ordering a Sazerac and Corpse Reviver, but wished we had ordered wine. The drinks were both pretty warm, and it may be the first time ever that we've left cocktails unfinished. The bread and salad came out, and both were delicious. Our server did warn us that the cheese on the salad was not pasteurized, which seemed like a strange choice for a restaurant, but oh well. For such a simple salad, it was excellent. The bread and butter were great, too, but the olive oil tasted a bit rancid to me. Soon after we finished the bread and salad, our steak frites were served. I am normally a filet girl, through and through, but the NY Strip was so tender and flavorful that I forgot I wasn't eating a filet. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and despite the other reviews, the serving was plenty -- 7-8oz each. The fries were so good that I couldn't quit eating them, long after I was full. The garlic aioli and béarnaise sauce were delicious, as well. Definitely worth the $49/person! I found it a bit frustrating that the restroom was downstairs in their sister restaurant, Little Sparrow, but it wasn't really an issue. Overall, good food, good service, great ambiance, but the cocktails could use some work. Will probably return, but it's not at the top of my list.
