The lounge has some pretty good fish and chicken. If you aren't hip make sure you try their drunken sauce which is like a vodka based bbq sauce. The greens, yams and Mac are really good sides. The Mac tastes like it had hints of the yam juices in it. Also on your birthday you can go get a free fish or chicken meal that comes with 2 sides. You have to actually go in your birthday and show your id. The service is good but it take a while to get your food, but once you do everything is all nice and hot. Also on Wednesday it is $1 wings and there is a deal for fish on Friday as well. read more

While The Lounge is a pretty good place to eat and enjoy your beverages, I actually stumbled upon the Greenhills location called The Lounge Uptown. The staff there is extremely friendly and they make great recommendations on food and specialty drinks to try. Wednesday is $1 wing day. The wings were fried to perfection. Ordered the lemon pepper wings with a side of drunken sauce. Great job. Will see you again. read more

The Lounge - Soul Food Near Me - Reading, Ohio

actually tried out the Green hills Winton Rd location! for the first time! Food is on point! glad I can take my drink with me old sourhern lemonade with all this liquor in it! glad I live close. came here on Michele Sullivan-Wilson recommendations with her now, enjoying the company. Only complaint, instead of that big arse floor length mirror in the bathroom, add an extra toilet stall! One is not enough. Also, I don't know about the Reading Rd crowd,, but in Green hills, the non clean version rap lyrics playing at 3 in the afternoon, might not go over so well. Thank you for changing the music when we walked in to good ole old skool R & B! read more

The Lounge - The Food Never disappoints, the same lady makes the side dishes daily, meat is made to order. This is spicy garlic, yams, Mac and cheese. - Soul Food Near Me - Reading, Ohio

This place was absolutely horrible. The female bar maid has the worst attitude ever. I had to wait an hour for my refund. I felt like they were going to take me in the back and stomp my ass out like suge and pac for not wanting the food. read more

Always enjoy my food! Service usually takes a little while but the food makes up for the wait times. The service is very friendly and nice and helpful when ordering. Usually good music playing and never to crowded which I enjoy the laid back vibe. read more

Oh YAM! Seriously I'll get to the review, but the candied yams at this place are like your grandma's (if your grandma is from the South). The venue is a hole in the wall local bar, but the decor is cool, there is a pool table and lots of TV's. Seems like a good place to watch the game. Ok, so I'm giving this place 4 stars because our first food order was given away (even the waitress was upset) and I didn't like one of the drinks (the Wonder Woman) , but overall it was good. The Strawberry Henny drink is yummy. The food is all spicy but tasty. Favorites were the spicy greens and the YAMS! Seriously, I want to eat these yams every day. Like I might make a haiku about these yams. I can't wait to come back and get more. In fact I may get a takeout order. read more

The food is delicious. The Mac & cheese, yams, greens although my greens had more meat than greens, they were tasty. The fish and chicken are fried to perfection and let's not forget the drinks. read more

Horrible service, only worried about men and they wait 60 mins to serve the women. All around horrible. Thick women that are only worried about Cincinnati clout and not service. Honestly would not recommend. This always happens when you try to support black businesses. Presentation is not key here and our fries were cold and they said it only take 3 mins to cook!!! Super disappointed in this black establishment. read more

Out of fish on festival weekend. ( reading rd) I stopped in around 5:30. Stopped in Greenhills location a couple weeks later. The server decided to wait on some men before me. She knew I was there before them because she looked at me and told me that she'll be right with me. I've been in the restaurant business for years. As I watched her wait on everyone before me, she could hit me be cashing out folks. A couple of weeks before e got charged tax and for something that I don't know. When I said something about my meal that was 11.50 being almost 14 TO GO. She took something off and said I can't do anything about tax. No tax on food to go. Never judge a book by its cover because since your server decided to cash out people who she just made drinks for knowing they are waiting for food . Also , to wait on guys instead of the woman who was there about 5 minutes before they even showed up! You don't have to worry about getting my money anymore. Never let your money walk out the door! I will NEVER return to any of the locations read more

Your bio says "true neighborhood bar, with a friendly atomosphere." I've been here twice now including today and I haven't felt the friendly atmosphere AT ALL. Bartender this morning gave off a nasty and definitely NOT positive nor "friendly" atmosphere. Very short answers, and we weren't even greeted coming through the door. Instead of asking us what she could help us with she just sat and stared at us until we ordered. But is currently EXTREMELY talkative to someone who looks like a coworker or personal friend. As I said this is only my second time here and this is the same experience I received the first time and will not be returning. Customer Service should be greatly improved if you want to achieve a "friendly atmosphere". read more

Actually... I give this lounge a easy 5 stars. 1) Good amount of free parking 2) Good decently priced drinks 3) Good food, reasonably priced as well. 4) Friendly staff. 5) Clean bathroom 6) Clean environment 7) Updated payment system 8) nice DJ 9) Location, Location Location is appropriate 10) food time was normal, vibe is friendly and chill. My homegirl ordered the fish dinner which was $14 for two sides with three large pieces of fish. Her sides were candied yams and Mac n cheese. I ate her sides with her and she was full too. It was so good I can't wait to go back. I ordered wings and fries... I was also happy with that decision it was flavorful and cooked to perfection. We both ordered a strawberry lemonade patron, and a shot of patron and we were def feeling good. The drinks even were tasty and you felt the effects. I loved it. Can't wait to go back. I even told my mama about it now she's telling her friends. I encourage a visit here. read more

Horrible horrible service!! First of all I stood at the bar for 10 mins and one person was in front of me with no acknowledgement from the only bartender there: thick light skin bartender After waiting for about 15 minutes I was asked what do I want in rush manner. I wanted to order food but by the service of the The thick light skin bartender she made me just wanna order a drink. What establishments doesn't want customers to spend more money?? I was over charge for my drinks!!! I was charge different prices for the exact same drink two different times I came to the light skin bartender told me even tho it was happy hour I still had to pay full price for my shot. I was on the phone with my sister and she heard everything! She couldn't believe it! If your a beautiful female DO NOT COME HERE!!! The bartenders are very mild and rude and ONLY PROVIDES GOOD SERVICE TO MEN. Not to mention I STILL TIPPED THE HEFFA BECAUSE I WANTED TO SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESSES BUT THIS ISNT THE WAY! What do I recommend? Hire ppl that first has REASONABLE CUSTOMERS SERVICE! Prices are to high for the service to be this bad! Not telling you to change prices however better customer service YES!! Don't worry I won't be back! Oh yeah I also heard because Cincinnati is very small that light skin bartender overcharge your orders to increase her tips. This also was the same bartender that gave me service early today during happy hour. read more

The Lounge - Henny and slushee I added double shot - Soul Food Near Me - Reading, Ohio

I've ordered food from this establishment numerous times. Received a few b'day meals with no problem. Today I call in a $73 order get home and was missing a few items. I call as soon as I realize. Same person who took my order answered again explained the problem he says ok we will get it ready. My husband goes back, long story short he has to pay for a salmon I already paid for. The workers were rude. I myself work in the food industry so I know how it can be. Why spend my money to lie? He said he even had to ask about an order of wings we purchased because it was only 3 big boxes. He didn't think to check the other boxes. We never had this problem but today your employees/ mangers and a video wow poor service read more

I ordered the whiting fish, yams and Mac which all of it made me want to SMACK my momma

Great food wonderful vibe and good music. I will definitely be back. Delicious was worth every dollar

Waited 1hour for a turkey burger and he didn't even bother to make my potatoes and onions offered me macaroni and cheese instead......burger was burnt and hard around the edges I've been here before and the food is decent. The young barmaid was very nice and attentive and that was worth the wait. Thank you young lady, you definitely were raised with morals and values, kudos to you Thursday around 7pm was not a good time to visit. Especially, when I came for salmon which wasn't available and ended up with a burnt turkey 06/24/2021 read more

The establishment is a nice, but the female bartenders are horrible. Was waiting to order a drink with no line to waiting in and they continue to have conversations with their normals. I had my money out and gave eye contact but nothing. After waiting for over 7 minutes with no service I was ready to go!!! Will never go back!!! read more

The food was amazing! Definitely worth the hour drive. It's not in an upscale neighborhood, but if you don't want to dine in you can order your food to go and the staff is really nice. I'll definitely be eating here again read more

I went on my way home from a long day at work, recommended by a friend. Frozen drink was great, Mac n cheese was fire. Wings Horrible. Dry and over cooked, no lemon pepper was on the wings. I spent 38 bucks. Never again. I will try to support one more time but will never get the wings again. read more
