    Absolutely a treat! Lips is always a place that I pick when there's a celebration in my friend group! The queens are always so helpful and put on fantastic performances! For dinner and a 1.5 hour show, it is VERY reasonably priced IMO. All of the food is great and everyone that I bring is very impressed with the food every time. Great drink selection as well! Highly highly highly recommend!

    This was one of the most amazing places I have ever eaten. The food tasted so good, and homemade—it felt like I was over someone’s house getting some comfort food. True, authentic, southern cooking. The service was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming and hospitable.

    This is the restaurant I've been dying to find since moving to Atlanta 3 years ago. This is officially the best brunch PERIODT. The vibe is so cool, so O4W. The hostess has the mostest and our server was so sweet and fun. Our new years day brunch was the total package. We're already planning our second meal later this week. I will be a regular.
