    Took my daughter to the Broadway Brunch for her 21st Birthday! All I can say is AMAZING. Ginger Snap was phenomenal along with all the other queens. Food was good. Service was great. Bottomless mimosas and bloody Marys. And yes they mean bottomless. The pitcher on the table was barely empty and the servers were bringing a fresh pitcher. I paid the $15 extra for the special birthday celebration and it was well worth it to make the day more special. All the queens were wonderful yo interact with. We will definitely be back.

    We can all agree that a drag dinner is a fun and unique dining experience but here are few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, the drinks specifically the Mai Tai, was overly sweet, not mixed well, and to say it lightly not a great cocktail. However, the service we received were great and loved how attentive they were. As for the food, we opted for their dinner package which included a Caesar salad, entree, and dessert. As we were hungry, we ordered an additional appetizer which were their chicken tenders and wouldn’t recommend one bit. It wasn’t freshly fried and was cold. At the same token, we enjoyed their Caesar salad a ton and was better off skipping the tenders. Now the entrees didn’t seem to be all that but we opted for their burger and fries. We thought it was good but didn’t like the burnt taste it left our palettes. The dessert wasn’t edible and it included two mini cupcakes/muffins with cold icing plus a cookie decorated with the, “Lips”, logo. To be honest, skip the food, order a non-cocktail beverage, and go for the performances. The host kept us entertained the entire night and we had fun but wish we would’ve dined elsewhere prior to visiting Lips.

    I went with a group of 5 friends to celebrate birthdays and we had the most amazing time! From the minute we walked in we were greeted by the entire staff. Food was delicious and the entertainment was absolutely amazing! We danced, laughed and had the best time! Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back for more fun!
