Most Disliked
Some guests mention occasional waits during peak hours, especially on bustling Saturday nights. This is expected given its popularity, but it can still deter some who prefer a quieter dining experience. A few reviewers noted that the menu could expand to include more vegetarian options, reflecting trends towards diverse dietary preferences. While the lively atmosphere is a plus, some patrons seek a more intimate setting for conversations, especially when the live music is in full swing. Additionally, parking availability can be a challenge during the busiest times, which might require some guests to plan ahead.

I had such a great experience thanks to Ryan! From the moment we arrived, she brought amazing energy and professionalism to the table. She was super attentive, made sure our drinks were always topped up, and kept the vibe fun all night. Ryan has that perfect mix of friendly and efficient, she made everyone in our group feel special and taken care of. You can tell she really loves what she does. Definitely one of the best bottle girls I’ve had. Ask for Ryan if you want top-tier service and good vibes all night!

Every time I visit Famous Lounge the food is amazing, Most importantly Jaiven makes the experience unforgettable. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly energy truly set the bar high—literally! She knows her craft inside and out, mixing drinks perfectly while keeping the atmosphere lively and welcoming. Whether it’s a busy night or a quiet evening, Jaiven always delivers top-tier service with a genuine smile. If you’re at Famous Lounge, do yourself a favor and grab a drink from Jaiven—you won’t be disappointed. She’s easily one of the best bartenders in the area!

This is one of my favorite places to go to happy hour with friends. The food is so good and we always like ordering hookah. Drinks are on point and the music is always jumping when DJ Lex is spinning I love dancing. The Waitresses and Staff always encourage us to have a great time. They have undoubtedly changed the game with the recent stylish remodel and new bottle selections.
