I went here on a week night but too early for a crowd as it's a late night spot I assume! Ambiance was nice, dark, great for drinks for the drankers or a date. Lounge vibes. I ordered the Pepper Soup and was delighted that it was snapper but baby that pepper soup was THE spiciest I've EVER had and I've had pepper soup before! Overall, I would try their food again, but just a different dish! read more

Great energy. Cool space. Good people. Awesome chef - Caribbean flare. The fish, Snapper dish, is amazing.

First off when we got there it was only 2 people in this place at 10pm on a Saturday. We ordered from the bar and the prices are so unreasonable. The ambiance was good music but not with an empty crowd. The pasta was bland and mediocre. The shrimp was the pre cooked shrimp with the head. The patties were supposed to be chicken but was beef. The bartender was horrible and she didn't recommend anything. She was a Caucasian girl that looks like she was just for her check. The jerk was not seasoned and I had better. Nothing about this place was a rave. No return for me read more

To start I was invited to this spot from a friend entering a poetry showcase. Parking The host was amazing. I paid my ticket on Eventbrite though no one ever asked me to show my ticket. Upon entering I was not greeted by anyone. The bar was to the right and lounge sectional seating was all around with a small stage at the opposite end of the room where the DJ was. It took well over 30minutes for me to get up to ask someone to take my order. I ordered Oxtails, beef suya and a lemon drop martini with Kettle One instead of Tito's. The martini was amazing. Shout out to the bartender. The beef suya was edible. A little tough at times but I ate it but the oxtails...were cold. I mean put your finger in it cut the oxtail cold. We were well into the show by the time the server came back. I had eaten the suya and almost drank my entire drink. I told her my dish was cold and she took it back. 10-15 minutes later she returned with the plate. Clearly microwaved to be reheated I did not bother as I came to support the amazing show. I asked for a carry out container, bag and check. The sever returned with her handheld machine and showed me my total. I thought it was high but I asked was the tip included. She replied no. Swiped my card and retired the machine to me as to give her a tip. I am normally a generous tipper. So whatever i added $14 and some change to a bill that I thought should be about $60. It still didn't sit right with me so I asked a receipt. Now looking at the receipt there is a $10 tip plus another $14 tip. Now I don't mind tipping $24/25 for great service but that was not it. I called the next day to speak to anyone in charge and was told they don't come in until well after midnight however they would give them the message and have them call me. She also had me send her the receipt. She was even shocked at what I told her. This may be ok for someone that does not care about her money but I paid to get in the door which had nothing to do with the venue. But to take advantage of people is stealing. I would not have notice if Apple had not hit my account for $84.92 . Can someone please explain it all to me after I asked the server was a tip included. Worst is...this is yet another black owned establishment that I am finding ok with taking advantage of people. I have called the lounge several times and no one is there that can handle a refund. So here I am to warn every one of there check at Blu Lagoon. I frequent too many places for this to go unnoticed. I am open to advise but right now the lack of management responsibilities and negligence of owners is truly bothersome. read more

The food was ready when I arrived, but it wasn't very good. It was also difficult to tell where to go for my order. I had to ask two different people and wasn't sure what their explanation meant. read more

I ordered the Red Snapper with rice/peas, cabbage and a side of Plantains. The snapper is always absolutely amazing, this place is always be my go to for their red snapper. The snapper is truly the only reason I frequent! The side items are hit or miss I guess depending on the who's the chef, I honestly don't know why I order the plantain bc they're always greasy/soggy and they will never remake them and tell you they only cost a few dollars. Like what!? Lol. Majority of the staff are sketchy and needs attitude adjustments and or customer service etiquette classes bc you cannot ask them anything without being looked at/talked to without bad mannerisms. Henceforth why I order takeout only these days. read more

I love the vibes and the food is delicious also is the music by International Dj Majest on point

Shrimp Creole was bomb! I even tried some Of my friends wings and chicken patty! It was good as well. read more

Nice restaurant and lounge in Atlanta. This place has more of a club vibe with the tables set up like VIP sections. The menu consists mostly of African food and some bar foods like wings and fries. I tried some fries which were good but a tad on the salty side. I can say that our food was prepared in a timely fashion and there was no cost to enter (unlike other late night lounges). I went with a few friends on a Tuesday night at about 2am. There was not much parking available so if you choose to go at that hour then I suggest ubering. I would go back and maybe try a few other food items. read more

Love it best suya & Jollof rice in atlant hands down. I eat it almost everyday literally

I went on Thursday night. Band was Amazing. Waitress had great service. Jerk Chicken delicious. Jollof Rice edible but I've had much better. Drinks and Hookah good. read more

Blue Lagoon Bar & Bistro - Jollof Rice and Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Food awful. Service from the waitress was sub par. She was not attentive and only checked on us once to see if we "signed the receipt". Even with a section she still did not give good service. She never smiled once. I understand that this is a late night spot but y'all have got to do better. The jollof rice tasted BURNT. The rice tasted like it was cooked three days ago then set on fire before serving it, yuck. Then the snapper was dry as a bone. It was flavorless and slathered in a super salty sauce that looked like diarrhea (see photo). Overall, the DJ played great music, the drinks were okay but the food was a total waste of money, the service was poor And no management in sight. read more

Blue Lagoon Bar & Bistro - "Fried Snapper" dry and salty. Not good at all. - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Excellent food and service. The DJ is amazing and the drinks are strong. There is more parking in the back. Make sure to try to jerk wings.

Paid for an advertised event and it was as cancelled no warning. Shabby empty place. I left immediately.

Food was overpriced and very greasy!! The service was terrible, I told my waitress I didn't like my food because it was over cooked and greasy and she immediately caught and attitude with me. One of the worst experience I've had at a restaurant. Being an African myself I had high hopes for this restaurant, and I was completely disappointed in their unauthentic ways of cooking my homeland meal. Definitely don't recommend going if you're looking to eat a good meal but the jazz band group was nice. read more

Came on from another spot on a Thursday at 5am. The music and vibe were ok. They were getting close to closing so maybe winding down.

Lovely music, drinks, this place is a vibe. I was vegan at the time I ate here so I didn't eat much but the food was excellent nonetheless. read more

Blue Lagoon Bar & Bistro - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

To be honest they don't even need to serve food because it's just bad...and expensive. I never felt so robbed after eating somewhere. Literally spent $60 and it was disgusting. I'm only leaving this because I really like the spot, ambiance, drinks are cool & its definitely my spot to watch a good game but the food has to step it up. Don't order food here, have a few drinks, chill & hit the next spot. P.S, that is NOT shrimp & grits read more

Good was quickly made and reminded me of my west indian grandmothers cooking. Also fairly priced read more

Blue Lagoon Bar & Bistro - Jer Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Came after a long day of drinking & this food didn't disappoint. Oxtail fell off the bone, plantains were crispy and sweet & the rice hit the spot. Just a few heads ups: they dont split checks, they auto add gratuity & they also don't provide glasses of water due to covid & each bottle is $3.50. Other than that, no complaints!!! read more

Blue Lagoon Bar & Bistro - Jerk chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This Caribbean food is fresh, flavorful, and decadent all at reasonable prices. Came here for lunch, and it was efficient and tasty. I had the ox tails with cabbage, rice and plantains. The ox tails was meaty, well seasoned, and delicious. The gravy was amazing, and I wished I had a side of it just to drink. My friend had the jerk chicken, which I would 100% recommend. It was a bit spicy but just enough to give everything flavor and not burn you. The gravy was fantastic and perfectly complimented the dish. The venue is well spaced out and the lounge looks cool to hang out in. I will defiantly be coming back for the food and the ambiance. read more

Absolutely most horrific experience ever! James the security guard inappropriately grabbed my wife out of our section we already paid for because he wanted to pocket 300 extra from us for not having a bottle. He also followed us around screaming I can fuck your wife repeatedly to us. We also will be following up with this situation. Hopefully no one else encounters this man at this location. At rhe server was great, she had to physically stop him from tossing our hookah n drinks away. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Again the Server was Great! read more

Best Chicken Philly in charlotte! The grilled onions and peppers set it apart from the rest!

Hands down, best wings in town. Seriously, Wingstop ain't got nothing on them.#Facts#Lemonpepper#Noranchneeded 4 stars because they don't have their liquor license yet (hopefully soon), but when they do, I'm definitely watching the game here. Check it out. read more

Came here to this restaurant with my wife to order beef patties and was recommended to get the snapper sauce by Dexter. I was not disappointed with the taste of the snapper sauce. It really brung out the flavor of the patties! Thank you so much Dexter for recommending us the snapper sauce. This is our second time here and we are very happy with the food and the service. We will be returning soon! read more

I came here around 2:30am on a Sunday morning the service was terrible!!!! Our server was not attentive at all!!! she purposefully avoided walking pass our section we had to get up and get her to come over and take our order. It took so long to receive the drinks we ordered and the drinks were watered down!!!! I will not be returning to this establishment I am surprise that they are still in business. read more

A LESSON IN CUSTOMER SERVICE... I visited Blue Lagoon for the first time on Dec. 28 along with two good friends (also first-timers). I was excited to support a black-owned business but was initially disappointed with the experience. The drinks, food and hookah took forever to arrive. When my food finally appeared, there was no silverware, so I went to my car to get a plastic fork (I keep leftover to-go silverware in the glovebox) because I was hangry and didn't want to wait lol. The beef patty was on point, but the jollof rice tasted smoky (burnt, really), the lemon pepper wings were overcooked, and the suya was akin to beef jerky. And according to my friend, the hookah was too harsh and she could barely taste the flavors she picked. Simply put, we were underwhelmed and wishing we'd started our night elsewhere. But the story takes a turn for the better... We shared our concerns with the owner who, rather than becoming defensive, immediately set out to make things right instead of making excuses. He said they weren't expecting as many people and were presumably understaffed, which explained the slowness. He worked on the hookah until he got it right, but didn't charge us for it. He also didn't charge us for the jollof (I chose not to argue about the wings or suya because I didn't want to be "that customer" lol). We felt compelled to thank him for responding appropriately, particularly in an era when customer service is all but dead. We hugged it out, left great tips, and even received free shots (Tito's) from his brother, who said he liked our energy. Because of this, I'm willing to give Blue Lagoon a second chance and encourage others to patronize this black-owned business. Everyone has an off night and last night just so happened to be theirs. Next time, they'll bring their A-game and knock my socks off! read more

Great late night spot! The DJ was great and played entertaining music to set the atmosphere! When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a pushy waitress. The restaurant was completely empty and we were told it was a $300 table minimum to sit down. After being seated, the drinks and hookah came out in a timely manner. The reason this establishment gets three stars is because it smelt like straight TRASH! How could anyone eat here with that smell lingering around the entire restaurant. When we asked the waiter about the smell she casually said they had malfunctioning sewer pipes! I'm sure that's violation of some sort of food safety policy/code. read more

Great food. Great service. We know Dexter from a previous establishment. Always a pleasure. Very polite, friendly and professional. We were seated quickly. Came in on a Friday night around 9pm. Decent crowd. Reasonably priced food. Tried the beef patties, jerk wings and rice and peas. The patties had a flaky crust with seasoned beef. Very good. The wings were tender yet slightly crisp coating. Loved them. Will definitely come back especially knowing they stay open really late read more

Came in @ 3am on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. Our server was very slow, took my drink an hour to be made. It's currently 4:30 am and my food still sleeping hasn't came out yet. Don't come here if your hungry ! Hookah we as pretty bad too. I asked the server if they can put some more water in it and cause it wasn't pulling right and she said NO Smh read more

Food is excellent.. get the fried snapper. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area.

Rarely do I write reviews. This establishment is bad enough that I feel compelled. First, the positive: the jerk chicken was good. Now the rest: No AC in the place. Hot af. Watered down Coke they charged $3.50 for. Watered down Jack Daniels they charged $12 for. I can get a nice cocktail at a fancy bar for that price They added an automatic gratuity of 18% to the check (I typically tip ~25%, but it pisses me off for places to add it in and then I won't add a dime to it). For the $ this place costs, take yourself to a real establishment. read more

Let's start with the fact I got to this spot at 11:30 on a Sunday night while it was not busy at all. I waited 30 good minutes for the waitress to return after she simply sat menus Down and did not return. As I say I watched her go and wait on two different tables who both arrived after me. She still did not return. I finally got her attention to come and take my order. When she did come take my order (3 waters 3 drinks two meals) she still took another 15 minutes to return with the drinks. When my food arrived the JOLLOF RICE was burnt and nasty tasting/ myself and my friend both agreed our food was nasty! If that wasn't bad enough, after I had paid my bill barely having enough time to EAT my food- this same waitress began to rush me to close my tab for the bottle service that was about to start...- I guess $130 food drinks and hookah was not enough money spent to deserve time to eat and drink & enjoy our food... a man (manager) then came over to the table to tell us we must move our seats (food drinks hookah still on the table undone) because he has people waiting to get in for a section. So I asked well where are we supposed to go with our food. He said to the bar mind you there was no seating at the bar so I guess in his mind I should have to stand up and eat with a plate drink and hookah in hand. After going back and forth he finds us seating at a small Table behind the bar ok by this time I'm ready to Go.... but wait it gets better! The man knocks the hookah over and the BURNING HOT COALS FALL OUT ON TO MY GIRLFRIENDS LEG BURNING HEr! Moral or the story.. the service sucks.. the food sucks.... management sucks && they burn people. Do not waste your time here there are better late night spots in Atlanta! This ain't it* read more
