Service was iffy at best. We had to find our own waitress three times. When we finally got our food it was good but by then it was time to go. The entertainment was HORRIBLE!! The singer just kept getting louder and more off key as the night went on.

Was wife birthday arrive at 715pm with reservations was ask to give up seat at 915 pm head lady said reserved seat are only for 2 hours..we had spent 100 dollars was enjoying the band…their was a concert at the palace.. and people were tryna get in.. we should not had been made to give up our seats .. where in your advertisement does it state that .. me and my family have been their many times and have never been told that.. I would not have came their if I knew that , it was a night out not a hour out, the fun had just started and we we’re friends with the band members…So we left their in went to joes palm room after being told we had to give up seats..why make reservations? Very upset never ever had this happen anywhere.. not sure if I will be back..and we have supported you all along.

This place is spectacular!! The server, Richard was very professional and attentive. Fish and braised collard greens were delicious, and the long Island teas were on point! Mac and cheese was a little soggy but overall we enjoyed the experience. Not to mention the live band.....will definitely be returning 👍

The drinks and food were quite good here dining before a show. The only issue we had in a party of 4 was one entree was never delivered before having to leave for the show. All other drinks and appetizers were handled well and were delicious but this was an issue and would have been a bigger one if the apps were not so generously portioned.

Let's say the atmosphere is awesome, service was great, the band was good. Now Let's talk about the appetizer fried potato chips and house cheese sauce was delicious. Fried Fish and fries salty, greens had too much vinegar taste with a bite, macaroni and cheese was bland. Wings are huge and for the price you get 4.Now Angus burger was great. I did mention that vinegar needs to be added by customers. Overall other than the salty and vinegar food. A burger American way would be best choice next time no salt fries. I didn't send anything back but I can say this need better food quality taste testers there.

Bar Service was slow, food came within expected time. Food wasn’t terrible, but nothing to write home about. Definitely not a destination unless you need the convenience of being across from the Palace theater.
Black Jockey's LoungeResponded on July 18, 2023
Thank you for your feedback and review. Any issues with food or service should have been brought to the attention of the general manager or executive chef the evening of in order to allow us a chance to address and rectify as needed. We hope to see you back at Black Jockeys Lounge, soon!

I would of gave it a higher rating except for 1 thing. They do a digital menu. Which means trying to figure out what you want on the small screen of your cell phone. Need to have a regular menu. What about sight impaired people.

Overall we had a great experience. Biggest criticism was the wine prices. They charged $18/glass for a wine that costs $17/bottle. Way above normal restaurant prices. Great bourbon selection and decent prices on the bourbon. Food was good, service was good, atmosphere was good and the friends we were with made the evening a great experience. We would go again but order a different wine next time.

Arrived at 5 p.m. on a Saturday night. We were seated and served promptly. Had egg rolls for an appetizer. Husband had 2 appetizers for dinner - stuffed mushrooms and spinach salad. I had the salmon special. The food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of it. We had 4 cocktails between us and the bill came in around $100. Pretty reasonable!

Really enjoyed our meal last evening! Jaeger was excellent, though I must say, "we are short on employees" should not cause those servers working to carry too many tables to service. The food was outrageously good, compliments to chefs!

When this restaurant first opened in 2021, I truly enjoyed myself. Though the prices are not cheap by any means, the food & drinks held up to said prices. Now, after frequenting a few times throughout the last two years, I’ve never experienced what I did the very first time again. The ambiance is wonderful & I LOVE the live jazz but the food & drinks are no longer worth what is being charged. Last night even, the jazz band could not get the tuning right and the high pitch scream the microphone can make was making my ears ring. The time before this I had to complain to the owner about the service. I won’t be going back any time soon. Maybe 2025 will be a better year?

Did not know what to expect and had a great time. Food was wonderful. Limited gluten-free options, but worked around. Chef Elliot was great as was the service. Stuffed mushrooms were amazing. Wished wine list had more information and prices… Will be back!
