Used to love going to bongo room, but ever since covid, not only has prices risen and portions have gotten smaller, the quality is horrible. If I have to pay more for a smaller portion for my food I expect it to taste good. It’s so different now. Not satisfying at all.

I was visiting my daughter in the Lakeview area and went to pick up brunch here. There were several items that looked good. I got the vegetarian croissant sandwich with veggies and melted muenster cheese and my daughter ordered the breakfast burrito. My daughter knew that they would let you order one special pancake drenched in vanilla cream with raspberries (super sweet so a full order of two is too much) and we shared that. It was perfect. The staff was very friendly at pickup.

Great neighborhood brunch spot. The watermelon mimosa was incredibly fresh and refreshing, clearly fresh watermelon juice and perfect for summer. The breakfast burrito was incredibly solid and what really made it better than most was the cook on the scrambled eggs in it, they were very soft and fluffy, unlike a lot of other places preparation of scrambled eggs. Great go to spot in Andersonville!

The Bongo room is super nice, love the food and the staff are super sweet. They have a large dining area and a beautiful patio. We just love it here and the ambiance is so nice.We brought a friend that was visiting from Arizona and she told us that when she visits again she will bring her husband because she loved everything she had.A must visit

Probably the best tasting breakfast I've ever had in my life!! Get the deconstructed lobster roll Benedict. I almost fell off my chair it was so velvety good. Delectable, decadent and so delicious!!!!

OMG we loved this place. Terrific food and attentive service during Brunch on Saturday. Specialty drinks were actually special. Servers were personable and efficient. Cool vibe

The Bongo Room is solid. Warm/modern atmosphere inside + a lovely patio on nice days. Started with (delicious) coffee, then ordered the deconstructed lobster roll benedict which had good flavor. Lobster was almost minced though (I am from Maine so I was expecting some larger pieces). My only criticism is the potatoes were lukewarm and overall dish could have been hotter. The lemon blackberry french toast was the best thing I tasted. Would give 4.5 stars if I could - would recommend!

Great breakfast spot with a nice patio in Andersonville. Our food was really tasty (some of the best breakfast potatoes I've had!). Service was on the slower side but I give everyone the benefit of the doubt these days given staffing shortages etc.

The service was impeccable! Staff was top notch! Food was absolutely on point! I loved the ommlette and the toast! This place is trendy and everyone in it very professional and fun! Definitely check it out!

Visit the restaurant Sunday morning, the place wasn’t busy which is good, however in the middle of our brunch the waitress just left check on the table-how rude! We just started eating and you leave a check.The food used to be way better then now, the eggs and potatoes came out cold. Next time I will definitely go somewhere else.
