First of all, the food is AMAZING! I had the meatballs and gravy and was pleasantly surprised meatballs tasted that good! Rice could use some seasoning, but the Mac and cheese and greens go CRAZYYYYYYY. I don’t like seafood and Thats what it smells like to me, and the atmosphere is plain, but the lemonade it’s soo good. You can get different flavors and everything ! Definitely will be back !

I ordered the crab stuffed salmon, collard greens, and mac/cheese. Oh and a apple cobbler. Lets start with the lunch. Salmon was overcooked but they never asked me for a temp but not the turn off point. What lacked was flavor for the salmon. The crab topping was nice and they gave me this sauce which some people rave about but you can leave that as i didnt like it at all. Collards were nice. Mac and cheese was decent as it had the oven crust to it as my momma did when I younger.
Now on to why I provided a two star review.
The cobbler.
They had shards of plastic in the apple cobber which I nearly swallowed. It wasn't just one piece. I found a total of ten shredded pieces.
I'm unsure of my return after spending half a dub and traveling from La Plata. Place was closed by the time I started eating the cobbler and its too far to go back until i have a reason to be in Upper Marlboro.

So delicious! I’ve been trying to get here for a few years now but the schedule would never align with mine, but finally I was able to. I got the crab fries, crab cake, peach cobbler, and wings with mac n cheese and greens. Everything was delicious. I will say the greens had a little kick to them and the crab fries, so maybe having the option of not putting the hot sauce on them might help. But other than that everything was really tasty. The peach cobbler was also very sweet but still delicious. I definitely will return to try out more items for sure. When I placed my order a lot of things were already sold out, which says a lot about the quality of food. Very sweet couple who owns and runs this restaurant. So amazing to see them blossom.

The Food was everything . The customer service on the other hand was POOR 0/10. The young lady that recently graduated that worked at the register was VERY rude. I wouldn’t recommend eating here.

I’m from Baltimore so wherever we go, we’re going to grade your crabs. The crabs here suffered big time due to very little lump, over seasoned filler fake lump crabs. Sorry, it was a bust and a waste of $🤨 In fact all the food was a bust. Too many seasonings and none of the harmonized. Waiter looked like the owners wife from the website but OMG whoever they were, they were not very pleasant. Cleanliness was not their strength and price points were not great for the quality of the food. So sorry but I keep my reviews honest. A little more work is needed at this establishment. Please level up🙏🏽

I just ordered the blackened shrimp, sweet corn and sweet mashed potatoes. 🤮. When they were a good truck, the food was fresh and delicious. Now, their food is bland, straight from a can and certainly not worth the money. I will not be eating here again nor would I recommend this place to anyone. I’m so disappointed at how they declined in quality and service.

This place is truly a Vibe! The food is always on point, and the portion size is plentiful. I've tried about half of the menu and loved everything. The crab stuffed salmon, the wings, the Alfredo, the fried fish, meatloaf, seafood mac and cheese, salmon bite, catfish bites, shrimp, oh and my favorite the jumbo lump crab cakes. The desserts and the lemonades, I can keep going, but you better get you some.

I ordered whiting fish, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes. However, the cashier, Aaliyah, was not attentive to me as a guest or a new customer who just walked into the restaurant. She seemed preoccupied with other tasks more important than the customers. So, I approached her to ask about the menu. She mentioned that the menu was on the screen above and outside, where there was a QR code to scan with my phone outside the entrance door.

As I continued to discuss my order preferences, I noticed that she did not appear pleasant or ready to assist me. I asked her about substituting the 6-piece wings with the side of fries for a different side, and she agreed.

However, when I saw the bill, she charged me separately for the side order. The 6-piece wings with fries should have only cost $12, but the total was much higher, especially for the hush puppies, which were priced more than I expected. She never stated that you had to pay separately and that the fries could not be substituted. So, I discontinue to order this as my second order.

Anyway, I finally waited for my first order to give this restaurant a try, and the food was not all that great. The mac and cheese wasn't that good to me; it had no flavor. The fish and the sweet potato were fine.

I thought, I was coming into a nice fancy restaurant but that was not what expected. It was more like a carryout at a Chinese restaurant.

This was my first time here, and don't think I will ever come back because of the lack of service, the lack of knowledge, and friendliness.

We first found this spot during Covid and I must say what a difference a couple of years make. The food is awesome and hits you in the right spot. I love the mashed sweet potatoes and everything tasting so fresh, you know is good. We can always make this 30-minute trip.

Vibes Southern Cuisine served up some delicious food! I ordered the fried fish and shrimp platter plus extra shrimp with fresh collard greens and mashed sweet potatoes, and everything was flavorful and well-seasoned. The Hennessy BBQ sauce was a definite hit! The peach cobbler was good, though I think it would be even better with a thicker crust.

The service was great, but I do wish they had a seating area to dine in. Overall, a solid spot for tasty Southern food—I’d definitely recommend it!
