Best KPortal Reviews

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant and I must say, the crab ragoons were absolutely to die for! The crispy exterior gave way to a creamy, flavorful filling that left me wanting more with every bite. And don't even get me started on the fried chicken sandwich - it was hands down the best I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked to crispy perfection, sandwiched between two fluffy buns with all the fixings.
But what really made my experience memorable was the fantastic service from Tony, the bartender. He was incredibly personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made great recommendations and really enhanced my dining experience. It's rare to find such outstanding service these days, and it truly made my visit that much more enjoyable.
Overall, I can't recommend this restaurant enough. The food is top-notch, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of their delicious offerings.
On Sundays only Vibes serves some of the tastiest Pho (Vietnamese soup) around and I’ll definitely be back for more. The broth is extremely flavorful, a mix of tender sliced and stewed beef, and my favorite part, a surprise fried savory donut to soak up that tasty broth.
The most disgusting place me and my friends ate at. The servings were so small compared to how much they charged. And the waitress service was horrible and the wings were deformed and bigger than our hands, they looked like turkey wings, yuck. Ans when we asked them to take them off our order because my friend only ate one wing only because she was hungry and they sent her order out wrong the first time and had to wait 20 mins for these huge gross wings — the manager came a lil short smart mouth man, he was so rude and was yelling and arguing with us and only took a dollar off for the wings. Usually I don’t even do reviews but the service and food was that horrible I just had to, I’ve been letting everybody I know not to try this place and I doubt y’all will be open very long
I’ve been in a few times and every single time the staff are very friendly, expedient and the food has always been great. The chicken sandwich was super crispy and juicy exactly what you want. Always hits the spot!
Really good drinks, food is just as good. The service is even better. I rarely ask for the servers name but Carlos served us and we couldn’t ask for better service. definitely an amazing experience with the best service anyone could ask for !
This is an ok place. They had a lot of items that they were out of and were over priced. The waiter was normally the bartender so he was constantly forgetting items but he had a good attitude. My wife's food had a funny smell and taste so she didn't eat much. The best thing we ate were the cheese burgers but that is typical bar food and nothing outstanding about them.
Had a GREAT TIME!!!!!!! I'm not big on crowds and this was awesome nice and less people to see ???? MY WAITER WAS Danieka and Bartender name Tony, Both greeted us with smiling welcoming faces very sweet people. The atmosphere was really nice and chill, customers enjoying themselves and watching the game ???? pretty fun!!!! Great Vibes here !!! we sat outside and it felt so nice out, food was pretty tasty too I didn't get anything too big but pretty light for my stomach, got wings, side salad and mozzarella sticks, my hubby got wings and flatbread Magherita which has a nice taste to it the flavors actually mesh well together and cheeeezzzyyy. ???????????????? It was an awesome night weather was perfect and AGAIN THE VIBES WERE GREAT! I WILL COME AGAIN AND NEXT TIME I will TRY THEIR BURGERS. The place was nice and clean including the bathrooms, nice and clean and smelled good. No complaints here ????????????????????
We went in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The food and drinks were really good! Ordered onion ring appetizer and wings and cowboy burger. All tasted great!
Atmosphere was nice with sports on the tv and good music in then background. Nice breeze coming through with the patio open.
Will for sure be going back!
