About This Place

Vibes Southern Cuisine is a standout soul food restaurant nestled in the heart of Upper Marlboro, MD, where the rich flavors of traditional Southern cooking come alive with a contemporary twist. Located at 5050 Brown Station Rd #105, this vibrant eatery masterfully combines comforting, home-style dishes with the freshest ingredients, creating a dining experience that’s both soul-satisfying and memorable.

Step inside Vibes Southern Cuisine and you’re immediately welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a genuine celebration of Southern hospitality. The spacious and clean setting provides the perfect backdrop for savoring a meal made with passion and care. The aroma of slow-cooked dishes and expertly seasoned meals draws you in, promising a feast that delights every sense.

Vibes’ menu reads like a love letter to soul food classics, elevated with creative touches sure to thrill any palate. Among the must-try dishes are the iconic Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Fried Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese with Green Beans, where succulent seafood melds beautifully with creamy, cheesy macaroni. The Chicken Wings offer a delightful range of flavors—from the zesty Lemon Pepper to the savory Meatball-style or perfectly crispy Pork Chop Dinner, each bite bursting with robust, well-balanced seasoning.

Seafood lovers will especially appreciate premium sides like the Seafood Mac N' Cheese, enriched with broiled shrimp and lump crab meat, or the vibrant Seafood Pasta Salad, tossed with pasta shells and a medley of crab and shrimp. For those who crave a hearty sandwich, the Fried Pork Chop Sandwich delivers crispy, flavorful satisfaction in every mouthful.

No Southern meal is complete without indulgent sweets, and Vibes excels here too. Their Banana Pudding is a silky-smooth, nostalgic delight that perfectly balances creamy sweetness with just the right amount of texture. The Peach Cobbler, with its rich fruit filling and comforting warmth, rounds out the meal beautifully—though some customers hope for a thicker crust to make it even more irresistible.

The beverage selection complements the menu wonderfully, featuring house specialties like the Homemade Arnold Palmer, a refreshing blend of lemonade and iced tea, and an array of flavored versions tailored with unique syrups to brighten your palate. These cool, crisp drinks offer a perfect counterpoint to the richly spiced dishes and add a personal touch to your dining experience.

The passion and care Vibes Southern Cuisine puts into every plate shine through not only in the food but also in customer experiences. Loyal patrons rave about the consistently fresh, perfectly cooked soul food, with Tina Tee highlighting the beloved sweet and sour meatballs as a menu treasure to be preserved. Trice found each dish—especially the crab fries, crab cake, and wings paired with macaroni and cheese and greens—bursting with bold flavors, while Denise Lancaster praised the exceptional wings and friendly, attentive service. Keonna G’s praise of the flavorful fried fish and shrimp platter paired with collard greens and mashed sweet potatoes echoes a sentiment of authenticity and heartwarming taste.

    This is my SPOT for delicious freshly cooked soul food! Vibes always gets it right which is why my family and I are loyal customers . We always order ahead of time because we know it's gonna take a little while, but it's always worth the wait! I don't know who is in charge of the menu but PLEASE keep those sweet and sour meatballs on the menu !!

    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.

    Now, these were some delicious wings! We purchased Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan, and Thai Chili for a last minute gathering and we were not disappointed—everyone loved these wings. The service was quick and the Staff was very friendly and helpful. The Restaurant had delicious looking desserts in the showcase and the Restaurant was spacious, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

    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!

    Found this spot via google map when searching for a bite to eat Thursday afternoon. Vibes receives a solid 5 stars after our visit. The young lady at the register provided exceptional service and recommendations. Plus, it always makes customers feel welcome when greeted with a smile. The atmosphere was inviting and clean. I loved the positive and uplifting quotes posted. Lastly, the bang bang crab fries and salted caramel banana pudding were oh so delicious ! I wish there was a Vibes Southern Cuisine near me, but since there isn’t I will definitely return the next time I am in the area. Keep up the great job in creating yummy food and providing outstanding service!!

    I recently moved to the Upper Marlboro, Marlton area and wanted to find a Soul Food restaurant to frequent. I'm glad I found this spot. The atmosphere was chill...friendly customers who seemed as if they were regulars sat and talked with me as I waited for my order...the ladies behind the counter were friendly as they gave customers their order and even knew some by name. My order: 1.) Honey lemon pepper wings (10 pc) - delicious, probably one of the best orders of lemon pepper wings I've ever tasted personally, just the right amount of honey, although a tad bit salty, perhaps that's what's to be expected 2.) Mac and cheese - not the best batch of Mac and cheese that I've tasted, needed a touch more seasoning, but definitely not bad 3.) Collard greens - were alright, has a kick that I like, I don't really have anything special to say about it. It's decent 4.) Candied yams - pretty good! I love eating candied yams with Mac and it went perfectly together. 5.) Jumbo lump crab cake - was fresh, jumbo means JUMBO...a very sizable portion, definitely more meat than breading (which is good), seasoned well, 6.) Fried shrimp - it was alright, a little on the salty side. 7.) Green beans - perfect, tasted amazing.

    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.

    My first time trying this establishment & it won’t be my last. Got the seafood platter with greens and Mac n cheese. The crabcake was pretty good & the fish fried perfectly. Sides were okay. The banana pudding was delish! I’ll be back soon to try something else.
