Good Vibes Coastal Kitchen

Came for dinner. The previous times we were here we had a great time and the food was amazing. This night's dinner not so much. To start, we were told to wait 10 to 15 minutes even though there were empty tables in both sections of the place. It seemed strange but we were fine with waiting. Staff was very nice and friendly but it took some time for them to take our order. The burger was delicious as usual but the onion rings were off. The batter was too sweet. It tasted like beignet batter fried onion rings. Not good. The chicken and sausage gumbo was way too salty and there was barely any rice in the gumbo. Maybe that's why it was way too salty. The cornbread was good but it did not go with the gumbo. It was too sweet and the gumbo too salty. Crackers or more rice would have been better. Today's visit did not deserve a 4 star but I am basing it on previous visits that was good.

Oh my goodness the Tiki Burger is amazing and the Mac n Cheese is to die for. Christina was our waitress and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. She was also amazingly attentive. The Pretzel with cheese dip was also amazing but put us over the edge! We always split a meal and it was plenty of food for the hubs and I.

This review is only based on tonight’s visit, my fist time here, and the fish and chips..I ordered the fish and chips for myself and my son, and showed him pics of what beer battered fish and chips looked like…explained the crunch and how amazing it was. unfortunately, this is not a “traditional” fish and chips. it’s more like fish sticks with a thin soft coating of something that is not a crispy traditional batter. The wings were also quite over cooked. that being said, the waitress offered to replace the fish and chips and the vibe was good. i’d def say give it a chance, but if you want traditional fish and chips, don’t order their fish and chips. it’s like asking for carbonated water and getting still…. again, staff and service was great! atmosphere outside look super!

The food was amazing, the queso was the perfect amount of spicy, pretzel was soft, cheese curds on point. And that's just the appetizers! All of the food was made fresh, great portions and all around plates were empty. I had the shrimp po boy and sweet potato fries and it was delicious! The service was a little slow, but they did mention being understaffed for the evening, so Im sure every other night it's fine. Most of the staff was super friendly and kept the drinks filled! Highly recommend.

Look forward to going back and trying some other things on the menu… especially during crawfish season. The patio was nice since the weather was good.

Been wanting to come here for a while now and we finally made it. First thing, love the atmosphere. Second, I found out the menu has way too many selections to pick from food to drinks. But that's not a bad thing, you just need to come back and try different menu options. Third, the service was great. Actually the food came out way faster than I thought it would, and when you're done and you need to pay for your bill. Ask for the text message receipt, it automatically enrolls you into their good vibe points. Because I definitely plan on coming back!!

Really good atmosphere good service. Give my dog some water and we sat outside. It was nice and cool. Food was amazing.

You've got to try the deviled eggs w/oysters or smoked salmon, great starter!😋 My red fish tacos were "Top of the Line". Only got too full to try the Key lime pies. For my next visit for sure.🥰

Went during lunch time today for the first time. The environment and vibe of the place seemed great of the bat. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and sat down. The waiter was great,very sweet, and attentive. We got our food and everyone was enjoying their food. I ordered the Cajun Hot Chicken but they forgot to dip the chicken so it was not spicy at all. They also forgot to dip my coworkers sandwich too . We just didn't say anything since we didn't want to take out food back since we were limited on time and didn't want to wait to get another sandwich. Overall the sandwich was good and juicy I just wish it was the Cajun Hot Chicken. I do plan to come back and try this place out again.

When we had that one day of decent weather, sitting outside was a real treat. The mixed drinks were so good and a draw for the kind of girls who like a cute glass (me). One gripe was they were randomly out of a lot of their beers on tap but I don't like beer so who cares? I got the shrimp in all cornmeal, so delicious, not overcooked and the Cajun fries were amazing. The fried pickles were also amazing. Our waitress could have come around a little more but nothing I'd make a stink about. Overall? It's yes from me!

Love this place! We've gone for brunch several times and I've never had a dish that I didn't love! When it's nice weather, they'll sometimes have live music on the patio, and the place just lives up to the Good Vibes name! The patio is covered with plenty of fans, so it's nice even when it's hot outside or raining. Today we got the fried cheese curds (highly recommend!), the truffle avocado toast and the birria huevos rancheros - All hits! They also have a build your own Bloody Mary bar, which is a personal favorite of mine! Definitely recommend if you're in the Pearland area!

Just a wonderful place all around. Great staff, food and love the tropical theme. We love to get the crawfish and crab boil but everything is really good.

My plate was good, my party ordered wings, all their wings were over cooked and very dry almost to the point they were burnt. Waitress was sweet but not too attentive.

Food is always great! Service is spot on!! Love the seating set up; inside and out. Nights when music is happening is even better.

I finally got around to checking out Good Vibes Coastal Kitchen. The family and I were looking to try something new for my sister in law's birthday and she suggested this spot. It's been around for a few years now and it is a total shame it took this long for me to get here because this place is great! It is located on the east side of Pearland and bordering Friendswood. They totally transformed this once German bier Haus into a little tropical oasis in the suburbs. The good vibes were definitely happening when we walked in on a Friday evening. It was a hot day, but the large patio seemed to be the place to be with lively, live music going on. We made reservations so we were seated pretty quickly. Inside, the place has lots of seating as well and has a Hawaiian décor going on. Customer service was great from start to finish. They have a variety of different items on their menu, mainly consisting of either seafood or burgers. The appetizer menu probably has the most mix of foods though. My family and I were locked in and ready to eat as soon as we got their so we immediately ordered entrees and skipped apps. I ran into some friends coming in and they said the oysters and crawfish were excellent. For my entree, I went with the Spicy Patty Melt. The name is what caught my attention. I've had patty melts before but not spicy. I had to try it. Food came out in a decent amount of time. My plate looked very promising when they set it down in front of me. From the first bite I could tell they use quality ingredients. The angus beef patty was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It sat between buttery, toasted sourdough that gave every bite a little bit of crispy texture. They topped it with pepper jack, sautéed onions, mushrooms and jalapenos, and a chipotle aioli. All the flavors worked in perfect harmony. It was probably one of the better burgers I have had in awhile. You have your choice of regular or Cajun fries as a side. For an additional charge you can get garlic or sweet potato fries, or a salad. I went with Cajun fries. They seemed like fresh cut fries which I love. They went a little heavy on the seasoning, but I did not leave one behind. My family got a variety of different burgers and sandwiches and one person got fish and chips. No food was left behind so I assume everyone enjoyed their meal. We couldn't have a birthday meal without dessert so we shared the Island Bread Pudding. I am a sucker for bread pudding and this again was another top notch item. It came out nice and warm, the textures were spot on. They topped it with a pineapple rum sauce, pineapples and vanilla gelato. I would come back just for this. Overall, we were highly impressed by this place. The vibes are definitely good here. They have a happy hour that is calling my name so I will be back very soon!

The drinks were amazing. We had the hurricane drinks, which were beautiful and strong. The food was delicious, and the Keylime pie for dessert was great - the serving was generous enough for two people. The fried shrimp and fries were also excellent, and the portion was perfect for sharing. The patio was spacious and had a bar. I enjoyed sitting out there, eating and drinking until a possum came onto the patio, which made me leave. Despite that, I will definitely be back.

I love Good Vibes! My husband and I took my mother-in-law for lunch a couple of weeks ago. We were greeted and sat right away. Jeff (our favorite) was not serving that afternoon but he came to our table and seated my mother-in-law so very gently and respectfully. She is elderly and walks with a cane, and that warmed my heart. I ordered the house salad and added grilled shrimp. I could eat that salad every day for the rest of my life, it is so good!

I've had Good Vibes on my radar for quite some time, but hadn't found time to try it as I don't frequent "Pearwood" very often. I had dinner with my fellow Pearland Elite Jennifer A., a few months back. We had just finished a workout at Cyclebar and we were searching for a place to have dinner. We got there about an hour before close and opted for a seat on the patio. We definitely felt the coastal vibe from the moment we walked in. I was surprised to see how full the patio was. It seemed like quite a few patrons were just hanging out on the patio enjoying some adult bevies. Our server was Sierra. She was very nice, but slow at times. We had ordered appetizers and waited for her to return so we could order entrées. We probably waited 15-20 minutes before she came by to let us know that the kitchen was about to close so we hurriedly put our orders in because appetizers were not gonna be enough. I believe she said the kitchen closes at 8:40pm. The cocktails looked good, but I wasn't in the mood to drink so I opted for a Virgin Strawberry Basil Lemonade. It was good and refreshing. Beachin Deviled Eggs - you can choose from 3 flavors (Crisp Fried Oyster, Bourbon Bacon Chutney, or Smoked Salmon Dip). I had the Bacon Chutney and the Smoked Salmon Dip and they were fantastic! I really enjoyed the flavors and creaminess of the Smoked Salmon Dip. It's a different take on deviled eggs. Bacon Brussels Sprouts - these are a shared side so the portion was generous. They were very flavorful! The texture was great and it had a nice char to it. I ate some for lunch the next day and they tasted so good! Baja Fish Taco - these are a la carte. I had one and it was a nice size. The batter on the fish was good and I liked the different flavors of the fish, slaw, pico, and chipotle aioli. At the end of our meal, it took Sierra a long time to close us out. We were one of the last patrons in the restaurant by the time she realized that she hadn't run our cards. Maybe she was having a long day so I won't hold it against her. I enjoyed my meal and I want to try some of the other menu items because I'm intrigued by the menu. Hopefully service won't be slow on my next visit.

This place is fine. Not great but not bad. The crab cake was a bit salty for my taste and the drinks were a bit weak but taste delicious. The deviled eggs were okay as were the tacos. Nothing to rave about honestly. I expected better from the reviews.

This is the best "foodie" spot I've had in all of Houston. Coming from a food rich culture in Indianapolis, I've been disappointed in the lack of chef driven restaurants like what I was used to. Being here brought back memories. Definitely met the "vibe" check. Great food, great environment, great service. And a dog friendly patio too!

I love this place! Such a fun ambiance! All the food is delicious! And the drinks are so cute! I love the live bands! It's a vibe.

Visited yesterday for Saturday brunch after shopping. All I can say is that I will be back soon with the family!! Just myself and my friend went this time. The food was chef's kiss delicious!! Definitely a 10/10. I tried the avocado toast and the chipotle oyster deviled eggs. My friend tried two different wings and a burger with truffle fries. I should have ordered the truffled fries to go because they were so good!!! I also ordered the chicken & waffles to go for my husband. He said it was delicious and had him in a food coma afterwards. We also had mimosas that were delicious!! Parking was plentiful and no issues. Service was amazing and very quick. Our server was amazing and definitely knew the menu well! We sat outside and the breeze felt so good!! It's covered so even if the sun was beaming you'll be shaded. They also had plenty of fans for the summer heat to arrive soon. Overall it was definitely good vibes and we'll be back soon!!

I was craving some seafood. We decided to try out Good Vibes! I am glad we did. The place has a nice outdoor section with live music. On a Friday evening, we were seated within 5 minutes. We had loaded lobster potatoes. It was yum. I wish there was more lobster. Then, I had blackened Baja sandwich And my husband had chef's feature seafood pasta, it had scallops, shrimp, capers, sundried tomatoes in a creamy sauce! so good! That was my favorite!! We also had drinks: Beach Chair and Tipsy texas tea. They were good.

This place looks like it should be somewhere with a water view. I enjoyed the TV's with aquarium screen savers; cute and relaxing. Food was okay, crawfish was pretty good, but everything else was kind of on the bland side. The bread pudding with pineapple was the best and most flavorful dish...delish!!

My family and I finally had the chance to return here yesterday evening and I'm pleased to say that we had a much better experience where the food was concerned. I think they may have made some changes to the menu since the last time we were there. The fries, in particular, were excellent. We also had 4 of the 5 kinds of a la carte tacos on offer and they were all flavorful and delicious. My husband was especially fond of the birria variety. We also had sliders and a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was SOOO good. My only complaint in that regard was they only offered lobster for "upgrading" and [in my personal opinion] lobster is one of the most flavorless foods there is. I would prefer to be able to add bacon/green onion and then it would be HEAVENLY. If you enjoy a sociable server, then sit in Ronnie's section. He's outgoing and attentive. Couldn't have asked for better service.

Bartender Burt was amazing ! Awesome place would def come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess we just keep picking the wrong things to eat here. This time, the cornmeal crusted fried shrimp was either frozen or totally overcooked. The crust was so heavy that you could peel it off (and you needed to), and the shrimp were rubbery and tasteless. The wings were good, decent size and good sauce. Drinks are a bit pricey and the beer is flat about half the time. The beachy vibe and music are cute, but we always feel like we spend way too much money. Also, there is a service no-mans-land inside the restaurant, so be sure to sit on the patio or in the bar.

Great place for a cold drink and good food. They also have live music several nights a week.

A little storm passed through and it helped cool down the area and made sitting outside nice. The evening 2 person band was nice and easy on the ears. The service was good and not behind. The food: well for the most part it was ok. Cajan fries were just dumped in the basket with an abundance of to much seasoning. The Texas tea drink isn't very good and way over priced. We will return due to the fish and chips and other offerings that we have tried in the past. Watch out for kids running everywhere and the parents not doing much to stop the wild behavior.

Food was amazing!! We got the hot pretzel and the queso was very good. My daughters didn't care for the Dijon mustard, but definitely horseradishy .. I didn't mind it. We loved the burgers and the cute stamp on the bun was fun. The kids Mac n cheese is off the chain. The gumbo pretty great, I wish I got a bowl instead of the cup! I definitely would have been too full after that. I've found it very hard to find a good gumbo.. now I know where I can get some that I don't have to travel to Galveston for!

Minus the side eyes from the patrons in the parking lot and a few in the establishment, the name speaks for itself, it really was a good vibe! We had the pleasure of having Abby as our server and she was great! Even before being seated a staff member asked had we been helped, which we said no and someone came over right away. Abby seated us and gave recommendations on drinks, explained the full bar, and even told us that they had live music on certain days. Also she told us that there was a program for loyal customers. She definitely made us feel comfortable. I had the Kraken Burger which had caramelized onions, mushrooms, and cheese. It was very delicious. The patty wasn't super thick, there was more bread than patty, but the bread was extremely soft so it didn't take away from anything. My husband had the Mahi Mahi Burger he enjoyed it as well. I had Cajun fries and my husband had sweet potato fries and they both were delicious with the ranch and other sauce that was offered. I had the Paloma and it was slightly watered down so there wasn't that much flavor, but towards the end I did feel a little something so I can't complain just wish I tasted more flavor. We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and enjoy the patio again!

Plenty of parking and ample indoor seating. Ordered my son a kids hamburger which he thoroughly enjoyed. Ordered blacked mahi burger which was excellent. Husband ordered the regular burger which he liked as well. Ordered a drink which was not good and I'm assuming the super young bartender isn't experienced enough so beware when ordering. Had a delicious king cake cheesecake for dessert. Fast service and good food with a cute ambiance.

My family has been here 3 times and have had varying experiences each time. First time, we loved it. Second time, the fries were very stale and when our waitress brought out a different batch, it was still stale but just hotter. We decided to give it a third try. The fried pickles as an appetizer was a nice combination of crisp from the outside batter (reminded me of funnel cake consistency) and freshness from the pickles. My mom ordered the mussel calabrese but was told that they were out of mussels at 7:45 PM. My brother ordered a smash burger with garlic fries and what came out was a classic burger with classic fries. When we questioned our waiter, he said thought he heard my brother say classic burger when he ordered but he was very apologetic and offered to take it back. Overall the burgers were pretty average and we were still disappointed with the fries. While they weren't stale this time, we felt like they could have been crispier. We weren't too impressed overall so we probably won't be coming back for a fourth time.

Good vibes @Good Vibes! Love the fresh food, live music, and tropical cocktails. Ceviche is fire! Added cucumber is a nice touch. So good I went back the same week for it again. Tacos are large and tasty but not a huge fan of the selection of flavors. Fried chicken in a taco but no fried shrimp option?

Absolutely loved this place. I never heard about Good Vibes until my parents brought me there and I'll definitely be going back soon! Food: 5/5 The prices and the amount of food you get are a huge check for me at restaurants and Good. Ones checked those boxes. I started with some chips and guacamole which were really good and then I got the Baja tacos for my entree. Everything was very filling and so yummy. I also ordered a margarita and it was good too. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very kind and she helped us answer a lot of questions that we needed to know. She was also very patient with us and always made sure we were getting taken care of. Ambiance: 5/5 This is definitely a more of an outside sitting area but my family and I wanted to sit inside because it was really hot. But the inside is really cute and gives you like a beachy vibe and so does the outside area.

Excellent food and drinks. Service was great. Order Bahama Mama and Beach chair drinks. Tiki Sunrise Burger

One Star: The ambiance was cool, the artwork throughout the place is beautiful. Layout is pretty cool, you get to choose from bar side, patio area, or two separate dining rooms. One of which it looks like you can reserve for private party and can be closed off. Two Star: I ordered 2 drinks tiki island, and pina colada both which were delicious and presentation was fun. Each drunk was about $12, if anything I'd be coming back for the drinks and the fun atmosphere although a lot of things seemed a bit overpriced but again I think your paying for the atmosphere. Three Star: you are greeted immediately waking in, the host is nice. My waitress was cool and made sure to check on us throughout the evening. Negatives: - There were a lot of toddlers and kids there it would've been nice to have an area for them to play since the patio area is pretty spacious and is covered in astroturf. - Food was OK. I was pretty disappointed this time round so I'll definitely wait a little bit and come back to check out other menus on the item. My husband ordered a classic cheeseburger and although the plating was nice the burger was meh. It's a burger place I expected a lot more than a bland burger. He got Cajun fries with it and that was basically regular fries sprinkled with Cajun seasoning. My 2 year old got mac and cheese and to be honest I think it was the best thing we ordered all together. The Mac n cheese is scratch made not Kraft Mac n cheese. He gobbled it up and loved it. Knocked out immediately after so good job on the Mac! :) - we came in at about 7:20pm, place was not packed but had a good amount of people. For it being what seemed slow to me we had to wait to be seated for about 15 plus minutes. I couldn't imagine the wait time when they are busy and i don't want to find out. Overall: It's nice spot, very casual, themed spot to take the family. Prices are a little high and at this point it wasn't worth what we paid. I will give this place another shot but not anytime soon. Thank you to the waitress for removing my shrimp crostini off the ticket. Again sauce was delicious but my bread was so soggy first bite threw me off because the texture was like a garlic shrimp bread pudding.

Great Food and Ambiance. Love sitting outdoors under the big fans. The service is fantastic.

The food is really good, it was a clean restaurant, friendly service with a fun atmosphere.

No stranger to the location since we used to go to the German place that was there before. Everything started out great. Ordered Cold beer and fresh east coast oysters and had good quick service. Moved onto the main course and it went south pretty quick. My wife and I split the stuffed flounder. It was undercooked and cold in the center. Obviously we didn't take it home. Wrapped up the meal with a decent dessert only to have it paired with a lukewarm cup of coffee. Wife says never again but I'd go back for beer and oysters.

First time here and the food was amazing, I got a pound of easy peel shrimp with potatoes and mushrooms. I WOULD DIE FOR THE MUSHROOMS!! Also recommend the strawberry basil lemonade.

Great crawfish and Cajun butter was so good! great service too! House-made ice cream also incredible.

Great food and atmosphere! Our waitress, Hayley was awesome and very attentive!!!!!!!!!

Yummy Hamburger and Fries‼Great place to sit outdoors and relax! Key Lime pie is one of my favorite desserts Thanks again, for another great experience in dining‼ Warm Regards, Beverly R

Absolutely the best restaurant in the Houston area Food- spectacular. Wonderful laid back menu with nothing but quality ingredients and a flair for opulence. From the burgers to the seafood there is a clear sense of creativity and quality Service- very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They seem to really care for your experience Ambiance- very fun and relaxing atmosphere

The menu has a lot of great food choices. The food we ordered was good, the truffles fries and ceviche tostada. I've tried this place many times. I can't get past the non attentive service and the manager doesn't seem to notice. I won't go back.

Burgers leave something to be desired. Not great, but ok. I'd rather choose a different burger spot. Glad they're going strong and maybe suit a different crowd...

Bert was a great bartender! Very good vibes. We come here for brunch often and sit at the bar, and often have great bartenders.

This is one of the few restaurants that actually gives me good vibes today! I ordered a pineapple-flavored smoothie, and it was the best! The seafood was amazing! If you're ever in the area, stop on by!

Buena comida gran ambiente familiar buena música buenos tragos buena cerveza y lo que es mejor cada que vienes te regalan una cerveza también tienen programa de rewards cuando cumples años también te dan un regalo y todavía falta el dessert ! Dios mío ! Cómo quedarme sin probar el postre

Awesome ambience and vibes. Live oysters in tank to choose from. Great food and menu selections. Happy staff and friendly environment.

One of our favorite spots! We love Brian, Maddy, Eric and Burt. They always take care of us. Food is always amazing and service and atmosphere is great.

A tale of two restaurants...one night 2 orders on Saturday night January 14: Experience 1: I order food from restaurant get ok experience and ok food. Gumbo was decent, but fried oysters were undercooked and fries old but overall ok experience. I say ok I'll go back and get some gumbo sometime because it had a good flavor. Experience 2: About an hour or so later my sister decides to order some stuff for her family. This is when the good vibes faded, and it became more like bad vibes. Get to the restaurant to pick up my sister's order, and we check her order and there are big hunks of barely cut up cornbread in the bag. Then we ordered 4 separate sides of rice and got two random sides of rice instead for our 4 individual gumbo orders. We were told the restaurant just combined all the rice altogether. Heck, how can they assume, all this food is going to same residence...I could be surprising a friend at work or a sick person with their own separate order of food. We got charged for 2 sides of rice that were supposed to come free with gumbo and had to hunt the manager down to get those 2 paid for sides of rice; he rolled his eyes and complained about how crowded and busy they were and acted like he didn't want to help us. Also paid an extra $3 per cup of gumbo and $5 per bowl of gumbo for crabmeat to be added that also seemed to be missing. His attitude was terrible and he was very dismissive like we had to be there as customers. Both the cup of gumbo and bowl of gumbo 2 different sizes came in same sized containers. Manager said they just put different amounts in same container. Can you tell the difference it's like a difficult level spot the difference puzzle smh ‍ He continued cursing about all the customers he was dealing with and why they were out of containers. I had so much hope for this place with the cute patio and live music, and I live to support Mom and Pop establishments; however, never again will I visit this place. We left tonight feeling violated and confused about service received. Additionally, the young staff there needs to be trained better on assisting customers and answering questions. They mostly stood around looking like deer in headlights...wide eyed and confused. All our questions to the staff about food was met with "uh...let me get the manager." Really sad because my sister has lived in the neighborhood where they're located for over 20 years. Lol, probably not a great idea to alienate your target market. We'll be making that extra drive back to Abe's Cajun restaurant off Highway 3 and Clear Lake City Blvd or Magnolia's Cajun on 518 near Dixie Farm. Both have exceptional customer service and solid dependable food service/ pricing.

I got the shrimp and potato fries and I told her I wanted cocktail sauce for my shrimp. Finally got my food, but instead of getting cocktail sauce for my shrimp I got tartar sauce. I said I needed cocktail sauce when she came back quite a while later my food is cold no cocktail sauce. Very poor service here there was a group next to us. She was going over to them quite often when we ask for something instead of coming back to us. She goes over to them never go back here would not ever recommend this place. This dumb thing is requiring me to put STARZ up. It don't even deserve the one star!

It was our first time here and we will definitely be back. We ordered the queso, oysters Rockefeller, raw oysters, onion rings, peel n eat shrimp & crawfish. We loved everything! Our waitress was fabulous and the service was good. The patio is such a nice place to chill on a warm sunny day.

We went here for my son's birthday back in December, now we're back for Father's Day. we love the atmosphere and the food is AMAZING. The service is top notch and our waiters have been wonderful each time. Definitely our go to for special occasions.

July Bday Celebration Lunch & I had the best grilled oysters Rockefeller I have had in a Longgggg time! Everything was amazing...From the Hemingway martini, truffle fríes, mini wedge salad, and queso de vida (avocado on the bottom)!!! Also, the fried shrimp platter and a grilled mahi taco were both delish. The Hurricane that you can only have 2 of & are cut off ... And we used our Bahfl Card too and saved 10% Ohhh, and the pineapple bread pudding with vanilla bean gelato!!! Also, we love the music there...
