My wife and I decided to go to Katy Vibes last night for their comedy night. We should have went a little early to get good seating but wasn't able. Nevertheless we were informed by the host that they were at capacity but we were able to sit out on the patio with no service. Mind you there were two empty tables that the host told us weren't being used. So we elected to go to the patio. In route to the patio we noticed the bar had at least 8 open seats and ask the bar tender if we could sit and we did. Up until this point everything was ok. The problem that I have is that I was positioned with a clear view of the door and magically they were allowing people in again just mins after taking a seat. Typically I would say this is due to social distancing but I assure you that was not the case here last night. Oh, And those two tables that I had just inquired about also magically became available as well. The things that saved the night were the bartenders. They were awesome and I tips them well! The comics weren't very good but it was something to do and we enjoyed having some sense of normalcy. I would recommend getting to this location early to avoid any excuse to be sent to the patio. read more

The food is good and the ambiance is nice. They offer live entertainment and karaoke nights. Nice bar and bar specials. I would have given a higher star rate if the bartender lady dressed more appropriately. I guess she is trying to get a higher tip by showing so much of her chest. We won't be going there anymore unless things change on how she dresses. read more

I do not come here often but decided to check it out... the stars are for the music but not the staff and service. My food was an extra 30 minutes late to the table tonight and the manager came by and said she was comping our drinks but only comped 1 drink. There were 2 of us with separate order so when we flagged our waitress down, she had a smirk on her face with attitude and it took forever just to get it resolved. The drink was $5., don't say you will comp and then don't comply. The tacos were great, their was one staff with beautiful locs and she was super nice and professional. Come on , this is the hikers spot in Katy, customer service needs to be on point! read more

The food here is usually okay but the service there is terrible. We arrived around 8:30 for some crawfish, and get told that the kitchen is closed right now cause it's backed up, but it will be opened up later and we can order then. Okay, that's fine, I'm patient, only to be told at 9:45 oh the kitchen isn't opening. Instead of being up front they will waste you're time just so you buy drinks. So shady and wrong, now it's too late to go anywhere. Thank you for nothing. read more

Nice place. But food is always frozen and tastes like old grease. They should get a real chef and order fresh food. Anybody can pop frozen pre made stuff in grease. Additionally: it's weird you responded about cheesecake being how I didn't mention it. But since you did..I have ordered it before on a different day and it was indeed fried in old grease. Next to that I'm up now because I've been sick since eating the crab cakes. Take this good advice for your business sake. The kitchen is being ran poorly please take note of that. read more

I have been to Katy Vibes several times over the last year. Sometimes, they are short staffed, but I understand new restaurants, and Restaurants in general, have a hard time hiring the right wait and other service staff that have the same vision and are willing to hang with n there during the hard times. (And beginning a Resturant IS a hard time!). Over this year, I have seen a great improvement in the quality, consistency and selection of food. I would put the crawl fish (that comes with corn and potatoes included), up against ANYONE in SE Texas! It's that good! Yesterday, on the anniversary day, they were slammed! It's a good problem and a bad problem. I think they held it together with grace and a good attitude. The band was good. The food was good. Owners and managers were readily available and checking in with guests. I see a bright future for this place. Katy Vibes sets a high standard with the quality of performers on the live stage. The sound is good and getting better. Musicians LOVE to perform there! I love to eat there! Win-win! read more

Best price in Katfor crawfish. They are super spicy and my fingers still felt like they'd been pepper sprayed a day later. Good size field run crawfish with no dead ones. They'll keep getting my business at five bucks a pound. They don't fluff and stuff your order with decoy corn and potatoes, you get the pounds in crawfish and they don't try to nickel and dime you too bad. During COVID they still want me to come in to pay so it's not as smooth as curbside pickup. read more

Been a while since I hung out with a friend did double date night. Hostess rude said place was full at capacity. Place had PLENTY of seating. Bar tender tried to make up for it he over heard us leaving said we could sit at the bar. As we walked back in the hostess again rude yells at us CASH ONLY! YOU WILL NEVER EARN MY BUSINESS AND I HOPE OTHERS READ THIS AND STAY AWAY. You are clearly not Texan! I'm not welcome well neither are you Stay Away Katy! Seems a common issue from all the complaints is the staff and customer service. What are you doing to improve that? Something isn't working if it keeps on happening. @Sam don't worry about me. I was there early. Problem is your staff! Go back and look at all your 1 and 2 star reviews. But you don't have to worry about me no more. I took care of the problem we won't be stopping by anymore. Plenty of other businesses in Katy that appreciate repeat customers. I am not looking for a free anything I recommend training the staff to be customer service friendly. You give customers options show empathy and or understanding. But that might be a bit to much for your crew. read more

Angel is an awesome waiter very attentive they do not short you on the alcohol the perfect margarita is great it is smooth and I think it will sneak up on you I got a strawberry margarita with chamonya I know I spelled it wrong but hey I'm intoxicated I will definitely be back the food was good as well read more

Lovely big bar . Drinks are pretty nice and strong . I have not really tried other food here but the crawfish. Which was really awesome. Did not expect much from it but it was tasty. Spicy and tasty enough. read more

Ordered 6 lbs of crawfish though DoorDash just now. Some were mushy, a few dead before cooking, some spicy , some not. Saying on DD that each pound comes with 1 potato and 1 corn.... I received 1/2 a potato( unseasoned - bland) per pound and 0 corn... there was 2 kernels at the bottom of the pan. It's almost as if they throw each batch together and some get old .... Some were super large and some small.. but it's early in the season so the super large were a great surprise. Won't be ordering them again . I eat crawfish every other day. read more

No matter how long you are there you have to pay a cover charge at 9! If you are not aware they will Make you feel like an idiot for asking simple questions. If I could give this place a zero I would but that's not an option. After expressing concerns to the managers he said sorry come back... read more

It was 12/13/23, karaoke night and this venue Katy Vibe. Now not being a singer myself l enjoyed listening. The singers did and awesome job. What I didn't agree with was the kj/dj skipping singers to let their preference or friend sing before other that signed up well in advance of the others. In addition to this drink prices are not competitive at. overall, it was a OK experience at best but through Facebook probably will not be visiting just based on my first experience. No. read more

This place has potential to be a cool spot. The food is decent and the drinks are good. My family and I have come for the Wednesday night karaoke and it is run sooo poorly. It's such a simple system to rotate people through but the "host" had a 5 page list and completely ignored people until I finally asked about the order after he allowed the same people to sing 4 times in a row. It's really frustrating to bring your family for a night of fun and have to watch everyone else get to sing and enjoy their night. It was such a waste of a night. read more

We called to make reservations & were told we needed to come down to make a reservation. When we got here we were told they don't take reservations as it was a first come basis for their Sunday show. When we got here there were multiple tables with reserved signs??!! Very disappointing to be lied to. Let's hope the food & drinks are worth it read more

My friends and I came through on a Friday night, to see what this place was like.... It was a hot mess. You can't tell if it's a karaoke bar, sports bar, or banquet hall. The place has no sense of identity or direction. The staff was friendly enough, but didn't know how to make all of the signature cocktails. The drink prices were at least low. Also, the music was insanely loud for there only being 15 people in the place. Not to mention the music jumped from 70's disco throw back, to modern day hip hop, then to Bachata. Needless to say, we won't be going back. read more

Their tag line is spot on! Real Food ~ Real Entertainment We were happily surprised to be so "wowed" by the food. We had the fish & chips and the mushroom burger. Both were excellent! The crab stuffed, deep fried mushrooms were the dotcom! The comedy show was stellar! read more

I've been to this place twice. First time the service was horrible, took too long to get drinks and food. Second time I was asked to open a tab to dine in. Asked the table behind us and next to us and they were not asked for any card before dining. Talked ti the manager and he said that's their policy because a lot of people have walked out without paying. Horrible experience!! DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I would say my problems with this place are simple. More staff for big events and more flavor to your food please. Simple salt in the batter or on the wings can help but may need more. Our poor waitress tried her best and was genuinely sorry for her lack of attention to our table. We couldn't even get a simple glass of water...so sad. I could see this place being the place to go in Katy...just season please! read more

VIP BIRTHDAY PARTY the worth experience ever Poor communication with customers and very negative stuff Long story friends but you will be shocked 1. At first when I was booking the party people on the phone kept changing prices on me, children's allowing times and what's VIP area including with the price. They kept calling me a liar when I was referring to information they originally gave me. Was completely rude and the only reason I didn't cancel on them just because I already invited about 100 people and didn't want to move party last minute . SO WE BOOKED A WHOLE VIP AREA so you all understand. 2. Birthday party was planned for 6pm. Me and my husband arrived at 5:40pm and there was no sign of VIP we reserved being arranged or set up for the party. It took a while to get someone to take a first order. NO ONE PERSON OUT OF THE WHOLE PLACE for the whole time !!!! Came to me and simply said "Happy Birthday!" I don't even say about any recognition or special treat! NO Birthday dessert or anything from this place, so awful!!! Remember VIP lounge and services was paid ahead 3. We had families orientated first 1,5 hours. It was an agreement that servers will nicely remind people about children time restrictions about 30 minutes before. Of course it wasn't like that at all, they remember it right at time and was bothering me to tell families to leave. Guys it not my job it's yours, why should I tell my guests to leave when I just trying to enjoy my celebration not to worry about that, it's your job, you got paid to take care of this things and plan accordingly . They were rushing people out of door last minute. So unorganized and not planned. 4. About kids another story they were sitting at the separate table and was ordering food and not ones waitress came to parents to approve the order!!!! Shame on you, what if child has allergy, they don't know what can be in the plate. 5. For the VIP package we had band covered charge included. But for some reason they tried to make us pay for the wristbands again very rudely. Witch was promised to be provided upon my arrival. They probably will call me liar again Besides that some of my guests who arrived later still was charged the entrance fee. 6. Terrible organization and party service. I had to instruct waitress to make sure they open the tabs and put cards on file from the beginning. Guess what? They didn't do it very well besides that missed spelled peoples names,what ended up being a big issue. 7. No one asked for ID's and we had 20 years old "child" about to turn 21 WITH PARENTS!!!! As we got informed at 11pm she can't be here even with her parent guardian. SORRY WE DIDN'T KNOW !!!AND WE WERE JUST in VIP , separated from all people,didn't bother nobody. So rather then nicely and quietly come and ask friends of mine to close out and leave . Again I got bothered and yelled at witch is remembered we had lot of people! And again it's not my job. So place choose to create a big drama around it and make a circus seen and treating us with a police Hello you let this people in yourself ‍ Just so you know it was already 11:00pm by then, we've been there since 6:00pm ( 5 hours total). Girl left ... 8. And they come to me saying we all have to leave .So that being said they kicked us out I would like to clarify that we are intelligent, successful and wealthy people. But this place doesn't get that kind of customers and now we know why. Managers and all employees are trashy absolutely unprofessional and disrespectful. 9. Okay we left. Guess what happens next They chase us on the parking lot saying that some tabs have no cards on file ‍ How smart of you to escort somebody without closing the tabs first and again I've told them to take cards from the very beginning but we all know by now how smart they are 10. On top of it all, we get stack paying OUTSIDE after they kicked us out !!!! And most of the tabs were messed up and had extra stuff on there. And this employees giving us this looks and rolling eyes towards us, like omg 11. Very concerning that no one Manager came by at all time to ask how is everything going, not to mention to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". And the craziest even when problems happened. Managers still stayed out of it and send their employees do their job‍ Funny story to remember, like a throw back to the high school years But to take humor on the side... we got very offended and screwed. My Birthday was destroyed by this people, my guests were upset with the treating they received in here. And we will make sure we take this way far then a review. It's just a beginning read more

Katy Vibes - Great concert THIS FRIDAY!!! - Music Venues Near Me - Katy, Texas

I honestly had an unpleasant experience. Firstly the time isn't as posted. Next, after I was seated I had to get out of my seat after about 10-15 mins of waiting and find a server. The hostess said she told "Daniel to come over" I still have yet to see Daniel. Not likely to return which is pretty sad considering the Dj was jammin. To add insult to injury the drinks came out incorrect. When I asked for a refund I was left waiting an additional almost 15 mins. Don't come here. read more

Wonderful environment! Came here 1st whole waiting for a friend of my son's party to end and thought, I have to come back. Two weeks later, after dinner with friends, they asked where should we go? and I said Katy Vibes. It was a risk seeing that I had only been here once, but my gut told me it would be worth it and it was! Great music! They an awesome group that night. It was just a great time all around. read more

I've been there 3 times and this last time was my last time . It was a descent place when it first opened , but service is terrible now . This last time my friend and I waited for 38 minutes just to get our drinks which is unacceptable and then my vodka soda w line came out without a lime and my friend's dressed beer came u dressed . The place has gotten way a little trashy , including the crowd and service . The waitress was unapologetic and said this restaurant is very unorganized . We asked for the check after asking her 6 times for the status of our first drink and it took her 20 additional minutes to bring the check . Not to mention she didn't provide a pen so we had to wait for her again to bring one . Waitress's name was Jade I believe . read more

The service was horrible I waited 10 mins before the waitress came to the table.. The crawfish was the worst I've had. They were Luke warm at best... Manager came over and had an excuse like this is the first time I've had crawfish. They should be hot when served. The salt or seasoning on top would make one's blood pressure go up for sure. So so so salty I had to dip in butter sauce just to get the salt taste off. Thankfully I only ordered 3 lbs even though it was a waste. I would not recommend this place and it's not the first time there . Last time their fish was not cooked in the middle. read more

Katy Vibes - Vortex burger no bueno! - Music Venues Near Me - Katy, Texas

Formerly Vortex but apparently a bar from Atlanta didnt like sharing a name with them so now they're Katy Vibes (personally I like the name much better). So I can't speak to you about the food or entertainment here yet. I can tell you that we've been here 3 or 4 times at least and have only had the their crawfish. 1st time was the grand opening weekend and we weren't expecting much. They had crawfish $4.99 lb while everyone else was $7.99 and up per lb. Somebody posted on fb. They were cheap. Didnt have high expectations figuring it was a gimmick to get people to come check them out a new bar. Been to a few bars were they put some propane burners and pots and serve them up in styrofoam contsiners . So with those expectations we were absolutely blown away. They were AHMAZING. Served on a table with real cloth napkins and silverware and a nice big elegant ceramic platter! I went to college in Louisiana so I've had my share of crawfish over the years. But Wow! They're spicy flavorful and good sized. Never have we had an over cooked batch. Now its middle of June and the crawfish is 3.99 a lb and just as good! The place is modern and spacious. On one visit a server was telling us about how big the kitchen was and the size of the boilers were for the crawfish. Apparently the crawfish aren't just a gimmick after all (no propane boilers and ice chests set out in the back like I pictured). This is no dive bar that serves food. This is a nice establishment that I hope sticks around dispite being bullied by bigger chains that used to share a name. Definitely a place you should check out any time of day or night. read more
