    Hanging out outside near the sign

    Great vibes, disappointing bites Came here with high hopes for a fun night out, and in some ways, it delivered. The line dancing was the highlight, although the teaching was "learn as you do it" and not remedial for me, lol. There was good music, a lively crowd, and friendly vibes all around. It's a great spot if you're looking to dance and unwind. Unfortunately, the happy hour food didn't measure up. The jerk chicken was overcooked and dry (I'm a visual foodie) and the rest of the small bites did not have my interest. Service was slow and a bit disorganized, which made the experience feel less enjoyable overall. I'm not sure it would warrant another visit from me to try the regular menu. Come for the dancing on Thursdays and good energy, but eat beforehand.

    SoBe has been a staple in the PG County community for many years. I've been there many times. This time it was for Thursday Line Dancing. It was a lively scene with energetic music, dancing, and overall vibes. There's a lounge area where people watch sports in addition to an outside patio for hookah. Our waiter was attentive and very personal able. SO the service was good. The food was okay, just a slight above ok. It was hot (temperature and spices). I had wings, lobster mac and cheese. The best part of the night was line dancing It was fun learning.

    Ok, seconder timer here, and I had have to update... The vibes, lighting, and entertainment statement still stands. I went this night in particular for my best friends birthday and the girllllls had a ball! Their calamari was delicious, but the cajun chicken pasta... lacked the cajun lol. To be more honest, it was better the next day heated up an adding your own kick at home. But such a vibe nonetheless! Pictured within my review are pictures of the other girls meals including catfish, their huge Caesar salad, and fried rice which I tried and enjoyed! Now trying their menu more than once, I really enjoyed their pasta and catfish.... but, let's get into this liquor now. As mentioned before, this outing was for my best friends birthday, so drinks were flowing. And to my surprise, the bill comes and 4 shots of Don Julio Reposado was $160. Not sure about you, but I know I could've walked 0.2miles away and gotten two BOTTLES for that price that that 4 shots..... ON TOP OF THAT, the bill includes an automatic 18% gratuity without splitting multiple checks, so also keep that in mind. Now that I've been to Sobe more than once, I think I can solidify that Sobe is a good place for food and entertainment but if you want to drink, pregame before you come. : )

    Fried Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese, & Greens

    Overall, the restaurant venue was very posh! I got the Lobster & French toast, which tasted yummy. The Lobster wasn't as juicy as I was expecting. My date got the fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, & greens. They said it could've used some more seasoning. They requested salt & pepper for the table, which helped a little. The service was attentive & quick.

    SoBe - I have to give them credit, the inside is beautiful. Who doesn't like live music with dinner? Let's get into the food! Appetizer: Shrimp was delicious, the cabbage garnish was perfect! Kudos to the chef for that TOUCH! I got the Salmon. The salad was perfect! It was dressed with just the right amount of dressing! Rice was good! Salmon was good, it was cooked well well and a little dry but overall good! No complaints honestly. My date got the Lobster and he shared! It was yummy! Drinks were delicious! Coconut Ciroc drink was perfect! Coming back the second or fourth Friday! lol See you soon!

    My wife and I came here for a graduation party. 06.21.25. I've been here a couple times before for gatherings and never thought much of it, it's an ok spot. This place has to have the worst bartenders in the world. Really bad attitudes for no reason. I wanted to buy drinks for my wife and I and two other friends. The first bartender approached while we're getting the order together. I look away then look up and she's gone. When she came back, I make a gesture for her to come take our order and she waves her hands and says something(couldn't hear because the music was loud) then walks away again. The 2nd bartender wasn't much better, still had a bad disposition. They think they are doing you the favor for paying for their watered down drinks. Can make 10X better at home. I will never buy anything out of this venue again.

    Brussel Sprouts
    Kiana M.

    This was my first time visiting and it was very packed that night. We were able to be seated when we arrived and the ambiance was really cute inside. If a band is playing, you have to arrive before 7pm to avoid a cover charge. The food was ok. The wings were overcooked and did not have a lot of sauce. The Brussels sprouts were great!! my brother had the calamari and said it was really tasty. The bar stayed packed and the drinks were pretty good. I would go back to try an actual meal vs appetizers.

    Lobster Mac and Cheese
    Vivian J.

    The Ambience is nice but the live music draws you into the place. I love the vibe and the bands they feature there. The bar service is better if you are sitting at the bar. If not, the wait line for the bar can take some time. I suggest you get there early to get a seat. The food is Delicious! We enjoy their Jamaican Jerk Chicken, SoBe Crispy Shrimp (my favorite), Crab cakes, and Lobster Mac & Cheese (Scrumptious). While the service is extremely slow on the dining room side, it is worth the wait. With that said, let's talk about the service. The bartenders are on point. However, the dining room side seems chaotic with so many people bunched up in that space and not enough servers. They are understaffed. We had to run down our waiter because he hardly came back to the table. While I recommend this spot for the food and music, please be patient because the service leaves a lot to be desired!

    SoBe Alfredo Pasta with oxtails
    S M.

    The food here is absolutely delicious. I've never been disappointed. The pasta and oxtails were amazing. The Brussel sprouts are a must have. The catfish is always fresh and crispy. The star island punch was a banger (gotta like alcohol though). The service started out slow but she eventually picked it up & handled business. Vybe was there performing and you know they are a whole vibe by themselves. Great place for live music and dancing.

    All Natural Southern Buttermilk Fried Chicken
    Aleka P.

    Food was great! I had the fried chicken, mac and cheese, and greens. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The service wasn't that great. We were seated by the host in the bar area then later moved because that table was reserved. The server took a while to greet us and bring items over. My margarita was just ok, nothing to brag about. The music was too loud, you couldn't hear the people at your table talk! I would only go back for that meal!

    I like the food . Drinks were really good . Service is prompt but food took awhile. Ambiance 5 out of 5. I will be back ! I did inquire about reserving the venue for a party and they were very prompt with returning my calls. I appreciate that.

    First drink is empty,  I asked for a 2 nd and it's smaller and you charging me the same thing.  SMDH

    I visited Myste for a private event, and while the space itself is very aesthetically pleasing, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, mainly due to the food and service. The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

Service was great considering the place is small, it's hard to miss customers. It's a small hookah lounge in downtown Laurel, so don't expect a ton of space, but it's still a nice little spot to unwind after a long day or make a chill after-dinner stop. Hookah was smooth and the atmosphere was laid back. They do sell food, but we didn't try it this time. My only downside is the drink menu, it's mostly wine and champagne but overall it's a place I could see myself frequenting.

The food here was delicious for my large group. So flavorful and well done. I'd certainly return to eat. Now, for the vibes. I hate loud music at a restaurant, but this spot had basically no speakers on their rooftop. So the sound was very low for the music they were playing. The music might've been coming from the tvs, but I'm sure they have the capability to turn it up a little so it's still background noise, but able to be enjoyed. The service was fast and efficient. Our server was very nice and able to accommodate our mixed spice levels with great recommendations!

Luckily, it more than fit the bill. The atmosphere is definitely more like any other bar you'd go to rather than a hotel bar. A good L-shaped bar with plenty of seats, lots of tables of varying size and height. And plenty of TVs with a variety of games (in this case, college basketball, hockey, NBA). The food menu I believe had just been redone and was imaginative. The Cuban sandwich was a hit (outstanding bread, good size, plenty of meat, I could only eat half), as was the crab cake balls appetizer (worthy of the Maryland crab expectation). Seeing the other food that came out, nobody seemed disappointed. The portions per price wasn't the best, but it certainly was palatable (no pun intended). I might have wanted a few more evenings to sample the fare. The diversity of drinks was a plus, and a minus. They had a number of local bottles and taps, but seemed to be out of a few of them (or they were doing the "dreaded" keg change that rendered them foamy). Seems like a little bit better management here might help (it could very well be I just caught them on a few bad nights). Bartenders were very attentive and the service was quick. Most of the patrons were travelers, many by themselves so there were a lot making conversation for those who were solo. Would I make a special trip to this bar if I were in the area? Probably not. It would be a great place to meet friends after work and it was definitely a plus for someone like me without many travel options.

I always assumed it was just a club/lounge experience, but when I drove by I always saw their signs about having the best suya in the area. I randomly decided to drop by while in the area making my PetCo run (while they were still around). Spectrum is deceptively large. In the middle of the day, it was also quite empty -- some fans were running (it was summer) but the music was still cranking! As a first timer, I honestly didn't know where to go, so I just wandered a bit. I made my way to the back area where it definitely had the party vibes -- lights, couches, bars, all of it. I went up to the register to order food... that was a seamless process. Despite the sign about suya, I got the Passion Chicken... sorry, I wasn't in a suya mood XD. It took about 15-20 minutes to prepare, so I just hung out in one of the fancy lounge seats waiting. My chicken was ready, with plantain and jollof rice... and I sat there, in a lounge, eating it. Not gonna lie, that felt kinda weird LOL! Especially given that I was all by myself in a party room. But you know what? It was a nice vibe! I finished my meal satisfied. There was no low to the meal -- though jollof is never spicy enough for me XD. I hear there have been renovations since I was there, so I need to return some time! Looking forward to it.
