Stopped by Vandal and ordered the red snapper with seasoned rice, plus a couple of Tito’s and cranberries. The snapper was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, and the rice complemented it really well. The drinks were mixed perfectly and hit the spot. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Definitely looking forward to coming back. My server Taylor was amazing! When I come back I will request her every time! Next guys night out at Vandal!
Reviews
I usually write reviews exclusively for businesses owned by people of African descent because I believe that supporting our community is the most effective way to improve their conditions by fostering economic opportunities. Although this establishment is not owned by someone of direct African ancestry, it is operated by an individual of color who, based on their paintings and social media presence, demonstrates that if we are to support those who are not part of our direct African ancestry, we should at least support individuals who do not harbor negative sentiments towards us. In my experience there, I encountered one waitress towards the end who was exceptional and very friendly. There was another waitress whom you might describe as having had a bad day; we should recognize that we do not know what others might be going through. Overall, my experience with that one waitress was less than satisfactory, but based on what I have observed on social media about the business owner, if your options are between this establishment and another hookah venue that is not ours, I would recommend supporting this one.
I like this place. The hookah was very smooth and mixed right. The prices were pretty decent not overly priced. The food was really really good. I had wings with the sweet chili flavor and my husband had tacos. We shared the fries cause it was a pretty big Shareable order. It was really good and we were stuffed. The drinks were OK. I recommend them if you want to grab some good food and a hookah. Oh, and the music selection was good mostly hip-hop and R&B.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience! The hookah bar had a great atmosphere, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive. The service was excellent, and everyone made sure we were comfortable and having a good time. I really appreciated the hospitality and friendly service. I’ll definitely be back!
This Instagram-worthy spot is a great place for both girls and guys to hang out on a Saturday night. The music is great, with a DJ who doesn’t play much R&B, keeping the crowd entertained. The food is also delicious. The only downside is that they try to limit the number of people who can share a hookah to just two. While they can’t tell you how to share a hookah, it’s still a bit frustrating. Overall, the prices are reasonable, especially considering that I’m coming from Atlanta where a hookah costs $50. I definitely plan to revisit this spot. The drinks are great, the vibe is fun, and the automatic 20% gratuity is added.
