We really enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere for the last Wednesday of the month “Flight Night” at Vintage Tavern. We gave them a try once we noticed additions to the menu selections to include the hot honey chicken sandwich and flat bread. Ray was our server and he was friendly and fantastic, didn’t miss a beat. We ordered the Flight, Wine, Brussels sprouts, Caesar salad, and the Hot honey chicken sandwich (not pictured). The food was delicious and the entire experience was wonderful. The relaxed ambience is perfect for the most fabulous “Date Night” or even “Girl’s Night Out”. This was our first, but not our last time here. Thank you for the great service!

Came here for our 5 yr anniversary on Super Bowl weekend and honestly this was one of the most amazing dining experiences. Misty in the bar was top tier personality and service impeccable. The manager working was extremely friendly and personable. We had the privilege of meeting one of the cooks who made our meal and he was kind as well. Food was 20/10. NOTHING disappointed. Drinks amazing. Food amazing. Customer service amazing. We will absolutely come here again. Vibes were immaculate. Prices were reasonable as well. Truly a hidden gem.we ordered appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks and only spent ~$80/ person

The peppered venison was heavily. Very pleased with professionalism of the staff. We went for our anniversary since it was local and something we hadn’t tried yet. They even gave us a custom menu that said “happy anniversary” on it. Nice atmosphere with cozy decor and lit fire place. The service was more upscale than the food but overall there was nothing to complain about. Definitely recommend and will go back.

Absolute best restaurant experience I have had since COVID changed everything. The staff cares and you can tell. We were warmly welcomed at the door and greeted by any staff we passed on our way to the table. Lovely ambience! The menu was also wonderful with choices for everyone. Our server Patrick, helped make the night with lovely suggestions from the menu that catered to our pallets. We also were celebrating my mom’s birthday and they helped make that special also. You can taste all the love oozing from every dish with no disappointment.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would, will definitely be back.

The experience was pleasant; the place is beautiful and the service was good. We ordered a bottle of wine and it was a great experience. The soup of the day was delicious, but the main course wasn’t what we expected for the price. The brisket was very dry and tasteless, and the sauce on top tasted like ketchup. My husband ordered the duck dish; the duck was delicious, but the side dish only had four vegetables and a spoonful of mashed potatoes. I highly recommend the dessert; it’s the best tiramisu I’ve ever had.

Great Service and Drinks, Food Could Improve
My wife brought me to Vintage Tavern for my birthday, and from the moment we walked in, it was clear they take pride in providing an excellent dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top notch.
Our server Patrick was fantastic. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the evening.
We started with the tuna chowder soup, which was the special of the day. I forgot to get a picture, but it was absolutely delicious. It was flavorful, comforting, and a great start to the meal.
For our entrées, we both ordered the ribs with mac and cheese and added an extra side each. I chose the green beans, and my wife chose the collard greens. The mac and cheese was rich and delicious. The collard greens were on the sweeter vinegary side. Patrick let us know in advance, so it wasn’t a surprise, but they could still use some balance.
Unfortunately, the ribs were disappointing. They were dry, unseasoned, and tough, almost overcooked. The meat was dense and lacked the tenderness you would expect from slow-cooked ribs. Even with the extra barbecue sauce we requested on the side, they remained bland. I am used to fall off the bone ribs, and these were anything but.
On a brighter note, the drinks were excellent. I had the Limoncello Moscow Mule, which was a highlight of the evening. My wife, who is pregnant, had a mocktail called the Pineapple Aperol Tequila Sour, and she really enjoyed it. It was refreshing and thoughtfully crafted, which we appreciated.
Overall, while the food missed the mark, the outstanding service, atmosphere, and drinks make me willing to give Vintage Tavern another try. Next time, we will just choose a different entrée.

I had a mixed experience at Vintage Tavern. On the positive side, our server, Ray, was excellent—very attentive and professional. However, the food didn’t quite live up to the price point. I ordered the pork chop tomahawk, but it surprisingly little meat on the bone. The mashed potatoes had the consistency of instant or boxed mix, and the asparagus side was just four thin strings of greenery. Great service, but the kitchen portions and quality need improvement!

Great service, appetizer (get the taste of southern goodness!), entrees and dessert were all fantastic. Decor and theme of the restaurant are all meticulously put together for a special evening out. They even personalized the menu for my dates birthday! Definitely will be back.

Our daughter gave us a gift card. It was 40 minutes away. Not a bad ride. We had a 6:30 reservation, were seated in a both. The waitor was attentive, we both had the beef, so tender….My hearing is poor in loud rooms, it got quite a little after 7PM. Much better for me. The room was cold for me, the wife had her sweater. We should have eaten out back on the patio, it was a little warmer and only one couple out there. We will come again soon, after 7PM .

The good: the service was expedient and friendly and the atmosphere is really nice (stone fireplace, etc.)
The not-so-good: the food is very hit or miss. I will say you’re in the clear if you stick to the southern/regional dishes (crab cakes, venison, etc.). I got the BBQ brisket plate. While the brisket was tender, there was very little smoke flavor and the “BBQ” sauce on top tasted like spiced ketchup (and was bright red to match). The Mac and cheese was also very dry. Others around me that ordered more traditional southern/new American fare enjoyed their meals far more though.
