I've come here for specific items over the past few years and wanted to like the atmosphere. Each visit has been disappointing with lackluster service and food. Pretzels, I think they want to pass them as homemade but they aren't hot nor tasty - seem like frozen from a box. If they are house made there is no indication in flavor, texture, temp, or appearance. The most recent dinner the entire table ended up with soggy, tasteless fish and chips when we were all craving a Friday Fish Fry and VBC was the nearest restaurant. I was salting that fish like crazy to no avail. Also, if the chips are supposed to be house made they are not fresh fried. It's just cold chips which are unappealing. I wish the food could be hot, fresh, and visually appealing, because I like the idea of VBC but the food consistently is disappointing.
