Been a regular here for more than ten years now.
We come by a few times a month usually for lunch or dinner but I also come with friends about once a week for a beer.
I don't think of this location as a "dive bar" but more of a neighborhood restaurant. I frequently see families with young kids dining at this establishment.
I used to say the Vine has the BEST french fries. Lately they haven't been up to par AND they've been holding out. Portions have decreased.
Most of the items on the menu are pretty good and they have set special every day of the week.
What I don't like about the Vine:
*They charge for a ramekin of anything extra. Really? You have to charge me for buffalo sauce?
I swear it takes longer for them to approach the table, then you got another wait for them to bring the drinks.
I realize part of the fault could be the kitchen but the other delays are exclusively the server.
We don't come here to watch the game or just drink a few beers, we come to enjoy a meal and then we our out of there.
Wish they had a better selection of beers on tap.
Also wish they would put the races (drags) on when they're playing instead of multiple tvs playing assorted ball games.
Really, a little improvement with the service would be a welcome upgrade.
