We returned to The Vintage Brewing Co. for dinner this past weekend. We really want this place to be great but unfortunately have not had great experiences. I will say that the beer has improved from our first visit but the kitchen needs some help.
To start things off, our server listed off 4 beers that they were out of. I completely understand how that happens sometimes but 4 seemed like quite a few.
As we were looking over the menu, he also informed us of 3 or 4 entrees they were out of for the evening. It was 7:30 on Saturday night and the place was dead. Doesn't seem like they ran out, just seems like poor planning.
Hubby and I both ordered the Woodshed IPA & it was great. We started off with cheese curds that were just okay.
Hubby ordered Not Your Mama's Stroganoff for his main meal and a cup of corn bisque. The bisque was great. The stroganoff was absolutely coated in parmesan. When the food was brought to our table, you could smell nothing but parmesan. He said the flavor was decent but it was just barely warm. By the end of the meal it was ice cold and he's a pretty quick eater.
I ordered the Southwest Chicken Wrap, opted for grilled chicken rather than fried & decided to go with the fresh veggies for an upcharge of $2.25. I think they must have skipped the Hoodoo sauce that was supposed to go on the chicken. They also completely missed the corn salsa that was to be on my wrap. It was quite boring. Something I could've thrown together myself at home in a few minutes.
Overall, I think the food is a bit overpriced, especially if you want to "upgrade" to a side that isn't prepared in a deep fryer. I don't expect to go to a brewpub and eat healthily but it wouldn't hurt to offer some healthier options for the same prices as the already overpriced unhealthier options.
I'm sorry Vintage Brewing Co. I really want to like your food but I think I'll just stick with the beer from now on.
