Let's just say it's not a dining enthusiasts dream. BUT The Place was good! We sat outside on their back patio. There was one server holding down the entire place. We didn't find service too slow, however. Our server was a doll - super sweet and engaging when she really didn't have to be due to how busy she was. Their cheese curds with the raspberry jalapeño dipping sauce were to die for. They also make a homemade ranch that was delish! The Alfredo pasta was the only thing we had that wasn't great. My husband had a buffalo chicken wrap - he did say the buffalo sauce had a sweet taste and wasn't that spicy. I love that the bar serves popcorn - great diversion for our 2 young kiddos who loved having something to munch on while we waited. So glad we found this place.

The service and food are impeccable! Roseanna and her team do amazing. Would recommend 10 fold!read more

Living in Ottawa, Ontario, we have been visiting Ogdensburg for years to do shopping or to mail or…read morepick up parcels at the UPS store. While trying a number of other great eating spots there (Little Italy, The Place, Phillips Diner, etc), we never tried Vinn's Tavern, although we always used to drive by it. Finally this past week we gave it a try and were most impressed! Like many small town diners/taverns in New York state, Vinn's is a local watering hole with great comfort food. I was delighted with the chicken and biscuits on mashed potatoes and gravy. My wife had a most tasty ham sandwich with fries that were delightfully crunchy on the outside but wonderfully soft on the inside....probably the best we ever ate. The staff were friendly and attentive, and even provided us with a free pass for the bridge fare on the way back to Canada. Other customers recommended the wings and onion rings, which we will definitely try on our next trip there. All in all, a great little place with wonderful comfort food. Sorry we took so long to discover it!

Prices are reasonable for the quality and taste of the food presented. The chef is particular in sourcing high quality ingredients that when prepared has a unique taste. Some standouts: Seafood Chowder, Burrata cheese served with heirloom tomatoes and balsamic drizzle; petite filet mignon, and a wonderful gelato spumoni encased in a chocolate shell. I know the restaurant has had its ups and downs in recent months, but it is well recommended for a revisit or a first visit. Easily the best dining experience I have ever had in Northern NY.

Looking for a spot to have lunch and this looked like a great option. Not too far from our hotel…read moreand their lunch menu looked good. Located just outside of the busy part of Canton. They have ample parking available so that was a plus. With a surprisingly warm day for October we enjoyed sitting outside on their patio which had little touches in attempting to make it tropical with fake palm trees. Indoor was set up like your typical rustic bar/pub. Drink wise they offered what you'd expect from a full bar with beers, wine, and cocktails. They had a good list of around 8 seasonal cocktails. I got the apple cider margarita and my wife got the cranberry Paloma. Both were huge and delicious and great for fall drinks. We were tempted for the appetizer pork belly tacos but decided against it. Meal wise my wife got the French dip and I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich changed to a wrap. Both were delicious meals and the fries were perfectly crispy. If you read my review so far you'd likely wonder why it's 3 stars and not 4 or 5. Well that would come down to the service we had. Host was friendly and we were sat right away. It was our server that was disappointing in quality of service. When we first showed up it was not busy really at all and it took a long time for our server to show up the first time and also our drinks took a long time too. Once our food arrived we did not see our server again in any way until paying our check, no checking on us or if we enjoyed our meal or anything. So if you plan on coming here for a meal you can except good food and drinks just not sure how the service you get will be. Despite the good meal I would likely look elsewhere next time.
